I can't believe there is a discussion going on about FFA HQ needing to be based in Canberra.
One day there will be a club based in Canberra playing in the A-league. What then? Move it to Northern Territory?
I agree 100% that Sydney FC do get away with much more fucked up referee calls than any other club, but ffs it has nothing at all to do with where the FFA HQ is based.

ref conspiracies are generally full of shit. but there has been an established tendency to favour winning teams/athletes across a lot of sports - particularly when there is a bit of celebrity involved. our teams are only as good as their performance in the ACL.

+x+x+x+x+x+x+xCan somebody in Sydney help out Redkat? He needs your support. Try address maybe one of my flaws in your "argument" ? I have no idea what you are trying to say ? Why is FFA based in Sydney over Canberra is the question. It could possibly be because Sydney is the biggest city in the country. Just a thought. + organised football began in Sydney before any other city in Australia. + has more registered footballers than any other city in Australia, nearly 4 times more than the next city Melbourne. + does any sport have their national headquarters in Canberra? For football to make it big in Australia it needs that situation to change.Melbourne sees football as a sport run from Sydney. The Sydney bias probably comes in part from that fact. While that is the situation AFL will continue to rule here. (AFL is such a rubbish sport, Football will be bigger one day, but some things need to change first. Football is winning over Rugby. Football needs to start thinking more long term. Losing the Sydney centric thinking and Team 11 would be a good start). Absolutely it needs to change. Instead of there being 75k registered players in Victoria there needs to be 250k to match NSW and the ACT at 4% of the population being registered players. What are you doing about it? No use being on here playing silly buggers when you could be out growing the game. Just imagine Victoria producing enough players out of that lot to have the Victorian A-league, 2nd Division and NPL clubs full of Victorians. It would be a new experience for you all and you might even get more than 1 Director elected to the FFA Board. Good advice. I coach so I am already doing my bit. How about some of you others on here. Get off your butt and help grow the game.

If a Canberra team comes in they will need some help. I am happy for them to have some bias. Anything to get away from the current situation were SFC are the pets.

Iknowbest is a troll. I wouldn't take anything he says seriously. Either that or he is an absolute nutter. Moving FFA HQ to Canberra? F**king lol.

Move the HQ, the VAR room and all refs to a cruise ship in international waters.

Sydney people are too self centered. If you can not look after the interests of the game you lose the right. Growth outside of NSW needs FFA out of Sydney. Sydney will soon no longer be the largest city in Australia. No trolling - genuine points to improve the game in Australia.

its not bias, just perception of bias. which is just as bad. if you look at all the big blue controversies over the years, every one of them has been in favour of sydney. which is of course very frustrating from a Victory POV.
another thing that can't be denied is the sydney centric nature of the FFA. every fan who lives out of sydney recognises it. now is the perfect time to change this perception with a Victorian running the game. what I would like to see is the board of the new independant HAL be based away from Sydney (Melbourne, Canberra or Brisbane will suffice).

By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

Looks like not even the refs and VAR can now get SFC a win. Perhaps some SFC fans can remind us how good SFC were a few seasons ago.
