So you put young lads into Phnom Penh (and I'm guessing here, don't supervise them properly), one of the flesh pots of Asia, and don't expect them to be tempted? Who hasn't been there and done that? - Singapore, Saigon and Hong Kong in the old days, Shanghai, Bangkok, Chiang Mai...

Bob Latchford Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 At the time they'd have all been on A-League minimum wage which is a touch over $60k. Asia is the only place they could actually live like the pro-footballers they are and they had a night out. Headline should read "Males in early twenties have a few beers in Asia". 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewConvert Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 18 hours ago, jw1739 said: Typical ABC "investigative journalism." Then the ABC itself moans like hell when it's investigated itself. Actually there was an anonymous complaint which the FFA had to investigate and that was public information. What was not public was what the complaint was about and who it involved so the ABC issued a FOI. This could mean two things: that no other news outlet looks at the FFA or that they couldn't be arsed following it up. What remains a mystery is the complainant and their motivation.

mus-28 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Cultural issues.......I don't think there's any better form of team bonding than what allegedly went on. Unless they were broadcasting a gangbang live on Facebook while wearing their playing kit I can't see how it should be worthy of a lengthy ban. It's typical of Australian sporting bodies to come down excessively on our own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that "breaching squad rules" would have been sufficient explanation. As it is, the audience is left speculating about what disrespectful relationship was the subject of a complaint by a woman. Seems an unnecessary stain on the characters of four young footballers.

We all make mistakes from time to time. I just don't like people being quite severely punished for something when only just enough information on the offence is published so that speculation on what actually happened continues. For me, "breaching squad rules" is quite enough explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mus-28 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Didn't leave the hotel. Didn't break curfew. Woman came to hotel by her choice. Woman had consentual sex. Complaint was withdrawn. FFA just trying to avoid the feminists latching onto this and making it into something that it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
