Match 25 vs Perth Glory | Sun 30th May | 3:35pm | Eden Park

I can't believe it wasnt Hemed.

Perth are lucky they haven't list players with how much they have been yelling st the ref.

Come on Phoenix!

What is var up to again?

What a disastrous decision that was. Stupid, stupid.

I can't believe King saw Castro slide km the box with his arms up and said he saw it and didn't give a penalty. And then it happened again off Casto and Taylor. Ridiculous. Fudgeing disgraceful even. Go fudgeing damn it fudge 

Disgusting behavior from Perth players but why was the ref standing on the goal line????

Football handball it’s all the same

I think the last one should've been given handball.

ripped off by the VAR and ref again

Alex King: I am the law

TBF we should have put that pen away. season over

Piss poor officialling that last 5 minutes but we should have won that. Tomer all day for the penalty.  Not a great game from Ulises

Such a clear push from Lachman and two dodgy handballs.

We have been done ladies and gents. 3 pens not given in the last 5 minutes alone with the referee and VAR being complicit. Disgusting. Fudgeing awful. ULI should have scored that penalty but it doesn't negate the fact that we had 3 penalties not given in the last few minutes of the game. Why is that??? 

Absolutely insane that Hemed didn't take the penalty.

Ulises did miss the pen but changed the game when he came on we wouldn’t of tied it back up without him

Um that is fudgeed.

How many pen shouts do we need till the ref checks the fudgeing var? Or at least talks to them? Obviously we had the chance to score our pen but last time I checked there wasn’t a rule that limited the amount of pens a team is allowed to get. Fudgeing hell. 

Funny how we've just set a club record (10 games without a loss) but none of us give a shark due to the penalty mess at the end!

Agree that Hemed should have taken it. He still hasn't fully won me over but man he takes a mean penalty. I need a lorazam goddamn 

We let an injured player take our most important penalty of the year. Chaos

Not really the point. Yes he got us back into the game but the clear , unsentimental decision was not to put that much pressure on a man who has missed so much football recently. Talay should've clearly established beforehand that Hemed was to take the pens.

What was the crowd?

yip should have gone to the form player.

Well- we didn’t shut down through the midfield again for their second and we had miscommunication in defense in a three on one for the first.

Didn’t defend well enough to win.

Crap way to end the game and the season. Sad for Uli that that is his final effort for us. Sad for us that we did enough. 

Lachman in the book for a crunching if he’s still a pro-footballer in the future. Shades of the handball goal from Sydney.
And apparently VAR can be used against us in the first five but not for us in the last five.
Gutted, classic end of season bottle job.

WHY Davila WAHY??
Hemed scoring pens for fun, why Davila????

Wtf man

Uli too right though? Reddy was our pen shoot out hero once- he just out waited Uli and went the right way.

Well he takes the free kicks, corners and throw ins, so why not :)

10 games undefeated though, and now we wait for other results and plan to beat MacArthur.

 why not? thats easy, he's recovering from injury, Hemed has been knocking them in with ease.

regardless of how this season ends, we must re-sign Devlin, Hemed and Taylor. If Davila is gone we have to be focussing on Piscopo as our creator.

Butchered it.. our assistant saying “we will try to defend our 1-0 lead and hope it works” is such a wrong mentality. Davila penalty was poor.. can’t blame VAR or refs or anything.. we had destiny in our hands and we fluffed it. So sad right now 

Did Davila’s miss help out his new team?

Plus Davilla hasn't been the best on pens. Crazy really, surprised that call wasn't made by the coaching staff before Ulises took the field. 


Glad Perth never got a penalty, Davila might've put himself in goal for it 

Who knows? Hemed takes it maybe he misses too. Probably doesn’t, but maybe does.

Are we definitely out now?

Sotirio should have taken the penalty...

Still a chance depending on other results.
