ALM Round 8 CFG Away

[BrisRecky]

Just listened to Aurelio's press conference, nothing controversial but he did allude to us having the benefit of being fresh and full of energy.

Vidmar is a knob head...who knew flying to Manila every week boosts your energy levels and vitality,
his just making excuses for his pale blue arseholes

I cant underdstand why, late in the game when Faz won the ball in our penalty area, the Shitty player wasnt booked for simulation. Too many times the referee plays on to give an advantage but surely in the next break a card could be given.

Imagine having a victim complex when you’re the richest club in the comp. Even some of their fans on reddit going on about how they’ve lost so many players. Yeah buddy we did too and didn’t have two marquee slots and all the other exemptions worth of cash to replenish the 40 something goals (or whatever it was) and gun defenders that left in the off season.

 

[Melange]

The foul did get caught on two different angles its just a shame the VAR didn’t use the slow motion replays…

If only the VAR team took as much time to review that as it took to review two of our goals.

Absolutely, every one of our goals was poured over with a fine tooth comb. They don't even try and hide it. That Lakolish bloke is a huge pretender and could only beat Faz with two hands in the middle of his back.

I agree there first goal there was hands in the back but Faz has to be stronger I have noticed a lot he goes down easy when there in his back.

Faz does have a flop habit. But a two hand push is a free kick.

I can understand the Review for our the first (even if their first wasn't reviewed correctly), it didn't make sense for our second though.

I also don't understand why the ref had to explain it to their players after the first was ruled on, VAR ruled on it, there isn't a need for an explanation from the ref.

Ref just pandered to one team.

Spot on, made me sick how they were gathering around the Ref wanting an explanation when the Ref pretty much flat out dismissed Faz and his complaints about being pushed. Agree on the first as it was a tight potential off side.

Tbh if referees at all levels were better at communicating/explaining decisions there would be a lot less lip coming to them.

Not sure why he needed to have a full meeting with city but definitely “VAR checked it and he was clearly onside” should suffice.

Start using the cards they have if players can’t fall in line. The example being set at the top of our game locally would be very unsettling at a grassroots level yet FA refuse to clamp down in any meaningful way. Then they’ll launch another respect campaign as Autumn rolls around

If it’s over the top or abusive absolutely trot out the cards. But I don’t think it’s unreasonable for a decision to be explained. Doesn’t have to be a committee meeting- a quick word on the run.

The best referees and the ones who get the most respect are the best communicators who don’t just say “go away” or “I made my decision”. A lot of the time it actually diffuses the situation.

It’s probably even more important at grassroots level to have good communication. Players are more likely to accept a decision that they disagree with if they understand why it was made.

One thing I like about Rugby Union is that only the captain can talk to the ref. And even then if it isnt done respectfully they're told to bugger off. Football has a cultural problem with this ganging up on refs. I'm all for the refs taking a strong stance like rugby.

Behich got away with murder in that game, he fully abused an assistant for a free kick call to Niz when Behich ran through the back of him and then tried to head butt Kuol and somehow Kuol also got a YC. Whilst he was a Socceroo I hate how they seem to get away with this kind of rubbish. Wasn't even a very good Socceroo in my opinion.

I agree with you about him acting like a prize c..t in this game but disagree with your view of his Socceroo appearance.He has had many top performances including the R16 game against Argentina in the WC.

 

[FFC Mariner]

City are better at shithousery than us. That's our failing not theirs.
Keep jibbing at the ref until he acts.
This one didn't so they kept at it.
Fair play

He had a purple patch. Plenty of ordinary appearances in there.

Anyway with Bos and Faz around his time in the Socceroos will soon be at an end.

Too old, slow and cranky now.

 

[pjennings]

He'll be in the Asian Cup squad with Kye. Bos and Faz will be in the Olympic qualifiers.
