As I already posted above.
If you think it's not a racist remark then you should spend a day anywhere in Europe and call as many Romani people 'fkn gypsies' and see how that turns out. Guaranteed you will be holding your spleen in your hand on the way back to the airport if you are lucky.
Anyway the positive out of this in Sorensen is back so our defence will be more solid as a result.
''Anyone with a European background and calls someone a gypsy knows exactly what it means, man up you pussies"
I'm European, but aren't you contradicting yourself here?

Funny you say that. I remember the first derby, I went with a mate and his missus. My mate and I were singing the "your nose was offside" to Berisha, but his missus has a big nose and she had no reaction nor did my mate care
Only kidding mate, I don't have big nose, maybe we should all harden the F* up then a little and realize this is not really in the same racial or disease basket as some make it look like. Real Aussies call our sport for pussies but now suddenly we are way out of line because of this, get a grip!
I get the sense the club acted quickly as they know the media will blow this up, I know for sure management in England will have a little giggle.
I don't approve and Dean needs to calm down and stay in goals and shut up, but I see and hear way worse on the AFL, NRLand cricket pitches on weekly basis, but I guess those sports are the real sports where drugs, alcohol, rape, wife beating and just lovely punch ups and swearing on the pitch are openly accepted!

It puts an end to the FFA love child tag (albeit mainly said to rile us up), and if people still bring it up they are just more mentally impaired than initially thought.
I've seen comments that we are still favored because Timmy only got a one game ban!

Perhaps but its no different from calling him a spastic when he doesn't have cerebral palsy, it the impact of using the term as a term of derision on people who do have cerebral palsy. There are many accurate things that you can call Berisha that specifically apply to him
That is right........I'm really offended when we sing about Berisha's nose who is always offside, it hurts as I have a big nose.

Even though Berisha does bring stuff like this onto himself, he didn't seem to let the comment get to him and if it really did offend him, we definitely would of known about it on the night
Because he is not a real gypsy and besides even his team mates and his own supporters call him that, there is even a gypsy terrace song.

Why is this so complicated. He said something he probably shouldn't during a game and in the heat of the moment. Worse has been said before and will be said in the future. Anyway he'll prob get punished and he's going to do a 'course' to teach him the ways, the club has made a statment. Move on, nothing more to see here.
Yup not complicated at all!!
"The nature of this forum" excuse me not everybody is a school teacher or wants to be politically correct, we have described our own players with worse words, I think we should all calm down - I haven't seen anything shocking on the forum for a while. The club is proactively taking action to calm down the media shit storm and we move on.
I've been watching women's AFL live tonight and believe it or not, I've heard these players scream, get up you bloody shit cunt, I was baffled!
At least we lost with a bit of fire and passion last night, something I've missed a little recently.

Why does no one care until a player says it and its coincidentally caught on camera?
I agree, put a mic on all the players and you will hear worse things than Gypsy! AFL, Cricket are no different.
Don't we miss the good old days when a black Frank Rijkaard just professionally spits in Rudy Voller's hair on camera, who is white by the way......

The Roma (commonly known as gypsys) are the most oppressed and marginalised group of Europeans. Often the victims of pogroms and physical abuse in the past (they were one of the groups targeted in the 'Final Solution') the term gypsy used in this context refers to someone unsavoury and untrustworthy. It would be similar to calling a black American a nigger.
But then again in some people's defence Besart isn't a gypsy...I couldn't care less if people called me out for a gypsy, nigger or jew - as I'm not.

Agreed. And people are forgetting that these decisions sometimes go one way, sometimes the other. In recent derbies - Finkler's free-kick clearly crossed the line but the goal wasn't given, and in the first league derby this season Cahill was in an off-side position when Brattan scored and was IMO interfering with play.
We've scored first in 15 out of 18 league matches this season if I've got the arithmetic correct. We knew we had an inadequate defence last season and did little to remedy it this season. Also add Cahill. We also play a high-press game that is bloody hard to play and last the distance in an Australian summer. Off the field there are also visible signs of poor management, so all-in-all IMO our disintegrating season is self-inflicted.
Yeah but in this instance the stadium replays clearly influenced this call - the replays on the screens were completely one sided, as our offside goal wasn't shown. You either cover them all or don't show them, surely there are rules regarding this and it just can't be up to the hosting team?
-
Is GYPSY a swear word?
-
I would like somebody to look into the fact that the replays on the stadium big screen was being used by the fourth official and opposite linesman to overrule the offside goal. The clearly informed him in his ear.
Maybe then they could have had another look at Bruno's header as he seemed onside with his feet (playing part of the body).
I didn't mind the lineup and formation, with this setup you will most games.

Still think its offside. If you are forced into playing a ball to cover a player in an offside position then they are clearly interfering with play.

Ofside or not, this goal would not have counted without the video replay on the big screen, it worked in our disadvantage tonight, this call was made with a look on the screen and yes he was offside when the ball was played, but the main ref and lines called it off offside but the other 2 had time look at the screen...followed the replay they talked to him in his ear.
-
It appears that video referrals do exist in our game, it was a clear own goal but judged offside by all referees on the attacking half until the linesman on the other side of the pitch had time to watch the replay on the screen....

Because they have no choice. FFA requirement
We bench C+ due to soreness as in not being fit, the only way around - road shows due to commercial value must play.

About as much evidence as the "we play Cahill because FFA or his contract say we have to" theory.
i don't believe that for a second either.
It is all nonsense of course!! Let's keep playing with a line up who doesn't suit our system or with a system which doesn't suit our line up.

I know, its ridiculous right! As if he wasnt the obvious choice anyway (outside of Sorensen).
Think we are drifting of the point a little.... You can't bench your captain and Cahill also seems to get a start when fit - those 2 don't work together as a 10 and centre forward should.
Personally I find Kilkenny and Sorensen better suited as a captains it would be less a distraction for their game. Kilkenny was new at the club so maybe too early but Sorenson started the season in goals as a number one.

As long as you shout i'm there
I don't know who's idea it was to him in any type of role outside of finisher because at the moment he just kills us. He's one of the best finishers ever and what do we do? Play him on the edge of the box ffs. The bloke shouldn't leave the box for the entire game, outside of going until the tunnels for half time.
I know mate, hence I get frustrated a people having a go at teenagers and fringe players, missing a real big issue in our play.
Look we need to play Cahill from the FFA and Bruno negotiated captaincy in his extension - we are just stuffed this year like this.

I was one of the few who wanted bruno as captain, i still think its a good choice. A captain in my book is not always necessary a player who has to be loud and vocal, rather someone who gives it his absolute all until the final whistle. Have a look at bruno in the 90th minute of games, he's still running up and putting pressure on the opposition goalkeepers and players. The bloke gives his all, all game, a great example for the fellow players in the squad to follow behind. I wouldn't of had an issue in fairness giving kilkenny the arm band either after seeing him play, but the fact we had all seen bruno play for us last season and we understood the type of player he is, and if he didn't display leadership qualities in his play last season, then i don't know who did. Kilkenny was a new signing and an unknown factor to so many of us, i think it was quite reasonable to give the captaincy to bruno.
Now i agree however he hasn't played as well this season as last (considering he's second in the golden boot race i find it pretty ludicrous to say and yes i understand he has scored off a lot of penalties this year but you still have to kick them in, you don't get a goal for walking up to the spot) but i feel that simply saying the burden of the captaincy is effecting his game so greatly is just a cop out for the real reason he is not having a good year: Tim Cahill
Cahill and him on the field just cannot co-exist. Cahill just clogs up all the area bruno would usually operate in, Cahill also stifles our ball movement. Last year Novillo or Mooy would be the ones working with bruno, doing cheeky one-twos with him instead, so many times Cahill gets the ball on the edge of the box, and because he is hopeless with his feet, fucks up any final or possible killer ball he could give to Bruno. Cahill will just generally kick the ball out wide if he gets it in a dangerous position, and so the game of keep things off starts again, with us passing it pointlessly around the box. This is not Cahills fault entirely can i express, if he was to come off the bench instead of being played out of position, their wouldn't be an issue, but until we have a proper number 10, Bruno will struggle.
TLDR: Get a proper number 10, get a proper Bruno
You and I should have a beer together!
C+ = C- for our field play but thanks for header goals!

Hmmmmm
A defensive 19yo midfielder, most likely to be loaned out due to visa regulations. Currently representing Venezuela U20 for the next couple of couple weeks, might be a little late for us more than likely NYC.

Love the show, keep it up!
A shame we talk 5 minutes about Brattan and Kilkenny not being able to play together in quick transition - the 2 best footballing central midfielders we have!!
We keep avoiding the real issue - quick transition football requires starting a skilled number 10.
Brattan sometimes avoids to play in our attacking midfielder (Goes side ways) because A - he is not in position and B - the ground skills aren't there to control, turn and setup play.

He should have been named captain
I think the pressure of captaincy is to great for Bruno
Agree, Bruno should focus on what he does best - you reckon Bruno negotiated captaincy in his new contract? He is an absolute example of hard work but a little odd for a non native English speaker in only his second year at the club.
Neil is very vocal and comes more across as leader.

Melbourne Derby: The XXIII Instalment......4th February 2017
in Melbourne City

We shall disagree a little on this, I attend all games regularly and I'm old but not def, really people call out worse things!
Regarding public interest, did you enjoy the A-League flare going off at the Australian open? As that was how it was reported.
