Handball is handball - regardless of it being in the course of
blocking your face, the shot was on target, and was blocked by his
hands. end of.
Haven't had conclusive evidence of the Elrich incident - if there is any that suggests that it was accidental - then seeing as it was a straight red, Phoenix are entitle to appeal.
The two latter goals wer ethe Nix geing caught out in defence because they had to chase the game (and being a man down), and they were both very well taken goals - not a lot you could do about them.
I see positives in that Phoenix were able to weather the early storm without losing any goals, Roar had a number of chances, thanks to some frenetic defending and lucky breaks we got through unscathed.

Ok Cantona I take your point and am putting a poll exclusion order
on myself. I just like doing polls because I get to ask
questions (to which I am interested in the answers) without
offending anyone.......... too much..... danielsleftball2007-11-12

Folks, We've got about 7 threads including refs ones going on
last night. It is a rule of the forum that we try and keep
discussion to as few threads as possible.
I closed the other poll for this reason, but if we could keep that in mind it would be magic.
Cheers.
But it wasn't on target was it... the chances of it breaking Dodd's nose and then going in the net were pretty limited...it was on target for his head, not the goal.

I thought the only thing that was in danger was row z! but
you see them given for less, it was pretty poor technique from Dodd
as Ricki pointed out.
Any news on whether we can and will appeal the red?
Normo's coming home

don't think it matters if it's on target his hands we're in
an unnatural position from his side and so had to give the
penalty
i thought we we're poo before Elrich went off and never looked like getting anything
imo we need a striker with a little bit more pace than smeltzy has to offer not saying smeltz is crap and i'm not singling him out in terms of the game far from it i just think he lacks a little bit of pace

I thought we were looking pretty sketchy at the start but i thought
that Moss was in for a goody... The red card as far as im concerned
was a bi over the top but nothing much we can do about it now is
there???
What Dodd did probably wasnt the smartest thing to do but in my opinion sometimes you just have to risk the professional foul if it means that the keeper has another chance of saving it.....
However I still dont think that it was this accident that led to the fall of the phoenix...

don't agree Giddyup - if the the lino hadn't called Elrich offside (aussie commentators even said it was dodgy) we might have been 1 nil up
we were right back into it for the 10 or so mins before Seo took his dive

i reckon reddy would've got that if only to clear it with the boot
,Elrich was no where near offside either but it doesn't matter
now, now it's all what if's and
maybe's as for seo his smile was
bigger than when ronaldo got rooney sent off little
pr!c
don't get me wrong still phoenix till i die

We werre beaten by the better team. However, any chance of us
pulling what would always have been an upset were taken away by the
pathetic excuse of a referee.

It was my fault. I broke my usual routine by not wearing my
Retro-Ricki t-shirt while I watched the game, and I had a cup of
tea at half-time instead of coffee. I shouldn't have done it, and
I'm sorry.
No complaint at all about the penalty, but I'm still a bit
dubious about the Elrich incident. From every replay I've watched,
I still haven't seen him swinging his arm into the Roar players
face. Ref was in a better position than me tho' and I did think the
protests from the bench were a bit half-hearted when the red card
came out. That being said, definitely not the best refereeing
performance I've seen this season, by a long way. It didn't
help.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Risking a professional foul in the penalty area when the ball
wasn't even on course for goal?? you should never risk any foul in
the box. if you're going to do it, do it outside the box at
least

It's a shame O'dor wasn't on the park at the time of that penalty
incident, if O'dor had gone up for that ball it would have smacked
him fair in the snozz!, no matter where he had his hands!

Hard to disagree. Sadly for the Phoenix, it's turned out to be
the type of decision that gets given against us, while some other
sides seem to be teflon-coated when it comes to similar
decisions. That's just life in your first season in the
A-League I suppose.
That's ok. Weather the storm, and it shall pass.
