Visitors v Brisbane shortly. No Berisha for Brisbane, huge loss. Even without his goalscoring abilities his workrate and pressure he puts on the defence will be impossible to replace.

[hedaik]

The man in the moon called, he wants his atmosphere back

[mus-28]

0-0 at H/T. Visitors looked the better in the opening 15, Roar looked the more likely in the final 15. 

 

Can see Ben Williams having a big influence in this game at some point.

It was a good first half I thought, but didn't reach great heights from there.

 

Theo fucked up badly for the goal. I thought he should've been out earlier to clear it. Ended up in no man's land and then beaten through his legs.

 

I don't think there's another player in the league who is as important to their side as Berisha is to Brisbane. Won't play next week which makes a result more likely for us.

 

And pretty poor crowd considering the sides and all the publicity during the week. Would've expected close to 30,000. I wonder if people stayed home to watch on TV.

This is the truth if I've ever seen it, they're a completely different team without him. 

 

But yeah, not as good a crowd as they were anticipating I'm sure.

[mus-28]

They looked toothless in attack without Berisha. Surely this will force their hand into looking for another striker, and one of better quality than Antonio Murray who Mulvey wanted to sign from Brisbane City.

[mus-28]

Sydney look like they would struggle to score if they were playing against the Royal Institute of the Blind.

There's far better players plying their trade in the VPL.

[fastfly100]

No Sydney player look up for it

[Jimmy]

Hope you're having fun Richie.

[Nate]

Del Piero FC keep telling us that they aren't a one-man team, yet they do nothing but play like it when they're missing their main man.

[Sash]

Yeah Sydney look well off the pace still. But WSW have exactly the same look about them as last year. Apart from Juric I think that team had no changes from last year. And they still look very hard to beat.

Spiranovic and Santalab the other ins, they're even stronger on paper than last season if anything

[kingofhearts]

Hope you're having fun Richie.

Him and his mate thompson are having a hell of a time       

 

The look on farina's face when he saw that he had to sub thompson on was priceless.

[n i k o]

Thompson doesn't belong in the same sentence as Garcia. He was let go by the club and doesn't deserved to be ridiculed for Sydney's result. Garcia deserves every bit of it though.

[Nate]

0-0 draw between Welly and Newcastle.

It wasn't the worst game in the world but I'm tipping both of them to finish bottom 3.

[Tommykins]

Been some awful tackles so far in this one.

[Tommykins]

How on earth is Polenz still on the park.

[Footballism]

How on earth is Polenz still on the park.

Should have had two yellows and a straight red. Absolute hack.

Elrich's defending for WS's goals was horrible.

Decent game though, pity Adelaide couldn't hold onto a draw.

[mus-28]

Tomi Juric not doing his chances of a call up against Costa Rica any harm.

[Jestr]

How good is their crowd!!!!

Outstanding

[HeartFc]

Glad we stayed away from that Tomi Juric bloke, absolute spud cake.

[malloy]

TWG highlights refer to RBB as Red and Black Brigade multiple times..

[Dylan]

so far I think sydney the better team, perth only look good in parts mainly through Sydney mistakes although they are 1-0 up from another great call from the referee

Edited November 2, 2013 by Dylan

[Luke]

Even Sydney manage to look half competent against Perth  

[mus-28]

woah, Davies tackle on Garcia, pretty much like back in the school yard running up to your mate and giving him a corky.

[jw1739]

Yes, referee Ben Williams decides another game by handing out a penalty.

Yes, referee Ben Williams decides another game by handing out a penalty. The linesman made the mistake by not giving offside so he was right to play on, as if it wasn't a penalty. Are you guys tripping?

[mus-28]

Pasfield should've held Burns shot, it was trickling towards him.

[mus-28]

What was Arnold thinking Pasfield and Reddy as his keepers.

[heartofmelbourne12]

Handball here we go again

[jw1739]

CCM come back from 0-2 down again.

[Nate]

What was I thinking having both of the brain damaged numpties in my fantasy team! Sheesh.

I am comming from the situation where he would have been called offside and the whistle blown and even if he did play on and still get taken out technically play has stopped because of the whistle (am not 100% sure on the rules with that) 

 

but if it wassnt offside originaly, definitly a penalty.

[sheepdog]

Dont think im standing up for the cunt, but his call was right. It was the linesman that got it wrong

[Young Polak]

so already mv up 1-0 in 9 minutes.

tbh Heart should have done similar shit to the management roles as to what mv have done.

should have johnny as assistant manager and observe an experienced manager do his work and not fucking throw him in the deep end straight after retiring from playing football

[Footballism]

Pretty sure that was offside and might have been handball. The state of refereeing in this league is beyond a joke, it seems like more games are being decided by ref decisions than not.

What's with fox not showing a replay of the offside or handball either but rather the deflection over and over ffs?

Aloisi was youth team coach for a year before getting the senior job.

The board considered him a better option than the Assistant Manager Milicic.

[Footballism]

And 2-0, game over right as I post that ffs

[kingofhearts]

Why don't we ever got goals like that ffs.Ramsay would've missed that btw

[mus-28]

Can't believe nothing's been made of Thompson's opening goal last night, when the ball took the deflection of Traore he was well offside. Instead FOX Sports decided to spend all the time focussing on whether it took a deflection of Durante on its way into the back of the net.
