Fake fans? What a load of crap. Passionate fans expressing their opinions. I am so over some people bitching about people expressing themselves in the heat of the moment, caught up in the passion of the game. What do you want? A bunch of bland yes gender neutral types? I can refer you to place where they exist.
For my 2 cents worth, let's start with my favourite subject - Referees. - Ok, so there were two challenges where the boot of the Perth player was too high and why VAR didn't rule on the one in the penalty area is interesting. Other than that, I felt this referee actually didn't do too bad a job overall. He missed a few things - for both sides and thus showed some consistency.
Once again, the Nix were all over a team and still not hitting the net. Sotirio being the most guilty with 4 clear chances. But he was not alone. However, credit where it is due - Reddy. That guy is almost always good when it comes to finals and tonight, he played a blinder. Ball must really dislike him after that excellent shot on the turn.
Whilst disappointed with the result, I am so glad not to have lost to some controversial decision or VAR screw up. We lost to a soft goal that was well worked, telegraphed and watched. Other than that, our defence did pretty good really as Forniroli looks like he is finding form again.
I would love to see the club release a season DVD up until the Covid break. Some of those performances were the best I have seen from the Nix. I hope too that the majority of the players are kept. As for a goal scoring striker like Hooper ( Let's be honest, his scoring ratio wasn't bad, his player set ups were great and his little touches were classy for the most part), then look not further than England. a Gazillion players looking for work as clubs are desperate to trim their squads and wage bills due to Covid. I see a chance to get in someone around 28 years old with a proven track record on a good deal. I think wages are going to come down and players realise the great times are not so great anymore and bills need to be paid.
Thanks Nix for a great season, Thanks Ufuk, the Players, the club and my fellow fans. It was fun when it was good and even when we were losing we never gave up. Roll on season 20/21 or will it be 21/22??
