Is there an unwritten rule in journalism that when writing about Ali Abbas, you have to use the most emotive language possible to describe his injury from the derby? 

They're still going on about it...

after they tried to end his contract at the end of the season, giving him a three month pay-out, when his deal still had a season to run.

He should have taken the money and run. What an idiot. Why would you stay? End of the season, choice between stay & don't play at all, or 3 months free money & get a new club.

That injury happened nearly 3 years ago and they are still milking it for sympathy because he's a smurf. I don't see any articles about the other dozen players that have suffered ACL injuries in the A-League.

The crowd average is only about 300 better on what was a dismal figure of 6224 last year. I can't help but think with their awful squad and the VAR that current 6500 average will slide down again.

Wellington's first season they had a 11,683 crowd average (without any finals matches) and kept around that with finals matches in 2009/10. They've lost nearly half their average since then.
