For the first time in A-Leagues history, play is halted to allow practising Muslim players and officials observing Ramadan to break their fast. During the holy period of Ramadan, practising Muslims abstain from eating and drinking between dawn and sunset.

Next week at 4pm during a game can all the players halt the game and have a drink to observe the Australian tradition of happy hour?

Also known as... "Skipping lunch"

This is absurd

Did they kick all women out of the stadium also as part of the wonderful religion ?

I've got $100 that says all 3 of these players refuse to wear their clubs pride jersey next week.

Fucking ridiculous. This is for the same group of people who show their intolerance towards other groups, refusing to participate in lbgt initiatives, and treating women like second class citizens, but the western world keeps bending over backwards for them.

You love to see it

9000 at south melb vs Preston, 1000 for this game

Ramadan break one week rainbow the next 😂

You gave got to be kidding me!! The A-League is becoming a joke!
