'Bigger than the Beatles who were bigger than Jesus' award
Winner: Kevin Muscat - The most talked about Australian sports star for the month of January.
Everyone has their opinion on Muscat and most of it is negative but you can't deny the fact that he got the A-League in the papers, radio and news the country over. Even if it was for an ordinary, mis-timed tackle.
Kudos To Kevin for shouting the bar ($1000+) at the Victory's supporters get together at their away trip to Adelaide in the last round. Just like Jesus, Kevin has his disciples and can turn water into beer.
'Ljubo Milicevic award for services to public relations and Ljubo Milicevic'
This was a one horse race with only one nominee, and subsequently one winner.
He's a tough one to pick, Ljubo. Is he laughing with us or at us?
"Hey mum I'm on TV" award
Close race for a while with a few nominees, but in the end we have our first tie. Mitch Nichols is the pro, he knows exactly when the cameras are on him and probably would be a better player if he wasn't glancing at the jumbo-tron to catch a glimpse of himself.
Brett Studman is our other joint winner, the man with the porn star name has the Elvis like hair to match and was caught on at least two occasions fixing said hair after catching a glimpse of the 'Stud-Man' on the stadium screens.
'John McEnroe the ball was out' award
Another tie.
Hiro Moryiasu was taking a sip of beer from the second row of the Cove when he crossed the ball back in to Bruno Cazarine in November for Sydney FC's win over Newcastle at the SFS.
Michale Theoklitos was closer to the sideline than he was the 18 yard box when he took control of the ball with Brisbane down 3-2 to Melbourne in the 92nd minute. History shows that Theoklitos went route one to Matt McKay who scored to make it 3-3.
'New York Yankees pitching roster is full' award
Winner: Melbourne Victory fans
After the controversy of the the Theoklitos incident TFS counted 21 bottles thrown at the linesman by Victory supporters, some from as close as four meters. Not one of them hit the target.
'Could sell ice to the Eskimos' award
Miron Bleiberg.
If only his salesman like rants actually put bums on seats he'd be a marketing genius. Not sure what the stats are but we'd like to bet on the divide being close to 75% Genius, 25% BS.
'Kate Moss award for having nothing up front'
North Queensland Fury.
Chris Payne was good in patches and David Williams is a gun but needed help.
'I haven't seen defending like that since the Ewoks won the battle of Endor' award
North Queensland Fury.
Adelaide 8, North Queensland Fury 1, not much else needs to be said.
'We really should have researched before approving that' award
Joint winners for the same Balls-up.
The FFA and the Central Coast Mariners for producing and approving a plain yellow away kit when the nearest rivals have a plain gold home strip.
'Best misuse of the Marquee spot' award
Ricardinho will clog Melbourne Victory's list for another season. He can't get a game and with the strike force of Kruse, Thompson, Allsopp, Hernandez and Angulo. It looks like their will be a permanent seat for him next to Ernie for that two years
'The most injured Australian Marquee player' award
Take your pick from the following who all struggled to get on the park this season:
Culina, Skoko, Thompson, Sterjovski, Carle, North
'Best banner seen in the terrace' award
Very hard to go past the Brisbane fans who took the 'I'm with stupid' like banner with 'the Beach - QLD's shame' and proceeded to sit next to The Beach until moved along by security. All of Australia was laughing, apart from the 2,067 Gold Coast fans.
