Other A-League games 2024/25

[Wee-mac]

Not sure where to post this but I found this radio coverage of the A-League. Might be of interest to some. Personally having a radio coverage suits me, especially if I’m out and about. I’ll be trying it out except for our games, Coast FM is my go to.

Don't normally comment on ref's but Elder was so against Western United even commentators were saying things 🤔

Surely he has to be dropped for the next round.

Never thought i would say this but Duncan did well in goal. One save in particular was World Class.

Am i the only one who still can’t see the contact and thought the ref and VAR were right. It was a horrible air swing and if he was takin out the player would have been having a massive sook instead of realizing he muffed it

Yes you are, it never went to VAR, it was ruled play on.

Must be an optical illusion or i need to new glasses.

Good to know i pass the refereeing tryouts 😂

I am married, being wrong is just part of life

His (AU) leg is pretty straight and the WU player has wiff at it and falls over from a shocking miss. Looks like he was going through back of him but never actually does.

Ah well who cares. Swung the game for sure.

Big Al, there was a comment that the attacker kinda hops or leaves the ground swinging his leg to make his shot but on tv looks like his ‘swing’ of the foot is going to miss the ball completely.

And this is before any contact.

So does the attacker have ‘possession’ when Kitto slides through the back of him.

I believe after a few watches Kitto connects with the back leg of the the attacker after the ball was ‘away from him’.

But none the less the ball was likely near enough that Kitto still did end up bringing him to the ground with no attempt or nowhere getting his foot on the ball so either way the penalty gets awarded.

But I kinda see your point because a few people haven’t noticed the direct contact at the exact moment of the intended shot as the attacker kinda swings for his shot in a weird way, probably knowing he is going to get slid from behind.
