melbournelad55 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 um Nate. not sure what game u were watching but that dim wit ref called a foul on duff for jumping over a reckless keeper who pulled him to ground. Duff fell over him as he stood up. No penalty. The foul on Duff was for picking up the ball.yeh so the keeper clearly impeded duffs run. God even all the sydney fans were admitting it and laughing on TwitterIf you want to get technical then Duff was also impeding the keeper. Would have been one of the softest penalties ever if given. The keeper just stood up, Duff should have run around him. haha well u don't know the rules of soccer then. if someone blocks ur run, ur not not given a foul for not running around him. if they clearly block ur run by bringing u down like janjetovic did with his arm then it's a foul. the ref would of paid it everywhere else on the pitch like they always always do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSeater Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I'm sorry but it isn't a foul to stand up and have somebody run into your back. I can sort of see the point your trying to make, but it's still not a penalty in my book. But it doesn't matter, games over, we lost and it certainly wasn't the ref's fault we lost, lets move on.

fastfly100 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) besides redders, Ramsay and our woeful finishing AGAIN (it's like a broken fucking record) we played well. Ramsay will be having nightmares of ibini for the rest of his life Give Andrew a break mate if it wasn't for a lot of his 1 v 1 saves the score line would of been a lot worse unfortunate about the mistake but apart from that his game was solid had been the last couple of weeks. Its a certain CB with the pace of a 95 year old that was at fault for the goals last night. Edited November 22, 2014 by fastfly100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a goalkeeper for fuck's sake! What's he supposed to do, just leave the ball there without making an attempt to go for it? If Duff was in possession then it might have been a different story but the ball was in dispute and Janjetovic did what he needed to without any need for maliciousness.   As GreenSeater said and as I already mentioned earlier, Duff could easily have ran around him but instead decided to take the soft option so it's his own fault for not getting rewarded the penalty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that whole passage of play had happened with Williams in Duff's place, I bet the focus would be less on the penalty/no penalty debate and more on the fact that Williams had failed to convert another golden one-on-one opportunity. I love Duff's attitude and intensity and he did hand Paartalu that goal on a platter, but he's not perfect. He's in this with all the rest of them.

jw1739 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 It's hard to comment on a match where you want to say so much about individuals and the team as a collective. But IMO people are getting carried away a bit. Just on some recent posts above... Â Redmayne certainly fluffed the cross that led to Janko's first goal, yes he was beaten at the near post on another occasion - but I'd say there were a number of occasions when Redders kept us in the match. By my reckoning Sydney could easily have been 4-6 goals in front by half-time. Â As for Duff, get the stars out of your eyes folks. He botched a one-on-one and then tried to cover up with some amateur dramatics. Â As SF33 says - they're all in this together. There are weaknesses right through the squad, in the coaching decisions, and in the club management. It's a team game, and we're not doing enough as a team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn't done our boys much bloody good when they've gone ahead that early in a game.  Just seems like every time Redmayne concedes a goal, people think it's 100% due to him stuffing up, but the same people can not accept it when he does some good things as well. In most cases, I'd say that the reason the Sydney players failed to finish was because of the implied pressure that Redmayne put on them (a hallmark of most of the failed one-on-one opportunities we've had over the past few seasons: the opposition goalkeeper moves towards the player with the ball and makes himself as big as possible, Heart/City player with the ball then shits his trousers and either kicks it straight into the goalkeeper, or doesn't even get it on target). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redmayne may make 10 good saves a game but if he makes 2 mistakes and concedes 2 goals then his good play counts for nothing. If we concede a penalty we may as well not bother to even formalise it with the shot on goal as its a certain goal every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiro Kompiro Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 A keeper coming out on a one-on-one is goal keeping 101. Â My son's been doing that on Pro Evo since the PS1 days. Â Good finishers will fake shot and round the goal keeper. Â A-League strikers will make the keeper a hero by shooting straight at him. Â That first goal cross was a regulation take for any half decent keeper, regardless of what happened before. Â The first goal in a game, especially at home changes the whole dynamic of the match.

He was running with Janko and then bizarrely made a decision to cut back into the middle of the box towards Redmayne before realising that he read it wrong and then had to double back - by then Janko had a few metres and it was good night. Â Really disappointed in Kisnorbo all night tbh. Think he would have been under way more scrutiny if it wasn't for Weilart's brain lapse at the end there.

Defibrillator Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if our lads train together in light blue tops (similar to Sydney's shirt)? We certainly warm up in light blue tops on match day. I'm trying to explain to myself why Weilaedt would pass to Janko. It didn't look like a miskick and was pretty well weight perfect. If the training brainstem response is to cross to a teammate in light blue then this is an obvious problem. Don't get me wrong, it was a total fuck up and inexcusable.

Everyone loves him because all they remember are those rare last ditch things he does which look dramatic but as the game as a whole? Hack  Agreed. he was being jeered by the crowd right from the start of last night's game. Seems to be blind in his right eye and steadfastly refuses to get the right wing moving. Just another Colosimo IMO.  But what's the point in dissecting every match? We all know that the squad is weak from the the back to the front. Two below-average keepers, two ageing centrebacks, two makeshift fullbacks, strikers who miss sitters, wingers who can't cross, a visa marquee who no-one had ever heard of and who can't get on the park anyway, now an ageing Australian marquee with a known back problem, all topped off by a Head Coach who of the current A-League coaches has the worst win% bar one who has coached only a handful of games. Long-term injury problems, and apparently we're up against the salary cap with respect to further signings.  I don't know what criteria CFG have set for Melbourne City - only they know - but I can't imagine that 6 points with a quarter of the season gone is one of them. Players have contracts, a number of which mean we have to retain existing players into next season (and some beyond) and these cannot be unilaterally terminated under all normal circumstances.  The fans are already voting with their feet. But for a sizeable Sydney contingent we would not have reached 9,000 last night.  Over to you Mr. Pearce and your fellow directors on the new board.

gunheart Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Shithouse effort tonight. Ramsay n Redmayne = not good. Williams n Big Erik need to ramp up their cardio a bit. Drop 5 or 6 kilos too. Aaron Mooy must be thinking WTF have I done coming to this club. Duff too. I'm unsure of why they can't just shoot at goal when there's an opening. Frustrating. I agree with Ramsey breakdown he is horrendous Thought redmayne pulled out some nice saves in the first half to keep us one goal down. I think your assessment on Williams and Paartalu is poor considering Williams usually out runs most defenders it is his shooting that lets him down. Paartalu is your traditional stocky dm you need him solid to out muscle attacking midfielders to break down plays. Mooy is superb and I love the way he plays the ball. I feel we over sell duff I haven't seen anything outstanding from him and he frustrates me a bit with over playing fouls. His body position in the first half when he had a chance to get onto a cross was just shocking like he wasn't even watching the play or where the trajectory of the ball was. And it's easy to call for players to shoot from outside the box but reality is we play in the a league and will take a god dam miracle for our players to even get it on target when it comes to shots from outside the box.
