It's a different comp. Muscat is a sack of poo but it is fair enough. It's the same everywhere else

Fair enough if that's how this game works but is still seems stupid IMHO

Muscat has announced his retirement. He'll finish up after the Asian Champions League.

http://sen.com.au/display-article/Muscat-calls-it-a-day/22305

Why he is a allowed to play in the Asian Championship despite being suspended from the A-League is nothing short of laughable
The way it is in Soccer around the world WP. Stops a player or even a whole side playing dirty in one competition (say a knockout cup comp.) to get through to the next round knowing he/they can serve their punishment in another comp. which they may no chance of winning and be back for the next round of the first competition.

so does that mean a suspension from the world cup only applies to the next world cup?

If so, that flies in the face of that logic MT?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

The A League going from strength to strength I see. Alls well and good in A League New Football Land. Good to see New Football supporters behaving themselves. Well done to you all!

Would be like King being able to serve out his suspension in the NAB Cup instead of the season proper.

In 1999 the Year Man Utd won their treble Paul Scholes received too many yellow cards in the Champions League and hence missed the final of the Champions league whereas he was free to play in the league whereas Dennis Irwin missed the FA Cup Final for receiving a red in a league game against Liverpool but was eligible to play in the Champions League final. Red cards earnt in a domestic competition do not carry over into a continental competition according to FIFA rules.

At least we'll have a club 5 years from now - dont know how many of the existing A League clubs will be around when the millionaire owners get sick and tired of losing millions of dollars every year.

The South will rise Again!
