All bets are off
Friday, December 19th, 2008Going into tonight’s game against there was always going to be a selection headache between Grant Brebner and Jose Luis Lopez for Ernie Merrick in the defensive midfield position. However, as fate would have it this little problem has been solved in the short term by the news that Brebner has been suspended for four games (two of which are suspended) for his involvement in a betting scandal that also involved Victory captain Kevin Muscat and the Roar’s Craig Moore.
Brebner, a reformed gambling addict (or so it seems) is also likely to receive further sanction from the club regarding his actions and it would surprise me if he sees game time for the rest of the season. The club also should seriously consider giving Kevin Muscat a reprimand of some sort as well for his involvement as well. Its not good way to go into an all important match against a struggling side. And as you would expect, the Melbourne Victory fans forum is going nuts.
Poor form fellas, poor form
