Football goons, I am lined up outside Adelaide Oval waiting for the gates to open, and there are many, many people. Go you reds!

quote:

Adelaide United would like to make the following statement.
After the game last night a number of fans saw fit to express their views as to the team�s performance and the �lack of� investment this season in the Adelaide United playing squad.

Putting aside the totally inappropriate language used and directed to AUFC Board Members and family of our coaching staff, which will be dealt with, the Club believes it is important to correct the falsities in the minds of some fans regarding player spend this season.
The Club has spent 100 per cent of the Hyundai A-League�s salary cap and we have utilised our home-grown player allocation and marquee funds.

Our recruitment and retention decisions have not been made by a sole individual. The Club�s Football Sub-Committee, which includes owners, senior management, and all members of the coaching staff, have been aligned through this process.
We equally share the burden of our successes and failures.

The entire football community in South Australia has benefitted from the investment we have made in Hyundai A-League, Women's Football, and Youth Development. This is without mentioning the infrastructure costs associated with the setting up of the Playford Training Facility and the soon to be opened Northern Football Building at Elizabeth.

In addition to this, our January transfer window recruitment plan, which we are already implementing, has been in place since the start of the season. We are working feverishly to secure the further players we acknowledge are required to return the Club to its rightful position on the ladder.
We anticipate making positive announcements in this regard during the course of the transfer period which closes Saturday, 4 February.

Henriques is a terrible footballer, and is emblematic of the club's mismanagement.

I'm enjoying watching us take on a team with two Brazilian attacking players each worth more than every squad Adelaide has ever had, kind of us to take them on with our list of free transfers

Apart from the time Diawara got behind him, so he grabbed him around the arm with both hands and hauled him back, sure.

Pity the ref short-circuited due to water leakage from that burst valve in the last 20 minutes, and yellow carded the whole team out of the Gamba Osaka game next week.

Adelaide's entertaining ACL campaign lives on, equalised 3-3 at the death in Japan with full backs as centrebacks, and wingers as fullbacks, pretty good result

I don't mind losing to Japan away so much, what I do mind is that we were put in the situation of needing points by drawing away to Thailand and Iraq.

Sure, but you can't have ball boys running away with the ball like that, there has to be a punishment. Mate of mine in Switzerland said the incident made the news over there, and he wanted to know why the ball boy hadn't been banned yet as well

this is the worst take I have ever read

So you think the ball boy did the right thing?

Do you think it's wrong for the ball boy to be stood down for a month, and have explained to him that what he did was wrong, and a ball kid is there to throw the ball back to the players/ref when demanded, and not to attempt to influence the outcome of the game?

I'm not rewriting history, I'm watching the replay. The kid turned his back, hugged the ball, and moved away, he was trying to stall. Plenty of ball kids try to do it, and they shouldn't.

let's see if I have this straight: a literal child turns away from a man twice his size running at him from a blind-spot, and it's the child who should be punished?

you would have flinched too. get help.

Marrone did wrong, and was rightly punished. The kid also did wrong, and needs to have explained to him exactly what and why. Ball boys don't get a free pass to do whatever they want because they're 12.

It's entirely possible Adelaide could have won that game, if only the players weren't brokebrain fuckwits who couldn't out think a half in the bag pub side.

The League is prepared to stump up the bonus $3mill special player fund for Iniesta to come down here, presumably to a struggling, hard working club that has consistently had near capacity crowds despite a recent stretch of hard years and bad results, like Sydney FC
