Round 25. Melb Victory Away. Yay.

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

We played Victory 8 times at this stadium for ........




8 losses.

Just to be clear, I was suggesting a 3-0 loss

surprised to see Simon as captain again

No, not really.
Jem handed Simon the armband when Simon came on first game after suspension.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Why does Graham look exhausted and disinterested already?

 

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

Slater with some actual useful comments. Questioned why we are starting players not with us next year instead of playing some youngsters.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Clisby is playing like he's completely lost.

Come on man, make us feel good about your re-signing

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Only took 18min for the atrocious refereeing to start. Honda jump-kicks our lad in the head, not even a foul let alone, you know, a red card....

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Ah there we go, a goal scored off a counter from a Simon foul that wasn't.

And then that foul on Simon that even Harper thought was rubbish.

Yep. Really getting sick of this.
I mean, jump-kicking a player in the head....that has to be AT LEAST a yellow card.

I mean, don't get me wrong. We never had a chance of winning this one - but JUST ONCE I'd like to lose of our own accord without the referees making sure of it.

Clisby needed to do a LOT better covering the middle when the players slid across too. Clisby is looking about as effective in the back line today as Simon does when he drops back.

Second time Harper has stood up for us and suggested the ref is being retarded.... Interesting

No card for the blatant shirt pull stopping Shabow running down the sideline either.

Normally I like Beath but he's disgracing himself already today.

Is it too late to put money on us copping a red?

 

[Josho Howe]

Can Shabow ask God what l did to deserve the pain this team brings me

 

[Cricko_086]

My guess, Simon to get the red in retaliation for fouls not given for him

 

[Pirate Pete]

of course he can ask. But will he get an answer?

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

I don't think there's been any player who has been as universally despised by referees as Simon. He just does not get treated fairly, it's f**king disgusting. Wasn't it him a few weeks ago and one ref apparently told him before the game not to bother diving because he isn't going to get anything? Simon has never taken a dive in his life - he's more likely to stay on his feet to keep fighting.

 

[Antlion]

I'm genuinely struggling to keep watching...

 

[shipwreck]

Can someone explain to me how the f**k that was a foul from Simon!! He turns his back and shields the ball...

 

[Pirate Pete]

I'm genuinely struggling to keep watching...

if I stop watching the missus will expect me to cook dinner, so...

 

[Antlion]

We totally deserve the spoon
