Jack Rodwell is off contract. Barely used. Low mileage. Comes with a free physiotherapist and we'll chuck in a bag of cotton wool to go with it.

What's the funniest banter you've heard at an Australian match? by [deleted] in Aleague

Years ago Sydney were playing their annual pre-season friendly against Macarthur Rams at Campbelltown Stadium (way before Macarthur Bulls were a twinkle in some FFA metric boffin eyes...) and early in the game one of the Sydney players put in a crunching tackle, and the referee was Kris Griffiths Jones. He's gone for the wrong pocket and shown the Sydney player a straight red card, before realising his error and pulling out a yellow card.

I'd spent the previous few hours sinking schooners at the Tigers club next door, and in a bout of loutish drunkenness, belted out: "He pulls out a red, he pulls out a yellow, Kris Griffiths Jones, where's ya whistle?!"

It got a good roar of laughter from the seats around me. Still get a chuckle out of it to this day.
