A-League coaches cop a 'please explain'

A-League coaches Frank Farina and John Kosmina have been asked to explain their
weekend outbursts but no disciplinary action has yet been taken against the pair, an
FFA spokesman said.
Sydney FC boss Kosmina was livid at what he said was time wasting by Perth as the
Glory hung on for a 2-1 win.
He was also angry about the late send-off of his defender Ian Fyfe for what was
little more than a tap on the head of Perth's Adrian Trinidad.
"I know street-smarts but there's a difference between street-smart and just being
soft and cheap," Kosmina said.
"It's still a man's game.
Roar coach Farina launched a scathing attack on the officials after a controversial
1-0 loss to Adelaide United last Friday.
The former Socceroos mentor was furious that Adelaide's sole goal, finished by
Robert Cornthwaite, was set up by Brazilian striker Cristiano in an offside
position.
"It was an atrocious decision which cost us the game," Farina said at the time.
Meanwhile, Melbourne Victory striker Archie Thompson will serve a two-match
suspension for swearing at referee Matthew Breeze during his side's 1-0 loss to
Newcastle.
The independent Match Review Panel has decided to add one week to the mandatory week
Thompson had to serve for being sent off.
The panel also considered and dismissed Sydney FC's appeal against the red card
given to Fyfe.
He was found guilty of "assault of a player (violent conduct)" and given the minimum
punishment of two matches -- the mandatory one-match suspension plus an additional
one match.
