[shipwreck]

Say what you want but atleast this game got people talking again, 10 pages and counting on the forum, pretty sure the Mel City game got to 8 and died

The forum is generally much more active and fun this year

Maybe it's because even when we lose people aren't feeling too pissed off about it at the moment. I wonder if this will translate to an effect on the Bay 16 vibe (I'm still in Melbourne)...

wtf???

I had to laugh that you even had to go to the effort of hitting the 'disagree' button on my post

 

[sydmariner]

yeah, but we'd hate Tim Cahill if he played for the Jets

He's called KING CAHILL for a reason so it doesn't matter who he plays for.

Heh - I'll bet that's how you felt about John Aloisi after "that" penalty

 

[FFC Mariner]

I've still not changed my twitter pick.

It's Matty celebrating with us after scoring at the scumdome.

Great moment and it still matters regardless

I was away and missed this game unfortunately, however I cant bring myself to watch the recorded version knowing SFC won.
From the comments it appears to be situation normal for this season, good attacking combinations, lots of potential but dodgy defending.
I am glad that TW tweaked the formation and good to see McGing rising into the CB role.
Cant control the refs, I saw lots of foul/yellow card inconsistencies in the Phoenix MV game that naturally favoured MV.
Is Posco out again this week?

 

[Gratis]

honestly the defending was pretty good - it only started to fall apart after 45mins of playing with 10 men when they tired (and Posco was off). big defensive improvement

Did Ascroft get injured? Team sheet for Sunday has him out for 3 weeks.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

It has to be said though that in a league well acquainted with poor refereeing, this was one of the more prestigiously shit displays.

I think if you show the pen to 10,000 refs, it wouldn't surprise me if our guy was the only one who thought it was not.

Anyway done now.

Wrist injury

 

[true believer]

and fitzy due to incompetence

 

[dibo]

That's a bit harsh on Fitzy. He wasn't incompetent, just a bit dumb.

“It was very disappointing to be portrayed as a diver or cheat, it’s definitely nothing that I’m about,” Fitzgerald said of his first caution.

“The second yellow (a challenge on Milos Dimitrijevic) was just a bit reckless, I shouldn’t have gone in like that already being on a yellow. The worst feeling is just leaving the boys out there knowing they’ve got 50 odd minutes to play with a man down.

The end

 

[dibo]

He's a good guy, a good player, and he's gonna come back from this unplanned break and kill it for the rest of the year.

I want him watching the match and seething, and bring that venom to the derby the week after. Get us a win in Newcastle and people will want to kiss his feet.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Kicking a few scummers and we'll forgive him
