Match 3 vs Newcastle Jets | Sun 24th Jan | 8:05pm | SS7

I agree, i've never heard of this.  As a (bad) defender, I would never think to get in the space where the attacker is swinging his leg to kick, and would expect a penalty against me every time i got clipped by the leg there.

Four players in support so he shoots from distance.

Some of you are just to one eyed . Can imagine the stink on here if that pbeen given as a penalty against us. Is time they started turning some of the good play into shots and goals

Contact in the box was a thing I'd heard of too. 

McGarry the only player worthy.

weve got.to move on from sautirio.

Do we have anyone on the bench that can lighten things up?

Uffie is gonna cop a card if he carries on.

What a putrid half of football. 

Talay's lost the belief of the players.

Lot of arm waving and yelling from Hemed this half. He's a very frustrated man.

ref a joke. Newcastle lie down- kontrombus, T-S- get the whistle. Welcome to Aussie Tomar!

I can see Talay getting a red card before this one is over...

good lad Devlin. Need leaders out there to keep us going. We're better, we'll score and win 

He and Ball are making the same runs, both hold back and move towards the penalty spot

I hope we bring on Lewis for Sotirio and we can turn this around. 

Pretty slow and static ball movement in the front third. Need to address this.

haven’t seen too much from hemed that makes me think he’s an upgrade on hooper. We’ve got plenty of possession but not doing enough with it. Need to really start making it count or we’ll end up losing this.

Very dissapoitning first half. Need to change things up. Front 4 as they are not working.

anyone else yelling at devere as he decides to go all the way to the halfway to tackle Odonnoven? At least make a foul in that position, he was beaten and the goal came. Frus

Interesting to speculate how VAR would have responded if the ref had actually given the penalty.

Yes, especially as he let himself get completely turned. If he just held the guy there for a bit the goal wouldn't have happened. 

c'mon Phoenix!

Well this game was billed as battle for the spoon, kind a sums its up so far.

on the positive side McGarry looks a real player. 

The post again!!!!

IT'S ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS!

the refs, commentators claiming Hemed initiated contact is utter bollocks, he cant initiate contact, he had know idea the defender was there, if anything that's a tackle from behind that doesn't get the ball, the fact that the defender threw his arms in the air is a dead give away he was expecting a pen. Reverse that an put a jets striker there with a nix defender and a penalty s given - with no arguement from anyone except the fans.

Yep, he's really coming into his stride. 

Totally predictable.

Wtf Marrinovic

On the counter again.  Should not be getting caught out like that.

And then Marinovic with the explosion.

Yep theres our season gone.

FFS!!!! again our defence is sitting waaaaay too high caught on the counter!

maybe ROYz was right, bring on sail

Not the first time Marinovic has got hopelessly caught running out when he shouldn't.

same old, same old. Every  fudging season. ?

Duncan has been amazing.  Offside or not, that was another good save.

Why does every keeper decide to have a banger game against us!

Thank goodness, that clown Ridenton is off. 

I think Taylor hid a multitude of sins in our defence the last couple of years, Laws cant go one v one like Taylor could
