Sooky Sooky La La

What is with the A-League managers at the moment? It seems a day cannot go by without one of them having a good old fashion whinge about something.

Last week we had the A-league's serial whinger John Kosmina complaining about the current transfer process which has disrupted his team. It seems that Kossie is not happy he has to decide on the future of some of his squad now rather than in two months time when the normal window would have opened. Poor guy I really feel for him.

Then on Friday night Kosmina is back again in the news after showing a complete lack of sportsmanship after his team went down to Wellington. It seems that Kossie thought the late penalty to the Phoenix was a very fortunate decision and decided to let Ricki Herbert in on his personal opinion. Forgetting that the replays show that ref Craig Zetter was 100% correct in his penalty call, it was poor form from Kosmina and the Wellington coaching staff have every right to feel aggrieved.

Of course the Sydney manager has prior form in this sort of behaviour so it comes as no surprise.

On the other hand it seems Gary van Egmond felt left out and decided to also get into the act on Sunday when he accused Perth player Arian Trinidad of taking a dive to gain the late penalty that gifted Perth a draw. Now I hope that Gary is feeling quite embarrassed by his behaviour after reviewing the tape as the vision clearly shows that the penalty was more than deserved and that Mr van Egmond might be better served having words to his soon to be departing captain. Did Trinidad draw the foul, yep and damn good work it was.

Thankfully Frank Farina managed to contain himself this week after another poor home result for the Roar. Maybe he has finally run out of excuses and has finally admitted to himself that its his teams fault they are not scoring.

Maybe the managers might just want to harden the fuck up and look to their own backyards before teeing off at the media, refs, other managers. Maybe then they just might have a chance of affecting some change in their underperforming teams.
