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.
off the field of play I am pretty sure. Once you go over the sidelines you can do what you want.Quote:

3-2 up with 10 mins to go, can just imagine Del Piero falling over every blade of grass to win.
And they did get 5 mins of stoppage time.
Brilliant work Cheeahgoo.
Good for the game imo
About time we had our own grub that everyone hates
Thought that was Wheelhouse and/or Rubez?Quote:

As for his gamesmanship, I'm a big fan.

up there with the greats of the game
tiago hero cam
i'd watch it every week, we should start a petition
Fully agree with you Wolfman. I thought we had many heroes yesterday and Tiago had a belter of a game. Got many good interceptions in to save our bacon at times. Have always felt the criticism of him last year was a bit harsh. He ain't quick but he makes up for it other ways. Always felt this season after settling in would see him go better.Quote:

As a result he was able to put on a few moves early showing his skills. As soon as Tiago snapped him it was almost as if ADP realised the gloves were off and he was not getting away with walking all over us. As a result despite the class he has everything else he did looked like a man trying to keep an eye out for the next aggressive tackle and as a result his impact was not as great as it could have been on Sydney or the final score.
they should allow dude on the Segway to be on the pitch following him around all game
they should let him ride the segway whenever he wants
someone should offer him a water bottle if he comes over to the bay next week.
If Tiago squares up and drops Hutcho on Saturday night the blokes Newyness will enter folklore.
Someone needs to let Tiago know Hutcho is good mates with Manny Muscat and the bloke will enter the same realms of legendary status as Griffo
Ha! ThisQuote:
