R18 vs Newcastle | Sun 22nd Feb | 5:00pm | Bellevue Gardens Hotel

heh, then Krishna gets one where I thought the defender had just got body position.

50% of last weeks scoreboard howler

Lol what did it say?

Gaaarrrr

this is a shooting gallery

um its supposed to be far post Roy..

we're knocking, knocking hard here...

firing blanks

Jesus

What are our backs doing?

defensive organisation please. Don't just assume they will hang back

This is pretty embarressing. Our defence is a shambles.

Cant blame the ref for this,  our defence at set pieces is shocking,  and we have to start putting away our chances.  We are going to be lucky to get anything from this game if we dont score before h/t or very quickly afterwards

The ref has given us a lot of soft pens, i dont think we can complain.

first guy impedes him, second guy takes him out. FFS.

and sod all on bench if Ernie wants to mix it up(which eh didn't last week)....Kenny and Hicks.

well after ball gone tho.

17 fouls in one half is just ludicrous

Just kicks through the back of him. Dangerous play or whatever and a professional foul. How's that not a yellow?

45' to save the season.

On the positives, it's great to have Piney!

not the first guy going across and putting his arms out to stop him getting past.

Still feel we're going to win this.

A-League refs are so crap. It's beyond a joke. It used to just be a funny thing to say when something didn't quite go in a sides favor, but they really are the sharktest cods ever. Ever.

We're not helping it by going down easily on some occasions, but I guess that's just part of being desperate for goals. Krishna and Burns'll get their telepathy back soon, but we need McG or Roly or A-Rod also making good runs into the box.

We need to stop looking for the Penalty. Just play hard boys and let Dura chat to the ref

Burnsy is looking damn good. Krishna has played well, but again, isn't quite there...

Getting a bit sick of seeing us throwing mass tantys at the ref. Not his fault our defence leaks like a pensioner with incontinence. Fix your bloody defence, put the ball in the back of the net and stop whining for penalties that aren't there.

We seem to be playing ok in all our recent matches. We have the ball but don't do anything with it.

If our forwards don't get their act together soon we're in trouble.

Not sure if I want to blame Earnie but I must say he doesn't seem to have a plan B.

Teams are packing their half full of players, trying to disrupt our passing game and it's working.

So what's Earnie going to do? I'd say we have to spread the game on attack and use the wings a hell of a lot more.

Going through the middle seems a dead end.

Need 3 goals, can't see it happening

Who would you want to test the keeper from distance? A-Rod and possibly Roly? Burns? Wet weather and rebounds possible...

Defence has been a shambles all season fullbacks who can't defend two central who rush out of line and moan all game instead of giving each other cover and to slow on the turn right across the back four and to support this comment Doyle on the bench as defensive cover , Dear GOD

Absolutely %100 correct

anyone who can kick the ball hard  but there are no candidates...

Guy hanging off Boxall's shoulder in the pen box. Is this now allowed?

PUT IT IN THE FUDGING NET

What the fudge burns! !!!
