I still am not sure that it actually touched, the ball does not move position at all, it stays in the same direction... Unlike Hollands one... Surely if it had touched his hand it would have slightly changed position...

I'm with marconigirl on this.  There's no deflection.

Wow, credit where credits due! Thanks for posting that very clear video evidence that while it was close, Jedinak definitely did not handball - whereas Holland who looks quite deliberate by the way the arm goes out, vert clearly did. Very thoughtful of you floppius. I really didn't think you had it in you.

 

[infirmus]

Perhaps this is the handball that the linesman saw and Aloisi overheard the him talking to the ref about. Hence no penalty.

Explain Jedinaks very quick withdrawal of his arm
[edit]
Not to mention the fact that the Hollands handball does not look intentional at all and it was going to hit him square in the head anyway. Its not like the ball was goal bound or anything.

 

[soccersensei]

No not goal bound, just heading toward what looks to be maybe Hutch's head and if missed then will fall to the next two in line, which also just happen to be yellow...

Looked to me like hutcho was just pushing into Holland in hope that it would fall back and a miracle would occur. Either way, the final decision is up to the ref, thats the way it's always been. "Play till the whistle"

The ball hitting Hollands hand is obviously accidental and as I said before he still headed it away, a fact which you conveniently ignored. Aloisi still got onto the end of it anyway and wasted it.

BTW you may wish to change your avatar to a sinking ship now that the GF is over.

ROFL
if it was going to hit him in the head then why does the dirty judas c**t see the need to stick his arm at it

it looks like infirmus and b-rad have got their dial up working at their housing commission, wonder how long it is until mum and dad number 5 forget or cant afford to pay the bill and it is cut off again

Thats the whole point, he doesnt need to stick his arm out, hence it is clearly accidental.

Classy. Lets compare our connection speed e-penises. I have 8Mbit, how about you?

And Jedinak's not even facing the ball! Even if the ball did glance his arm, how could it be anything but accidental?

 

[~Floss~]

The path of the ball clearly isn't affected by Jedinak's hand; no way the ref could call that contact. But look at it after it hits Holland's arm! ROFL

Hi Guys, this is my first post and I'm sorry if it is not on the right forum.
My son and I have been going to the games since preseason year 1. We were at the the first grand final, as we were at the game on sunday. The reason I wanted to place this post is to say thank you to a Marinator.
After the loss my son was so upset, he walk ahead of me and was crying. The young man who spent the afternoon with the megaphone encouraging us all to join in the chants, was walking beside him. He looked down saw how upset he was, he put his arm on his shoulder and told him not to worry, "We will get them next time" he said. He then gave him his marinator's scarf.
It may not sound like much but it meant a lot to my son and is a act of kindness that I wont forget. My son is already talking about the next season and of joining the Marinators.
Thank you again, your act typifies what the Mariners are all about.
The Jets (netball team) may have won the toilet seat on the day , but your act has won a supporter forever

 

[skilbeck]

I think that is Brett You have to thank, unless someone else was on a megaphone at a time, again a good story about us that doesnt make the headlines.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Stezac - thanks for that fantastic story, and sincere thanks for actually making the effort to come on here and post your thanks.

It's a pity you came online at a time when there's so much trolling, but your post is certainly a pleasant distraction. 

Whoever that was, good on you, mate.
