WPM R16 vs Central Coast Mariners | Sat 25th Jan | 5pm | FeverTua to ChCh

I feel like Nagawasa wasn’t even touched? Everyone missed the ball and the defender missed the Nagasawa.. 

You can spot my patterns of behaviour m- yes I’m absolutely ropeable- but this guy is a shocker and you could see it in his earlier decisions.

Yeah on second watch I'm not sure about that one actually 

Any more reckons? No foul from Shaun Evans too. He had two goes at him, nowhere near the ball either time.

Love that from Sheridan 

love that from sheridan!

I wouldn't have been happy if a nix player had done the same thing and a pen was awarded. 

Monto

Yeah on second watch I'm not sure about that one actually 

I am not sure from the footage if the defender gets a touch or not.

Not entirely sure how Nagasawa's feet could have flow out forwards from underneath him if there was no contact.

 yeah, it's like i couldnt actually see the contact, because of the camera angles, but it seemed obvious what had happened. if that makes sense

True, can't really tell a lot either way from the angles we've got really. Would love to see the VAR angles, would be very interesting

With Tim Danaskos as referee

WEL: 3 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses

CCM: 5 wins, 1 draw, 0 losses

Geez martinb, have a vape or ciggie or another drink or something 

Either you’re all trolling me, which case, well played, or you can all f- off.  

18 years and I want to bloody win something. All this shark, handball goals, pens not given, is just something not all teams have to deal with, and if you’re supporting a team don’t be reasonable- get them every advantage they can! It’s not why we lose, but it doesn’t help.

Just cos your other team is a porsche 

New here, been watching on and off since 2010. Getting sick of hearing Shaun Evans name, that's for sure

Yes because whether people are biased or very biased on Yellow Fever forums will determine when we win silverware

God we'd be deadly if we still had Zawada. Bit of hight and a proper strikers instinct, would be lethal on those crosses

we're not creating much at all.

our best chances are half chance scrambles. no openings, no one through on goal, no cut backs even. only scrambles

I'm just going to say for the benefit of ballane who gets very precious and defensive every time I criticise Piper, I don't think Walker is A-League ready either. Both very clearly the weakest links in our current side by some distance. Not their fault we don't have anybody else who is better though. 

Me? I never apologised for King. I thought it was a bad call. I was defending a tired Elliott as to why in the 80th min, he chose to try earn the foul rather than try stay on his feet

But yeah as with Monto, your constant ref bashing each game is tiresome. You are the only one who seems to do it nowadays 

There is no anti NZ bias in the ALM (there may have been sometimes in the past). All the teams frequently cope rubbish decisions. I’m sure each team has their “we were robbed” game(s) this season already

 100%. Walker needs to go to the ball a lot more instead of waiting for it

piper's got lego feet. and for both, their technique diminishes when either themselves or the ball is moving. that doesn't mean they won't get the hang of it and they both have awesome physical attributes

Usually dominant teams get better calls. Elliott got one or two soft pens with Uffie. 

But King was a stone cold shocker and this is marginally better, but dammit- Walker v Roux and Kaltak is what we’re playing. I want us to get what we’ve earned here.

Why would you take Ishige off..?

So close from Ishige - had a cracking game today

What a save 

Conchie penalised for a shirt pull - good to know this rule exists

not bad chch

now lets add a christchurch a-league team and bring danny halligan and johan verweij out of retirement.

Absolutely atrocious football.

Chiefy Out.

Yeah this is bad at 89mins

I must admit only adding 3 mins on considering how long that VAR took, demonstrates some very dumb officials 

priority is still men behind the ball. our strikers are 30 yards from our goal when we dont have the ball

Pretty dire.

Fudgeing shocking. I’ve seen better from Masters league on a Saturday arvo.

Game finishes with yet another atrocious example of football from Piper. What a dogshark game. It's not going to get better very quickly for us is it. 

absolutely stupid football. our main striker is defending like a left back. has to sprint the length of the field to join an attack and his touch lets him down because he's so knackered. marco van basten didn't bring his briliance to the field by defending deep and running his tank empty. i feel sorry for barbarouses having to play like this

this is just one example of many

we can say injuries this and youth that, but what's the reasoning for playing stupid football like this?

That was preety dire.

How was the crowd size? Looked decent

A lot of pace but not much else at this stage imo. But that's fine, because he is 18. Just not great that we have to rely on him, because he would be a very useful super sub.
