RD 22 vs Perth Sunday 9th, 5 p.m

If we can keep Sidnei quiet we will have a decent chance of getting the points. Busy day ahead for Boxall though.

Anyone notice just now on the intro Sky showed Lia as Boxall?

Brindell-Souths 1st touch has deserted him

Is the official theme of this round scrappy football played on pitches that resemble ploughed turnip fields?

STOP TALKING ABOUT NZ VS JAPAN YOU FUCKING MORONS

Yep almost wishing for Slater, almost

Krishna looking like a handful so far.

Oh FFS. Who put a curse on our fullbacks?

So whats Timmins like?

Brindell-South is not fit enough to be a professional footballer.

Proof that Dewhurst and de Jong don't even pay attention is how Brindell South was injured. We all saw it, I saw it, it happened in the last 'foul' he committed about 3mins before he pulled up, yet these fucking clowns missed it.

"Magnamonius". Classic Fred.

How is that not a card?

Boxall is very proud of his abs, gets them out every chance he gets

I detest Dewhurst. If he was on fire i would pour petrol on him.

Why Carlos? What a stupid way to pick up a yellow

jfc -that was pitiful

supporting the phoenix is hard at times

We derserved that

wooden spooooooooooooon

inb4 lia goat

Bloody hell here we go again!!!!!!!

Gallas scores with his foot in the penalty area from open play. The football gods are truly being cruel to us now

This is rubbish.

All our recent games at home to Perth have been shit, this looks no different.

searching for positives here - Ridenton has the makings of a quality player

Both teams look like open A sides.

Ridenton has got quality. A bit of experience behind him and he'll be very good.

This is woeful. Such shit and I can't stand it anymore. I'm done. Fuck this. I'm watching the rest of this game on mute.

Remember when we smashed the tards 5-0? Those were the days...

Jesus wept. Gallas has been rubbish all season and then he goes and does that. It's got to the point that any shot from outside the area against us is destined for the corner of the net.

What a butt-ugly game. I've played in many Capital 1 (or even 2!) games were the intensity was much faster than this!

Sure there are mitigating factors, mainly:

- Injuries

- Manny's suspension

- Hindered preparation to the game due to the AW game

But we haven't strung two passes together for 45'. And to make it worse we conceded a really soft goal. We let a 40 year old fat CB with only one leg score after a 50 mt counter attack - c'mon.

I liked Krishna and Kenny (although he sometimes has major brain explosions and is very clumsy when defending). Other than that, very very average! Give them a good talking to Ernie!

So what is the half time entertainment

A Hyundai sign and a warning about pitch invaders read by a semiliterate?

Maybe they don't want to make the game look bad

Krishna has been good value.

Hopefully we can get him on the ball a bit more in the second half

I can't believe that we will play as poorly in the 2nd half.

We should run all over them.

It's highly possible. but we'll need some control in midfield to do that.

Wonder what Ernie has in mind for the second half

Ugly, but Ridenton and Krisha doing pretty well.
