WTF izzo is in goals

Based off last week, I'm more concerned about Posco being on the bench for Rosie at CB.

Not that I'm particularly exited about Izzo in goal but I think he's deserved a benching more after other games.

Bay 15 taking the piss out of izzo. Never seen a section of the crowd laughing at one of our players

 

[true believer]

Jesus the ref is a 1st class stooge

 

[true believer]

Its got to be izzo's last game

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Id be feeling hopeful if I was Bray.

Crowd all laughing and jeering when he kicked it in not out was not something ive seen before.

We've been truly spoilt when it comes ro great keepers here though.

 

[shipwreck]

We suck.

 

[nebakke]

Wtf though! ? Can anyone put on black and walk on as a referee? All four of them were ridiculous tonight. Linesman on the Western side only made two calls without getting direction from the ref first, guy on eastern side spent more time looking at the ground when running than he did observing the f**king game... just ridiculous

 

[FFC Mariner]

Agree the officials weren't great but I'm not sure we would have done much better if they were good

That's a fair point, although I haven't watched the replay yet but fow I didn't think a better ref would have given Neill a yellow so he stays on which for mine means that we have less of a defensive shortage at the back which potentially means no second goal.
I actually thought born goals were offside at that but haven't watched the replay so probably shouldn't whinge about that yet ;-)

 

[pjennings]

I'll watch the replay before commenting in detail but I thought both Neill yellows were from dives (yet to check). My son asked Muscat how much was it to join his diving academy - it got a good laugh - even from the cops and security and got under Muscat's skein - so he was happy.

 

[nebakke]

Just watched the highlights reel and I'm still questioning the goals tbh... Berisha was a tight call but, he was goal-side of our last defender and the ball going sort of forward, so can't see how he could not be offside.
More so with the three breaking free at their second, I thought interference was a reason for offside these days, Archie pulls Posco along.

And, I agree on Neill's cards, although I actually thought the first one was more of a stumble than a dive, but that's me

 

[soccer mad]

What shit did I encounter today and not even talking about
the send off. Our team has no idea transition to attack is so slow the amount of ball that was hoofed forward in hope of finding an attacker but met by Delphierre was beyond a joke ,and to Victory team that weren't on song today who knows what the result could have been . We were all over the place defensively in midfield and as for attack how chances did we create , Did Vukavic have to make a save today.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Nope. We failed to get a shot on target.

Only 1 last week as well.

we might of had 11 men for a start !
by the 2o minutes mark they should had 3 guys on yellow card.
but that cock head was only ever gunna card our guys

I've never openly ragged one of our players at a game .
I didn't hold back today .
izzo has way to many technical deficiencies for a top line keeper .

 

[Big Al]

Posco was awesome. Had FBK in his pocket.
But suffers white line fever at half way. Scared to push on, had massive whole with Fab in front and just stopped.

Roy was his usual hustling self but should have buried that early chance but given nothing after that.

Garcia was fouled out of the game.

Victory used there arms in every contest on high balls and got away with murder.

Neill pulled shirt on first yellow as Jai got past him. Couldn't see 2nd

I was giving FBK cat calls whenever in ear shot.
I saw posco after the game and told him he beat him hands down .
