Anything but United

GOLD Coast United’s bungled entrance in to soccer’s NPL is another cross for those organising the code in this state.

Given locations like Cairns hold similar gripes over Football Queensland it’s fair to assume many are not happy with the entire system.

In case you missed it, United was the hybrid creation of two yet-to-beexistent clubs, in turn providing a rebirth to another club that was dead and buried.

As if getting your head around that wasn’t enough, rivals Gold Coast City then chimed in to question the whole process. As someone recently pointed out, organisation of football at times makes cricket’s pay war look neat and simple.
