Considering the Jets were 1 point behind us with a game in hand, they had a lot to play for and didn't make it easy for us. I don't think I've ever actually seen us win 1-0 at home. Have seen us leading 1-0 a few times and conceded late goals for the draw - NQF and Victory last season.
 
Made for an exciting last few minutes. I actually thought we played ok. Maybe the fact we couldn't kill the game off with a second goal makes some people think it was an ugly win.

Obviously I've got no way of knowing this for sure but I'd be prepared to bet that among players Chris Beath is one of the least popular A League referees. You can see players visibly bristle as Beath drags them aside for yet another long schoolmarmish lecture, and a lot of his decision making is muddled and inconsistent. It's very frustrating for those on the field (not to mention off) and that frustration often has consequences in the form of poor discipline, brutal tackles and diving.
 
His handling of the Melbourne derby last week was one of the worst reffing displays I've seen and exemplified everything bad about Beath. Certainly not arguing about Muscat's responsibility for that tackle but at least some of the blame has to be shared by Beath for his mishandling of the game up to that point.

You can't blame him for diving,brutal tackles and poor discipline. The guy is just a f**king awfull ref. After 20 min. yesterday I said to my mates- watch the cards come out in the second half.
Most of the refs are over lenient in the first half by trying to be Mr Nice guy(which does not work) and they then relise that this has not worked and then they smack everything.
If they laid the law down from the first whistle, then there would not be this raft of cards.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

That second video is actually quite funny but your chant will never catch on as most people at the RoF cannot perfect the tune to Go West eg. stand up for the Phoenix

Indeed! Almost the entire YF needs to listen to that first bit and realise that they sing "Stand UP for the Phoenix" completely wrong every week!

Would it be easier if we all thought of the Village People version instead of Pet Shop Boys?
