I also dont think Doyle was as poor as everyone suggested (from the stands I thought he held his ground well and his distribution was pretty decent)
R11 vs Sydney FC | Sunday 21st Dec | 7:00pm | SS2
Sorry if I've forgot to take my humour pills, but these comments about Alison Flyn are outright misogynistic (previous page) and rather dodgy on this page.
Pull your heads in lads please.
You sound like Julia Gillard
"outright misogynistic" - laughable. I suggest you look up the definition of misogyny.
Spot on... Roly and co were nowhere in the first half and really kicked into gear in the second. They went from getting pushed off the ball and second to it to dominating the midfield. Meant the wing backs could confidently push on without getting caught out of position.
Thought Smeltz was unlucky at the end there... Doesn't do much to stop divers as he would have been better off falling over.
Doyle still miles off the pace. Look at Iwata for AFC. An example being that early cross by Cruz... Iwata was goal side and doing his job perfectly. One of Doyles better games but a long way to go until he is A League quality.
Silly bitch.
Excuse me!?
We're better than that. We're not the sexist hompohobic RBB...
Though it's ok to sing "she fell over"?
The boys of the Yellow Fever zone
Were singing "Home and Away"
And the bells were ringing out
For Nixmas day
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you
The boys of the Yellow Fever zone
Were singing "Home and Away"
And the bells were ringing out
For Nixmas day
Wooooooooo
Can't watch the highlights video on a league website, any tips/alternatives?
AleagueHD Best A-league youtube channel. Pretty much all the A-league website stuff and then some uploaded in a timely fashion.
Post match interviews and a few full matches and newsbites and on youtube instead of sharke A-league website flash player.
hehehe - satisfied chuckle.
Happy faces all round COYN
4th place on the ladder, that is pretty awesome, woo! Can't see why this could change, we to get used to being a top team. The Boys getting result after result. Agree, was not the most entertaining game, but after not conceding in the first half, I knew Ernie would adjust them and they would come back. They bossed them for the second half, and WE used our chances. Burns is just on fire, modern football do not need strikers. We deserved to win. I could not expect more for this season, maybe it is for reals our best team ever. I'm happy.
Hey everyone, it's an "Away win". Not exactly something we have done on a regular basis in previous seasons and now we are starting to. Rejoice.
Seriously dude...was just frustrated with a couple of Alison's calls. If anyone was offended, I apologise. And we won.
Peace.
People are desperate to be offended by anything these days.
Thanks Buffy for telling me how I should feel about blatant sexism - he is still doing it in his "apology" post - yes it was a bad call but the fact the AR was a female shouldn't come into it at all. The AR was shark and made a bad mistake - True!
FYI did Banzai take the time to learn the names of all the male AR's who made mistakes against us?
I'm quite an opinionated person and I struggle to keep my mouth shut because when I open it, it usually gets me in trouble but on this topic, I can't resist.
I am quite disappointed that there are a couple of keyboard warriors that are so tough to denegrade the efforts of Allyson Flynn not because of her performance, but because she is a woman. Match officials can deal with stick from the football community. We are not perfect and certainly have howlers that are never allowed to be forgotten. That's part of the game that we buy into when we sign up and PAY to become a match official - you will never please anyone/everyone but everyone is entitled to their opinions on a referee.
To those keyboard warriors, do you guys tell your wives that all their dreams are worthless because they are a woman cause I bet you being an official on the HAL was a dream of Allysons. After all, you have just pretty much said that the efforts that Allyson has to go to to get herself onto the the league, pass the fitness test and be as good as the other officials every week, are worthless because she is a woman. Don't judge her on her performance and what she does every week, judge her on what body parts she has under her uniform. The fact that she is there doing it speaks volumes for the keyboard warriors that wouldn't even own a pair of runninig shoes.
Next time some of you are standing next to Tracey, Liz or Jo in the stands, supporting their team along with you, go tell them that their support does not mean as much because they are a woman. Go on, I encourage you to do so. See how that goes down.
A very low day and I actually feel very dirty wearing a yellow t shirt.
Ernie said in the press conference that the Krishna and Burns switch was decided by the players themselves and that he had nothing to do with it. Quite and interesting press conference:

Obviously in good spirits.

Wooooooooo
A synopsis of the analysis we can anticipate in this weeks pod?

It worked well with Ibini and Gersbach.
At the start of the season I remember watching a couple of player interviews where both Burns and Krishna said they wanted to score 10 goals. For Burns, I thought, I'm glad that he's setting that as his target, and if he gets them by the end of the season I'll be very happy. For Krishna, I thought he was dreaming. Shows how much I know. Krishna is well on track, and Burns could get 20.

Very well put Mr. Kerr!
Also am I reading correctly? 120k posts?!

We edited his post count as a gag. I can't remember what the gag was though.
Those are the best gags.

Maybe 2ndBest can make a graph of mistakes made by male v female ARs
Ok sure, maybe in light of no action maybe we could just remove the offending posts and all related ones and move on? How about that?

My girlfriend actually blamed the mistake the AR made on the fact that she was a woman, and not a man.

So do you actually believe that? That she is inferior to a male AR for some reason relating to her gender

Hmm how to reply to the guy with his knickers in a twist over this whole thing....
(edit: and i said knickers as opposed to undies, as i guess it would be sexist and ignorant to assume that only women can wear knickers)
(edit2: ive also just assumed you are a man, when you could very well be a woman - which would make sense as to the level of offence you have taken to what people have posted in regards to this AR. I apologise for this assumption)
(edit3: ive just put my foot in it again, by assuming that only women could be offended by sexism. Sorry again. I'll let myself out..)
Blaming people who get offended for being too easily offended misses the point. The gender of the AR is irrelevant and the fact that it was brought up as part of the rage at her is crossing a line. I can recall an absolute shark-ton of poor calls from male officials in the A League before and never has anyone indicated that those are in some way related to their gender.

All that is missing is "That chick is really a shark AR but at least she is Hot"

What about our racist chants about aussies always cheating? Or is that not really racist because theyre white or something? Or because being aussie is belonging to a culture and not a race, therefore we can make generalisations on cultures?
Lets just get over it shall we?. I doubt whoever made the comment in the first place is an actual sexist. He probably even has a mate whos a female

Great post.
Though, I judge her on her performance - and she was shark.
Sarah (Is that her first name?) Ho does a fairly good job on the sidelines, perhaps with experience, this one will develop into a good official too. I am sure when she saw the replay, she might have thought "ooooops".
But it is a learning experience. Who really cares male or female? Competence is more important and there is certainly worse match officials than her running the sidelines and in the middle of the park too.
