Great article on the Mariners rise to the top

‘Perfect model’ that’s created ‘clearly the best story in Australian football’
Central Coast Mariners are the Isuzu UTE A-League Premiers for the first time in 12 years. It's one of the best stories in Aussie sport.

Some interesting initiatives from the MLS. Wouldn't mind trying these out here to help stop the time wasting
Common sense initiatives. Surprised it's taken this long to start something like this. Gotta keep the game moving, we don't pay to watch time wasting.

and channel 10 end up showing an ad instead of the presentation and when they did show it didn’t even show the speech
so much for bringing fans closer

Agree in principle with most of that stuff but 15 seconds seems a bit harsh for a player to have to get back up again or be withdrawn for 2 minutes!!
Stop the pointless physio trips where guys are absolutely ok. Stop the piss weak rolling around
I'm all for it, great initiative and not a single downside imo. Get tackled, get up and stop being a sook!

I am but a hard tackle where you're winded from being flattened takes some time to get up from even if you're fine.
I would say 45 secs would be more realistic. If a player cops it in the nuts they shouldn't be forced off for 2mins because it took longer than 15 secs to get their breath back!
I'd say legitimate hard tackles that take > 15 seconds to recover from are < 5% of the times players roll around on the floor tbh.
Will be a huge improvement on the game if implemented world wide and should be ASAP
Yikes, Uli. As if he hasn't been through enough, he does this...
Was the wrong video shown on the deleted tweet?

It was one of an alleged yellow, I’ve deleted the post.
Spot fixing is one of the easiest ones to detect.
Authorities get warned with irregular betting patterns, high volumes of cash plunged on things that draw little action. They look at the punters history, what the wager on, what their success rate is, how much they'd bet, then it's all traceable. They might not find you the next day but give it a few months they'll come knocking.
NRL had Ryan Tandy in 2010 trying to give awat a penalty right in front of the posts to fix a first score by penalty goal bet. Foiled as the Cowboys took a quick tap, but all the money plunged at the TAB lead to an investigation and charges.
The stuff finishes careers, for almost no real payout. These guys careers will be over should the charges stick.

How could they simply "discover" him taking instructions? A strange thing for coppers to say.

It's pretty disgraceful when it's the ruddy captain.
Very hard to not feel that it's the tip of the iceberg.
And soccer is all very too vulnerable to this.
The fact that it was the captain who is(was) well regarded just makes what happened worse and something that Macarthur will need to look at more so the if they were 2nd string players.
What happens and youth level is worse, you just hope that this causes a better look at what has and can happen
