Popular Post n i k o Posted August 30, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Grant was onside. Beath is a fucking shit ref. Unless he's standing directly behind Redmayne there had to be reasonable doubt that Wales interfered at all. He wad 3 or 4 metres away and didn't come cost to impacting the shot. And while I'm at it he clearly chose to ignore giving Grant a second yellow for a black and white yellow for lifting his shirt over his head. Fuck you Beath. Fuck you.

kiko Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Overall a strong season, club is making strides, next year will be interesting with the salary cap reduction coming into play, maybe our junior program will hold us in good stead b/c of it, it's probably Paddy K's time to come in and build on a very strong apprenticeship, so all positive from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney were controlling the game and were really starting to make us look like an old Heart team that crumbled under any pressure. I think metcalfe coming on gave us a bit more stability in midfield and allowed us to attack more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJV Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 I'm not too disappointed in Wales tonight, it's not his fault, he is simply playing at a professional level to high for his limited skillset. He is an NPL footballer and nothing more. Noone on the other hand has no excuses. How has this man managed to play at an EPL and championship level? He has absolutely zero composure for a 31 year old forward, it's bizarre. He put away 4 goals and 9 assists this season but has been so underwhelming in general play. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Ok. I wasn’t going to post about the game because I’m 3 sheets to the wind, but then I thought, who cares. Really good season. Gutsy performance in the grannie. Should of won, shafted by that tool of Satan, (the VAR), and the standard of A League refereeing. Ultimately those cunts from Sydney were the best team all year and I guess there’s some rough justice In them being gifted the dunny seat. Next year, who the fuck knows. My plan is to get hammered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he arrived he was easily the worst forward i can remember for us, and I was asking the same questions. Then he improved markedly ... but tonight he really was found out. The fact JMac was almost anonymous in the last 75 minutes speaks volumes for their defence too (sadly). We should have run them off the park from half-time on given our quieter last few weeks.....

The positions of Berenguer and Luna as forward minded and pressing midfielders requires skill to get pass your first man and / or create opportunities with either killing assists or creativite moves - he's got the forward press but what about the rest? You wonder why players like Jmac look lonely, well it sits with those two forward mids a lot of times. my analysis is based that he is a visa import by the way.

Harrison Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Well we came close but we just weren’t good enough. It hurts. They were always going to be a different team with Grant. We beat them without him but he’s a quality RB and it showed tonight. Brattan with the assist stings too. It was a nice cross and we lacked it all night. Thought the goal should’ve been disallowed so I can’t complain. Thought Grant could’ve been carded for the two shirt lifts though. Thought Beath was ordinary. Thought Harper was unbearable. Whatever. Feel sorry for the guys. I know they gave it everything and being in the hub wouldn’t have been easy. Having said that, a few of them didn’t really turn up tonight. Wales tries but really lacks the quality necessary to be a good, consistent player. Maclaren was invisible and when he doesn’t get it to his feet or head in the box he is a passenger. Best finisher in the league but he can’t link up play. Noone was frustrating all night. For a player who has PL experience he too often makes the wrong decision or doesn’t have the skill to make the right one. Berenguer was disappointing. Luna works harder than any other player but isn’t a match winner. Brillante got better the longer it went on, Metcalfe worked into it and threatened a bit. The other subs were non-existent or didn’t do much when they had it, except for Galloway, who came closest. Don’t blame them though, they’re inexperienced kids coming into a GF. Our defence really held up well. Curt would be annoyed with his headers. Had three and couldn’t make any count. Glover outstanding. Please don’t leave Erick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad I’m not the only one who admits to Jmac biggest disadvantage. What you’ve pointed is the reason Europe is a level to far for him, a lot more is required nowadays from a modern striker than just being a fox in the box. A simple one two goes often more wrong than right, which is costly in the matches when your attacking partners aren’t in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't agree more regarding our visa players. Compared to the likes of LeFondre, Barbarouses and Ninkovic, our attacking visa players are so uninspiring it hurts. Not a single match winner amongst them, or a player that can turn a match on its head with a bit of brilliance like Berisha, Diamanti or Castro. In truth, we haven't had a longterm visa player on that level since 2015/16, yes we have had guys like McKormack and Bart, but far to many players like Budzinski, Cabrera, Luna, Berenguer Colazo etc. All good 'technical' players tidy on the ball, but can they take a game by the scruff of the neck? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change of management team would just put us back to another rebuild. We have a very balanced squad and maybe 2 or 3 changes and we should be challenging again and also being able to compete in ASIA, if Eric walks we can kiss that goodbye.

mus-28 Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Did we get a free kick in our attacking third at all? We had a superior aerial threat but everytime we had a player go down Beath called play on whereas LeFondre was keen to hit the deck whenever someone went near him to earn a free kick. Grant accumulated countless fouls throughout the game that could've been another card, McGowan lashing out at Wales while shielding the ball wasn't even looked at, it was just a typical clusterfuck Beath performance. How the fuck was he picked to officiate the Grand Final when Alireza Faghani has been the standout ref all season and Beath is constantly involved in controversial decisions. Even Alex King would've been more worthy to have been picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyh001 Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Was absolutely shattered last night to the point I just couldn't post - felt so empty and numb after. Still frustrated this morning other than to say that I feel I can at least put things in perspective. Thought we had the better of the first 45, smurfs had the better of the second 45 and that extra time is always a crab shoot. The disallowed goal is annoying but the fact Wales is in Redmayne's line of sight means (to me at least) there is some interference. Of course Wales isn't going for the ball and I doubt he was intending to interfere but not the first (and not the last) time this will be given. In any case, both Walers and Redmayne can go get fucked. In terms of the Le Fondre dive, the angle from the main broadcast camera made it look like there was no contact. Le Fondre looked like his legs went to jello and he dropped like he had been shot, so he and the whole of Sydney can go get fucked (particularly Corica for being a entitled silver spooned cunt). None to phased either way about the Grant second yellow. Have always thought booking a player for getting excited after scoring is kinda bullshit. That said, don't think Grant knew too much of the goal and just got lucky. So Grant can go get fucked. Can't believe the bullshit with Atkinson getting booked 3 minutes from time for a foul that wasn't there when Metcalfe gets chopped two minutes later in the exact same spot for nothing, nada, zilch. Chris Breath you cheating cunt rag. Go get fucked. In saying all of that, more than anything else I want to say congrats to the boys in City blue for there determination, dedication through this whole pandemic. They have troopered on and set the foundations for a great future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
