6-1 loss.

housos where's wally's. fk them. lose

Wanderers $2.60 such easy money geez

except of course we have a multi riding on a ‘both teams to score’ payout.

Terrible.

FFS Fux....apart from when they talked to Ernie, are we playing at all?

A competent side going for the top of the table etc like we are should grind out a 1-0 or 2-0 away win tonight and really consolidate our position in 2nd and step on the throat of Heart

Long odds that happening

wow, that was not offside.

nor was that a penalty.

Off to a great start boys

No dramas we are down 1-0

Justice really

VAR can **** off though

2 from 2 ****ed calls

Clear pen.
Not enough evidence to overturn the offside.

We lucky to be only down one.

Fold the club. We stink.

Yeah sorry I meant not enough evidence to overturn the original decision.

Very obvious ref is taking advice via the earpiece even though he is not supposed to.

Ahhhh the Jets of old

yeah, we aren't playing very well

Since when can a linesperson signal offside then wave play on ?

We've been lucky so many times this season, winning points, even 3 points, despite being the poorer side.

This is not 2007-08 and should never have been compared to it.
