Change of heart. Let us put a hot branding iron into the bovine swine this weekend. Give ‘em hell, Mariners.

. mmm ... beef wrapped in bacon

... if your change of heart is to move away from vegetarianism or veganism - it's not a bad start

so we'll be looking into the sun .

Bold of you to assume the sun will be out this weekend.

Birazz out. 1 game for unsportsmanlike conduct. Doesn't look like it's going to be appealed either.

 

[Ironbark]

Our cover isn't Pearce. We should be fine for a game

Apparently there is no right of appeal in FFA cup games - insanity

It’s the FFA cup. He shouldn’t have played in the first place. Should always have been the backups game

Normally I would say yes - but... Staj was always on about qualifying for Asia. The FFA Cup has an automatic spot so if Monty is looking at that also he may be balancing that thought in with rotating the squad. That said I think if City or the Smurfs win the cup I think we also qualify as the third place finisher last season

 

[Ironbark]

We had a lot of youth on, they need some wise head around them to help them develop - ala Sainsbury/Zwaanswijk

The national disciplinary regs are pretty tight - if you're shown a red card, you have to serve a match suspension unless there's mistaken identity or the referee made a decision to 'issue a Direct Player Red Card to a Player when no card was warranted'.

I read that as it's only an obvious error when a red is given when not even a yellow was warranted - I think you can clearly justify a yellow card in Birraz's case, so there's no avenue to challenge that.

got it

 

[marinermick]

Just a heads up if you get tickets in Bay 32, which is the one closer to the middle from Bay 31, it is 25% cheaper than the away bay (31).

It is also general admission so there are no allocated seats.

we have a serious deficiency in gamesmanship .as i've said already, if birra goes down without the histrionics. their guy gets a card and probably red .
maybe we need a neil killkenny school of pocket pissing

I thought the league was putting an end to this nonsense of gouging away fans.

When I have time next week I will be putting a complaint in to NSW Fair Trading

 

[marinermick]

I actually bothered to do the maths on this and a family ticket on bay 31 is 41.4% more expensive than the adjacent bay 32. $70 in bay 32 and $99 in bay 31.

They sure go about things a special way for a club looking to increase their terrible attendance numbers.
