The G.V.E. - I am a sook thread

Or Central Coast boxing....

as much as gve and kossie are complete dickwads you gotta love their passion

i'd rather see that then the complete snoredum syndrome ernie merrick instills in his interviews and sideline behaviour

Can appreciate passion, but harassing players and officials as they come of the pitch is not on.

If this is allowed to continue it will only take one player to retaliate and it will be on for young and old on sidelines, and may even spill over into the stands and cause violence amongst the spectators. You really want the A-League to degenerate into Cable TV wrestling?

that situation was really handbags at twenty paces

plenty of piss and vinegar but those photos show how gay both gve and trinidad would be in a physical contest

Kossie is a big ninnie.
GVE surprised with some awful unprofessional bahaviour.
But I hate Merrick most.
I agree with Mick. This is entertainment and a passionate game.
When I play Football Manager I've even been known to give a "hell yeah". Merrick must try hard to restrain himself to create some sort of apathetic persona. Why? Why? I really don't understand it.

Hey James, where did you get a pic of me after the NZ game - I actually look abit like GVE in that pic

Yeah, but I'd actually be scared of you........ GVE just looks like a whiny little bitch.

That's you throwing the chair innit??

Ridiculous refereeing.
Coyne sending off - most retarded send off in a-league
Penalty - no way was that a penalty, he chipped it over north and ran straight at him. If that was a corner and similar contact happened nothing would have been done.
Wheelhouse - Should have be sent or at least give 2 yellows for his crap.

Ridiculous refereeing?  What the hell are you complaining about, you got the benefit of the decisions and still couldn't do anything with it!
Open your eyes - North ran towards him after he chipped it, then stepped to the side and dropped his shoulder.  I know you're a thugby league town, but wake up. 
Coyne's was a mistake, but sometimes the angle you view things at are quite deceptive.  I can see how the ref thought he collected Song with his studs - and Song's dirty rotten cheating probably doesn't help.

They are Ze Chermans I think. Who throws a chair, I ask you

I think the penalty should have instead been an indirect free kick. By awarding a penalty, Breeze decided that North had "charged" Trinidad, or else committed "serious foul play".

Personally, I thought it was more like "impedes the progression of an opponent [without charging or similar serious foul play" - it was dubious whether he moved into Trinidad, but I think we can all agree he didn't "charge" him.

Even the MRP agree that Breeze completely stuffed the Coyne send off

Penalty for the simple reason the North dropped his shoulder and turned towards him. He is allowed to stand his ground but dropping the shoulder is a foul = penalty. Dumb play from a dumb player.

Wheelhouse was lucky to be on the pitch at all. Any sensible club would have left him at home. He is crap

I hear what you're saying - but the thing with that is, impeding is a non-contact offence.  FIFA have stated that the moment there's contact, it MUST be a direct free kick - because then it changes from 'impedes the progress of an opponent' to 'charges/pushes/holds an opponent'

Oh, and 'serious foul play' isn't a type of foul - it's a red card offence (ie when a foul uses excessive force and/or endangers the safety of an opponent). 

Just thought I'd clarify

IMO, the coyne send-off is one of those situations where it may be worthwhile for the referee (via FFA) to explain his decision through the media.  I think sometimes it makes a big difference if somebody admits 'yeah, I screwed up.  At the time, it looked like this happened'

[goingtoadisco]

wtf are they doing ?

is it like, well ive got my hands behind my back so you throw the first punch type thing ?

 

[serious14]

They are Ze Chermans I think. Who throws a chair, I ask you

Forgive my grievous error in judgement.  I shall try my best to avoid your throwing weapon of choice (fist, head, piece of concrete).

GVE suspended for 2 matches

Thats good news - no coaches should be allowed to chicken dance on field

 

[tuftman]

Just looking at the photo of him doing the chicken dance makes me laugh, to think the guy has 'control' of a professional football team

Whether it was a foul on Trinidad or merely accidental is beside the point. Trinidad did not dive, the referee made the decision not Trinidad, so GVE should have fronted the ref post game and not the player. GVE wimped it.
