R14 v Perth Glory | Thurs 5th Jan | 11pm | SS3

now everyone cant pass. aint just a-rod

Spot on

30 to go - first change! Smeltz only has 60 in him.

Love seeing Doyle get agro and go head to head with their guy. Bit of the Siggy about him these days, and he's playing well too.

fudge me! red for krishna what the hell??????

That's not a red! Yellow at best. Utter bollocks

And there goes the game!

you fudgeing idiot 

Straight red looks harsh on first shot.

and second, and third.

Holy hell that is a soft red

ref just fudgeed us there, not krishna's fault - lowry hammed it up big time

Side on view gets him flush on the shin with the studs. You can certainly ask the question..

WTF, no way.

and this ref is one of the professional refs in the league. why is the FFA so determined to screw us over!

Mike Cockerill calls it a "harsh decision"

yeah, one of the three.

Can't blame Lowry, Krishna did catch him after his shark touch, ref has just botched it big time.  Anyone catch what Krishna said as he went down the tunnel?

it appeared even Lowry thought red was way too harsh

Not exactly a leg breaking tackle. That's what they invented shin guards for.

Go to bed, guys.

That was not a red card. If you say it is, you're a numpty. He pulled out. Yellow, maybe, red - never.

Won't be overturned though.

I don't think Lowry thought it was a red.

on a bright side - chrisdes have made their 2nd sub for the first time before the 87min. 

At 6's and 7's now!

should never have been red in the first place, any ref who had that view would have pulled a yellow only.

I give up!

no, but he did his best to make it look as bad as possible.

So, assuming Krishna faces a ban, will we see Smeltz and Watson start next week?

Can't see that working. Maybe Rogerson should get a crack?

Out of all the players that could've got sent, Krishna is the worst. He's easily our most important attacking player and not just because of the goals. He tracks back constantly  and pressures well - Kosta doesn't do that so well.

take out kosta while we are at it. Seriously - no sarcasm. 

ffs, we are just opening our cheeks and waiting for it... very little fight being shown at either end of the park here...

Griffiths just wide. Once again A-Rod passing to them. Maybe he's colour blind!

Refereeing standard is poor tonight even by my low expectations.

Don't think I've seen Watson break into a jog

much better boys!! come on!!!

Fenton for Roly

Now is the hour please

Some really great work from Watson. Improved out of sight.

Kosta on the otherhand has had yet another forgettable game.

Fenton on for Roly?

A one legged Roly who doesn't give a shark is more likely to change a game and pull something out of his ass than Fenton any day of the week.

Watson and Smeltz next week will bring back memories of Fallon + Smeltz..
