At aami Andddd yeah. Very quiet, expecting a fairly dull game.

We will never fully decide who has won the football.

Mifsud released by Heart apparently. Will go down in history with Lloyd Owusu and Dino Kresinger as providing some of the best ever A League comedy.

Sucker punch just before half time. CCM don't deserve to be level at half time.

He's had quite a few misses-of-the-season. Weird mixture of brilliance and ineptitude.

I think Central Coast deserved that.

Good finish by Ibini. CCM making Heart pay for their bad finishing.

Highway robbery but that's impressive from Ibini.

For awhile under JvS they were finishing all their chances but the new coach effect is wearing off. They should have had this game wrapped up already, yet they are losing.

And the stuffing has well and truly been knocked out of them. A draw is useless to them anyway.

Williams should have had a hat trick. For every goal he scores he duffs 6 plus.

That reminded me of some of our early season games: miss a hatful of chances and ship a late goal to lose.

Thought the constant harping criticism of the Japanese ref was OTT. Anyone that watches the ACL games can see they are much more lenient than ours. He did miss one very bad foul by Hutchinson but overall was certainly no worse than most A League refs and quite a bit better than some.

He let the game flow, which was nice to see.

Only if your wine tonight is a bit dodgy. I was just wondering why their numbers are way down again. Twitter speculating there is another problem again today.

Bridge with a very nice strike, Perth are horrible.

The thing that I just don't get with Perth is that over the years they have been one of the top club sides in the country. Since the A league they have had some very good players but they don't seem to be able to compete with the other clubs.

Sage is happy to spend money on top players & WA have some good talent but they just can't seem to appoint a good coach. They looked like they were progressing under Edwards but it was untenable for him to continue, which he brought upon himself. If they got things right, Glory could be good again but they always seem ways to shoot themselves in the foot.

See I think you are partially right on this one. Edwards was a better coach than Lowe of that there is now doubt. The problem is that the owner backed the wrong horse. He should have tossed the Burns and his cronies. So he bought his kids in. Coaches can play who they like as long as they get the results.

I believe that owners should tend to side with coaches more often than not. If a player says this sucks or this is not working, it will be born out on the onfield results. Burns now looks like a petulant child because when they made the change, they were not in this position....

Grumpy old bastard alert
