Hey guys, don't have the time at the moment to read the last few pages, but I was wondering if your club has done anything about the unruly fans at last Friday night's game?

Nope. Not that i've heard, and that's expected. Like i said previously, the club turns a blind eye to anything the Red Army does.

I'm surprised the media haven't really caught on to the fights, tbh. They've made a few minor mentions of them but not really brought it into the spotlight. Especially as the fight in the south end looked pretty crazy.

Probably coz it was just a fight between a coupla blokes filled with booze etc like happens at any event

What the media latch onto is when its pack mentality and mob type scenes and taking over streets. Those images are far easier to reproduce to shock the middle classes with

Today's 'tiser says that Rini never turned up for training with the Baby Reds yesterday, but does not offer a reason and also says that he is expected to offer his version of events in the coming days. Hope this doesn't go pear shaped [-o<

Are they just trying to save cash, hoping he'll resign?

Sounds like he'll be back with his lawyer in tow. Is there a managers assosciation in Australia ?

With hindsight should have let Rini's original contract run it's course and then reviewed, rather than jumping so hard.

Firstly, if any of you missed the begining of tonight's The World Game, make sure you watch the replay at 11:30pm tonight. Greg Griffin is interviewed on there at length. He is asked ALL the tough questions you can imagine. He held his ground exceptionally well, even when fuck knuckle Fos was sniffing for blood.

I couldn't give a f**k what people say about Griffin in business, "he's a shark", "he's tough" etc... what i see is someone who is the perfect spokesman for AUFC and for soccer in general and he is absolutely brilliant at facing the flesh-eating media. It's very tough doing what he does.

Now contrast that with Aurelio "the pressure is on Victory to win 10 games in a row" Vidmar!

Secondly, thanks RedTillDead for that detailed run down of the meeting tonight. Appreciate it.

I'm entering ranting territory but i cannot help myself...

on these points:

- Rini was very, very sensative to what Val was indicating. Asked Glen to come out and officially state that he supported Rini. Glen refused becuase of what saying such things meant i.e. the dreaded vote of confidence. Rini didn't get that

- Discovered a key reason behind the Members committee, constituion etc Club, because they are privately owned, cannot compete for sports development grants. Having a community based organisation means they can seek government money to run development programs etc. Clever

- Seemingly non-existent relationship between FFSA and the Reds and a distant relationship with the clubs. Gave some ripper examples of problems i.e. He invited 10 local club preidents to all expenses paid night in the Reds room for the last match. 2 bothered to get back to him, 1 was from Port Pirie!!

- Glen very apssionate about develolment of the game in indigenous community. Great to hear

what can i say, these owners are switched on. Look at those initiatives. Watch Griffin on TWG tonight. He talks so brutally honestly about the financial model of the A-league and that it needs to change. Switched on. The fact that there was a meeting tonight with MEMBERS proves this even further.

The situation they were thrown in with Coolen was extremely difficult. It took balls to make their decision. they've done it now and kudos to them for doing SOMETHING. The comments above prove once and for all that tweets and comments on here, TV, newspaper and facebook that say things like "new owners are clueless" are fkng retarded and come from intellectually-stunted, moronic half-wits.

fk off the lot of them.
