For the first time ever, an Indonesian club has won on Australian soil. A Singapore side coached by ex-Mariners boss Mark Jackson put five past Adelaide. Australian football has hit a new low in Asia. Peacock and Slater work out how it got this bad. Across Asia, governments are pouring money into the game while Australian football can’t speak to Canberra with one voice. Arnie’s after-hours meeting with a senior politician says it all: “We don’t know who you are.” Robbie is ready to march on Parliament House himself. Plus: Tony Popovic’s contract runs out in January, so does he take a four-year deal or walk? Is Mark Milligan really in the frame, or is it Kevin Muscat’s time? Also on the show: John Aloisi’s Devon Loch moment, Man City’s slide, West Ham in the Championship and the day the Chicken Run humbled Robbie, plus Man United’s lap of honour in the relegation zone. And a scoop on another Aussie coach heading to Indonesia. Can Australian football ever get its act together?

The Socceroos and Matildas are suing Football Australia. Families can’t afford to put their kids on the field. And A-League clubs are losing to teams from Singapore and Indonesia in Asia. Adam’s away, so Robbie Slater is joined by Eddy Bosnar: Dinamo Zagreb, Sturm Graz, Shimizu S-Pulse, Korea, China and the Wanderers. Neither of them holds back. Robbie goes after the CBA that hands the national teams 50% of revenue while the game is broke. Eddy says the real problem is softer: load management, cramping players and a system that makes everything too easy. He would know. In Korea, a Saturday loss meant sleeping at the training camp until the next game. Plus the “tracksuit hunters” running youth football, why Australia has never taken to the Asian Champions League, a politician’s blunt verdict on who runs the game, getting Cahill and the legends back, A-League Women, and Robbie’s multi for the weekend.

Hand in your drums. Behave yourselves, and you might get them back. That’s what the RBB were told before Saturday night’s Halloween clash between Macarthur and the Wanderers. Police treated the game like a Sydney Derby, so the Wanderers fans answered with 20 minutes of silence. Peacock and Slater ask why football is still the only sport in Australia that gets policed as a collective. A punch-up at the AFL is a few individuals, but a flare at the A-League means the whole crowd is the problem. Robbie remembers the day he watched police provoke trouble at a Wanderers game, and they’ve got a fix the APL could act on now. Then it’s the stories you only get on Straight Yellow. Jamie Carragher’s run-in with Aston Villa. The night John Kosmina grabbed Robbie by the neck in the tunnel. Clive Palmer giving the half-time team talk at Gold Coast United and threatening to sue Fox over a pie. Plus Richard Peil’s airport gym genius, Man United in freefall, and Robbie’s Melbourne Cup tip.

Australian football is broke, divided and invisible, and Robbie Slater has had enough. No Peacock this week. It’s just Robbie, on his own, with a plan. He says the FA, APL, PFA and the states all need to own their mistakes, get around one table and commit to a Japan-style 15-year plan. And he knows who should be leading it: Tim Cahill. Then there’s the idea that hit him watching the A-League and the Australian Championship on the same weekend. Australia already has a second division sitting right in front of it. Robbie’s road to promotion and relegation goes through promotion-only years first, then an 18-team league with room for Tasmania, Canberra and clubs like South Melbourne. Along the way he takes on A-League licence fees, PFA wages and the Paramount paywall that’s kept football out of pubs and clubs. Plus a SCOOP: Richard Peil, the Anytime Fitness boss who turned the Mariners from wooden spooners into champions, has told Robbie he’ll come back and run the game for two years. For free. Agree? Disagree?

Manchester United are in "complete collapse", and the fans are cheering the one man who's about to lose his job. This week on Straight Yellow, Adam Peacock and Robbie Slater pick through the wreckage at Old Trafford. Gary Neville's raw reaction, Carrick's goodbye wave, Martinez and Bruno having a go, and the big question: who do you bring in now? Conte? Eddie Howe? Plus the racehorse feud that handed the club to the Glazers, and how Bournemouth beat United and AC Milan inside four days. Then Robbie tells the greatest Graham Arnold conspiracy theory of all time. Italian World Cup star Nicola Berti turns up at Northern Spirit, and Arnie becomes convinced it isn't actually him, it's his twin brother. Mikel Arteta's 36-clip dossier proves managers haven't changed. Is the Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia going ahead, and where does that leave Tony Popovic and the Socceroos? The boys also answer your comments on a Tasmanian A-League team, Vidmar's call for 16 clubs, why the APL stays silent, and whether Robbie really drops the F-bomb on this show.

One A-League club is reportedly stopping a young star from going to the U17 World Cup. Robbie Slater says if it's true, it's a disgrace. This week on Straight Yellow, Adam Peacock and Robbie Slater get stuck into a massive weekend of football. Man United fight hard at Elland Road but leave without the three points. Brighton blow Palace away early. And Robbie makes a huge call: Newcastle's new manager will do well to make it to Christmas. Then it's home to round one of the A-League.

Auckland v Melbourne City and the F3 Derby showed what round one should look like.

Plus, previews of Arsenal-Brighton and Newcastle-Hull, some of Robbie's best (and most humiliating) broadcasting stories, a Socceroos squad update ahead of the Brazil friendly, and mailbag questions on how to get into the A-League.
