With all the talk of more $$ needed to fund the development of our great game, pls don’t forget refereeing at the grassroots level is in peril & in desperate need of support as well. Largely unsupported, under trained & often unfairly abused because of it, we need to do better!

@VinceRugari @MMF006 Agree totally, nothing like the send offs of past (think Greece at the MCG in 2006) …could have & should have been bigger in every way…!!

@MMF006 As I'm hoping you'll know, I have nothing against Brisbane. I just reckon last night was a pretty average vibe, the crowd was barely interested at times it felt to me, and the occasion deserved better. It wasn't a jab at the city or its people, just the way I felt about the night

I don’t get this weird jab at Brisbane. What is the ranking of farewell game atmospheres then? From memory most Roos friendlies are fairly pallid affairs. Was last night so different as to warrant a call out?

I love the Socceroos and all that they do, but after seeing that performance tonight and while it was good..I fear they are going to struggle in a few months time, especially with the likes of France up next 🤔?? #AUSvNZ

@DanielGarb So true Daniel! It could have gone either way! If he didn’t save it can you imagine the pile on for both Rednayne and Arnie??? Extraordinary result only made possible by being brave and backing yourself !!! Love it!!!🙌
English
Not sure if any Aussie sporting coach has copped as much ridicule as Graham Arnold has over the last couple years.
The safe call is to keep Ryan in.
If Redmayne doesn’t get near one, Arnie gets battered beyond pale.
It took extraordinary guts to make that call and it worked.

Congrats to Arnie and @Socceroos &the entire @FootballAUS back office and coaching team!@JJ_JamesJohnson
Gutsy GK sub at the end which could have gone either way, but legends aren’t made from making weak arse decisions!!!! Awesome 👍👍👍

@simonhill1894 100% agree. A total cultural reset towards officials at all levels is desperately needed. But unfortunately I don’t think there is the political/leadership will to champion the change that is required ..🤷♂️
English
This is where it starts. That 14yo refs are copping this is an utter disgrace - and it’s the same here in Oz & everywhere. The game doesn’t need VAR, it needs a total cultural reset on officials.
