I don't really care that the quality is better if I don't care about any of the teams. It's the same thing with the Bundesliga, the Serie A and the NFL.
The question is whether the publication took reasonable steps to determine the accuracy and fairness of the information in the article. In the absence of any significant doubts about the veracity of the FFA dossier, the publication was entitled to report its findings, and accordingly the Council concludes it took reasonable steps.
Given the 10 year ban imposed on the complainant, a penalty normally reserved for serious anti-social behaviour, the same logic can be applied to the publication’s use of the terms “louts” and “shame file”. Accordingly, the Council does not uphold the complaint in relation to General Principles 1 and 3. In light of these conclusions and the publication’s offer of a right of reply, the Council also considers there was no breach of General Principles 2 and 4.

Scott Jamieson talking with his feet and leaving the Wanderers set up for a season or two in Gothenburg.

After Scott Jamieson's recent departure, the Wanderers are now shopping around their most capped player, captain and foundation player Nikolai Topor-Stanley!
It would be like the Eels getting rid of Mannah early, in the off-season.... But no overseas clubs are buying NTS, so it looks like WSW will just end up giving a free kick to another A-League club...
#deckchairsonthetitanic
A-League fan whinging about those 10 year bans being published by the Telegraph lose their Press Council complaint...

Poor little soccer hooligans! Hope the RBB have another protest... lol.
lol GWS.
They won 16 from 22. Good result I thought. No ? Minor Premier (Swans) won 17.
Good for you, and as you said, each to their own...For someone who despises A League and Wanderers so much - you seem to keep a pretty close watch on what is going on. If I don't like something I generally couldn't give a toss about it and avoid it but each to their own.
Why wouldn't they?
The AFL are pumping 20 million into the club a season.
Giving them all the best draft picks year after year.
Free tickets galore out west mate. Unbelievable how many they give away, and how few people use them.
They falsify crowd figures. That's f**king obvious. Half their members are from Canberra. Western Sydney? lol.
They conned millions out of the state govt and local council to build their training camp out at Blacktown, and within two seasons they had abandoned that and hijacked the golf driving range at Homebush Bay, with even more govt funding to set that up. The imports from other states didn't connect with the "real" west. All the white boys couldn't cope with the multi cultural diversity of Sydney's west. That's why they move them all into Breakfast Point.
They also conned the govt to pump $50 million into Spotless, a stadium they can't even fill during a successful season.
Not to mention the local council grounds they have taken over in the west, at the expense of Rugby League and football.
Let's not mention the culture. It's Straya's game mate. No racism. No misogyny. Even this latest episode with that Whitfield kid from GWS (or whatever his name is) avoiding being drug tested has massive cover ups going on so just not to hurt the upcoming derby. They are blaming the ex girlfriend who raised the issue at the time over 12 months ago because she was worried about his welfare. Reported today that he is coping ok under the duress. f**king hahaha.
The game is an embarrassment to this country, and very, very few people in the West could give two shits about them.
Rant over.
The salary cap, known officially as Total Player Payments, is A$10,600,000 for the 2016 season with a salary floor of $10,070,000 except for Greater Western Sydney, whose salary cap is $10,886,000 with a floor of $10,336,000.
