Just shows how football has changed over the years. Attackers now stand in an offside position to basically get an advantage (confuse the defenders, basically), as they know it won’t be called unless they touch the ball. Ironically this is in direct contradiction to the actual law, which says you can’t gain an advantage, but must be seen as too hard to adjudicate on at every occasion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Robbie Slater can puss off. No way that was a pen and “if it occurred anywhere else on the ground” - it’s play on. Good decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 To maintain credibility, the League referees have got to give Mauk a yellow every dive he makes. There can be no tolerance of this sort of footballer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I used to think a Sunday 5.00 p.m. KO was the graveyard shift, but a wet Sunday at 6.40 p.m. tops that, especially when you factor in the time taken to get to the ground and therefore when you have to leave home. I know that the television contract means every match is to be broadcast live, but IMO it would be better to play the matches on Friday evenings and Saturdays, and IMO the fixturing is a major issue for APL to look at. I think a more regular fixture encourages people to develop the habit of attending, especially as we go into winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) Peak A League? at the 89th minute last night (Scum vs Perth, Kogarah Oval) quite a few lights went out. Game awarded to Sydney who were ahead 1-0. Im kind of thinking this is up there with when Roar had their numbers coming off? Just shouldn’t happen. PS I didn’t watch it just the FA app mini match package, which bizarrely showed virtually no Perth highlights.

Wanderers have fallen a long way since inventing football back in 2012. As to Brucey, not his night. He’s scored 5 goals this season though, and he’s just a winger who hasn’t even started every week. Not saying he’d make our starting XI, but he’s having a decent season. Got at least one assist tonight too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Pulsating game at Gosford yesterday. I’m thinking this is the best season of the A League in quite a while. Not sure precisely why but Covid financial issues may have led to better quality imports in general. What do the A League connoisseurs think? , including @bt50 and @Embee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
