That goal keeper is lucky it went in, he stuck our his hand and made contact outside of the box. Clearest red you would have seen.
why wasn't he red-carded anyway? 

Eastbourne Football Club - we're  gonna take the Chatham Cup this year.

I think red card would be for DOGSO, goal was scored so no denial

Because if a player breaks a leg but the oppossition team scores nothing happens. Happens in any league around the league.

Those two things are not the same.

Three for me, and two for them.

Unreal save for the header. Well done.

We've gone back to a 343 (though with the left more attacking than the right) and having Roa Conchie for his pressing, Piper to rb, at the expense of LKH so a bit quicker backline.

Good work from McCarron but yet another example of our backline being bossed when a cross comes in

Personally I think that the Kelly-heald brothers should both be starting, Lukas has been one of the best players every week for this team and McCarron just had 5 put behind him. I just think that Chiefy isn’t making the right decisions even when his job is on the line.

bouzanis, salas, mcgarry and o'shea are the sum total of brisbane's team. vidic would probably be better in a better team to be fair.

Our midfield/attacking play has been appalling, we are lucky we were gifted the goal. At least our defense and keeper have improved a bit since the last game but it isnt like the Roar are putting them under much pressure

Conchies distribution is terrible, he has broken up more of our attacks that Brisbane.

Jeez why would armiento make that challenge. There was zero point. We all know the nix can't defend a lead.

Not getting pictures this week for some reason. 

We’ve had VAR refuse a clear pen last week, interfere to give Cosgrove a pen that usually isn’t given, take no action against Brisbane as Ishige was fouled out of the season…

How does this rate?

So silly from Armiento? Man

Well, we have had recent evidence that number on the field doesn’t necessarily matter!

I’m sorry how is that a red?!? He holds the leg opposite to the tackle.

I know you’re not the biggest fan of referees, but that looked like a clear red card (take away the push and shove that followed).. armiento didn’t complain

Frustrating to only see one angle of a red card incident but to be fair from the one angle we saw it looks orange at least

I actually thought it was a 50/50 , both players outstretched, one guy feigned injury and the other got red carded despite both lunging at it. From the two replays I saw anyway. I think the ref has lost the plot.

Such a pathetic corner delivery from Ramy
3 months ago
Studs hit ankles, I think the way the brisbane player lunged in, and the tackle before it, both played into it but it's a clear red under the current interpretations. No idea how Eze was the one to pick up the yellow tho, which is annoying coz hell have to watch his step from now own, and the concerns for suspension down the line

 ref is in an excellent position and was going for his back pocket red slightly before the mass confrontation started.

The referee caused the incident through his poor game management then chose to take a hard line view on the tackle and a coward’s line on the melee

Red or not does the referee not have to review the VAR tape or is he just taking their word for it?
And how does Eze get a yellow in that? there's no way they can single him out without reviewing replays, except VAR can't rule on yellows?
I have no idea how any of this works any more

From the view we got given i reckon red every day. If it was one of ours fouled we would be screaming for a red.
Question needs to be asked where is the view of Armiento being floored holding his jaw thats what kicked it off.

Just want something to go our way. 

A few times! 

First goal was nice for that, but this seems less so…

Ref gave the red onfield, VAR didn't recommend a review i.e they agree, or have no alternate angle which contradicts the on field decision.

 he has good energy in that pressing midfield role but his passing today has been incredibly poor

Putting the goal and red aside - really poor half of football from both teams. How are they allowed to play at 4pm in Queensland in January?
