Aussies on Reddit absolutely spewing at AFC rough play. And fair enough, Verstraete's rugby tackle was hilarious; but the refs let that sharkhousery go against Auckland as well (Pijnaker was rugby-tackled for Citeh's goal). But anyway the Aussies now hate AFC as much as this forum do.
Yep, I don't think there was anything particularly remarkable about the ref last night. Just your standard level of A-league level nonsense and honestly Adelaide couldn't hack it.
It’s been how City, Sydney and Adelaide have always played. Or for a long while.

The yellow for Sakai was unusual. Pijnaker though must have a dossier of dirty photos or something!
