Can't wait to see MV revert to type or implode, I bet this will be their best performance this season. Can't wait til they come up to Suncorp though, it'll be an absolute cracker.

It's an emotional rollercoaster being a victory fan, last season the thread for the ACL loss against Guangzhou is perfect in that regard. It's a feeling halfway between an orgasm and a pantshit fart

I didn't see anything that could have been called a penalty for the roar but there were quite a few things the ref decided to ignore around the edge of the box that locked pretty obvious to me

Maybe there's been a secret directive down from FIFA that lately there's been too goddamn many penalties lately - wanderers had a good case ignored in the first half only to immediately concede a handball in the box.

Problem is FIFA. What you suggest there could only work with a formal video review like the other codes, and that's a total anathema to FIFA. The FFA would love to have a proper review system and to try things like you suggest, but FIFA won't allow squat.

If a player Muscatted someone and put a player out for six months, and the ref gave a yellow card, that's all that can happen. No further sanction as the ref "dealt with it".

If the Ref gives a red then a further penalty can be applied, if the Ref missed it, it may be dealt with after as well. Nobody knows for sure what would happen if the Ref saw it and waived play on.

It's all about "Protecting the integrity of the referee". Which is a horseshit excuse from FIFA.

There was a heap of discussion about this during the world cup - to someone outside of the game the apparent unimpeachable nature of the referee is indefensible, and there's good reasons for and against fiddling around with the laws. I for one don't want any kind of in-game video system without serious restrictions because look at how the last year of the afl went - the umpires are terrified of making making mistakes and it takes too long. God help us if the players are ever given the power to request an in-game review.


That said, I think the "ref dealt with it onfield, move on citizen" is backwards as gently caress. No reason at all why reportable offences can't be reexamined and potentially adjusted after the games

Triple post but who the gently caress cares, I've caught up on the rounds matches and I've compiled my thoughts in chronological order:

1. gently caress me Dugandjzic must have been a storm trooper in a past life, I can't remember many strikers who consistently fail to score in front of goal. He lays off alright, but he's a butcher in front of the net.

2. Gameiro's goal was loving mint.

3. I have zero thoughts about the Nix/Glory game except to lament the loss of Nichols.

4. Adelaide got robbed of a penalty that looked a lot more blatant than Henrique's at the death.

5. Djite is a loving beast.

6. That entire match was ace, but the best bit was McKay cracking the shits and tantying out

I've only watched the highlights but I can't say I miss having Dugandzic or Nichols, they're both average players with a terrible touch and enough quality to occasionally look better than they are. Gamiero is a proper good player though, and he's still only young. If he can keep up his for I can see him playing for Australia in the near future.

This is wisdom. I was actually about to look him up to see if he was eligible. I like Petratos as well, but I don't know if that's because I think his name sounds like a transformer sneezing

Ta, Sune. That might just be the ticket for me if this stream business doesn't pan out right.

This should be pretty good, Palm Beach are probably one of the better NPL teams getting around - I'd actually rate then higher a lot of the old mainstays like your South Melbournes and Sydney Olympics and what have you
