fuken hell this isn't much fun.

Pasty 6 Pretty good, not at fault

Leo 4.5 Good work in first half, didn't clear ball for their goal, then stopped for a fraction at off side goal.

Siggy 6 Cheated by a diver

Dura 7 Had the defence well organised until the world turned upside down. Now will prob be in the shit for an honest after match interview

Lochie 6 Good crosses, def well

Fenton 5.5 Tried hard

Manny 6 Held the shape well

Smith 6 Competed well, in the wars

Ifill 7 Nice ball for goal, Tackled back well in first half

Steiny 6 Lovely calm finish, holding ball up better

Brockie 5.5 What a shame header was offside. Worked hard

Lia 5

Totori 4.5

Boyd

Ref and ARs 2 Good first half awful crucial decisions

Your thoughts???

Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

 Thought the first half was shit from the officials as well.  Fenton lumped 4 or 5 times, Sith kicked out of the game only one card... and I'd like to see a couple of those offside calls again because the lino that allowed the goal semmed to have no idea.

I thought Leo was pretty good, worth more than 4.5 to me.

Leo was excellent, hardly put a foot wrong defending and overlapping on attack. Possibly slightly at fault for their offside goal however. Should never slow down waiting for the flag to go up.

Paston 6.5 couldn't really do anything about the goals, thought his kicking was a bit wayward at times though

Leo 7 Seems to have slotted into defence pretty well

Siggy 5 Thought he was again playing to far up front at times as was the case last week,sending off a joke though 

Dura  8 Well suffice to say he isn't Kofi Annan but can't fault his determination, must be gutted after this !

Lochie 7 Best game he has played in a long time 

Fenton   4,5 Faded after being in Casio's pocket most of the time 

Manny 7 Another rock solid performance 

Smith 6  Took a fair bit of a kicking and we seemed to go onto the back foot when he went off

Ifill 7 Still really hasn't hit his straps yet but even an average Ifill is a wonderful thing

Steiny 6.5 Great goal,but still lacking in fitness really faded out of the game 

Brockie  Getting better ,unlucky to have a blind man running the line 

Lia  3.5 didn;t exactly set the heather on fire 

Totori 3  disposed to easily ,looking like a one season signing at this stage ,hopefully can improve 

Boyd 3 Ineffectual 

The answer to life's problems are rarely found at the bottom of a beer glass - but it's always worth a look.

Totori a 1

Brockie a 2 (he did score..)

Dura should get bonus points for his post match interview. 


Allegedly

Yes bonus for Dura

I know he probably shouldnt have done it, captains are supposed to show moderacy (that might be a new word) but I liked that Dura spoke up, and I felt proud to be a supporter when a captain tells it like it is.

Agree with Kiwi Jambo's ratings. I thought Leo had a good game and was wondering how he would be rated.

I agree. I have been one of Leos biggest critics over the last couple of years and the thought of him playing at right back scared the shit out of me to be honest. He has improved every game and is turning into a useful A League right back. Not really sure how he is being blamed for that offside goal when he was somehow supposed to get around an offside Diving cheating c**t and tackle cassio without giving away a pen?

Have to say that I have been one of Leos detractors over the past couple of seasons but thought he had a very good game...probably one of our better players on the day

 agree with most on the Leo thing he seems to have take to the RB role very well, although he did give up to allow the off-side goal. I suprised at the Ifill ratings, he was absent for big chunkls of the game, sure came up with some brilliant touches but only had moments - not hhis usual class.

Thought the refs really screwed us the whole game, Fenton was fouled everytime he got the ball, Kosmina clearly identified him pregame as a threat - the refs allowed him to be bullied - not cool, then the off side calls against us I think at least two were wroing and both were goal scoring opportunies.

I would perhaps knock manny back 0.5

Gave the ball away on a few occasions when he really should have done better. Although perhaps it only stood out as i can't remember him giving it away once in our first 3 games...


Also thought Ifill was pretty good. May have disappeared occasionally as some say, but he's just so dangerous when he gets it. Also saw him track back at pace on a couple of very dangerous adelaide breaks, didn't expect that from him to be fair

They also kicked Smith out of the game as well as Fenton, to the point where he needed an injury replacement.  Unfortunately those two displays are buried in the other issues from the game.

Imagine the outrage had you replaced us with Adelaide, and Fenton with ADP.

totally we'd have had a game abandoned cos oine team only had 7 players. I just cannot fathon how the FFA can allow such bully boy tactics, mith was assaulted the entire first half (thanks HN for reminding me), fenton too, and even with this we managed to go one up, after that the decision just got worse!

 

If ever there was a call for match fixing and refs being on the take games like this one make me think there is a case to answer
