R16 v Brisbane Roar (H)

That should have been a stonewall penalty - clear handball on the line. Much like last week....heck, much like the big blue, VAR seems to be missing

Have we used up all our VAR tokens for this season

Have we used up all our VAR tokens for this season

we didn't get any.....even that MV match, VAR got as much wrong as right, and we should have had a clear penalty last week for one of our blokes being headbutted in the back of the head. VAR should have issued an extra 2 direct red cards in the big blue as well. Maybe somebody lost the power cable or the login password?

Shame there's no one here to watch! Lucky to crack 3000 to be honest!

Last week's match hurt.
Imagine if we won and carried momentum after MV. Crowd would have been double

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

That was actually nice by Tommy

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

That 'We sing for yellow' chant at T43 got some good numbers behind it. Nice.

Whoever the active lads are today, bloody fantastic effort!

Just switched on. How was first half? We looked strong but typically useless in final 3rd

 

[true believer]

Muzz looks sharper
Stens groin ?
Even clisby only stuffed up once

More movement needed on corners

Bira is gold

Not a lot to like in the first half, Brisbane had the better of the chances and only Birraz really keeping us in it. Before the match Bozza was talking about whether there’s a lack of responsibility in defending with us often having numbers at the back but getting out played because everyone assumes someone else will do it. I don’t often agree but he might be right there.

Likes
Niz determination to press high, but picking the right time to do it
We're getting a lot of ball to Duric today and he's orchestrating a lot of attack
DDS doesn't seem a headless chook today, picking when to run and when to pass early

Dislikes
The few chances we've given them have been too dangerous
We haven't scored
Agree that Birra took an unnecessary risk letting that shot in

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

still way too many errors in defence. Players just falling asleep and not even attempting to stay on their man or block passing lanes. We'd be getting our arse kicked by any half decent team.
ziggy is just.....ergh.
We need a CB who a) knows where to actually stand an b) isn't afraid to get right up the other defenders whenever they're shit.

I'd like to see Simon on fairly soon. He's usually running all over the park these days and that could realy help us.

The kye rowles sauce picture is pretty good

Not sure how Kim gets admitted and stens stays in but happy for nissy to get a run.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Bira has, far and away, been our best signing this season. He single-handedly has kept us off the bottom of the ladder - and it shows how critical he is (and how leaky our backline is) on his occasional off game.

JEZUZ f**k SOMEBODY GET IT IN THE GODDAMN NET

 

[Insertnamehere]

Our season right there in 10 mins of play...

 

[Insertnamehere]

Happy for niz. But wrong player out.

So Pete, you'd rather GG start over Kim.?

Jair and SS on the bench but sub on Simon? Staj has f**king lost it
