Bang a couple in Phoenix! Stop wasting our time.
As for being offensive I wasn’t the one calling our player a diver.

Most people consider accusing the refereeing team of racial bias as more offensive than calling a football player a diver, for anyone playing along at home.
There’s a history of racism against Asian and Latin American players and then there’s trying to justify not giving a stone cold penalty. Remember how a South American was carded for diving out of the blue a few years back?
I’m giving you my opinion that ‘soft’ ‘not really much contact’ etc etc all sound very familiar. It’s not coming from nowhere.
Moreno a Sth American was very lucky to get away with a clear trip on Ikonomidis (an Australian) inside the box, last weekend. Should have been a pen for MAC.
The racial bias stuff is loopy. As someone else posted some refs now seem almost scared to give a pen. Plus it's the A League, with a long history of controversial calls for all teams (except maybe SFC) & creeds.
A South American tripped a Greek Aussie once so there’s no racism in football?
Glad we’ve solved it then!
But you’re right mate, A league refs are average for a bunch of reasons, but it does seem like we’ve got the violence out of the league that used to be in it, but also that the game is flowing a lot better.
Sick of watching football and feeling blah. It’s entertainment. I wanna be entertained.
