That's a great piece of re-writing of history. hat actually happened was they got stabbed in the back by the manager on national television and a certain player (yes you Tim Cahill) and the clout those two carried at the time did a lot of damage...as did the handwringing over the 'taped interview' that one side said was underhand and the other said was ok'd by Mark Rowan IIRC.
No, what happened was they cancelled a march because of performances picked up, i remember, i had an argument with them
