R12 Sydney FC v Mariners

Disagree. Ninkovic was clearly diving before contact was made (for the sake of argument, let's say contact was made). Berisha is a tougher call.

I think it's round the other way. There is a bit of contact in the Ninkovic penalty, whereas the Berisha one is pure acting.

I thought there was fairly clear contact in both cases but I don't think it would have caused an issue if Ninkovic hadn't already been on his way down.
I dint think Covic caused Berisha to lose balance and I don't think it was malicious so for mine they're both bad calls.
Unfortunately I can also see why a ref would see them the way they did in the heat of the battle.

EDIT: DYAC!!!

When the competition is Izzo, Trott is a chance

. have you been strutting around in your Trott jersey hoping to get a call up? ... or ... are you just putting the feelers out now?

I could get a game

Yeah, but the contact only came after Ninkovic started his dive anyway.
Can't tell if there is contact in Berisha's or not - but Berisha was off balance from the first step, I thought (he goes down quite low on his left knee, difficult to retain balance after that).

Can see him now,
One hand - leaning on the goal post,
e-cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Thirsty? Just walks over to the Bay for a sip of someones beer, walks back.

I remember the last bloke who stole a sip of your beer in the bay....

Dukeys mate. Remember?

.....do we want to know how that ended up? ;-)

Duke was standing behind the Bay talking to some mate of his (wearing a jersey w' 'Duke' ).

I bought x2 beers, started to drink one - put the other on the ground under the seat. 10 mins into the game, his idiot mate thought he'd be smart and reached under the backboard of the Bay and 'nicked' the beer.

Johnny Cos spotted him...... 'Oi!!!' as he's taking a sip, & rushed him.
Duke's mate is all 'I thought it was my mate's ???' (It was only us regulars standing at the back of the Bay)

4 or 5 of us confronted him.
Dukey shit himself & high-tailed it out of there.

Police arrive, we tell them what he did, my nicked beer has gone flying by that stage.
Im pissed off & ready to go.

Cop said "he's mistakenly thought it was his mates beer!" , I said bullshit !
Argued with cop, that he should be arrested for theft!

Told me, "Nah mate - were not arresting him!"
"Well that's more bullshit! !!!", getting even more angrier.

COP then knocks 3/4 drunk beer out of my hand, "Right, your going!" . Now I'm down x2 beers & out of pocket $14.

1st & only time EVER, ejected from the stadium.
Reason: refusing to 'stop' reporting a crime.

Still looking for that 'Duke' jersey.
