Round 15

[RADINHO]

0-0 after 35mins.

Kristian Rees got a red card after a poor decision from the ref and cassio was useless with a free kick on the edge of the box.

 

[RADINHO]

0-0 half time GCU Centreback Zac Anderson brought down Leckie who was last man, Ref only gave yellow when he deserved red another poor decision. Adelaide dominating, Leckie been the best player on the park, Sarkies been pretty good too. GCU are quiet though.

 

[BAD BULLZ]

correction gcu are shite all they've got is last man snipers taking out the only radalaide player who isn't firing blanks.

0-0 after 35mins.

Kristian Rees got a red card after a poor decision from the ref and cassio was useless with a free kick on the edge of the box.

Only saw one replay, but I thought he clipped his foot as he swung for the ball.

EDIT: Saw another one, yeah, I reckon the ref got that dead wrong.  Looks like the Adelaide player stepped on the ball and fell over from that, don't even think he was touched by the defender.  Once the ref gave the foul he had no choice but to reach for the red, but I don't think the foul should've been given.

2nd one was a bit more interesting if the other defender had been a step or two closer I'd agree with a yellow (as he would be within sliding distance) - as it was, the Adelaide player had accelerated past that player.  Should've been a red.
Not too bad a game, considering the weather.  Adelaide had a few good opportunities from midfield but it fell apart with poor passes to the front

 

[RADINHO]

1-0 Caravella absolutly destroyed Sarkies with some sweet skill and crossed it to Fitzsimons who headed it in.

 

[Part_Timer]

adle fans banner "panic button push it" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[RADINHO]

Leckie was fantastic for the whole game and got a goal in the end. 1-1 FT

 

[FFC Mariner]

Dreadful game, Adelaide were awful and Fold Coast proved if you get into them, they dont want it.

Both red cards IMHO. 1st was a touch soft but the away team often gets those sorts of decisions but he clearly pulled his arm back. 2nd was a clear shirt pull.

Higgins might consider himself lucky as well for handling the ref then booting the ball away.

Viddie stays in his job for another week

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Thought Adelaide were decent, except for the final third again.

We are better than both these teams. Much more rounded and much better depth.

1-0 Half Time Melbourne lead Brisbane

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

I think Williams has been taking tips from Mark Shield on how to 'control' Kevin Muscat.

2 fouls, 2 instances of blatant abuse and visual dissent, all in the space of a few minutes without so much as a word.

That whiny thug is getting back to his old ways...

 

[FFC Mariner]

Anyone other than Musc**t would have gone after his performance tonight.

Roar were doing a v good impression of Adelaide and the red card was so funny - what a drop kick

 

[Deej]

Call of the night on Fox = Thierry Henrique lol

I seem to recall another 'keeper who laid hands on the ref & got 9 months. Ah, but of course he was a Mariner and this one is with the new bling. 'Nuff said.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

I remember an old blinger (Milliby) who laid hands on the ref and got away with it.

A number of players in the HAL have tried to grab a referee's arm to stop him raising a card or pull him around to get his attention.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Damn, draw would have been nice table wise and thought the Roar deserved one.

Again, we are better than both theses teams, though Henrique and Oar are a real handful.

 

[cruiser]

I hate frakking Melbourne. They're a team of filthy can'ts who get outrageous protection from the refs. Muscan't is the dirtiest cheat in the A-League and what he's able to get away with deserves a FIFA investigation. There was no way that Brisbanes goal should have been disallowed. The Melb keeper's acting display (hands to his face) was more blatant cheating by a side that knows how to work the refs in their favour. Muscan'ts performance at the after match press conference further highlighted what a first class A-hole he is.

Muscat does seem to get preferential treatment from refs. It seems that elbows to the head, screaming hissy fits, etc are all acceptable when he is involved, but a yellow or red for others.

The Tards will never replace the Bogan Scum Jets as my most hated team, but they are certainly in the top half of my table.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Hey, not even I'm going to dispute Muscat getting preferential treatment.  He gets away with blue murder, abuses referees - in V1 he even threatened an AR and nobody cared.

But remember, we also have the MRP who can do something about this, but choose not to.

What did he do in the press conference?

 

[Jerem]

just a thought, can we grab tiatto as i sub in penalty taking pinch hitter?
he has a lethal peg 8)

on other things was that ref blind? Langerak you cheat
