Rogue Football State ☞ South Australia! ☜

[sevengoals]

So what happened on the weekend that has so riled our "Great Leader"?
I couldn't find anything on it in the Advertiser on-line.

SA is the rogue soccer state of Australia, and FFA boss Ben Buckley is advocating change.

The Football Federation Australia chief executive was appalled by the brawl that marred an SA Amateur Soccer League division-four clash between Maiwand and Seaford Rangers at the North Adelaide university grounds on Sunday.

"It's time for all the football community in South Australia to be united and affiliated," Buckley said. "This violent incident, there's no place for it at any level."

Buckley is seeking a meeting after Sunday's brawl indicated the game was not moving forward because an SA soccer majority had not adhered to the 2003 Crawford Report - a revolutionary document that changed governance and other areas of the game.

Did it end like the Spanish Super Cup or something?

50 person brawl in amateur league, people hospitalised. Media also taking the opportunity to bash the game of course.

Really?

Show me? Link?

All i have read is small articles on the incident, theres been no bashing of the code from where i have been sittimg.

All the negqtive pieces i have been reading lately have been about introducing criminal laws in sport due the the thuggery in local afl games, aswell as a protest against the new lights for the bays due to rowdy sanfl fans.

Lets forget we read that and just keep playing the victims all time. Its what this code does best.

I get it, the game sometimes gets the wromg end of the stick, but everytime a factual article comes out that is just reporting facts it IS NOT an opportunity to play the victim which im so sick of seeing sections of the game do

More on the TV and Radio news. Plenty use of the words "soccer hooligans" etc.

True but I never hear about fighting in other amatuer sports on prime time news.

It's the whole vibe, mabo etc.

literally, apparently someone used a corner flag as a weapon.

I think Maiwand is a place in Kandahar province, Afghanistan.
