Al Ahed, the team we are playing is apparently funded and receives support from Terrorist group Hezbollah 💀

I like the comment about last nights game being better for the lack of VAR intervention and that’s coming from someone who was totally for it being bought into the game originally.

That said, it’s not that VAR is a failure as a concept but rather the standard of AL officials that are charged with applying their interpretation to incidents. Quite how they reach the overwhelming majority of their decisions regarding fouls play is mystifying and don’t even get me started on offside and handball reviews.

We might or might not have agreed with some of the official’s decisions last night but after some discontent in those moments, we all moved on and quickly forgot any controversy.

Conversely, in the ALM all we seem to do is argue endlessly about the impact of VAR on games and almost exclusively in a negative context.

Note to FA, either get VAR right or FO.

They try and insert themselves into every scenario and it ends up just making the aleague look soft.

Yep, really should only be used once maybe twice a week across all games not three or four times a game. If the officials are making that many clear and obvious errors there is a huge problem.

One of A-League's smallest and poorest clubs chases four trophies this year

The Central Coast Mariners keep alive their dream of winning four trophies this year, including another premiership, after claiming the AFC Cup inter-zonal final.

AFC not confirming final location really making it difficult for me to negotiate with the missus on going...

"Hey love...can i go to Dubai to watch the 'Ners final....i mean its not confirmed Dubai..it may be Oman, or maybe Iraq...should be right, just fly in and out of Baghdad.

When is it? 10 days time"

I'm surprised [but I suppose i shouldn't be, so I guess I am more annoyed] that there isn't a story in the SMH Tele or the Australian about us qualifying for the final.

I'm not

Netanyahu accused Hezbollah of storing rockets and missiles at Ahed's stadium

Not sure how anyone could find an excuse not to be there tbh.......coz you missed a great night.

First one I've missed (and it was painful)! Excuse was being on the Circumvesuviana train on the way to see the Herculaneum ruins. Passing through Castellammare Di Stabia station all the streets were lined with yellow and navy flags, banners, ribbons and streamers. I thought this was a good omen!
My research found that their Juve Stabia has just won promotion to Serie B 💛💙

This must be a ploy to get Albo and Biden to fund CCM in their pissing contests.

Quoi qu'il en soit hier, j'ai beaucoup aimé les jeux de Di Pizio comme ceux de Nisbet et Doka mais surtout l'attitude générale : beaucoup de calme, de sérénité, même à la fin avec le premier reactions on the bench just after the FT, because the job is not finished a final is a must win😎

We were excellent last night.

Across the park we shone. The Kants are a very good side far better than we face most weeks in the A League.

i too was on the other side of the world but hearing “Don’t stop believing” blasting in the middle of the Heavenly resort in Lake Yahoe was also a good omen!

 

[some guy]

Strange, I stand corrected then.

Need Edmo to score 6 in the final!

Is there a prize for golden boot in this comp?

There is yeah, some sort of “Top Scorer Award”, whatever that’s worth.

Thats pretty blatant. I guess getting a one game IDF sponsorship is not being considered.

Laurie Mckinna posted on Facebook about 1 hour ago saying he’s still waiting for confirmation.

He’s got a tour plan ready on standby waiting to hear so he may have an inside word as soon as the information available.
