Perth Glory vs Western Sydney Wanderers 13/1/2019 5:00PM

No Riera....no worries......lol

(I think with his recent lack of outright pace Riera would make a good defensive midfielder.)

Good half , Baccus needs to be careful in the second half. Hopefully we keep attacking otherwise we won't be able to keep them out for a whole half.

The ref had basically decided before the game started he was going to card Baccus.

3 fouls spread out over 45 minutes is not worthy of a card. 15 minutes per foul. It's not like any of them were SFC style professional fouls breaking up counter-attacks, and we haven't been rotating fouls to disrupt the opposition ball recycling, they were two fouls competing for the ball in midfield, and the 3rd wasn't a foul in the first place, and it was on the centre-line a minute before half-time.

Just another example of the **** officiating in Australia.

And since Ferreira, keep an eye out if he gives away a foul in the second half, see if the ref gives him a card or not.

To be fair he did warn Baccus on the foul he committed beforehand

Wow, I'm loving our 1st half performance. Is this game really 1st v 8th?!? Seems more like 3rd v 4th. Either Perth are massively overrated, or we have the makings of a halfway decent team.

Not gonna get too cocky for the 2nd half. I know from experience that Popa can fire up a team in the break.

But very happy with the game so far, and hopefully Perth start getting punished for all the fouls, knocks and hits to the back of the head that have gone unpunished so far.

I usually use netball as a reference for the way aleague refs use the whistle

By the way

Kamau >>>> Sotirio

Baccus is a midget. Is he even capable of fouling someone???

I was happy just to not have to hear Harper, Speed or Slater calling the game. The half time lead is just a bonus. 

If no one told you who was the socceroo right back and who was the 3 game it would be hard to tell. Don’t think we have missed Risdon at all, early days for him but Russell has stepped up and not looked out of his depth. Thoughts??

Absolutely. Youth is always a little inconsistent but he's definitely shown he can step up. 

Tremendous first 55 mins. Not the prettiest but showing some real grit. Not a poor player on the pitch.

Vedran should not play again I’ve seen enough of this keeper to proclaim he’s a better option 

Oh **** mahazi is on don’t do anything stupid

Suman's doing a great job thus far but he drops the ball quite a bit and kicks it out a lot. Still only 18yo so he's excused.

How is that a handball against Majok!?! 

The ref had a clear view! FFS 

Strange sub IMO. No issue with fresh legs but Baccus, who has been great given, Is on a yellow card & looking like a walking red card.

Fiitzy was shot

2-0!!!!!

This is the greatest game since the acl haha 

Holy s#!t... is this happening!? Even better, i had $20 on Yeboah as first goal scorer into WSW to win paying $18!! Cmon lads!!!!

I may start tipping us to lose 4 - 0 every week if this is thre result....lol

Damn, come on lads hold your line and be strong

Screwed by var again

Calm down lads. They have one back. Dont get too excited 

So Suman gets clattered into by Davidson and he was offside and made a play at the ball. But VAR spends 30 seconds reviewing and let's it go.

If that was against SFC, tgat would have been disallowed. I'm seriouslyover this rubbish.

VAR run by smurf ref

And WTF was that yellow for?

******* BS.

That was even more interference than Sortirio during the derby. System is ****ed.

How is that a yellow card for Tass let alone a foul?

Perhaps Riera has been playing injured
