Semi-Final 14th April, Mariners v Victory

[FFC Mariner]

Wanted a Thai team in a playoff.

One day we will get to do Bangkok away. One day

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Not me Atomic. Along with an away Thailand trip, there will also one day be an Australian team that wins the ACL. Imagine being the first...

it's just possible we'll say thanks but no thanks next year, Charlesworth said they'd be weighing it up next time around

 

[ExiledMariner]

Really? That would be incredibly short sighted. The FFA should dip into the funds a bit more to help out the clubs involved and be a bit more flexible with scheduling.

That would be stupidity of the highest order ... that fellow needs to engage brain before speaking

I reckon he said it to gain leverage to negotiate exactly that

SO..this is the moment when Monty got redded...look were fkn Delovski is...what the hell did he see..cause the tackle looks pretty fkn mutual to me

 

[adz]

Was wondering the same thing. Identical tackles, even down to the facial expression.

monty's arm coming up looks like he thinks he gunna cop a kick in the head.

 

[finally retired]

but wasn't it a second yellow for Monty?...so no right of appeal

 

[ccf]

He didn't get the second yellow for the tackle - ref was going to let that go it was that Monty kicked the ball away as he walked away. Silly boy

. from my recollection that was the first ... and the ball was thrown into him / his path

I thought he ran across as the free kick was about to be taken - would have copped a 50m penalty in the AFL

 

[ccf]

He did and dragged the ball with him, hence kicking the ball away.

. that may be, but without the benefit of a replay i can only rely on what i remember seeing through my yellow tinted glasses (and i make no apologies for that)

Ease up, I haven't seen a replay either, just saying what I thought I saw and could have been wrong

 

[bikinigirl]

Ease up

. wasn't meant to be confrontational ... just stating that in all likelihood my view is biased

 

[finally retired]

yeah....but regardless, he can't appeal the yellow cards unfortunately, so no Monty this week. But as has been stated elsewhere, I think the "no Hersi" will hurt WSW more than a "no Monty" will us, even though he was easily one of the best on the park against Victory.

Damn right he was one of the best on the park against Victory.

As for how it'll effect us, I'm worried because we don't really have as tough a player as him to fill in the gap. Who will start instead, Bozanic?

 

[Wombat]

I'd start bozanic in monty's spot.
