This is possibly the strangest and most unlikely piece of news that I will have to report this season (unless the Roar sign Diego Maradona) but here goes: Roar manager Frank Farina has lost his drivers’ licence for six months after being caught drink-driving. It’s hard to put a positive spin on this any which way you look at it.
Our manager will now be unable to get to trainings, meetings or anything like that without relying on someone else to drive him there. At least this means if you see Farina on a bus, train or CityCat arguing with ticket collectors you will now know why. However, I wouldn’t recommend asking him for his autograph. Interestingly, Farina was found with a blood-alcohol content of 0.105 – more than twice the legal limit – after only having a light beer and three glasses of white wine.
If this was the case then one thing is for certain; I wouldn’t bet on him in a drinking competition if my life depended on it.
