RD 2: Roar vs Mariners

[VicMariner]

Surely a penalty? Challenge from behind, any further behind he'd be back in front.

Home ground advantage.......

 

[MagpieMariner]

Even the Fox guys said that was a penalty, but this bloody ref never gives us anything.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Just seen that penalty again in slow-mo and no doubt it was a clear penalty, and as they said the ref should have seen it clearly.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Bugger, split open again. Should be 2-1.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Neil has left Borello twice when not necessary - two goals.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Williams is worse than useless. Despite the counter punch second goal, still a good response by the Mariners in the 2nd half.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Haven't seen a lot from the Paddy, maybe time for Heff2?

 

[MagpieMariner]

Geez, how good am I, but surprised he's on for Cac.

 

[sydmariner]

He's just been subbed on 4 Cass

 

[shipwreck]

So one of our three full time ref's has missed two blatant "play on advantage" opportunities and a penalty. Hope this accountability stands up.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Oh sorry mate, didn't actually think about it, for a foreigner like me a $-sign looks the same irrespective of the origin

Not a problem mate, only 10 bucks, it's good.

 

[nebakke]

Hmmm - we seem to run well out of legs in the last 20 - same thing last weekend... Let's hope they can fix that up...

 

[MagpieMariner]

Beauty Bingham 2-1, should be 2-2.

 

[VicMariner]

Goal!!

C'mon boys, there's still time!!

 

[sydmariner]

"OH YEAH, CHAMPAIGNE YEAH"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Beaten, but certainly not disgraced. Well played boys.

 

[nebakke]

Ah, feel better about 2-1 than 2-0 that's for sure, considering how good Roar looked and how we was robbed of a Pen - there's still a bit of work to be done, but this could turn into a rather good season after all I think

 

[Mini In Bay 6]

Well that went better than expected. I'm bummed, but not as bummed as all of last season due to the fact we actually did reasonably well.


Brisbane seriously ran out of puff there at the end, Mariners had the better share of possession and chances that second half. Shame our defence is serious rocks and diamonds with nothing in-between. But still 100% better effort from the lads than all of last season.

Ashcroft summed it up well, there was good, there was bad and there was ugly. But he's a kid so as long as he improves, I'd keep him. And that's what I want to see, young kiddies who seriously bugger up occasionally getting redemption (and then become awesome players that we can make bucketloads of cash off to fund the next lot).

Also Peter Green strikes again. I'd like to think that in the age of professional referees there would be a sanction for missing an obvious pen that probably would have changed the course of the match. Nope, who am I kidding.

 

[MagpieMariner]

I'd like to get him charged under anti-discrimination laws.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Pity he's not of the same calibre of the original Peter Green, made some great music with Fleetwood Mac.
