The 'I love Matthew Breeze' thread (only valid this week)...

[LFCMariners]

That's right, the man in the middle who (until recently) was seen as the kiss of death to A-League fans (with the exception of the bogans) has done quite a bit this past month.

Firstly, he put on one of the best refereeing performances seen in the A-League during his handling of the F3 derby against the Scum. For virtually the whole match he went unnoticed, something which (at the time) had us all looking into the sky for a Blue Moon and flying pigs.

Secondly, he managed to piss off Gary Von Egmond in the Scum- Perth match, to the point that GVE had his sideline hissy fit, seemingly forgetting the free ride which Mr Breeze has given his team on SO many previous occasions. Again, if it weren't for Matthew Breeze, we would not have been given the opportunity to see GVE make such an arse of himself and subsequently do time in the stands.

And, at last, was yesterday's holy grail. That moment we thought would never come from ANY A-League referee, never mind the man who we all thought for so long wore a Scum jersey under his ref's shirt. That's right- it was the moment when Joel "Sack whacker" Griffiths showed his usual match "gamesmanship" and subsequently saw something he should have seen a long, long time ago......

So for this week, let's all give a shout-out to the man in the middle, one Mr Matthew (insert middle name) Breeze, for his fine work this past month. We might as well enjoy it while we can, because it's more than likely he will bugger something up for someone (quite possibly us) when the A-League finals come around and then we will all have to go back to the loathing we had stored up for him from 2005 until earlier this year!  irate:

But one month of relatively good decisions isn't going to even dint years of hatred.

 

[Gen (MarinerMum)]

Finally a coach who knows how to get Joel off the pitch.  annoy him enough and he will retaliate that is his nature.  So why aren't more of us doing just that when we play the scum.

Joel showed his true colours. 

1.  Not a team player he has the I syndrome
2.  So volatile that you simply have to piss him off and he will want to kick you (such a girl)
3.  Found out that he doesn't walk on water.

Good riddens, poor role model and poor choice of a markey (monkey) player.

I really enjoyed watching Breeze ref yesterday - a MOTM performance for mine.... seeing sack whack given his marching orders was classic and milligan too...

Missed it, devastated! Whens the replay on Fox?

 

[BrisRecky]

it only proves the old adage...even a pet dog will bite you eventually......HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....lets give a big round of applause to "Stale" for his hatchet job on the scum....but he still couldnt ref a crab race !! 

 

[ponno]

should be replay on today i reckon.... worthwhile viewing...

Sackwhack obviously cant handle pressure. He whines like a girl that he isnt captain and then does something like that (again). Fair enough that Dodd should have gone too though but hopefully the FFA will sent this odious little turd a message that his antics are not welcome.

6 weeks hopefully and then the curse of the scum marquee will have struck again lol

Milligan needs a few extra weeks for being so dumb. He left the ground and went in 2 footed. Thats dangerous play and a straight red. Whether he connected or got the ball is irrelevant (waits for a ref to come and help with the actual ruling).

Breeze did f**k up by not sending Dodd from the field and not taking action as he single handedly spent the rest of the game trying to put Elrich (the better one) in a wheelchair.

Arguably could have sent off the other Griffiths for his assault on the keeper but chose a yellow and a good telling off.

 

[Redline]

I saw the replays of the two reds on THe World Game.

Both deserved to be reds and it just shows how bad Joel Griffiths is as a player, a sportswoman, and a role model that he can't hand the pressure and has to lash out like that, when he whines and wonders why he's not captain, but is still being signed as a marquee player....which is ridiculous. He's not worth being a marquee player.

I really think he must have a hugely destabilising affect on the jets.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Wasnt it rumoured that he and Zura "didnt get on"?

Whiny,pathetic little girl who should be flogged in public.

No doubt about it. Jumping in the air at a keeper, making no attempt to play the ball, and kneeing him in mid flight. Another red I say

 

[T]

a sportswoman,

Please do not compare Sackwhacker to Sportswomen...... is not even a close comparrison

 

[dbryant]

Tarek Elrich should also have gone for his challenge on the 'keeper just after the penalty - sliding two-footed into his chest, just missed his head. Not on...very dangerous play.

Imagine 11 v 8

agreed, the golden boot winner, johnny warren medalist and key figure in newcastle's side is not worth being a marquee player

No he's not. Look at his disciplinary records.

Golden Boot Winner is fair..he scored the most goals good on him. I think everyone but Newcastle supporters can admit he should have gotten some sort of major suspension for his sackwhacking offence,

His winning the JWM is disgraceful and puts the award to shame IMO. How he could possibly have been considered for the award is beyond me. He has a bad attitude on the field, and off, has a bad temper and is easily riled up and lashes out, as evidenced against the Nix. He is not in the same league as previous winners.

JG and Muscat are two of a kind. The difference is that Muscat isn't a whiny little b*tch.

Disgraces the lot of you. Breeze is a f**kwit and will always be a f**kwit

So are you saying that last season he wasnt a clear standout?? If so i think you are being extremely biased and did not watch enough games last year wearing nuetral coloured glasses.

p.s how often do you hang out with him to know he has a bad attitude off the field?
