The actual fu(k?

How we gave a corner form a throw in was embarrassing.

Yeah how the hell did that happen? Looked shambolic.

Can already see what Uffie has his guys set up to do, everytime Kraev gets the ball he gets smashed, ref has ignored several stamps and kicks on him.

2 or 3 players converge on Kraev each time. Not getting all the fouls he thinks he’s due.

Payne throws the ball in, gets it passed back to him and he hits a long ball across the field whcih swings wildly towards the byline.

Bally at fault there - the others pushed up and he tracked back into the box. Keeps Grant onside and it's a very cheap goal for 1-0.

With Alireza Faghani as referee

SYD: 8 wins, 3 draws, 4 losses
WEL: 0 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses

Well we be effed.

Arrghh. He's a good ref. But he just seems to always dislike us for some reason. Like he hates the colour yellow or something.

The only yellow thing he loves is his card. I don't remember a game where he wasn't so liberal with it.

Only in the last 30 mins. First 60 mins he let's players murder each other and once they are sufficiently aggravated, he starts tossing them out like candy.

that's got to be a card for Lolley, studs up on Rufer.

I remember the Iranian ref to be one of the best in the competition. So far he's allowing plenty of late tackles and I'm sure he'll start showing us some cards just as soon as we start doing it too.
Agree with the others though, what a joke of a corner to concede.
Two corners and two dangerous opportunities for Sydney, that's concerning.

How many times are they going to be allowed to foul us in our build up with no cards?

Harper noshing off Sydney's press after committing 3 fouls in a row as if that's the aim rather than getting a clean turnover

he may be one of the better, but he lets waaay to many full blooded tackles go early in the games, if he carded earlier then there would be less agro.

Passing it out is not working lads.

Put the wingers right on the touchline and look longer. No point in pissing it around and gifting it to them. Change it up and make them adjust their setup/plans.

That's the problem for us with this Sydney team. They've been largely rubbish for most of the season but they do have a ton of high quality players in their line up. Once their confidence is up they are going to be hard to stop.

Definitely need to change it up. We’re not getting any of the ball at all and keep losing it very cheaply.

Fair tackle as they both went for it but the moment a player goes down like that you call the medics in right away. Disgusting

We are feeding off scraps for possession, and when we do get it, we struggle to keep the ball on the deck or get it to our own players.

What’s the last man rule here?

has to be considered a goals scoring chance, Kosta was probably a little too far out for that to be considered.
