Straya - A-League and State Leagues
CCM v Adelaide 7:30 & Brisbane v Newcastle 9:45
both down to ten men. what happended? was it another shoulder charge
Bit harsh on Broich by the look of the replay.
"Sharing rewards the weak"- Steven Colbert
Hardly touched him, Broich a bit unlucky on replay, Partalu (sp?) very lucky though
Should have no more than a yellow for Broich.
Definite yellow/red for Mitchell.

Mitchell ran into Broich, Broich stood his ground, Mitchell got up and pushed Broich off his feet, second yellow for Mitchell and straight red for Broich. Broich should never have been sent off, Im sure the Roar will appeal that one.
I was waiting for Berisha to get in there and rustle some jimmies

The test is whether no referee would have given him any card for that, including a yellow. They might not be able to argue that. It did look like Broich was trying to stop Mitchell. And he can be a sneaky cunt with things like that.

Another painfully absurd decision. For the life of me I can't see any way Broich could get a straight red for that, unless he called the ref a cunt in the confusion.
The refereeing this year has been downright awful.
Grumpy old bastard alert
Anyone got time to make a "Please fix the refs" banner for tomorrows game?

All the big name refs are not getting used.
How many referees this year are doing their 2nd, or 3rd game. We've had 3 of them and this chap is doing his 3rd too.
The problem is not the referees. Its the idiots appointing inexperienced referees over the big name ones. I think we can agree after 9 rounds, its not been this shocking in any other season.

I don't think it's just the newbies having shockers, even some of the more experienced refs have made some random calls

Yeah fair call.
Had we have the big names getting used more often, we would be looking at less shockers... How many games has O'Leary done this year? For a guy thats in the WC program, you would think he would trump their lot.

Clone Strebre. Although he did have that one game in which he made some bad calls. Still better than the rest
oh dear. a sitter. Nash did well as mush as Henrique did poorly
feels like that game took 3 hours or so to play. ends 1-0 to the Roar
I actually regret watching that game. Dreadful apart from that tiny bit of Henrique comedy.

Roar probably did deserve it but couldn't say it was clearly in their favour.
According to Fox sport news.....Mark Paston in goal for the Mariners yesterday.
Rescinded. Why couldn't they do that for Siggy?

Had to go on about conspiracies...but this sort of stuff just keeps on happening.
Allegedly
There was zero chance that they would leave Broich banned. He's to much of a pin-up player.
So the rules are only there just in case a Phoenix player gets sent off?
Allegedly
Or if a player gets sent off against FFA FC.

Because Broich did nothing wrong.
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid
He clipped him late. Yellow card. Can't go from a red to a yellow.

Sorry Tegal, but he was given a straight red card not a yellow. Ref also spoke to the Roar captain after the game and he acknowledged his error. That is why he got off. I watched the game and could not believe the refs decision.

From what I saw on the highlights, I wonder if he confused Paartalu with Broich.
