mus-28 Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Popovic sets his teams up well defensively and has an unbelievably deep defence and with Keogh, Castro and Ikonomidis up top they're probably Sydneys biggest threat.

mus-28 Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Four rounds in and the Mariners defence has already been figured out. Play in crosses and Cisse and Golec will head everything clear, play the ball on the deck and they look like 2 newborn foals trying to learn to walk on ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know which is funnier - The roar player in the wall moving out of the way of the ball, or Adam Taggart forgetting how to stand upright when he was 1 v 1 with the keeper. All of Wellingtons goals were a bit unusual. https://streamable.com/doy67 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else think so? AU win 2-1, we're 6th tonight. As for Brisbane's goal, I thought it was handball but it depends on the angle you view the action. Viewing the Foxpsorts video, one possibility is that Redmayne just gets a glove onto the ball which is then deflected into McKay's chest (or chest/arm) and into the goal. The second is that it hits McKay high on the left arm and is redirected into the goal. The problem with the ball hitting McKay directly on the chest and then deflecting into the goal is that he was standing pretty much square to where the ball was coming from. Very hard to redirect the ball into the goal with only your chest when you're standing square to a fast incoming ball. If the video is not absolutely clear then the refs initial decision should stand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Perth are looking very strong indeed. IMO even Sydney and Victory are going to find it hard to catch them. Our only hope is going to be if we beat them twice at home. We just have to keep on winning to keep on the pace, but my current thinking is that we're going to finish 4th-6th. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DxMTjTPV4AAdnMc.jpg:large Anyone else think this probably issnt offside and that the line is in the wrong spot? I just re-read the rules (which arnt super clear anyway) but looking at the examples provided in the FIFA PDF, that line should be drawn along the Wanderers shoulder closest to goal, not the feet as in the fox sports photo.

jw1739 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 The problem with drawing lines like that is that they do not account for the movement of the players. I didn't watch the match, but I'd say that the Adelaide player looks to be more or less stationary, the Wanderers player to be moving back towards the goal. The Adelaide player is just about in line with the Wanderers player's arm...my decision would be "not offside" because I can't definitely say "offside." My version of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle as applied to football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they got the pen shout wrong tho; my gut feel was penalty, but it wasnt a clear and obvious error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) This reminds me of the issue sometimes surrounding photo finishes in horse racing. Angles can be very misleading and lines can be hard to draw. The linesman’s got the right line. I think the decision is within the margin of error and I’d accept the call either way.

jw1739 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 I checked up on the current wording of Rule 11 on Offside. Arms and hands don't count. Therefore the Adelaide player is offside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Wellington go down to Sydney. Newcastle now starting to control the game and should be able to win this.
