Season over, good try boys, just don't have the quality

Don't think Uffie being allergic to making subs helps

Ball gotta stop doing his whole shoot it straight into the keeper thing

Odd decisions. Keeping on Sail with one arm... Lewis giving away that foul in prime position for J macs free kicks. Wtf.

OMG how bad are we!
Maybe not as good quality as the best team in the league but we're not bad, hence the unbeaten run we are on.
 
Only question is should Marinovic have been on? That’s where we do have depth.

Ole Nix must be a tough watch for the neutral. We would have trouble scoring in a brothel.

Yep, and the yellow card should've gone to Sotirio for making such a hash of holding onto the ball further up.

Genuinely annoyed that Waine is off and Hemed still on. Still waiting for just one bit of non-penalty related class from him.
TBF, his chalked-off one vs WSW was fantastic. And tonight's one as well
Edit: Plus, penalty taking is a talent. You only need to look at our past struggles with it to prove it

Yea have now scored 34 in 22 games, just over 1.5 a match, I don't think that is bad by international standards. 

I guess frustrating thing is many times should've scored more.

Was that Hemed's first goal from open play?
Has had a couple of others (not sure exactly how many, but definitely has)

What was Hemeds yellow for?
For putting on a very tiny hat.

We'll take that! 3 points from the 6, with 2 games at home coming up. We are still in this!
Absolutely. Weirdly I don't think four wins out of four is out of the question. That's assuming some other results go our way.

Thought that was a really brave, big hearted performance. If we'd converted those chances to go 2-0 up I'm sure we would've gone on and won.

Away draw against best team in league usually a good result, but a bit frustrating given we need to start winning asap and handed them a goal on a plate. 

We're still a good chance of playoffs, we're good enough to be there, but need to start winning now.

Impressive game with out Davila and Taylor. Thought Laws was good- just got us in control of the ball and moved it calmly. 
If we’d put away MacArthur et al earlier in the season I think we’d have be a real handful in the finals. We just held the best team in the league to a draw and had chances to beat them.

What did he do?
Carried the ball right through the middle and smashed it in to the post from the edge of the area.

A bar mitzvah.

Great to see him score and keep the season alive another week, but if he pulls out those pro Israeli antics at Parramatta in 10 days, the RBB will erupt. And not in a good way.

 Makes Maclaren's goal scoring record even more amazing if he is just a B team player.

That's incredibly disingenuous. Glover, Reis, Good, Galloway, Berenguer, Metcalfe and Luna are all regular starting players. Tillio and Colakovski are young but have been getting a lot of game time this season too, only really Tsubaki who you'd call a B team player. You don't post often but when you do it's always snide and sardonic comments which read like you don't even support the nix. I don't get it
