I think the referee deserved man of the match. He made sure he was noticed throughout the game. Sadly for the wrong reasons for us but for the right reasons for A LEAGUE match officials. I don't mind a bad referee if he is bad towards both sides or a good referee whom is fair to both sides. But this cnut was so obviously biased it was beyond a joke. Either he was completely incompetent or bought or following the A League instructions about attitudes of give nothing to the Nix. Nix players to get a yellow for anything, Perth players to get nothing for clattering Nix players.
VAR what a load of shark on all the decisions.
Those kids in aisle 23 were excellent, rows a,b, and c in the zone were applauding them for their efforts.
Just to show you how passionate some fans can be and how biased corrupt refereeing can affect a game. There is a boy in a wheel chair- the one with the lightening bolt wheel caps, whom after Lowry got sent off, burst into tears. For the last 20 he was pretty much inconsolable despite his dad's best efforts. I have seen him before getting in behind the Nix and cheering them on.
I felt so bad for the little fella. His passion and love for the Nix is so obvious. My nomination for fan of the year IMHO. Young fella come back k to the next game, you inspire people to be better fans.
