However the fact that Marrone did the wrong thing doesn't mean that the kid is in the clear.

The kid should not be glorified in any way let alone given a medal. How is it fair that this one kid who does the wrong thing (and knew what he was doing) gets a medal, while the other 999 ballboys in the A-League/FFA Cup this season, who actually do their job, don't get a medal? Disgraceful that blatant cheating is rewarded. Would be outraged if United gave a kid a medal in circumstances such as these.


Agree with all of that.
And...why is no one condemning Simon's actions? He launched at Marrone, stomped over the kid and precipitated a melee around him where anything could have happened. If we're worried about the kid, his actions should also be in question.

Because he plays for the FFA’s darling team...

Marrone got 2 games plus 2 games suspended for the rest of the season.
Pretty well spot on IMHO.

1 game already served last Sunday night
So many more issues in this situation that should have been addressed by FFA.

Simon's involvement should have been under question, most definitely.
