I was thinking it was a very harsh foul to give us to begin with, then almost went into shock when saw the referee point to the spot. You honestly saw it and thought penalty straight away?
Wasn't the ball a mile away? It really just looked like 2 players that had run into each other. One heading toward the ball (dura), the other running into an opposition player (culina). Not that I'm saying we should have had a foul either, just that if you did have to blow your whistle it would be for a nix freekick.

My recollection is that it had gone out of playing distance.
Even the Fox Sports 'experts' agreed that it was NOT a penalty, and I agree.
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid
Playing distance is not well defined but would be interpreted to be that the ball must be within the ability of the player to reach out and touch it with any part of his body that can legally play the ball.

Don't start me on shepherding the ball out not being called for obstruction.
Just re-watched it on mysky. Durante heads the ball away and Culina goes into Durantes path gives the appearance of pushing Culina because his arm goes around him but he does not actually push him. The obstruction was the first and only offence

Sunday Shootout just showed footage of Ricki chipping a drink bottle into the wall in the dressing room in frustration during halftime. He cares.
Indeed if anything Culina obstructed Dura. As I recall it he had recently headed the ball in the opposite direction of Culina's run and was moving in that direction. Crazy penalty to my mind. I would be pissed about it but really it didn't matter.
Although without that penalty it might have only been a record matching drubbing instead of a record breaking one.... Son of a

noticed that a number of times, brockie and Stein both fighting for the same spot. I would have thought with 3 up front it would be simple, Fenton/Ifill to one post Stein to the middle and Brockie to the other post. Surely Greenie is coaching this???

I think the referee is quite lucky that the penalty decision has been forgotten about. Haven't seen a penalty decision that bad for a long time,that I can recall. A real shocker.

Ah, so it IS him who tells the players to keep chipping the ball rather than hitting it with some purpose.

something is surely wrong at the phoenix
The squad looks unmotivated/ poorly coached...
Both the reserves and the first team squad cannot compete... YOu have to start asking questions now
Really? I've not noticed it. I thought we've been fine so far...

I'm more interested in if there was a Phoenix player there wanting to play it and it went to anywhere but him. Too long? Too short? High and loopy? C'mon details here...

Firstly, to the international audience watching, whilst you might think you look like a clever and ironic bunch of wits, in actual fact you far more closely resemble a bunch of ignorant hicks.Humour bypass much?

At the very least they should be apologising to the fans and offering to refund tickets for anyone in the away section out of the players team funds.
