They were able to sign players outside the cap for the ACL games last season, wonder if they will look at short term deals for some Aussies who get released in Asia during January to boost their squad for the ACL.

Bit of Twitter rage about 'WSW glorifying streaking' with this 

Personally I think its rather funny, maybe i'm getting soft in my old age

over 11 years ago

aren't they actually discouraging streaking in that message?

reckon that is a decent effort.

Don't see much wrong with that. People are so desperate to be offended by anything these days.

Three for me, and two for them.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.  As much as I hate to admit it, it;s really quite clever!

Western Sydney fans have their reasons for disliking Abbas as classless as that was. Not sure what they have against Arnold though.

Which are?

and are those reasons big enough to justify being glad he is severely injured and to hope he has a slow and painful recovery? I doubt it somehow.

He accused Santalab of racism in last year's derby. No evidence supporting his story was ever provided.

doesn't that just provide further motive for them to want to take him out in this game? Plus the whole high 5/handshake thing afterward. 

Even forgetting all that, it's hardly a reason for the RBB to publicly celebrate him receiving such a serious injury.

Agree Tegal. It's ok to dislike someone 'as a player on the field' but beyond that....

That is poor. 

I do notice in the comments they have a grammar correcter, and someone protesting the post.

Calling for Poppa's head yet?

Only caught the end of the game last night but did notice they seem to be moving away from what worked for them in the past, less defend & counter and more possession play. I wonder if Poppa is trying to re-invent them?

combination of :

- shoot farken

- the ref robbed us

- why the rotation business

and thrown in some saying they left after 81 minutes in disgust.

This is the sort of thing which pisses fans off. The club clearly needs the money to do other things with. Just getting the team to the Club World Cup has already cost the Wanderers thousands of dollars. Think about the air flights but also the lost ticket revenue from having to play more mid week games which draw lower attendances. If the players play well then they are likely to get a good deal somewhere else and get rewarded that way.

it is a fair call that the players have an increased workload because of the tournament though. Think they're allowed to be compensated. Sounds like the club aren't even interested in negotiations or even arbitration, which seems quite off.

Should have been worked out before now.

Well, both Dura and Kosta have tweeted in solidarity with the WSW players. Good enough for me. ¡Viva la revolución!, down with the blackleg and workers unite, etc.

the state of the pitch is ridiculous. How can you play football in those conditions. Now into extra time 1-1

WSW have two red cards and a bucketful of yellows.  Do these carry over to the A-League?

How the Club World Cup can be played on a pitch like that I do not know. Western Sydney deserved to lose. Topor-Stanley was unlucky but they were already down to 10 players and probably would have lost anyway.

over 11 years ago

Topor-Stanley sent off two games in a row. Two yellows in last A League Match and sent after 17 mins

They need to get the games played with such a short window for the CWC to happen

But are there only two stadiums in Morocco? Why could the game not be played in Marrakesh? Are there not 100's of countries throughout the world which have stadiums which can deal with holding two games back to back? Westpac Stadium can do it.

The game was a disgrace and should have been played the next day at a different stadium.

Didn't they win with the ACL with farcical refereeing?

Very much so. I believe the expression is "Karma is a bitch"

The refereeing was farcical but it hardly inhibited WSW. If NTS had not been shown a yellow card than Spiranovic would have seen a second yellow instead and been sent off even earlier than he was.
