Supposed to be a back three but zadkovich keeps spraying his instructions 30m over the top.

[Retro Jet]

Oh phuck...he's gotta bury that!

[belchardo]

Oh bollocking poo bums.

[The Hacker]

How’d he miss it

[Retro Jet]

Did they take Archie over?

[Retro Jet]

HT
Everything but a goal for the good guys.

[Frodo]

We look like a Jets team playing in Perth, but one that at least knows how to play football.



Archie on for Boumal would be the brave sub, but I can see Savvy coming on instead.

[mic22]

Dominated the first half, couldn't score.
Hmmmmm...

[Retro Jet]

That's a bullet dodged. Duncan's finger tips the difference!

[mic22]

Can we play with bigger goals?

[Frodo]

So this is why Papas hasn't been playing Goodwin this season, 20 mins with minimal effort and he's already given up on pressing. He's still got a goal in him if we can create something in the box, but with chances all coming from a long way from goal I'm not sure how we will score now.

[Retro Jet]

Normally you'd take a point from Perf over there...but this game is/was there for the taking.
Come on Jets!!

[Retro Jet]

Reddy should have received his namesake.

[Retro Jet]

Wtf? How does Mr Multi Club Moron not get a red in that?

[Retro Jet]

We can't buy a goal tonight. Ffs...

[BP Super Dynamos]

These officials are incompetent at best

[evolution]

Wow what a frustrating game. Put 2 or 3 away on another night. I get Penha’s red but how Reddy stayed on the park I couldn’t tell you. Also Ingham needs to be moved on, added nothing except to the misplaced passes stat.

[mic22]

Why wasn't an obvious handball in the box not even looked at by VAR?
Why wasn't Reddy sent off?
Why didn't Beka score with an open goal?
So frustrating, 2 more points down the drain.

[mge61]

The refereeing/VAR/officialdom is embarrassing this league.

[Retro Jet]

And with our GD we don't even go above the sCCuM.
That should have been motivation enough tonight.

[Frodo]

The result is better than a loss. And in Perth that's all we can hope for really.

It will be interesting to see if they even comment on Reddy's non red card. Hopefully Papas is smart enough to mention it on camera or discuss it if asked. Make sure the refs look stupid so they "owe us one" at some point.


Penha's looked like a second yellow with all the card waving, so at least he only misses one week. No chance they extend it if they don't give Reddy a month off as well.

We had the chances to get the 3 points: these are the games we must win if we aim for the top 6.

As bad as it was, a red card to Reddy wouldn't have had an impact on the game at that stage.

Penha looked like a double yellow to me too, I hope it's true, he's too important.

[belchardo]

Lacklustre performance but I'm happy to take a point from Perth. Normally we come back with nothing.

Thurgate looked really tired.

Am I the only one that thought Beka's chance was a tough one? Running away from goal, cutting it back across the body. Where was the support?

I just don't get the refereeing. I mean it was Kris griffith Jones in the VAR so that explains 80% of it, but the ref saw that handball and waved it away, and then replays showed his arm trailling out behind him as he turned. No VAR.

The red to penha was very soft but he lead with his arm so took his chances. I think he's got away with a few this season so maybe it's karma. I thought he was given a straight red, but again, it wasn't VAR that intervened, it was the 4th official. And then Reddy comes flying in from 50m away and slams o'doherty (probably with an open palm) and gets a yellow. Again, no VAR????

I'm just mystified about the grounds on which VAR can intervene.

[belchardo]

Match result on keepup showing straight red.

I think Beka did all the hard work very well to create that chance and he was very clever in doing so.
Then he missed the easy bit: no support needed for that, any U16 would be expected to score with an open goal from that position imo.

[Jeterpool]

He scores that every other time. Nobody will be kicking themselves harder than he will be

[Jeterpool]

In isolation the result should have been a win. We had the chances.

In the context of the season, 7 points from the last 9 with no goals conceded is a significant turnaround

[Mark325]

For as much as we should have won that game, im honestly happy to take a point from Perth away with another clean sheet

The 3 at the back is the way moving forward, Brandon Wilson looks real good and id look at signing him on for next season.

Duncan has really picked up these last two games, maybe the couple games on the bench did him some good and getting the spot back off of a technicality has seemingly made him lift his game a touch.

[Frodo]

For some reason I'm not the biggest Wilson fan yet. I think he looks off the pace with the ball compared to someone like O'Doherty or Arques. Unless we need to hold a lead or are up against City, I would prefer he was on the bench while we try and score goals.

Jurman and Elsey offered more creative threat than he did on the ball, and we shouldn't need his defensive cover with 3 atb anyways if we can keep up our ball retention numbers.


Not a bad player by any means, just 3rd choice IMO to partner Angus.

[My2BobsWorth]

Couldn't even beat last placed youth team, last week looked promising but back to same old

[Bremsstrahlung]

Know they are understrength but it’s hard not to enjoy this, surely.
