[dru]

And Sydney go down to Perth to make the weekend that little bit better

 

[FFC Mariner]

Makes next week an absolute must (f**king must) win game for us.

4 points off the top, massive GD and a chance to put some distance between 4th and 5th.

A real 6 pointer.

f**king be there and fire the f**k up

 

[Ben]

[Not Aloi$i FC]

Unbelievable. So not impressed right now ...

 

[Not Aloi$i FC]

Hmmm crowd looks decidedly non-existant even by Jests standards

Wrong. 20,000-odd Novacastrians turned up dressed as blue and red seats.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Unbelievable. So not impressed right now ...

Yes incredible... Just unbelievable. It must have been a dream.
I'm pretty sure Perth weren't on the list of those who could get near you



And neither were we... but now watch us dissemble Perth next week as we begin our home run of games and then do the math

 

[Jerem]

again, brilliant FP
2-0 at ME fortress, they are making some good form
or sydney have hit the newcastle effect either way it sets nextweek up
nicely

 

[FFC Mariner]

MRP from this week. What is the Fold Coast guy supposed to have done?

(Note Musc**t escapes yet again)

Independent Match Review Panel - Round 15
Monday, 23 November 2009
by FFA



The Independent Match Review Panel - consisting of Barry Such (Chair), Simon Micallef and Alan Davidson - convened to consider the following incidents from Round 15:

The incident involving Sebastiaan Van Den Brink (Gold Coast United) in or around the 33rd minute of Gold Coast United's match against Adelaide United on Friday night. As the incident escaped the attention of the referee, the MRP has the authority to consider the incident.

The MRP found that Sebastiaan Van Den Brink had committed an offence, namely "Unsporting conduct toward a match official" - and has proposed the minimum sanction of four (4) matches. The player has until 12.00pm (Queensland time) tomorrow, 24 November 2009, to accept the proposed sanction or refer the matter to a hearing by the FFA Disciplinary Committee.

The MRP reviewed the Red Card issued to Kristian Rees (Gold Coast United) following the Gold Coast United submission of an "Obvious Error (Red Card) Application" seeking to challenge the Red Card issued to Rees in the 33rd minute of the match against Adelaide United.

The MRP upheld the decision, deciding that, in possession of all the facts, no obvious error was made by the referee. As a consequence the MRP determined to impose the mandatory one (1) Match Suspension. This is the minimum sanction for this offence under the Hyundai A-League Disciplinary Regulations.

Red Card issued to Henrique (Brisbane Roar FC): The MRP determined to impose the Mandatory one (1) match suspension for his R4 Red Card for Denying the opposing team a clear goal scoring opportunity; in the 89th minute. This is the minimum sanction for this offence under the Hyundai A-League Disciplinary Regulations

He grabbed/pulled the ref from behind.

 

[mariners4ever]

He grabbed/pulled the ref from behind.

just went to the foxsports clip from the game, neither the video or teh match report says anythign about van den brink doing anything. higgings did grab the refs arm, maybe they meant him?

 

[dibo]

hmm, and thats so different from danny  :

Well, it is. Striking is (and should be) treated much more seriously than holding or pulling. One is violent conduct, the other is contrary conduct.

I suppose you're right. We like to think of Danny's misdemeanour as "just a high five", but it was still a strike. And a strike doesn't have to hurt to still be a strike.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Van Der Brink put a hand on the referee to argue with him.

However, immediately before, the keeper grabbed the referee's arm, much firmer and pulled it down.  Why does he get away with it?

Fkn corrupt bunch of clowns this judiciary is.

Why are these incidents now 'unsporting conduct' and not 'assualt on a match official'??

I'm sure trying to support a new team doesn't have ANYTHING to do with it....

 

[Jerem]

VD brink is a dirty player, i cant stand him, almost as much as musc**t

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Hehe, his name is VD......
