[Superdylan]

Adelaide 1-0 up after 25 seconds....is that the quickest goal ever in the a-league?

[Jetmaster]

Adelaide 1-0 up after 25 seconds....is that the quickest goal ever in the a-league?

No....Louis Brain....11 secs in first season for Adelaide.

Mind you....with Mori and his 4 second goal, they know about early goals in Adelaide.

[halo se7en]

Elrich gives away a pen. Williams converts 1-1.

[Premy]

Lol

[Jeterpool]

Elrich gives away another.

Williams is losing control of this

[halo se7en]

And no homecoming for Tarek… sent off for headbutting Behich… and second PK for Williams. The other Williams has completely lost control of this game. Galekovic saves. Taggz with a huge sigh of relief. More cards to come in this one...

[Jeterpool]

Behich is a little turd

[Jeterpool]

I've always rated Mauk. He'd be a good acquisition.

[halo se7en]

Dugandzic makes it 2-1.

[Premy]

I actually think Ben Williams has handled the hole situation perfectly. What can Elrich expect for a headbutt, then the Adelaide players blow up cause their team mate got a red card he deserved nothing else Ben Williams could have done better IMO

[halo se7en]

He waited a good 10 minutes and a few yellows later before finally calling the captains over to calm everyone down.

[Jeterpool]

He won it back by calling out the captains IMO. He did well with that. He did well to not send off a second Adelaide player with what looked like a lot of dissent

[halo se7en]

And can he call a penalty after letting play go on? The linesman wasn't flagging him. It didn't seem to be a penalty until after the ball went out, then Behich got up and complained and then Williams decided to go and talk to the linesman.

[halo se7en]

I guess now we just hope for a few more Reds reds so they're suspended for our game.

[Jeterpool]

Hmmm good question. Penalty or indirect free kick? I'm not a referee and would appreciate the interpretation from someone who is

[belchardo]

Foster just asked the same thing.

Elrich dumb, even if he didn't touch him

[belchardo]

Yes, I think the ref has lost this one.

[Jeterpool]

Foster just asked the same thing.

Elrich dumb, even if he didn't touch him

I'm watching fox. What was his thought?

[belchardo]

Basically he thought it maybe should have been a throw in rather than a pen. He didn't have a problem with the red card.

Hate it when players start playing to draw cards.

[westjet]

Wonder if this game will finally convince the FFA to do something about the constant abuse the referees have been getting recently. Dont care how bad they perform or if they make the wrong call the constant surrounding of referees by screaming players is a disgrace and a bad look and getting worse every week.

[Premy]

IF big if, if we beat Tards and Smurfs win the last round will be very interesting and only add weight everyone playing at the same time in the last round.

[Jeterpool]

Slaterism "just gives it some violence". FMD.

Also re: the ref I'd love them to call a freaking foul throw from time to time.

[Jeterpool]

Gombau and his celebrations are massive lulz

[WolfMan]

Love Gombau and his passion. Brilliant scenes

[lquiquer]

And again our destiny is taking out of our own hands..... Last play of the game ffs... !!!!!

[Premy]

And again our destiny is taking out of our own hands..... Last play of the game ffs... !!!!!
Still in our hands just have to score 14 goals and concede 0

[la bazzle]

Bullshit that griff got suspended yet you see constant mouthing off and swearing at them every game. Typical anti-griff agenda which is always based in jealousy both by refs and forum posters

[militiamon]

And can he call a penalty after letting play go on? The linesman wasn't flagging him. It didn't seem to be a penalty until after the ball went out, then Behich got up and complained and then Williams decided to go and talk to the linesman.

It would appear to be a good call:


Direct free kick

A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following seven offences in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:

kicks or attempts to kick an opponent
trips or attempts to trip an opponent
jumps at an opponent
charges an opponent
strikes or attempts to strike an opponent
pushes an opponent
tackles an opponent

A direct free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following three offences:

holds an opponent
spits at an opponent
handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area)

A direct free kick is taken from the place where the offence occurred (see Law 13 - Position of free kick).

Penalty kick

A penalty kick is awarded if any of the above ten offences is committed by a player inside his own penalty area, irrespective of the position of the ball, provided it is in play.


So as long as the ball was in play at the time of the incident (which it was yeah?) then it was the right call.

[militiamon]

Also second the call made by la baz about the anti-Griff conspiracy. Disgracefully obvious, and I'm not even kidding.

Finally, Gombau, da bestest.

[parksey]

how much of a **** is behich?

[Jeterpool]

I agree.

Thanks for that

[leftrightout]

They main thing he Ben Williams could do better is not be Ben Williams. Same kind of thing as the best way bridges could be better.
Around here when an opinion is formed, it certainly sticks!

[MFKS]

Out of curiosity what is the ruling if an act of violence occurs in the penalty box say when the ball is out of play??
ie Defender starts punching attacker but the ball has just gone out for a throw in and play hasn't yet restarted as the ball is being retrieved from the crowd when the defender cuts sick with a left right combo???

[MFKS]

Bullshit that griff got suspended yet you see constant mouthing off and swearing at them every game. Typical anti-griff agenda which is always based in jealousy both by refs and forum posters

Bang On the money.

Hypocritical double standards to send Griff off and then put up with that last night from Williams.

If Middleby had any idea after giving Griff a new contract he should be asking the FFA for a please ****ing explain and calling for retrospective suspensions to the Adelaide players in light of the action taken by the same clown against Griff

[Premy]

Player guilty of Violent conduct would get sent off then play would restart from the throw in.

if its smurfs wsw or gypos a warning would be given, any else free kick against

[MFKS]

if its smurfs wsw or gypos or involving a team playing the Jets a warning would be given, any else free kick against

Fixed for accuracy

[Thomas477]

What Premy said. Same thing as pushing before a corner, as long as the ball's not in play, the ref can't do anything bard hand out cards and warnings.

Cheers mate

[Premy]

how much of a **** is behich?
What Carrusca done was no better.

[parksey]

behich does is it every week, though.

comes in with terrible tackles designed to hurt opponents then goes down like a sack of shit when anyone touches him.

Behich in the grand scheme of things is barely making a top 10 of the biggest a grubs in the HAL in my eyes

ADP
Hutcho
Berisha
Simon
Burns
Geronimo
Broich
Santalab

Compared to them Behich is an amateur

Your top 10 only has 8.

[joel31]

How is Broich a grub?

[The Dunster]

How is Broich a grub?

Serial diver and general all round whining khunt.

He'd be on my list for sure.

Edit: Oh and good as he is - he's nowhere near as good as he rates himself. The bloke wouldn't be able to see daylight.

[parksey]

broich and adp are not grubs at all

No Smeltz?

[hawk]

berish <3

[snake]

logical song by rbb is the best thing in the a-league atm

sqdrnz should steal it 4 sure. do the scooter version to differentiate obviously. although even this will be too oldskool for most of our fanz

[Grimario]

Absolutely awful challenge. Appiah should be gone.

[sammydog]

Always looked like a red. Can't see how no card was issued.

[Grimario]

If neither of the Polenz tackles earlier this season weren't read, that one definitely wasn't.

God, I really hope Tinks hands the license in and we get run by the FFA. The preferential treatment is amazing.

[lquiquer]

yeah penalty against scums

[lquiquer]

Too easy....whououou

[lquiquer]

Bouhhhh penalty scums

[lquiquer]

Bouhhhh 1-1

[Grimario]

Two of the softest penalties I've seen in the HAL.

What a ****ing shambles the officiating is.

[MFKS]

No Smeltz?

Forgot about him seeing he is always injured these days.

Add him to the list Add Sigmund and Manny Muscat also forgot about those sheep shaggers also

[Grimario]

Now now Member, Muscat is a legid Maltese Superstar, like Hutcho.

[Retro Jet]

AfterBirth 3 -1 v da sCCuM.
Was hoping da sCCuM did a number on that sh!t from the west and gave Jacvnt Burns the home send off he deserves....lose!
Useless yellow shite.
Any chance Fart will beat Wankerers nxt week and Sh!tney flog Perf? 1 can only hope!

[Jeterpool]

Puddle signed for Sydney!? When did that happen!?!?

[Jeterpool]

And they think our pitch is crap

[belchardo]

Puddle signed for Sydney!? When did that happen!?!?

More salary cap rorting

[belchardo]

He's filled out a bit between appearances too

[lquiquer]

Biggest dive ever!!!.... ffs....

[boz-monaut]

del Piero diving into the mud and slotting the penalty

just appalling refereeing

as much as I hate the Jets, losing out on the semis to there cunce (i.e. Middleby's old team) just rubs salt in the wound

[la bazzle]

Catchya jets

[BodyNovo]

FFA should be stoked

They are keeping the WSW v Sydney dream alive

[plague]

Looking forward to Thomas and other BK haterz praising Moss for diving at ADP's free kick.
Fat lot of good it did.

[Thomas477]

Looking forward to Thomas and other BK haterz praising Moss for diving at ADP's free kick.

At least he got closer than BK did on a free kick that was closer. But why would we want players showing effort for lost causes? Hell, the players should just walk off the field when we concede a goal, we're gonna lose anyway.

And Sydney's fourth was a good hit, but Moss could have done better I reckon.

[sammydog]

No dive for Abbas' goal. Why dive, ADP has that covered, maybe we need him in goals. He seems to be a frustrated keeper.

Your argument is getting worse.
Funnier, but worse.

del tha dago brings the league down a few more pegs, refs do the rest

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly Sh!tney match highlights get uploaded onto TWG site.....
