[edit] Infobox question

I've noticed this in at least one other Adelaide United related infobox, is there any particular reason why the NSL era Adelaide United stats are separated from the A League era ones? It's the same team, i don't see why it's necessary to distinguish. Blackmissionary 10:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] sacked/resigned

please, if you are going to write a wikipedia article about kosmina, at least write the truth about what happened. Kosmina was sacked,

[edit] This is a very bad article

I'm not a soccer person, but this article references this living person in a potentially bad way, it also uses words that may make no sense to others (e.g. "spray") and contains unreferenced and biased material. Since this is about a living person, normally it needs to be instantly removed, but I don't have the time or the knowledge to tidy this up (other than delete the entire article!). Some of it needs to be done urgently. I have placed the appropriate templates at the top and so experienced Wiki editors should descend in droves and fix it. Jim77742 02:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to this article, 10/08/2007

Firstly as a disclaimer, i am not a fan of the man. Secondly, if people want to vent their frustration/anger/hate at Kosmina or the treatment of him by the media or United, whatever, get yourself a texta and find yourself a public toilet and knock yourself out. Otherwise, let's just try to write a half decent, factual article, as one would for any article on here. Now for the details of my edit.

• Corrected details and cleaned the article up
• More emphasis on his playing career
• Removed the "Controversies" section. This stuff should have been put in its place as a part of his coaching stints, and having a section that was bigger than the rest of it was silly. Now it has some semblance of context.
• Removed a few of the tags, hopefully some of the sources will be added soon. Hopefully i can get around to adding sources if no one else does. Blackmissionary 06:37, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
