Football Federation Australia has punished yet another A-League manager for speaking out against referees, fining Western Sydney coach Tony Popovic $3000.FFA found Popovic guilty of breaching the bodys National Code of Conduct after he took aim at referee Jarred Gillett over a missed penalty in his sides round-six 3-0 loss to Melbourne Victory.Gillett decided against awarding a penalty to the Wanderers when Jason Geria crudely tackled Jumpei Kasakumi in the box.Replays showed the young fullback missed the ball and fouled the Japanese attacker, an error A-League boss Greg ORourke named on Monday as one of 11 recorded from this seasons opening six rounds.If thats not a penalty, they should book him for diving, Popovic said post-match on Fox Sports.The Wanderers boss also made pointed reference to the clubs record with Gillett in the middle - just one win in 11 games - suggesting maybe its just a coincidence.ORourke reiterated it was vital all players and coaches consider their words carefully when offering their thoughts.Any comments direct or implied that reflect on the integrity of a referee are unacceptable and will be acted upon in line with our code of conduct, ORourke said.Respect towards match officials is not a nice to have, it is a fundamental of our game required at every level.Popovic is the fourth manager to earn FFAs ire for outbursts less than a third of the way through a season making headlines for contentious refereeing decisions.Adelaide coach Guillermo Amor on Monday copped a one-game touchline ban and must now face a tribunal to decide whether his punishment is increased after he was sent to the stands during Fridays 3-1 loss to Glory.Perth coach Kenny Lowe (two-match ban) and Victory coach Kevin Muscat ($5000 fine) have also found themselves in hot water.It comes a day after ORourke mounted a fierce defence of the leagues adjudicators in response to a weekend embroiled in controversy that saw managers relationship with officials reach boiling point.ORourke declared the standard of officiating the best the competition has seen, using FFA statistics showing that up until round six there were 11 errors recorded - an improvement on previous years.He intends to open dialogue with clubs to re-set the expectations of frustrated coaches.Popovic has seven business days to appeal.Howie Long Raiders Jersey .

Hunter Renfrow Womens Jersey . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged.GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Running back Eddie Lacy isnt the only Green Bay Packer who slimmed down in the offseason.While Lacy isnt saying how many pounds he lost in his workouts with fitness expert Tony Horton, a leaner Datone Jones has been forthcoming about his weight loss.Jones said hes shed about 15 pounds since last season in the defensive linemans conversion to playing more at outside linebacker.I dont know what Datone did over the break, but he dropped some more pounds, Winston Moss, the Packers associate head coach/linebackers coach, said this week.Down to 284 pounds, a lighter Jones is hoping to make a greater impact on Green Bays defense after three mostly unproductive seasons since the Packers selected him in the first round of the 2013 draft.His switch to what the Green Bay coaches refer to as an elephant end gives the Packers pass-rush rotation led by Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers another option.So far in training camp, Jones is drawing good reviews in the hybrid role, which has him standing up as a linebacker and also lining up inside on the defensive line.We wanted to look at Datone rushing from the outside, defensive coordinator Dom Capers said about the switch, a move that started the second half of last season.He had been primarily an inside player, an inside rusher, Capers added. We liked his size, his ability to be physical coming off the edge. I thought you saw that show up Friday night.Jones led the Packers with two quarterback hits and had one of their four sacks in the teams first preseason game, a 17-11 win over the Cleveland Browns.He got off to a very good start, had some very good physical plays, had the sack, Capers said.Both Capers and Moss said the 6-foot-4 Jones brings a three-dimensional skillset to the field as a run stopper on the outside, a pass rusher from the outside or inside and being able to drop into pass coverage.Its the NFL, Jones said. Youve got to be able to adjust to the position change quick and be a very quick learner.dddddddddddd.Jones has embraced the full-time change going into this season, saying hes feeling more comfortable with the added responsibilities at linebacker.An abundance of practice reps has eased the adjustment as well with the coaches limiting the work in camp for Matthews and Peppers, whose expertise at the position has been valuable for Jones.Just having Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers, two future Hall of Famers to learn from, that elevates our game even more, Jones said.And the former high draft pick out of UCLA knows whats at stake going into the final year of his rookie contract.Jones has started only three games and has just 8+ sacks, including the playoffs.I know what position Im in, Jones said. Its my contract year. Im not blind to that. I love playing football, and at the end of the day, may the best man win. Im out here competing. I have to go out and show what I can do.Game notesQB Aaron Rodgers isnt sure if he will play Thursday night against the Oakland Raiders.
