RD 4 Mariners V Sydney FC

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Ref has no balls, ripped off on another pen.

That's gotta be up there with the worst decision of the competition so far this season. Keeper should have been sent and us up 2-1. We wouldn't have seen the frustration that led to that second yellow card either.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

It was very late though, he never had a chance of winning that challenge. But given the elbow was down, I think a borderline yellow at worst - not one you'd give for a second yellow.
That yellow right near the end - justified, but again he missed the SFC foul a moment before it.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Games like this we need real leadership on the field though, get frustrated and keep earning yellow cards as a result and the match will just keep spiralling downhill. Happens all the time, at all levels.

Was Fitzys first yellow for diving? Not much in that at all

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Yeah looks like it. Fox didn't do a clear replay of it, but from the long shot it looked like it could have been a dive - and he didn't seem to complain too much.

Pity Brosque got away with his dive early in the match though (when he pretended to be elbowed in the head).

2nd dive this game from Brosque. Cheating scumbag. Looked like a possible second missed penalty for CCM too but Fox didn't replay it

Neill is f**king rubbish

 

[sydmariner]

Mat simon's just scored

 

[sydmariner]

WTF he's just scored again

 

[scoober]

Arnold. Sorry no respect, you're a fwit

 

[VicMariner]

We were flying when we scored our goal but then the penalty not given and the red card soon after took the wind out of our sails.

We look like we have improved though.
The more I see of O'Donovan the more I like him.

Matt Simon. What can you say?

Ref ruined it.

 

[Blackadder]

Defence looked much better with Rose back in the side.
If the ref was semi-competent , may have been a different result but not to be.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Matt Simon's 2 goals were identical to each other, except that one was a kick and one was a header. Exact same move down the wing, exact same cross. First one, Izzo had it covered but it copped a deflection. Lack of fitness and speed in the back cost us on both of those. CCM lost focus in the first half and never regained it.

Arnold is a dick.

 

[greenlig]

McGing was really good I thought. Sinking feeling as soon as that pen wasn't given.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

We didn't create much at all in that 2nd half...

 

[Gratis]

Angry and heartbroken.
Happy with the effort and quality from the boys.
Furious at the refereeing.
Matty deserved his answer to us letting him go, and showed we shouldn't have.
Gutted at the result.
The aerial shiits are back to the top of my most hated bunch of niggly, dirty ars*bags.

 

[sydmariner]

I knew that this'd happen that mat simon'd put 2 past us which is why we should NEVER have let him go

 

[shipwreck]

Lol well that absolutely hurt going down.

 

[Wombat]

Ref worse than Shields and Breeze combined.....what an absolute cheating c**t.
My friend who is a Sydney member rang to apologise for the missed penalty and joke send off.
I said what do you expect when your owner pays his wages.

 

[FFC Mariner]

I'm done.

I know why I hate Sydney more than anyone.

We were awful in the 2nd half. Fabio was invisible, Roy gets worse each week and Neill....

f**k it

 

[true believer]

probably the most incompetent ref in a supposed professional league .
we were mugged by a school boy .
