Ref's a wanker...
Smart thinking as well to get Neville (I think) to drag himself back into the field of play to slow the game down.
Tiago has some good qualities but for me his negatives are just too much of a liability to the team. Once again (like last season) a reckless challenge of his led to a free-kick and a goal. Also the faking of injuries in order to waste time is a blight on our game....it's not a good look. The culture that GVE is seemingly trying to build at this club seems to be at odds with Tiago's whole style not only in the way he plays but in the way he conducts himself on the field.
I think you'll find most people who aren't Sydney supporters would argue that Free Kick should never have been given. Tiago moved his body in an un-natural way to actually avoid making contact with Del Piero and ONLY win the ball.
I actually think Tiago had his finest game for us yesterday. Absolutely everywhere when he needed to be. Looking forward to he and Mitchell striking up a tight central pairing as the season continues.

didn't someone chuck a water bottle at him from the crowd, which he then proceeded to drink?

Can confirm - hops off his chariot/ stretcher, trots over to the intended missile and proceeds to neck it whilst jogging along the sideline.Quote:

Are you talking about a different tackle?
is that a euphemism?
I agree with you stopper2.Quote:

I had a laugh of it when it happened, even said if he wasn't on our team I would be pissed with the way he was behaving, but looking back its not what we want to do to attract more people to the sport.
Don't get me wrong, he played in the rules and did what he thought he had to do to get the result - it just doesn't sit well with me. He certainly had a good game otherwise and thought the yellow card was a pretty tough call.
Finally, picking up the water bottle was very funny...
I missed this at the time, far out :rof:Quote:

Sif Sydney wouldn't have wasted time if they were up 3-2. Refs the one in charge of adding time on.
"Don't hate tha playa, hate tha game".
Love Tiago.
