ALW R3 VS Sydney

[Big Dog]

Gutsy but we’ve made no attempt to keep any possession after going a player down which would soak up time

Fenton is a little brat

 

[Archie]

COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[gemkayem]

DRAMA

 

[BrisRecky]

Can’t say it was boring

 

[marinermick]

Yes, yes, yes

 

[gemkayem]

How good! Clear handball. Great first save by whyman but we got to the rebound. What a game!

Well that turned into a wild ride. Who’d have thought it for a bit of ALW on a Wednesday evening

I thought it was controversial when Newcastle copped a very similar one and it stood on the weekend. Body part - hand is supposed to be no handball but apparently body part - ground - hand is, even if the ball is moving very fast and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Hand outside the natural arc of the body so handball.

Is there any better way to beat SFC

Seeing Vine being a sook when our player tried to shake hands was gold

 

[bikinigirl]

. seemed to be a few Sydney girls refusing to shake hands too

. boohoo!

. don't think our girls will be too concerned though

 

[bikinigirl]

. so will Ash Irwin have the gloves again on the weekend?

Doesn't matter if its body to hand, still not handball unless its over the shoulder from what I recall. Its such a fine distinction though. You could have top of foot to hand and its ok but bottom of foot - ground - hand and its a penalty. Very similar time <1s, no chance to react and its treated very differently.

Law says nothing about reaction time. First two points below clearly demonstrates it is a handball.

I'm not saying it does or that it isnt handball. I was making a point about how the rules treat two very similar situations quite differently just because it hits the ground however quickly before the arm rather than going direct from body to arm.

Just got back from the game, looked like Sydney might have played slightly better but that's a massive 3 points and a good fight from the women. Who was in goals for us when Sydney scored? From the other end of the stadium it looked like a regulation save?

Also amazing effort for the guy in away bay chanting all game in the rain and pissing off my Sydney FC mates!

 

[Wombat]

Saw you on TV Sydmariner. Looked a bit damp mate!

Gutsy performance. A couple of the players are a bit agricultural but total heart throughout that side and well coached.

Particularly impressed with Galic, Gomez and Wurigmula and thought Wardlow had a mighty game as well.

Oh just found out that both keepers were off. I was wondering why they were celebrating with the keeper when it seemed like she almost cost us the three points. Great job Irwin!
