Berisha's comments in i/v with Mel .. sickening.

He got touched slightly before he took the airshot and it's possibly that touch that caused him to miss the ball. I also have to say I thought it was a pen at first glance, and we need to remember that the ref doesn't get replays.

He did not dive. He took a shot and fell over. Ref awarded penalty, it is entirely his fault.

Quite correct Buffy, I have edited appropriately.

Dont agree. He was off balance the whole time. Actually struggling to see a touch there

Berisha is touched in the head though

Did he even ask the assistants? Given the state of the game, he really needed to be 100% sure of it.

I thought it was a deadset penalty on first look.

I agree, I thought it was a penalty at first.
All those who reckon he was a cheat-should he have said to the ref'I just fell over' get a life.

on replay clearly he fluffed his shot.  I'm not a Perth fan but I didn't think it should have ended like that.  We really should be watching the beginning of extra time now.

How did Jarred Gillett win ref of the year?

The thing is Berisha claimed a peno, while on his arse he threw his hands up to beg for one.

He appealed for it when he went down by himself, therefore = cheat.

Why would you have Gillett in charge of the final ? The major talking point is the peno; whether or not Berisha is a dick is moot. By rating that cock as the top ref in the leagus always meant a contentious decision was possible.We're not talking about a cracking game of footy;we're talking about a sh*t decision from a poor ref. 
 
Oh , I'm glad the Roar won but I do feel sorry for Perth. Had their smothering tactics near perfect tonight. Crap way to lose a final.

Some thoughts (from only watching the last 10 minutes)

1) My first thought when it was live was that it was a pen.
2) Totally fluffed shot but I reckon he got a light touch on his left foot a step before.
3) Could have gone either way....
4) .....but given how sh*t the reffing has been this year in the a-league would it have gone any other way?

It's all such a logical flow..... :)

Im not a complete idiot, some parts are missing!

Best team was Mariners, top of the table - you cant argue this. Look at Roars 6 in a row losing streak. In my book if youre sh*t enough to lose 6 games in a row, youre not good enough to be champions - AND in the top leagues around the world you wouldnt be. If Barca or Man U lost 6 in a row they wouldve thrown away all hope of taking a title weeks ago.

Terrible terrible decision.

Can't blame Berisha for appealing for it but I didn't like the pre-penalty celebrating that was going on - he could have been a little more circumspect about it, fully knowing that he hadn't been touched.

Anyway, Brisbane, enjoy your moment. Ange Is about to sell you down the river and without him someone like Berisha will just be a f**king liability.

You don't know that the ref had not already blown for the penalty, so it would make no differance.

Well, yeah, you can.

Brisbane played them off the park both legs of their semi final. That after only finishing 2 pts behind them in the league.

Ignore the losing streak. Best team in the league so well done to them.

Well i havent played in a grand final of any description, but as it stands i can honestly say no. If i tripped over myself in front of goal next week id be too embarrassed to appeal for a pen.

Someone better tell Berisha that there ain't no chocolate in that medal.

Poor Tony Sage.  Lets hope he doesn't decide to chuck it in after this.
