  • Review of 2010/11 – Part 2 – Losing Their Way
    Review of 2010/11 – Part 2 – Losing their way Leeds United’s return to the Championship had seen them exceed expectations, despite heavy defeats at home to Preston and Cardiff and an embarrassing 5-2 reverse at Barnsley. The sheen of beating table-topping QPR on 18 December had been dulled by losing two-goal leads against Leicester and Portsmouth, but as 2011 opened, Leeds were fourth in the table, level on 40 points with Cardiff and Swansea, with Rangers seven points clear of that pack. It was heady stuff after three years in the League One wilderness and supporters were hopeful of a real promotion push in the New Year. Andy O'Brien, pictured celebrating his goal against Hull City on 9 November, made his move to Elland Road permanent on New The positive mood was enhanced by the Year's Day announcement that Irish international centre-back Andy O’Brien, on loan from Bolton since 29 October, would make the move permanent. O’Brien, who represented himself in contract talks, commented: “The meeting with the chairman was something I will remember all my life. It was a bit like when I signed my first contract at Bradford with Geoffrey Richmond – that was entertaining as well. My Dad came in with me initially and he is a big bloke of around 20 stone. The chairman’s first words were, ‘We’ll sign the fat one instead.’ My Dad replied he had been on a diet for six weeks, to which the chairman said, ‘Well that isn't effing working, is it?’ Dad is quite quick-witted and said back, ‘Well I don’t know what your excuse is’.

    DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE OF THE FOOTBALL FEDERATION OF AUSTRALIA DETERMINATION IN THE FOLLOWING MATTER: Player and club Brendon Santalab of Western Sydney Wanderers FC Alleged offence Use of discriminatory language and/or gestures, including racist, religious, ethnic or sexist (R6) Date of alleged offence 8 March 2014 Occasion of alleged offence Match between Western Sydney Wanderers and Sydney FC Date of Disciplinary Notice 19 March 2014 Basis the matter is before A referral: see clause 3.3(a) and 9.42(b) the Disciplinary Committee Date of Hearing Monday 24 March 2014; Thursday 3 April 2014 Date of Determination 10 April 2014 Disciplinary Committee John Marshall SC, Chair Members Lachlan Gyles SC Dominic Longo (former player) A. INTRODUCTION 1. This matter concerns an incident which occurred between Brendon Santalab (the Player) and Ali Abbas (the Complainant) during the Sydney derby which took place at Allianz Stadium on 8 March 2014. 2. A complaint was lodged with the FFA on 10 March 2014 regarding an alleged racist comment by the Player. This Committee was constituted to deal with the complaint and to determine whether an offence had been committed by the Player, as alleged. 3. The Committee dealt with the complaint over two lengthy hearings, and reserved its decision. It is intended that these reasons shall be made public, and hence the specifics of the charge are not disclosed to avoid potential prejudice or harm to those involved. While this may make the reasons more difficult to follow, we believe that it remains in the public interest to expose our reasoning, to the extent possible, to avoid speculation about that.
