In more dramatic fall-out from Sunday's controversial 2-2 draw, Sage said Glory would not be challenging the two-week suspension handed out to Baird after FFA's Match Review Panel found him guilty of simulation in the penalty area.

Baird went down under a minimal challenge from Heart youngster Kliment Taseski during injury time of last Sunday's game.

Referee Kurt Ams instantly pointed to the spot, allowing Robbie Fowler to score a penalty to equalise the game at 2-2.

Following the round, both Baird and Central Coast Mariner Patricio Perez were given two-week suspensions, but the FFA's actions have been called into question because neither player had any avenue to appeal the penalty.

Both Glory and Mariners have opted not to take legal action to clear their players after being promised by FFA chief executive Ben Buckley that the rules governing the lack of an appeal process would be reviewed before the end of the season.

However Sage said Baird was still disappointed by Colosimo's post-match comments where he accused Baird of 'blatant simulation'.

"He (Baird) obviously seeks an apology from a player that called him a cheat after the game and I hope those two players can resolve the issue," Sage said on Wednesday.

"If he (Baird) wants to take something on a personal level, not a club level, he's more than happy to do so. That's up to Michael (what he does), he's the one that was defamed.

"We will support him in any decision he makes but he is that type of character, he just wants to get on and play.

"He is of the old school, what's left on the pitch is done on the pitch, so if he gets an apology, he'll drop things."

Sage said he hoped the matter would be settled without going to court.

Ironically, the PFA - the players' union for Australian footballers, led by Colosimo as PFA President since 2004 - might normally be expected to assist Baird clear his name.

Sage added: "If he's (Colosimo) a captain of another club, especially, you'd think that you'd want diplomacy to take over everything else and I would expect it (an apology) to come."

However, Melbourne Heart chief executive Scott Munn said he wasn't expecting Colosimo to apologise to Baird.

"Simon said it was blatant simulation and the outcome was that he's subsequently been suspended," Munn said. "I think nothing more needs to be said. He didn't refer to Baird as a cheat.

"He referred to it (the penalty) in the right terminology so I have the utmost respect for Simon as our captain and I know he leads us in a proper way at all times.

"I'm very comfortable with what Simon said and the FFA have vindicated that.

"At the end of the end of the day, he is not bringing into question anything that the player did, not questioning the integrity of the person, he was just saying what happened and I think that was appropriate."
