raw10 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 "This club is run like a Premier League club. I am there from 8am every morning to 3 in the afternoons....I am so impressed with what we do in the community and with the Womens' team,” he said. "This football club, we have to win things. Now we have won something, we take this momentum, we regroup; we stay humble, and go again. "Silverware's silverware - whether people like it or not, Melbourne City have got a trophy and it's a good platform for us now to go on. So this is definitely up there as a massive moment in my career and it's even sweeter that I scored." - Tim Cahill, a true legend - See more at: http://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/article/cahill/1mqv1wcovqt0g1b3v3hgghwu65#sthash.dIyvqLyB.dpufRead more at http://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/article/cahill/1mqv1wcovqt0g1b3v3hgghwu65#GQ93Tgh2TzIHPRAv.99 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 This guy is even more impressive off the field than I expected. Working his tail off promoting the league and the club and a very positive role model in the dressing room. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, a good wicket. And worth every cent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope the local media (afl) don't beat it up. Press seems to have been pretty positive about, in a 'lol guess what he said when he won' kind've way. The thing I liked most about the speech was how much more fired up he got thanking the other players and the fans after going through the obligatory mentions of the bigwigs, sponsors and cephalopods.

Shahanga Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 I meant the potential for a foul could go either way. I agreed with Brosque re the game. Not much of a spectacle (way too many turnovers by both sides, too many long balls) but we won so I'm not complaining. I recall thewaite (?) when Adelaide won, just sounded like a wanker.

So did I but photo shows peter green in the perfect spot to see what was going on. The TV camera was on Brosque's side so looks like a foul. Green sees Malik's arms and how he is running and he could probably clearly see that Malik was being dragged. Plus you only need to look at a players reaction, and Brosque did nothing. A hopeful look at the 5th official and then hardly argued to Green after it. FWIW I actually think we have been getting the rub of the green a little. But I am worried about this conspiracy theory building in the media, which I am in no doubt is an attempt to get at the referees. I will be giving Aloisi heaps on Saturday about it since I sit behind the visitor bench, anyone who wants to join I am very willing to try and sneak them in, just get in contact with me.

Different teams dickheads! If Sydney played last year, then didn't make the final and WSW hosted, I'd understand. It's like they view Melbourne as having two teams under the same umbrella.

I felt that anytime in the second half that Brandan had the ball the ref blew his whistle, and at least from where I was sitting most were not justified.

bt50 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Over the course of the season I think we've probably had the (mild) rub of the green, but certainly not to the extent that all the salty fans would have you believe. Certainly didnt get it against Brisbane with Bruno getting molested and imo it went slightly against us on Wednesday. The game on Sunday and Wednesday imo were well reffed, albeit Sunday's had some soft calls you wouldnt normally see given for the two pens, but at least he was consistent. The main errors on Wednesday probably came with the issuing of cards for fouls to Wellington that we had gotten away with minutes earlier. Tbh im more than ok with rub of the green stuff ie 50-50's whichever way it goes. A lot of it is subjective anyway; a foul to one person might not be to another based on your level of tolerance to minor contact etc. Howlers are obviously a bit harder to take but how many of them can you honestly say we've seen in our games this season. I can't think of one off of the top of my head that wasnt at very least reasonably arguable. Even the Cup goal with Brattan was impossible to tell how close Cahill was from the angles provided, whereas Evans was at least directly behind it and had the perfect view. Personally I thought it was offside, but there certainly wasnt a defining angle to prove either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 IMO over a season it usually balances out. I hate the thought of technology coming into the game to an extent that the officials are beholden to it. IMO the ref and the linesmen are part of the game. I've heard all the arguments about so much riding on a particular game etc. etc., but football is just a microcosm of life - sometimes you get the breaks and sometimes you don't. Players make mistakes, officials make mistakes, fans make mistakes - that's just what football's about and why it endures and excites the whole world over. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably happy with goal line technology, and perhaps offside but anything after that is a waste of time and will be more trouble than its worth.

Offsides not sure. Anything else is a no from me would just become a tv spectical and half the stuff that goes on at the ground they probably wouldn't show as to not incite the crowds. So for those that are at the ground you'd have to watch a full replay to get exactly what has happened and what decisions were made and why, not worth the hassle for me. Easier just to blame the ref regardless if he is right or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier just to blame the ref regardless if he is right or not. Even offside becomes difficult with technology when its a limb or 50-50 type thing. I guess its the ones that are clear offside that would help, but tbh I'd be leaning towards leaving it as it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would imply that refereeing decisions are totally random or the game is fixed. Both are not true. In a low scoring game where titles are decide by a single win, cop a bad decision at a critical juncture in a game and it could make the season meaningless.
