In an embarassing gaffe, Perth Glory captain Jacob Burns was awarded the Joe Marston Medal for the A-League grand final’s best player after it was mistakenly awarded to Brisbane Roar playmaker Thomas Broich.

The A League is just going from strength to strength.

This incident just tops off a debacle of a season where we saw Gold Coast FC stripped of their license due to the outspoken nature of their owner, the Newcastle Jets handing back their license because of not being able to reach decent terms with the FFA, the Central Coast Mariners not making the Grand Final because of bad refereeing (the ref admitted after the game that he got it wrong), the Brisbane Roar winning the Grand Final on the back of a wrongly called penalty….and then something as simple as tallying votes correctly get’s all screwed up.

You’ve gotta feel for the Glory here.
