disgrace that wasn't even looked at by VAR City should be down to 10 men!

100% straight red every day of the week.

Change back to red City you’re an embarrassment to the Skyblue colours.

Surly the the MRP will look at the Behich stomp on Vergos no way he should get away with that.

Peak A-League to the extreme

Almost time to make the New Boys cry.

Reality check time.

Just had a look before, crazy how many tickets are available!
Sadly for City, when Victory stopped playing at Docklands it meant the City home derby's were no long as hotly anticipated for fans wanting an intimate atmosphere. Doesn't help that City have done stuff all to engage with fans over the last five years and have slowly dropped off. I'm lucky to get to three games a year nowadays.

I always thought that City should have just gone over to Marvel and made those cheap $10 tickets and gotten a big crowd in.

The original idea was people would sign up for a membership to attend the more atmospheric derbies but now even those derbies don't sell out so... what's the point?

Be interesting to see where the Western v City game is next week. Western Oval would be great.

We have seen MRP reverse red cards when the VAR should have intervened or incorrectly advised on a review.

Don't believe we have ever seen an obvious red card not dealt with by VAR subject to a retrospective ban yet.

If they won't do that with this case they'll never do it.

Looks a good crowd in Auckland after the hype of their first game last week

 

[Colonial]

What absolute rubbish that was.
VAR ignores the rugby tackle in the box but comes in for a supposed offside by a player not involved.

Going to be a sell out for the sheep shagger derby next week.

Course he was involved, challenged the Auckland player clearing.

I can't help but be reminded of Teague's disallowed goal last night...

Controls the ball with his hand then kicks the goal

Unclear and even so came off a Sydney defender first before going in the goal.

That could only be chalked off for an intentional handball for which it clearly wasn't.

Controlled the ball. Doesn’t matter if it was intentional.

 

[Colonial]

No mention of the rugby tackle in the box either.
#SydneyConspiracy seems dead

That's not what the rules say anymore. Has to be deliberate now unless it goes in off the hand in which case intent is irrelevant (eg Melb Derby).

It was the correct call.
