This Injury diving lst night was crazy, dive and stop the game... whooo hooo.

I think if the Stretcher men get onto the pitch (Even just the very edge) they should be off.
 
I also think, if an opponent is injured on the ground play should continue, especially if you're attacking to the opposite end he's on the ground. But if your own team member is on the ground, you should have to play it out.
 
Anyway, something has to be done, I also think that making fouls blatintly to stop a counter attack etc should be instant yellow.
 
It's wrecking the game.
 
While I'm here, anyone see the reply of the hand ball by the Roar guy in their box, obvious handball. I understand 'sh*t' like thay happens every now and then, even when you've got the best refs in the world, but seriously, not 4 or 5 times every game.

yeah didnt they make it that they had to go off for longer if i was a ref and i saw someone have a miraculous recovery like that i would pull out the yellows and try to stamp it out

That's how Queensland play. They were doing it in the first away game we had as well. Coming up with "cramp" and stuff. It's just crap. And they were 2-0 up then as well.

We had the Roar on the rack from the 20th minute on and they came up with "injuries" and other time wasting methods to slow the game down and disrupt our momentum. I think its cheating.It was a real stop start game.
A playerwho goes down writhing like theyve broken a leg then gets up and sprints into action should be booked....or has to wait on the sideline for the same time they spent on the ground....
 
I think Queensland is my favourite hate team!!

It's pretty pathetic Queensland have to resort to such cheating to get results. It's bad for our sport, it kills the enjoyment of the game and ruins the reputation we have outside of the football community  Dirty cheating canetoads

Did anyone else see that studs up tackle from behind on Smeltz?

I saw one on Covs, right in front of us. Looked real nasty.

agreed, it's a blight on the game and queensland seem to be among the worst at it in this league

now that daniel is staying on his feet, we can claim the moral highground on this one!!

hopefully the FFA will have the balls to do something about it (but i expect they would all feign a migraine and cancel the meeting)
