What was the actual incident like? Seen some comments on reddit suggesting it was a legit shirt pull but it was being let go all game. I'm not a fan of shirt pulling, gives the defender an unfair advantage.

Shirt pulling is rife this season and for some reason, perhaps to do with the interpretation of advantage, refs aren't policing it which has naturally led to it becoming widespread.

For me it was one of those 50-50 calls that in general I'm happy to see let go. Defender definitely had a hold of his shirt but Berisha made sure he went to ground after he was let go. Not even in the ballpark of the two absurd Stefan Mauk pens a few weeks back.

Berisha went off like a firecracker because a) he's Berisha and b) it was their last best chance to get something out of the game.

Just watching the clip RR posted above. Its a pull of the shirt, lifts it up to show some Berisha midriff ;) , for the sake of the game long term would like to see those penalised more often than not - like Davila against MV, past the defender who keeps tugging his shirt but Davila doesn't go to ground (which likely would have been a 2nd yellow) and the defender is able to slow Davila and recover - unfair advantage.

Thomas Tuchel had his defenders train holding tennis balls to get them from pulling shirts. Players adjust, have for handball when defending crosses and no one tackles (as often) like they did in the 80s.

Effing hell, look at the state of the Gosford pitch tonight

Look at the pitch. Big yikes. #CCMvMAC pic.twitter.com/FNB5GyHuLG

Bit of a kit clash here.

Nigro blasts over a very good early chance

Simon's shot gets deflected over the Keeper, 1-0!

Hatch scores with his first touch in the A-League,  2-0

Berisha was correct. How the f--k did all the officials all "miss it" make you wonder. Pretty damn obvious.

CCM have a 7 point lead over 2nd placed Macarthur. Macarthur only has a 6 point lead over 11th placed Newcastle Jets .......

Hatch scores with his first touch in the A-League,  2-0

That was a great moment. I was laughing at how nervous he looked as he was waiting to come on, a minute later he's scored.

Diamanti rested vs Sydney tonight 

Kosta fouled in the box, Bobo converts. 1-0

What has happened to Max Burgess? Is he still at Western?

Gardening leave. He wants out of his contract, western don't want to let him go without compensation, so he's sitting on the couch watching the games on TV.

Thanks for the update. Always thought he was doing quite well with them.

Sydney starting slow and were lucky to not be behind but since the penalty they have been well in control. 

Grant scores in his 200th game, 2-0

He played one or two games. But I can’t imagine Rudan let something like this slip.

Dura sent off for slapping a Sydney player that pushed him. 

Two quick goals for J-Mac, 2-0

Noone makes it three, 3-0

Redders passes straight to Prso, Jets take the lead.  0-1

Crocombe dropped by the Victory. Not a total surprise that, he was starting to have a few too many 'could have done better' moments on goals. 

Ninkovic levels things up, 1-1

last nights scores?

Wilkinson heads Sydney ahead, 2-1

Lonegunmen

last nights scores?

 City beat Macarthur  3-0

A Brimmer free kick puts the Victory ahead, 1-0

Mauk gets Adelaide level, 1-1

There is going to be one of those entertaining games between 2 terrible teams to see who is slightly less terrible. 

Adelaide midfield is totally invisible defensively 

Yengi!! 1-2

2ndBest

Adelaide midfield is totally invisible defensively 

 They focus on high pressing and all out attack, defense is optional 

Props to Yengi for celebrating in front of the Victory fans bay 

Mauk with a double, 1-3.

I'm sure it's not just me, but I am loving how shark the Victree have been over the past couple years.

The new banter club of the A-League?

Kick off delayed at Gosford, its a wet day and they are worried about the new turf 

Mariners vs Glory delayed 30 mins because it's raining.
