WPM R15 vs Sydney | Sat 19th February | 7:05pm | SS7

he has 1 game a season when it comes off, that was last week.
10 to go maybe even 20 if the 4th adds a minute

I warned you but you had to let him waste it.

Lonegunmen

Don't let Lewis take it!!

 Wasted!

Sydney stepped up another gear, if it was possible, but hopefully we can weather it. The tempo increased and this is the last ten minutes.
Whether we like the Smurfs or not, their conditioning seems exceptional.

so if that whistle is anything to go by, I can just stop and hold my foot and i win the foul!

I SWEAR I HAVE NEVER SEEN A REFEREE SO EASILY INFLUENCED 

LAUGHABLE

game management according to commentary - its fudgeing useless reffing.

Fudgeing Sydney sycophants

i really hate seeing Burgess in Sydney blue.

How they can make light of it is beyond me 

Bozza would be calling it as it is - utter shark! He'd be fined for it by the FFA but at least he'd call the Sydney favouritism.

Waine has not been able to impose himself on the game so far.

Hoops for a last minute goal.

A point would be a fantastic result. How long is this ref going to add though?

4 mins from the 4th, by this refs calculations thats 20.

He could come on, but isn't the game too fast for him?

 The 4th official adds nothing. The referee decides.

we'll the 4th advises the number of mins shown on the board, ref can decide how much to add fer sure. rare that they disagree by 4 mins.

Kosta shoots wide.

Love the way Oli grins whenever he pulls off a save like that.

Sail saves off Bobo!!

FFS Ref!

Sail, MOTM. Put that in the book right now. Brilliant.

thank fudge for that.

not sure why Corica is so upset, Sail came for the ball and got a touch, perfectly legal.

Phew what a cracking game! Excellent point, well done lads.

YES! So happy  we didn't give them the 3 points. Very proud of the team!

Looks like that is the end of that. Phew.

Deserved at least a point. New ref and it showed. Completely got bullied by Sidnee FC and was utter sharke.

Still, we’ll done the the team for holding out for that. A couple of better decisions and we might have got a bit more but hey ho. Can’t complain about the effort. 

Waine doesn’t seem to be able to find himself in games at the moment, hopefully he starts to build up match fitness over the next few weeks. 

And sail. Wow, just wow. Take a bow sir!

End to end exciting game with so many opportunities for both sides, a draw is a fair result.  I'm very proud of the boys over the past 2 weeks - 4 wins 2 draws, they deserve a good couple days break

Oli saved our point there with some amazing saves.

Would be laughing if Uffie Twitted Corica.
We hung in there.
Bobo a great player and Waine and Old didn’t quite find their range despite some promise.
Did Sydney get a card for the rugby tackle that was waved play on? Burgess definitely didn’t, because he was adjudged not to have fouled.
Wish the ref well in his quest to grow a moustache. 
Great run of games! Unbeaten.

Running out of superlatives for Sail. 

Gobsmacked by the ref. 

Take the point and move on. This team is looking very solid overall considering how much talent we lost last year.

I’ll give you a guess and your answer must include some perjorative and the word Sydney to be considered…

Saul injured again?

Mainland FC

Whether we like the Smurfs or not, their conditioning seems exceptional.

They'd had 8 days off between games. I think our conditioning is exceptional the fact that we were even as competitive as we were.

And now an 8 day rest for the lads. 4th and a game in hand on Sydney and equal points with them!

Bananas

Oli saved our point there with some amazing saves.

Mancrushing hard on Oli right now 

11 points from 5 games in a 14 day stretch. Don't think we could've asked for much more than that to be fair. They beat my absolute minimum of 10 points needed from those 5 games so hats off to the players and management too.

Now we can breathe. Hope Uffie gives the boys get a couple of days off after that run.  

On the game itself, we invited them back in. I thought we set ourselves up well on the counter. Always up against it when the man in the middle was wearing a Sydney top as well. 

Unbeaten in 6. Long may the streak continue! COYN! 🟡⚫

Also, you all know how I feel about Sail, so will just leave it with this, just wow. 👏👏👏

Bozza would be calling it as it is - utter shark! He'd be fined for it by the FFA but at least he'd call the Sydney favouritism.

 
Miss ol’ Joel Griffiths to Corica “But all the fouls were coming from Sydney FC.” 
Corica must be looking for another job next year you’d think…

Outpost

foamy

No card?! 

Sure play advantage but produce the yellow at the end of play.

This ref is a shocker.

New rules isn't it? Play advantage and you can't go back for the card. Or am I dreaming that?!

Is it? Absolutely ludicrous then. Refs on the forum? That level of cynical challenge should have been punished.

Where, Barcelona???   Corica is not quite the quality of good old Graeme Arnold, but has twice the ego. And it rubs off on the players in their attitude. This impresses and intimidates the young referees a bit more than it would some of the older ones.
