Victory played their best game of the season. They have their full side out there from what I could see.
We have dan g, Roy, Vargas to come back in and not to mention what this Rodriguez might bring. Riley brings depth.
Muscat will talk it up.. but really he knows his side should be winning that game at home in front of those fans.
Ernie won't be fazed
Brown is a disaster.... bloke wouldn't get a start in an all age local game

I do agree in a lot of ways we were poor tonightOriginally Posted by The Dunster
But we got **** all assistance from a ref who allowed us to get hacked to pieces with little protection
Pings Sugar in the 90th minute for diving in with studs up but let's the 50 Victree tackles the same and worse go all night long
That penalty
How is it a yellow??
How is it even a penalty??
Shoulder to shoulder contact and the Victree player should be staying on his feet
Never a penalty
Ridiculous the soft shit we cop at times from refs to give away free kicks and pens and get cards yet you see what Victree get away with tonight and you just laugh at the double standards
We let them have their best game... we showed too much respect

To me Looks like Berisha was offside

Totally agree except for the pen. Stone wall penalty. Not a yellow though.
Was thinking the same. If he was not a visa player we would be talking him up as a state league player on a good day. Club needs too find him another home in January.
That was my point ,until half time i always thought we were half a chance of jagging something from the game.
Brown would be a great signing for Wellington.

Brown was a youth international for England. He has ability.
Give him a session with Tony Robbins, then he'll be great for us.
And on that point, if we hadn't sacked Robbins at the start of last season, we'd be playing in the Asian champions league.
No...I checked the replay and Berisha was in his own half when the ball was played.
After sleeping on it I agree with Ernie's assessment...a young team learning beaten by a better team. It may be a difficult January but we will be very strong by the finals.
On another note, why was Williams not booked for a tackle from behind on Dimi early....whilst Vuj gets one for a shoulder push? I also note that the commentary raved on about how good it was seeing Beath let the game flow.
Great idea, send him off to the newly-formed LAFC (Robbins is a part-owner)
I'd go as far as to say even if he wasn't in his own half (he was), he was probably still onside. That is, if you magically transposed both Boogaard and Berisha to the other side of the halfway line, reckon Boogaard is still keeping him on...just.
Credit where it's due, Nigel did try to push him offside by quickly jumping over the halfway line just prior to George's pass.
So you just plugged a bloke who failed to sprint 100% to close Berisha down ??
So you just plugged a bloke who actually was nowhere near the opposition striker and when I say nowhere near let's just say 20metres as a conservative estimate ??
So you just plugged a bloke who tried playing an offside trap and got it horribly wrong and got caught out??
Yeah ok
Your easily pleased then
clearly 2nd best, Merrick is a one trick pony.
Dont get me wrong, the one trick is great when he has the players and its working, but when hes not got the cattle or the opposition coach works him out (as GVE used to do) it looks horrid.
Victory deserved the win. The fact Topor was great defending two positions showed just how much they dominated the attack. Credit Muscat for isolating Ivan against Barbarouses, knowing Topor couldnt help cover because that would leave Berisha v Boogaard 1 on 1.
Some teams just match up well against us, if Merrick can find someone to share the attack along with Dimi (and it has to be Ugabooga) and we have our finisher back on deck things will be different. until then, its more of the same coming.
get over it, we lost. we'll prob lose next week. no trophies handed out in January.
Exactly. Throw Roy on the end of a few of those chances instead of Hoff or Nabbout and we score another goal or two. Put Vargas or Rodriguez (hopefully) in there and Dimi gets a bit more space. But it’s no different to any other team missing 2 or 3 of their key players. Take Berisha/Barbs/George out of the game last night and they would have been toothless.
Also, put Georgievski in there instead of Johnny and George doesn’t have half the game he does.
Period.
yeah this was another good point. Johnny K (out of position) got roasted.
Granted, if you said a few weeks ago we'll get 2 good games, one bad game and a few goals out of Johnny K playing in that role id take it every single time.
now get him in Boogaards spot when Gorgeous George gets back.
