I can't wait for all the people complaining about the offside from Wellington game to say we should be 3-0 up.

Two little boys seated behind me are doing commentary for themselves

They keep mistaking McGowan for Aquillina

Troisi is having an utterly dismal game. I'd bring Mutch on for him.

[beatsurrender]

Triosi must be tearing it up in training...!

[mack]

**** YES 1-0

[ZachMercer]

Finally..... The Duke reigns supreme.

[beatsurrender]

Offside

 

[Davo]

TROISI WITH THE ASSIST!

Football is funny ain't it

[Sithslayer1991]

took us 4 goes but VAR finally let one through

[ZachMercer]

We could be 2-3 up in the first half..... Perth will come out second half and start bombing long. They're getting owned in defence.

[Upthehill]

@mack mate THIS is the troisi ive wanted to see all season. Attacking passes, assists and movement. If troisi can do this for 70 minutes a week he mot definitely deserves starts.

Is this game 1-0 or 6-0? I really cant tell

[ZachMercer]

Can I ask a question of any goalkeepers here. If you have 4 go in the back of the net and three are ruled out as tight offsides, what does it do to your mindset. Meaning, physiologically does it still impact you like you let 4 goals in? 

[sonar]

Deserve to be up a goal.....the better side tbh.........would of liked a few of the others to have been given but as far as the rules say...... offside is offside. Have to keep up the effort in the second half.

[Sithslayer1991]

to be honest Perth is lucky its 1-0. Even with the goals cancelled out by VAR we had 3 other good chances

[mack]

Funny how that happens. The Mack Effect.

We know what Reddy is like, if you tell him to play it his way he'll run 40 yards out of the box and cause some Vedran level failures. Presumably he's been told to stay in the box and leave it up to the defenders.

[Upthehill]

Quick observation - this is the first game since rd 2 I can remember where teams havent packed 11 men behind the ball. Teams playing a high line are going to get absolutely cooked by Duke and Ibini. Cox wasnt the right man for the long ball. If we can learn to break down compact defences then teams will need to play a touch higher on us. We might not get 7-8 clear chances a half, but 2-3 a half will win us games.

Tonight we've broken up the defensive structure really well by moving the up the middle FAST then use the width in the final third. That is how you play a 3/5 ATB

[WHACKO]

Happy to see us actually play some attacking football in a first half for a change with some forward movement not just passing amongst ourselves between the back three. 

[WSWJACK]

After Monday’s game the entertainment factor still keeps coming!, thoroughly enjoying this game we are past the spluttering stage, champagne football is around the corner, look at the bench we’ve got second half, bloody hell 3-0 coming up👍

[Wanderboy]

The Duke off side in the 2nd picture above shows that the rules need to be changed.

Yes, he was offside at that point.  But he was put onside later by a defender, and his initial offside did not impede or impose upon any of the ongoing play. Therefore, how can it be considered to have any affect on the goal that was scored, which incidentally was an own goal anyway.

This is where football is ******* stupid and pisses me off.

GK here. Honestly I'm going to be a cocky mother fu/cker to the oppo strikers. Give them plenty of **** when they get close to me on corners and set pieces. @Wanderingbeersclub Can probably attest to the cun/tiness

That can backfire though, if they score later you're going to cop it.

At half time you pick out the organiser in the backline and make it his job to close that **** down. Either be MORE aggressive on the offside trap or yell at them till they have a heart attack to cover the high line.

EDIT - to answer your question sorry, not it doesnt impact me. It's never my fault. Its always your fault. If I ever doubt that I need to hand back my membership card... You're just lucky I was there to yell at the ref to call the offside

Duke isn't the one being adjudged as offside though, iirc it's Wilmering

[mack]

Another offside.
