ALM Semi 2nd leg v Smurfs (Our Paradise)

[FFC Mariner]

That ball was on the field for 60 seconds before Storm touched it, play was moving towards the second live ball, storm kicked it, how do you cop a Yellow for kicking a ball that's on the field? You can say his intent was to stop play, doesn't change the fact the ball was in the field.

Isn't the correct ruling. Stop play and a drop ball?

 

[Blackadder]

Didn't think he would be that bad!

Worst refereeing performance I've ever seen (and I've seen Matthew Breeze and Ben Williams). Some shocking calls against both teams!

Is there a bigger douchebag than Talay (not named Rudan) in the league.

Brattan ?

ONCE AGAIN...that drooling moron of a nitwit whistle blower f**kED everything, Faghani is a absolute disgrace, the man has his own f**king rulebook , his probably here cause he got chased out of Iran by the football fans, and as for the idiot who thought hiring him was a bonz thought , he , she or they need Centrelinking NOW....as for the game, could of been better BUT it matters not a jot, we got the GF in Gossie on a Saturday , I should of moved earlier , it could of happened sooner...still, swings and roundabouts

oh and Danny , when f**kwit red carded you , you should of just walked over , stood next to Talay and said " I aint going unless this whining f**k goes too"
COYY

. he seemed to be thinking: 'should a pop over and kick it out ... no, that will put me (the team and the tie) in a vulnerable position because play could then continue with me out of position'

. his best option was to force the issue which he did

To be honest - after watching the replay that is all that there is. The rest were correct calls (or at the very least not clear and obvious errors).

Brattan's handball was off the chest not the arm. Brian bounces off an offside Gomes before he tries (probably unsuccessfully to clear off the line - but there was not enough to even prove that).

The only real controversial one was when the ball hit Max. VAR deemed it was in a natural position. I suspect if Faghani had given it then it wouldn't have been overturned. So in that decision we were lucky he didn't call it.

Quick question for our refs. Does the ref have the remit to tell Danny to sit down. I thought IFAB ruled that only one person in the box should be standing. MJ was sitting down (having already received a yellow).

I agree that the Max one was controversial, and while it wouldn't be overturned if it was given, I think it was the right call. Now, the only real angle we have is side-on which is the worst possible view, but looked like his arm was fairly close to his side and no chance to react, so it shouln't be given. But if it was, it wouldn't be a clear and obvious error. But yes, we wer lucky and I was very nervous until play was restarted that it could be a VAR call. We've seen less get overturned, and more not get overturned.

The issue with the refereeing wasn't the couple of big calls - it was every other call.

As for the 'sit down' bit - that's not in the LOTG. The LOTG only state that only 1 team official can convey tactical instructions at any time. I know a lot of competitions have this 'only 1 can stand' rule, but I hate it - it's not in the LOTG.

Then to give 2nd YC because he started to sit down, went up again slightly then sat down....FFS, just disgraceful refereeing in every way. Not to mention it came off the back of a period of Faghani refusing to penalise a number of blatant fouls.

It's funny how we've all forgotten last weekl's refereeing performance which was absolutely atrocious....but it was bad in a different way. That one was just bad as in 'ref's clearly not got his head in the game'. This was bad as in, anybody except the match assessors and coaches who has watched Faghani, knew it would go like this.

I felt like there was one period of time where he was definitely getting really one-sided....probably not an intentional bias, but seemed like we got frustrated, started demonstrating that and he got offended and didn't stay impartial. Wasn't until a while later when we calmed down that we started getting a couple of decisions. Even the commentators were commentating that we finally got one (then later on their SFC bias returned)

Nah, best option was to leave it be. If SFC went down that wing, play would be stopped, so it's only helping us. Basically a traffic cone defender Kicking the ball up into play would, of course, earn a card.

I was a member for 15years, the 2 I haven’t been is this season and last. Circumstances change, didn’t feel like a real member not being able to go to every home game.

Isn’t it like $2 a month for a membership with benefits, without season tickets? “Can’t get to home games” is exactly why they did that! I can’t see an excuse now. But yes, if you are fine with that, you wait for the public sale.

Yeah I checked that this morning, went over and gave Faghani a gob full. I find this amusing that the team he helped so much with little calls still complained about him. Just like Talay the flog. They lost it in game 1 simple as that.

. not trying to be argumentative - but you are placing unwarranted faith in Faghani (that he would have stopped play) ... more likely that he would have thought 'well i know which is the live ball so we don't have a problem'

. to my uneducated eye the play had already come close enough to the second ball ... and nothing was done

I live in QLD, been a paying non ticketed member for the last 8 years. It's $36 a year (or whatever) which is down from the $50 it use to be. I literally went to my first home game this weekend. I go to the nearest away games when i can, i engage regularly on this forum, i follow the team on socials. I still feel like a real member.

They wanna sort out the $6.50 fee first.

 

[true believer]

Faghani refs differently from all the others and THAT is a problem.

Faghani refreeing style is a player saftey hazard .
The club should demand his removal on oh&s grounds . Highlighting doka getting kicked in the head and his inability to deal with it.

 

[Michael]

So you wait until Tuesday then.

Nah, I’ll be getting them Monday buddy

 

[shipwreck]

Well here is hoping that it's King for the final

Im not a Faghani fan but to be fair he didnt get much apparent support from his assistants. They may have been talking I don’t know but the continued shithousery from both teams (mainly Sydney) affected the game. At the very least they both should have flagged for fouls.

There was one clear one near us in the corner that the assistant clearly flagged for a foul and Faghani completely undermined and overruled him. The assistant would not be game to flag again.

After every thing that happened it all came down to Fagharni not calling the penalty on Max and VAR for one of the first times this season not trying to interfere.

As horrendous as Fagharni was and he was atrocious we got the calls that matter.
