Round 16 - Sheep-shaggers v Mariners

[tuftman]

beat me 

Great minds think alike

 

[A.J.V]

i am still extremely angry!!!!! last year we got all 9 points against them and this year we only got 1 and couldnt score a goal against them, think about it 3 games against wellington and not 1 goal!!!!!!

 

[bjw]

f**k that.

How many free kicks did Hutch win?
How many chances do we want to score?

 

[Rowdy]

No cohesion, everyone seemed out of sync majority of time.

 

[Marquee]

Prob the most frustrating mariners game I've ever watched. We totally dominated, yet couldn't score. We won a lot of free kicks and really didnt make them pay.

Wilko - I felt was outstanding at the back today. Finally has found his feet again and put in a great performance IMO.

Adrian - Does great build up work but once he gets to the box he runs out of options and loses possession.

Heff - Started very very shaky and reluctant to shut down players on the wing, which led to the goal. After 25 mins or so, got into the game and showed some nice skills but still very rusty.

Bojic - solid once again. Defense didn't have a great deal to do.

Danny - Great to see him get stuck into his defense especially the first 15 mins. Saw him telling them to "wake the f**k up", which they desperately needed to do at the time.

i am so pissed off right now! i f*cking hate the phenix they are so inconsistent they lose to adelaide 6-1 then beat us 1-0 ,how the F*CK didnt we score they are so lucky!! and that knocks us out of the top 4 because sydney have the buy (perth) this week!!!!!! im sooo f**king angry       

Perth wont be as easy as you think specially the way the Choppers are playing.

Perth wont be as easy as you think specially the way the Choppers are playing.

More like: Perth are woeful away from home, but an exception will be made for trips to Sydney and Newcastle.

 

[MrCelery]

out muscled

That's exactly the word I'd use tonight. We were simply ordinary up front tonight. Some lovely lead up work for a few spells, but that's about all considering our dominance. Not sure how much the wind was a factor.

Apart from the goal, we were rarely troubled at the back.

Roll on next week, and 3 points against the Scum. Not too confident on this effort though, it must be said.

 

[Razorback]

f**king DIRE!!!

Thank God I didn't pay to go to that game I would have had to ask for my money back.

Soild effort from Hutch though... I wonder if Serious will agree

 

[FFC Mariner]

Ur kidding? He was the one who stopped our forward momentum time after time and allowed them to get behind the ball.

Get ball
Stop
Turn
Turn again
Now covered by 3 players & attack breaks down

ps his passing was shit too

 

[serious14]

That was quite simply the most insipid, heartless, gutless, and piss-weak display I have ever seen from this football team.  They should give their paycheques from this game to charity - this was nothing short of f*cking disgusting.

Our "tactics" are an abomination, and is it so painfully obvious that McKinna has favourites within the squad - to the detriment of our chances of winning a football game.

Razorback - you know full well what I think, his presence on the field yet again contributed nothing (whoa, _two_ attacking runs this week - watch out), and the continued sycophantic efforts of some on this forum to continue to line up to suck him off week after week when he......... look, you know what, I'll settle with "he's shit, contributes nothing, and is a disgrace to the jersey".  Anything else I'd be accused of bias or some shit again.

Wilko's defence was an improvement, but a constant reliance on hoofing it long......... it's not a f*cking tactic.

The substitutions of Simon and Caceres....... *shakes head*

We are going to get murdered in Asia.  Might want to start preparing ourselves for that now.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Much as I hate the bastard, Kossie is right when he says "when you play the Mariners you know what you will get".

1 dimensional is being kind really

THIS.

AND THIS.

Wait, next is away to Newcastle...... f*ck.  Well, top four was fun while it lasted.

 

[gull]

We lost an away game 1-0 in terrible conditions to a team that has good home form this year after creating a million chances. Sometimes things just don't go your way.

The worst thing that could have happened is to concede so early as they could just sit back and defend. They were time-wasting after 20 minutes which says it all really.

The sky hasn't started falling in just yet.

 

[Marquee]

What are the stats of just Matty and Dylan playing up front?
I remember in the preseason people were calling for these two never to be played together in a front two as they are too similar. Seems that was abit of a problem today and we needed some variety up front.

 

[Wombat]

Haven't seen game as just got back from works drinks.  Saw a couple of hazy minutes and Bojic looked terrible and the boys looked clueless and Jedi looked shite too.  Am i too pissed or did two of our best have shockers and was that as fair indication how bad we were?????

 

[fish]

a little from column a and a little from column b sir

 

[marinersman]

Absolutely diabolical crap. One point and no goals against a very ordinary side. Lawrie has been absolutely pawned by Herbert this season.

I said during the week, I thought we were serious title contenders. Well I take that back.

Looking over the season so far, you have to say we haven't shown enough to win the league, far too many bad performances and we shouldn't be in the four at the moment and probably won't be after Sunday.

Hutcho was disgraceful again and it's time Lawrie stopped playing favourites. He should be watching from the stands. I wouldn't even have him on the bench.

 

[Jorome Alexander Bennett]

There is a bit of over reaction here, imo.

They got an early goal and shut us out well.
We had real good spells of football. We dominated. Just didn't score today.
I think we can be extremely frustrated, but not angry.

We are not good enough for back to back Premierships.
Hopefully, we can win the Championship, which I think we are good enough to win.
