Which it wasn't

Right decision to cancel the goal, but wrong ruling & crazy process.

Did it look like the referees monitor wasn't working. It just appeared the test pattern was on and no reply.

Yeah, gather that's why it took so long.

 

[Cromulant]

That was always going to happen.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

If we don't make the most of our chances, the odds are with our defence we will get scored against.

 

[Cromulant]

We have always seemed to struggle against this lot.

Trying to look for the perfect goal

 

[Cromulant]

Much better

 

[Cromulant]

MUUUUUUUUCH better

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Much better

Much,much better now.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Much,much better now.

Playing with more intent up forward.

Would like to gap them more in case we fall asleep again.

Well deserved goal to the Dutchman after 1st ruled out.

 

[Cromulant]

Ugh Taggart again

But not in defence.....

 

[Cromulant]

That did look offside

 

[Cromulant]

That was really..... almost good

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

That did look offside

This game has been one of millimetres...

 

[Cromulant]

That's handball every single day.

Simon Hill has gone from one of the best commentators in the country to a Derwayne Russell clone

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Poor result really. If we can't beat Glory at home, then we're not a serious contender.

 

[Cromulant]

I suspect this will be a year where we play better against the better sides and drop points we shouldnt.

That said, theyve always had a good record against us even when we were good.

We need to fix that defence. Kikiannis is going to be a hell of a player, but he gets caught out of position too many times, as does Peirias. Defensive mid is a problem too, Barnett and Alagich dont track back hard enough.

I know its the way we want to play, but we are playing with fire all too often.

AU just hit the front in the 14th minute.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Good away win by AU. 1:0
One of the softest send off to Folami. VAR should be ashame.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Still undefeated. It's a shame the two draws were to sides that are struggling, but you'd still take 14 points from the first 18.

 

[Interloperer]

It's a Red Card every time. Both VAR and the on field ref have to agree. Dumb from Folami, the exact opposite of a professional foul.

unprofessional all round from Adelaide I'd say, the match should have been over after 10 minutes.

We did win.....

Unprofessional all round you reckon ?? Lol

To be fair they did react well once they'd squandered the opportunity to go 3 or 4-nil up immediately, let the other team back in the game, and also given the ref no choice but to reduce them to 10 men.
