I think its Heart and Nix's week. They have to win sometime

[belchardo]

don't have a real problem with the red for kisnorbo, but god i wish they would give that every week. consistency is not a strong point of a-league referees.

[Grimario]

Yeah, that was a good call for a red and justly given from my grossly uneducated opinion. But you see similar every week and sometimes they aren't even yellow.

[plague]

Good call on the red and the spot of the foul.
Also: Mitch Nichols is by far the biggest (non gypo) ****wit in the A-League.
I call it the 'Robbie Kruse award'.

[plague]

There also looks like there's a fair Barney going on behind the Heart goal.
Squadronz to be blamed somehow.

[belchardo]

not sure who is worse: coe or the heart in general.

didn't see enough replays, should it have been a penalty for heart or not? looked inside the box from the one replay i saw.

What price are the short odds the RBB were involved??

After all they did everything first

[belchardo]

Troisi: victory's zads? Every shot seems to end up hitting the roof.

Victory seem to be just about getting away with blue murder tonight.

If Zad was leagues equal top scorer, I would accept that comparison.

[Grimario]

*Leagues outright top scorer

[hawk]

Aloisi's getting sacked, surely

[belchardo]

Surely the ref has $100 on a clean sheet for coe. How was that not a penalty?

Isn't the latest amendment to the rule that there has to be intent? Hand by your side in a normal position can hardly be counted as intentional.

[belchardo]

True, but flapping your hand around like contreras did isn't by your side.

Honestly don't understand the intent bit. If you gain an advantage, it's handball.

[Grimario]

Speaking of flapping hands about... Coe, well done.

For the shit that Birraz gets at times on crosses/corners into the box, there are some pretty shitty more experienced keepers out there being just as rubbish, if not moreso.

[belchardo]

There really is no belief within heart is there. All he had to do then was hit it first time and he's odds on to score.
