That bastard ballboy is lucky this cup final was in Sydney. He'd be lucky to make it out of the grounds in most of Europe and South America. 

haha Simon. go back to CCM ya dopey fuck

I'd love this thread in an alternative universe where all you heroes are fathers

Is that the ballboy that Zullo gave his medal to?

aw. yeah why I seriously suggested , sydfc have serious word to his parents. Parents can punish him and doesn't regret his entire life.
No doubt his P's will smash him anyway

Well, on the plus side it’s more sh*t to hang on SFC, not that they’ll care tonight ... but you wait, in 10 years time the rest of us will still be making “cheating ball boy” quips 😂

I think so.

Annoying thing is, he'll go to school tomorrow and be the fukn messiah of the playground. 

f dont have good P's ultimatum . do it again, and you won't be a 'ballboy?' hmm. maybe need to explain there jobs a bit better before they do it. written list of things can't do

Hahhahaha fair play

But, even when the time comes, I'd be pretty embarrassed. Thats a pretty stupid thing to do.

"yeah and then, like, i totally smashed him back"

"no way!"

"yes way!"

Field day for David Squires.

I'm a father and the kid did something foolish. Doesn't absolve the adult Marrone of his duty of care but the kid needs to be told what he's done is not on, not given a medal.

If Matt Simon doesn't charge in there like, well, like he does every second he's on the pitch, it doesn't all kick off and does Marrone still get a red?

If Squires finds a way to work the sauce bottle in I think it will finish me off

Kid played his part and was welcomed to the podium to accept the trophy for his role in the win. Comical.

jesus that was a fun match to watch.  Who says the FFA cup isn't a big deal?

Exactly, Marrone should not have knocked him over but it does not mean the ball boy was doing the right thing. He was there to give players the ball and he failed to do it.

I'd like to not think so, but considering KGJ...

Are you serious? I turned it straight off after the melee, couldn't handle the cringe. sounds as though it just got 100 times worse

Oh c'mon man let's not get carried away here. 
Kids gonna be a school yard hero and if I was a dad in this scenario I'd be telling my son to pull his head in while also being proud of him for being a little shit if I was also a Sydney fan.

I hate that this is going to get blown out of proportion. Take Matt Simon out of this situation and it's very very very different. 

Im certain it was the little - oops, I just ate my own poop... on the podium

the hilarious thing is taking brosque off partly cos he's getting a bit old but mainly because he's on a yellow and getting close to another, then replacing him with the walking yellow card that is matt simon. well done kurz though his close up man to man with simon calmed him down must have said some soothing things

Just calling it the way I saw it. I'm not making anything more than it just being "shit we didn't need" in a showpiece final

Let this be a lesson to all, gamesmanship gets you medals.

Ball kid to score winner for Australia at the 2030 world cup.

An Adelaide player tries to murder a ten year old and Sydney are accused of gamesmanship.

Sydney take part in the most entertaining FFA cup so far, yet "DA SYDNI ARE DA DA BORINGEST" 

You salty, salty losers...

Murder hahahahahahahaha

I thought Kurz was going to choke Mat Simon during that ball kid moment! 

Anyway, he's a kid leave him alone, give the kid a jersey and deserved apology from Marrone and move on.

He reminded me of the ball kid in Panama where he smashed the ball out of the stadium in their WCQ match lol
