Under new laws of the game, since it was a penalty it could only be a red if it was cynical, which that wasn't.

Sorry whats this? I'm not sure I follow you. I thought if you foul a guy thats basically through on goal, you are gone. Has that changed somehow?

So what have we learned over the last 10 years? That the match officials have been, are and always will be as bad as they were from day one in the A League and that their level or standard has not improved one iota.

Well there I was hoping this new referee would be the start of a higher standard of officiating in the A-League...

Yep - New DOGSO rules.  Unless it is for shirt pulling, the defender doesn't attempt to play the ball, or the tackle warrants a red on its own merit anywhere in the field, it's no longer a penalty and a red.

Biggest issue for me is that we're getting absolutely nothing from our full backs going forward. Ernie likes them to attack .

It is like Lia has never heard the phrase "just hold him up". Tries to win every ball, which is stupid when you have been booked.

There are 2 definite pieces that look out of place - Roly and Finkler. 

We are suffering from too much duplicity in that area. McGlinchey is dropping a little deeper and he is looking a lot better than last year. Need Roly to get up and down more and be more of a link especially you are going to play Finkler higher and Lia deeper.

Ref has made on mistake that I can think of on the dive, which is always hard to pick up.  I think he has been good.  Lino's have done him no favours.

Lia is going to get sent off. We can all see it. Ernie doesn't?

Lia probably shouldve been sent. He's missed a lot of niggly fouls. Assitants have had shockers too.

Yep, this is the most concerning thing for me, no matter how much ball we have in advance areas, we don't look even close to creating something remotely threatening.

Not a good night from Parkhouse. Not looked the part at all and his inexperience has cost us big time.

Right. Ok. So outside the box, you can still be sent off but inside the box, its a yellow (cause they get the penalty) unless its one of those 3 you listed. Does that include handball cause surely handball would be cynical as Patrick said.

Yes, getting forward, but there's no connection getting made.

Just not sure what our style is supposed to be or how our midfield is supposed to be setup. We're all over the place. Dura and Rossi are keeping it together somehow, but only just.

It does remind me of MV in Fink's latter does with them.

Probably depends on the situation - how cynical was the hand ball.

A good sub right now would be Roly/Lia for A-Rod purely cause Lia is liable to be sent and Roly is doing very little. I would not mind Doyle for sharkhouse as well.
