Sotirio is spelt wrong

Sotirio is spelt wrong

Gee whiz what a soft red that was

Gillette reffing a Roar game again

How many times is this corrupt shit going to occur??

[MFKS]

So why does Jamie Young not get booked for that penalty by Martinez??

Ball is in the spot player ready to take and the goal keeper ****s off from his spot and delays the game

Why the **** is he not booked when Janjetovic got a yellow in ET for taking 10seconds too long for a Free Kick

[parksey]

That sums up Jumpei's season, all dithering and no substance.

[Jeterpool]

That sums up Jumpei's season, all dithering and no substance.

My sentiments too

[Retro Jet]

Bet the Roar fans had great delight in telling Terry Antonis in turn to
'shut da f*** up' after they won. :rof:

[MFKS]

**** me

Valkanis is worse than Stubbins and Jones as a Manager

How inept are this Heart side??

[MFKS]

Also if Castro is available we pay him whatever he wants to cum here

Bloke is nearly as good as Griff

[MFKS]

How bad are Heart??

****ing hopeless Valkanis is

Perth were not really that great tonight but coasted through that

Proof that $$$ really mean **** all in this league

[hawk]

Proof that $$$ really mean **** all in this league
bullsh1t mongo.

Perth were good at the back. Sh1tney and vict also spent squillions but you wouldnt have a clue anyway

[parksey]

city were abysmal.

[Bremsstrahlung]

One of those teams was always going to turn it on, and one team wasn't going to turn up.
Both teams can score 5 if they are firing.
Both teams can concede 5 if they aren't.


City were crap. Perth came out fast and won the game in 30 minutes.

[The Dunster]

Whatever they pay Castro it cannot be enough. He's one of the best this league has ever seen.

[Retro Jet]

What was the crowd? Looked like a fizzer numbers wise :blush:

[turbojetfireV8]

seriously doubting Shitney will let him leave the field next weekend without assistance (and not even get carded for it)...

[Jeterpool]

9400-odd I read.

That's really disappointing for a semi final. Because I'd dare say that we'd get double that up here with our team in a final.

[MFKS]

bullsh1t mongo.

Perth were good at the back. Sh1tney and vict also spent squillions but you wouldnt have a clue anyway

Perth didn't do that much at the back as Heart offered very little

Perth also offered very little going forward after the two goals.

Not that it mattered

Perth going to have to raise several notches to trouble Smurfs next week based on last night's effort

[MFKS]

9400-odd I read.

Our team don't do finals

So your just speculating what the crowd would be

[Jeterpool]

Yes. I am speculating but I'm basing it on the average home crowd we've had for finals, which is just a touch over 18400.

TV wins out.

7pm on a Sunday night just awful for attending fans.

So glad I have all our finals appearances in full on DVD. Can get drunk, shut out the world and relive the halcyon days of that band "Griff and the Squadron".

[plague]

I guess you're right, plenty of people turn up to see Haleys Comet too.

[parksey]

TV wins out.

7pm on a Sunday night just awful for attending fans.

And also City have no fans.

[turbojetfireV8]

And also City have no fans.

their owners might be able to rent some next season, they seem prepared to throw good money after bad at them with no reward, at least renting the crowd should cost them less than dodgy loan deals to get them players like McLaren etc...

Hey hawk, you seriously got offended by the members comment? I would agree some people would have died since we were any good at finals football. Chin up.

[Bon]

To be honest, I die a little bit inside every time I watch us play..

[steve136]

The atmosphere at games has been pretty dead since then too.

[lquiquer]

The old grandstand died too since then

[sorefootballer]

The big screen SHOULD have died by now also...

[MFKS]

I got to be up at 4:45am

This game has ET written all over it now

I just about over the Foxtel Smurfs fapping

Come on Castro

[MFKS]

Sydney FC really are a ****ing joke

Look at all the empty seats.

Useless ****s

[Jetmaster]

Watched the Jets v Sydney semi from 2006/7 last week. The flatness from the Smurf biassed commentary was obvious.
Expect same tonight if Sydney are in danger.

[lquiquer]

Come on Perf.....

[MFKS]

That **** never done that once when he played for us.

[Jetmaster]

Taggart again showing he is a flat track bully.

[MFKS]

Video Ref can seriously get ****ed

[weston]

Video Ref can seriously get ****ed

I don't understand how bobo was not interfering. On the same
Note I don't understand why the Perth bloke (Djublic?) didn't go through the **** to get to the other smurf rather than give up.

[boz-monaut]

video refereeing only works if you don't have monkeys like Strebre looking at the replays

[weston]

Reddy should be sent for not putting that ****er through the post.

[Jetmaster]

Thanks for totally f***ing up the season FFA...

[lquiquer]

**** that shit ....switching to Netflix....

[boz-monaut]

the referees all agreed it wasn't a goal but the producers wanted Sydney to be in the grand final so we went to the video

[Jetmaster]

This commentary is as bad as the decisions. Bobo was interfering ffs.

[MFKS]

Keogh thinks he is Hoole now

[Jeterpool]

If people don't think the commentators have been told to be positive about VAR then you're clearly not as cynical about it as me.

[lquiquer]

Shame Hoole never thought he was Keogh.... :tongue:

[MFKS]

So far the VAR has scored 3 times for Sydney
It ain't scored for anyone else yet

If Sydney get stiffed next week by the VAR then we will see what Peadick CrackHead and co think about it then

[Jetmaster]

If people don't think the commentators have been told to be positive about VAR then you're clearly not as cynical about it as me.

Simon Hill on the podcast is a different animal to the one on the commentary. Social media is showing who the closet Smurf fans are!

[MFKS]

Did the VAR get MOM??


Best performance I thought

[Couscous]

Meh. VAR didn't win the game for Sydney.

[The Dunster]

The KOTH starts next week - way more exciting than this shit.

[parksey]

fold the league

[Jetmaster]

Meh. VAR didn't win the game for Sydney.

Nobody is saying that...Sydney would have won anyway, but the first decision with the ref referring it NRL style when I thought it was meant to be done behind the scenes, the wait, the confusion, the bad taste it left, the smarminess of Bozza who first pushed for it a year ago......I turned the game off in disgust. It has ruined cricket and NRL and it will do the same to our game.

The system is not foolproof and that first decision proves it....saw a twitter poll where 82% believed it should have been disallowed.

[Tommyjet]

Switched to the old firm derby instead. Great atmosphere and some good mongrel on display despite the serious gap in class between them these days.

We also had a situation like this last night as well. Where the SFC dip shit whose name I don't care to know faked having his face slammed into the goal post by Reddy.

The SFC player went to ground clutching his face in a manner that even a 3 year old girl would consider soft.

The referee should have gone to the replay - seen his head didn't hit the post and then awarded him a red card for trying to have Reddy sent off.

Personally, I'd keep the VAR and just get rid of the A-league.

The passive offside rules are a complete joke - and the result of having far too many ex strikers calling the shots at FIFA over the years.
It doesn't matter if if the Defender would have made it across or not. An offside player blocked his progress - end of story. No goal.

4 sure

This last point was highlighted by Les Murray among others last night.

It was not an "obvious error".

[MFKS]

30 mins in this is one shit game

Neither team looks like they would trouble the Jets

[StannyCFCJET]

30 mins in this is one shit game

We'd still gift them a goal/penalty

[MFKS]

Judging by the standards of both these teams might as well just stop the game now.

Call Arnold down from the stand give him the trophy and not waste everyones time next weekend

[MFKS]

Last 10 mins and you want your big $$ players to stand up

Holman actually played like the shit **** he actually is

Berisha shits on Maclaren too. Take Besart any day of the week

[lquiquer]

I feel like: Thank god Brisbane is not in GF...We beat the khunts 4-0 at home then beat them away then 3rd game at home went from good to worse for us......

[MFKS]

Berisha shits on Maclaren too. Take Besart any day of the week

That's because bloke has Mongrel

It an element that sets apart the great ones who deliver in the moment from the ones who don't deliver as they lacking in it

Yeah coz that Messi bloke is a full thug.

Sticking a boot in, playing for the shirt, putting in a shift are all the keys to his success.

[The Dunster]

I hope Tommy Oar has a long contract with Brisbane Roar because he's the type of overpaid / over hyped oxygen theif I can see the Jets wasting their money on.
He makes Hoole look like the real deal.

so true, I thought at the 2014 World Cup he was way out of his depth & he'd be back in the a league before to long & now he's struggling at a league level.

every challenge he was muscled off the ball.



I think victory's best hope of beating Sydney is someone doing kantarovski and jamming ninkovic...thinking dj broxham

otherwise Sydney 2-0

[Jeterpool]

Rojas v Zullo and Kahlfallah v Grant is going to be where Victory have the chance to win it. Troisi also needs to have a great game because I thought he's been off in recent weeks.

I think this has a Sydney 2-1 win all over it. Sydne's defense is what will win it for them. Ibini missing (I assume) will be massive for them - he offers a lot off the bench.

I agree but Arnold has the wood over Muscat atm. Muscat only has the one way of playing and needs a Plan B to have any hope of winning. Id also be doing a Jets of 2008 and playing a different surprise formation in the GF

When he came on to the scene as an 18year old he was the real deal

Good left peg and give him the ball and all he wanted to do was run past his man and whip crosses in

Exactly what you want in a left winger.

Ever since he made his debut for the Socceroos it has been all down hill

Verbeek refused to select him and then he has had everything that made him promising coached out of him by the Dutch Mango sucking brigade

[MFKS]

Messi has mongrel

What I would give to have a bloke with this type of mongrel in our squad

Scores late winner against eternal rivals who's off shirt and gives big ones to the opposition support and then thanks the ref for his yellow card as he goes home and counts his cash

I remember him playing in the Roar youth team and he used to absolutely rip it apart. But I think he may have suffered from being a very talented junior whereby natual ability can take you all the way. As a senior you need to also have a work ethic, a brain, and a winning mentality. Tommy Oar does not tick these boxes.

So... he's a better James Virgili?

[The Dunster]

He's a more expensive version that's for sure. But yes a few similarities.
