WPM R16 vs Western Sydney Wanderers | Thu 5th May | 9:05pm | SS7

fudge! it had to be Hemed!
I really don't like the way we sit back after scoring and taking the lead, it's like we are daring the opponents to shoot.

That was a really good goal, bugger it. 

However, just like Eden Park, perhaps defending so so so deep and inviting countless pressure isn't necessarily the best option.

When you let the opposition have 77% possession….. 

Had to be Hemed... 

God I wish he stayed with us. That was a brilliant little turn and finish.

God I wish he stayed with us. That was a brilliant little turn and finish. 

It was basically one of the few decent things he's managed all season. 

I thought that was in from Sutton :O

so close, thought Waine had that one, 

I was with both of you.  Thought Sutton had it, then thought Waine had it.

Rurhlessly hurt twice.

No idea why the ref waited so long to blow the whistle for that foul on Sutton.

yeah, almost like he was waiting for the assistant to call it for him.
easiest yellow card decision.

He plays with a club who is poor and doesn't know how to use him properly. He was a gun for us, and had he stayed, I have no doubt he would've been a focal point for us up top.

McBreen - "Sandoval goes down way too easy"
Really should be saying - defender shouldn't have used his arms!

Anyone got a working stream?

"There's nothing in that". He's pushed him over when he's already off balance and running at full speed.

FFS it's them that are getting all the luck this week.

Fuuudggge

The difference between going down easy and a clever winning of a free kick from commentators?

The team i guess.

Cmon Gael went down like a sack of spuds as he usually does…

So unlucky...we need a bit of that this time of the season!!!

Can someone confirm if Waine's goal should have been disallowed or not? The ball comes back off the keeper so  it's the same as if a defender had played it back to me? Or am I wrong? 

Of course he did.

But I regularly see commentators refer to that as winning a foul.

Bit also how many times have we not gotten Gould or pens because we didn't go down.

Their player fouled us, Gael hit the deck like he had been sniped.  Pretty normal for football, st least in this instance he was actually fouled.

I am guessing it wasnt deemed a play at the ball or something

as would anyone in that position. the difference is how its commentated on.

He was off when the ball was struck. Happy enough with the call.

yeah just, but does the ball touching the keeper not put him back on or does it have to be an intentional touch?

Weird game.
20% possession and yet I feel like we could be winning.
We have had the better chances, but I would like a little more ball.

Is anyone else's sound out from their picture?  Happened to me in the last Aussie game as well, and has been worse in the half time show.

yeah we could easily be 3-1 ahead, but also could be down by 2.

sound is a bit weird for me too.

Intentional

"He hasn't done anything" - he's just run straight into him with no attempt to play the ball.  

What a finish from Old!!

Ball with great control, crosses, finds Old who claims a classy shot and goal!

VAR better not rule this out.

Now please don't sit deep and ask for trouble for 45 minutes. 

They calling that offside?
Wow

Ziggy Dirty Bastard on for WSW

utter bollocks!

utter bollocks!

 
Cheating 
Edit: have seen the video and boy, oh, boy, can see the case can be made, though not a Nix fan buying it  and not much poetic justice there. 

What a fudgeing sham
That came off a WSW player. What fudgeing bullshark

Wow....how's that off-site?? He didn't even get involved in the attack and didnt touch the ball at all
