Well done Ben Waine, hopefully first of many.
But that was a pretty tough watch overall.
R4 vs Melbourne City | Sun 3rd Nov | 6:00pm | SS7
Fenton what a legend.
Classic Fenton interview
Well said Louis
I vote Fenton man of the match for that post-match interview.
Ah Louis, that's hilarious!
Waine looked like our best player tonight when he came on... tried to make things happen and had energy.
Fenton will be fined after that outburst!
lol good move to interview fenton
lol the interview with Fenton, f#ck f#k F#k
Terrible from senior leadership playing group letting Louis get on TV there. Someone should have pulled him away.
lol the interview with Fenton, f#ck f#k F#k
Only 4 mins of added time... okay.
Great interview with Fenton. Nix legend. Fans should pay his fine imo.
What did he say?
Even Boz and Slater are agreeing with us
What did he say?
Just how it didn't hit his hand, in between a couple of f-bombs
Missed interview, my stream dropped out right after F/T, what did he say?
I can only imagine it was a belter, based on comments here so far.
What did he say?
What did he say?
Just said "it didn't hit my fudgeing hand" on live tv, then the interview was cut. Nothing bad, and i've got no problem with what he said, but some will and he may cop a fine, the other players should have protected him from that.

I don't think i've ever seen a worse call than that, var ref needs to be sacked asap
DeVere can't start again.
Are there any refs on here whom can offer an opinion or justification for any of the decisions please?
Disappointing. Only positive from me is that we seem to be working the whole 90 minutes in these games.
Otherwise whatever is happening isn’t working. I’ll give the losses to Perth and Sydney a pass because to me they’re the two best teams in the league (Champions and faux champions). This game should’ve been at least a point though, and losing to WU was just sloppy but first game of the season and I give you a pass. For all the chances we create (not in this game) something just isn’t right. The team looks so disjointed. Where’s the width in attack and the support for the FBs on defence. Why are these players jockeying like it’s FIFA 20, put a damn foot in. All credit to Waine for his energy and grabbing a goal and Ball for his hard work but feck the rest. There’s no reset button preseason is over BOYS (BOYS).
Victory next? Cool.
As for the VAR blunder, first of all, whatever the decision is, accept it, no good bitching about it, Right or wrong, we’re wasting our time bitching. That ref just irks me too, got a few choice words about him that Raindow Fever wouldn’t appreciate so I’ll leave that open to your interpretation.
Fudge the 4222.
Fudge these weak attempts at tackles.
COYN and onto the next one.
The main VAR guy should have his sports betting history/bank details audited... there is no other explanation for that other than he has money resting on the result.
Thought it was. A bad move taking off piscopo at halftime
that Hooper starting thing was weird for our set up. Changing two players at half time isn't ideal.
We're making too many excuses across the board. Can't say we deserved any of these games. At least we've scored a couple in this game. I'd say we need to score at least 2 to get anything from a game
it is absolutely beyond belief that anyone with half decent eyesight could see a slow motion replay of that incident and not draw the conclusion that the decision was incorrect. Just unbelievable.
The worst decision ever.
thats just fudgeed!!!!! deserved the draw from that game, played well enough but griffiths-jones robs us!!!!!
Time to start a collection

Says a lot about the team.
Start docking the referees wages. They might then start paying a bit more attention to arrive at the correct decision. Until the league sorts the referees out, the product will always be shyt.
I wonder if they did that intentionally, knowing he'd tell the truth and get a fine and or suspension. Louie, I got $20 for you towards the fine.
DeVere can't start again.
He looks shot

Laughing mate. Refs are the most protected species in football.
we're awful without the ball
thats just fudgeed!!!!! deserved the draw from that game, played well enough but griffiths-jones robs us!!!!!
Not griff- Zetter apparently
Melbourne City - Wellington Phoenix
61% possession 16 shots, 8 shots on target
39% possession 7 shots, 3 on target
- The stats were against us pretty much 2 to 1 across the board
- Not a bad result considering the lack of opportunities.

Can kind of understand the ref giving it, it's whoever is making the VAR decisions that need the sack here. I feel the slow motion replays, with a bad frame rate, often make things look worse than they are... it annoys me when they only show the replays in slow mo. Although even in slow mo and every angle they showed, this never looked like a penalty.
