Missing Reira, our midfield is lacking that bite. Might even be missing Lia.... nah fuk what am I saying
R24 V Melbourne Victory | Sunday 5th April | 7:00pm
Is Rodriguez even on the field? Can't remember him doing anything. McGlinchey is also having his usual quiet game.
Victory were the better side
BUT
Ref 1 - Nix 0
These guys are beatable. I expect Ernie will give the lads a massive rev up at half time and they'll come out in the 2nd half a much different side.
Time for fever to ask ref if he wants to be bottled...
Not helpful nor is it funny.
Maybe not. But I am really feeling violent towards the fudgeing cod.

How was the ref to blame for their goal?
Very sad to see Griff off like that. I don't think we realise how much we miss Riera.
They have played us off the park in the first half, but if we can score a goal, the game can change.

I agree--- stupid
I knew from that first free kick for Khallfallah that the ref was going to be inconsistent, but I didn't realise he was going to lose his knitting quite like this.
Hope we can pick it up in the second half.
Which is why I shuddered when I saw he would be today's ref. All the later problems in the half stemmed from the ludicrous yellow card he gave Roly, which was totally out of proportion to the offence. Both teams then went into a cycle of tit-for-tat fouls and general frustration, forcing the weak and inconsistent KGJ to keep trying to even the tally. A classic example of a poor referee negatively affecting the rhythm of a game.
Ernie get the air dryer out
Disagree with a couple of the refs decisions around yellow cards, but that's not why we are losing. Melbourne came out very strongly. When we started to come back in the match and look ourselves, the game got broken up with the injury, Melbourne holding the ball for long periods of time, and then we lost the plot about a couple of the refs decisions. We had some promising attacks but never got into much rhythm.
Every chance in the second half if we can get it together.
Chant something good
Victory were the better side
BUT
Ref 1 - Nix 0
How was the ref to blame for their goal?
We are just not in it. Possession is 41%. As Ryan Rovers said, we have zero intensity. They are really pressuring us and we have to go long to get out rather than play out from the back so we just kick it back to them. Manny is not having a good game and was responsible for the goal and getting caught, boxed in or leaving a man free. I don't think you can single McGlinchey and Rodriguez out cause are midfield collective is not performing, Roly included along with others. Burns for me is doing too much when he has the ball. He beats 5 guys and tries the 6th.
We need to go back to receive, then when the pressuring man is almost there, pass to the free man. We just do not be doing that. We seem to want to hold onto it. I suspect (and I have not been watching it) but our movement off the ball is not there.
I guess the other point, how good is Riera?
I think the only yellows really are Roly and Georgievski. The rest are meh and because the ref fudgeed up earlier so it trying to balance it when there should be no need to.
Muscat's positioning is poor, and when did he last pass a ball with his left peg
Hopefully someone had a word to the ref during the break
So close Cunningham

Ignoring the goal here, instead looking at his influence on the game
Well in Cunningham, give us the goods

Trumpets are pointy...

Are you serious. Stop being a pansy. Put your knitting needles away
WHY DIDN'T KRISHNA GIVE THE PASS, CUNNINGHAM WAS THROUGH!! ARRGGGHHHHHH
we have gone back to sleep
What are you thinking ref
Pressure on the keeper quickly boys
Roly has been quite horrid tonight
How shark was that.
this is becoming a nightmare
Shambolic.
Fudge me Dura
Great pressure on the new keeper boys, well done
Back to season 1
Shark we make it so easy for them.
Says so much about the way we've been playing last two weeks. Let's hope Perth get points docked - may be the only way we can sneak a home playoff!
Riera is a fudgeing idiot for getting carded last weke
Back to season 1
We drew 2-2 with this mob in first ever game coming back from 2 down
Roly keeps running into blind alleys and giving it away. Has been so poor
Boxall will get 3 weeks for that!
:-(
All that to try and milk a red card. Clearly that wouldn't hurt that much for a man. What a little baby.
Boxall will get 3 weeks for that!
:-(
I think Milligan tried to headbutt Boxalls shoulder, Milligan should get 3 weeks
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
