Woke up with the biggest smile on my face this morning. What an incredible match that was, but sadly will be remembered for all the wrong reasons - terrible officiating and just blatant Sydney bias coming to the fore, I don't think you can call it any other way. That ending surely has to rank right up there as one of the most farcical endings to a game in the history of the A-League, right?
Twitter and social media still going off about it, and there's some bloody gems out there, but this take from Chiefy takes the absolute piss-take cake ๐๐
The problem I have with this comment is that they only watched the last 10, in isolation the calls were correct, but in the context of the game they were nothing compared to what Sydney had gotten away with. Kraev fouled for sure, was it a yellow, given Grant received not one for any of the 5 shoves in the back while players were airborne I think not. Should Pennington be red carded for raising hands? Sure, but then Burgess should be red carded for instigating the whole thing. Burgess went after Pennington, who had turned and left the scene after the whiste was blown. That is where the clear bias lies, Sydney players got away with everything, Thye saw 2 yellows allgame and they were issued late. Grant could have had 4 yellows for anyone of his shoves - but gets away scott free.
thanks fudge we won, and now sit 6th on the table, 1 point off 4th, Sydney are now 8th 3 points from bottom.
next home game vs Roar is a 6 pointer for me, the play Perth in Perth on Wednesday then travel to us for Saturday. They are 4th. If they lose to Perth we move to 4th, Adelaide have Victory, so this weeks games could all go in our favour.
