R20 v Brisbane @ Gosford

[Stoxxo]

I'm officially done, wake me up when we have a new owner, new coach, Hoole is gone and Kennedy is back playing over 35s where he belongs

 

[Tevor]

Simon should have been pulled, he turned the ref against the team. Should never wear the arm band again. Also set the tone and all our players looked frustrated and angry. I’m not renewing if Mulvey stays, simple as that. Dead set embarrassing to tell people you support this team.

 

[nebakke]

Yeah, f**k this bullshit, that's me done...
Club costly couldn't give less of a f**k.. players at least worked for it tonight but this embarrassing shambles just isn't with me spending money on, given that the owner seems to be unwilling to do so himself...

The referee showed a complete disrespect to the entire side. Matt Simon absolutely didn't help the situation. So happy I didn't go tonight

 

[true believer]

yeah what tonight was about is they already have west melbourne to go next season.
we'll be punted at seasons end

 

[Tevor]

I laugh at the pre game interview with Mulvey where he said the season has been embarrassing, then we watch this game. As someone said, his position is untenable. The club needs to make a decision this week. They say Joyce is under pressure, i’d love to be in the top six.

Want to change your disagree now Nabakke, he deserved a Red! Hope he gets more than a week.

The first yellow Simon got should have been a red, he plays with passion and wins knock on headers, thats about it. I love the bloke but he's not what this team needs

Nope.. can't f**king blame him... I reckon his anger was the thing keeping the team moving, and that's disregarding the three pens he was robbed of.
He was undisciplined, yes, but I think it was warranted given the circumstances and the way they've been playing lately in particular.
This is what? His second red ever?

He's what this team needs, this team isn't what the club needs though... but the team clearly needs a f**king rocket up their collective arses... every f**king week.

 

[tim...]

Equally angry at the team and the referee tonight. Did ourselves no favours, were awful, ill disciplined, but Stephen Lucas was biased and disgraceful all night.

Roar deserved winners but it's frustrating watching games like that.

 

[MagpieMariner]

I dunno about deserved winners. If we'd got the pens a lot of folk are saying we should have got, that's 5-5.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

An ill disciplined, incompetent display of total inability to play football at a professional level.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

1 win out of 20.

 

[turbo]

he turned the ref against the team

Who would have thought telling the ref he is a c*nt and you banged his mum (or whatever the going fifa insult is these days) within 10 minutes would backfire. Shit officiating though.

 

[sydmariner]

FFS I can’t believe I missed the Eminem concert for this shit.

 

[turbo]

The first yellow Simon got should have been a red

The way he went off was an example of everything wrong that filters down to grassroots. Right or wrong it needs to be stamped put up to the highest level if we want to have officials in the game.

"Don't f**ken walk away, ya f**ken dog"


Reckon Simon might be on the pine for a few weeks

 

[adz]

Disgusting behaviour from Matt Simon but then equally unprofessional from the ref, who didn't give him anything from then on (after the early incident). He should be judging based on the rules, not whether he copped a spray early on or not.
