Moot Point wishes to congratulate Mr Vince Foti who was convincingly elected as President of Club Marconi recently. Mr Foti was already acting in that capacity in recent years, but now has the title in his own right.
Kogarah on Sunday
Jubilee Oval, Kogarah is the place to be this Sunday for all Sydney FC supporters. The last time football was played at the boutique venue was when Sydney Olympic used the ground in the last years of the old National Soccer League.
Congratulations to the Roar
On the subject of the Brisbane Roar, like everyone else this week, it would be remiss of me to neglect their wonderful achievement of 36 games unbeaten which is, of course, a record for any code of football in Australia.
Ange Postecoglou has set a new benchmark for local coaches to follow and it is a record that may not be broken in our lifetime. The record is even more impressive given that in all 36 games there wasn’t a single scoreless draw. The Roar have scored in every game and driven football to new heights in Australia.
Capon for Football?
Edmund Capon may not be an immediately recognisable name in football, so why mention him here? Capon, aged 71, has been in charge of the Art Gallery of NSW since his arrival from London in 1978 and, for a short period a few years ago, was chairman of Sydney FC when they had their revolving door policy towards management.
Capon’s other love is football – he is a Chelsea tragic. A person of such intellect, decorum and great community standing, should somehow be welcomed into the football family now that he has more time on his hands given that he is due to retire from the Art Gallery of NSW at the end of this year.
Capon’s insight, business contacts and general know-how surely cannot be left untapped by football. The Art Gallery of NSW is now one of the great galleries of the world, but prior to Capon’s appointment it was no more than a provincial museum with some works of art. Let’s hope that we can tap into such a person for our game in Australia.
