ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.
1000%Every one can say it's one player or another that contributed to the loss, but only one person on that pitch awarded a very stupid goal.
God I f**king hate Ams.
Won't be surprised if he gets called in for the FFA Cup, with his ability to avoid logic to chase the bigger team.
Didn't see a single replay on that either.Did that reply show the ball hitting the arm on the goalline Marco shot. Would that not have been a red card and penalty- just before the Oli goal?
Agree with everything except Moresche. Moresche is great, he'll provide a tonne by end of season@marinermick apology, you were right, Moresche ain't going to cut it. @Dobbie no apology, you were wrong Moresche is not a starting 11 player.
Kurt Ams changed that game. He called HB on Fazz and if he didn't it doesn't get overturned. His hand was not in an unnatural position and didn't make his body bigger. Knew nothing about it. It's not handball (as i know it, you can all go and get f**ked with the rule is this and that) He forced the linesman to change his decision on the offside on Bobo and if he didn't VAR doesn't overturn it. The c**t is f**ked
Why can't he be answerable to this question, I mean I would love ( just as I think alot of people here) just to understand his train of thought.What was Ams logic in over ruling his assistant for the original offside?
Yep Ams told VAR all game what the decisions would be, he must be Superman to know Bobo was on side and no one apparently touched the ball. He was too determined on all those decisions.@marinermick apology, you were right, Moresche ain't going to cut it. @Dobbie no apology, you were wrong Moresche is not a starting 11 player.

Moresche just isn't a wide player. The only gripe I have with him is he seems to drift in and out of games whereas Urena (and Cummings for that matter) seem to be constantly involved. I'm still not sure what to make of him but he's certainly not starting ahead of Cummings based on what I've seen.@marinermick apology, you were right, Moresche ain't going to cut it. @Dobbie no apology, you were wrong Moresche is not a starting 11 player.

Dissenting opinion here....I actually think it's completely appropriate in some situations. Such as this one - ref isn't disputing the relevant positions, but whether there was interfering or whether the person in the middle touched it.I've never seen a ref run over to a linesman who had raised his flag for offside.
That's insanely unprofessional, like his whole job is judging offside... Now either Ams knew that Donache missed it, which I f**king doubt. Or he was pressuring him into changing his mind which is what happened
Yeah but with Ams suggestion that it was not off side then makes the VAR only decide on an obvious error which it couldn’t. It’s arguable that if the offside remained then the VAR wouldn’t over rule that either. Ams changing the decision was critical IMO. And he knew that.Dissenting opinion here....I actually think it's completely appropriate in some situations. Such as this one - ref isn't disputing the relevant positions, but whether there was interfering or whether the person in the middle touched it.
Other cases would be the ones where there's a player interfering with an opponent but not touching the ball.....ref probably has a better view of, say, whether the keeper is blocked, but AR is the one who points out the possible infringement.
Problem here is that we don't know if the VAR said 'no touch in the middle' or if they said 'because our cameras are recycled from ten years ago I can't actually tell' - because if he can't tell, then original ref decision stands - in this case, goal.
Heck, I know sometimes when I've been AR I've had to stand still and call the ref over to say 'I can't tell who touched it in the middle there, but if it was Gosford, then the goalscorer was offside'
This 100%It’s pretty average that coaches can’t comment honoustly without getting fined.
5 minutes stoppage farce.
What does the Var actually see to make decisions.
If Paramount/A-League can’t afford to let fans see the decision making process (aka bunker) maybe just be rid of VAR cause more frustrating than just getting a bad call at this point.
We've literally just signed a new striker. Who's your starting 11?@Dobbie[/USER] no apology, you were wrong Moresche is not a starting 11 player.
Hopefully. But now, I don't see it. Once Cummings gets up to speed he doesn't make the 11 and Nizzy is 10 miles infront of him on the wingAgree with everything except Moresche. Moresche is great, he'll provide a tonne by end of season
Yeah he isn’t a winger, he didn’t look happy to be hooked at half time. Some man management required. I still like him so want to see him succeed for us.Hopefully. But now, I don't see it. Once Cummings gets up to speed he doesn't make the 11 and Nizzy is 10 miles infront of him on the wing
Yeah this is what I think he’s done. Assistant raised flag on the assumption of a touch which puts Bobo offside. If ams saw he didn’t he communicated that and changed the decision.Dissenting opinion here....I actually think it's completely appropriate in some situations.
