Think the ref is on top of this, he understands the consequences teams and players face, he will keep a check on those cards I feel , it will take some stupid brain fart to catch a card or doing annoying constant niggling, no headlocks tonight please skip 

Faghani is Faghani. He gives out cards for dissent regularly.

If the players keep their mouths shut about his decisions/non-decisions and all will be sweet.  

On the other hand, there are a few hotheads in the Heartle$$ squad including Jamieson and van der Venne.

Marcelo is not on 7 yellows, only Nieuwenhof.

Our chaotic league allows suspensions with 8 yellows after round 20 or 21.

Sorry, my brain is over spread-sheeted for the day. Only looked at their rank. Marcelos 2 reds put him higher on the total card count

Is not in any danger

Marcelo is one red away from missing the finals.

Marcelo is one red away from missing a whole season the way he's going with suspended bans.

AU v CCM kicked off before us 

[mack]

This pitch is a disgrace.

[mack]

Well that should be 1-0 to WSW 

[EmMac]

Right lads, let's win 4 nil

[redpanther61]

Awful crowd for a team receiving the plate.

Well, when youve got no fans and none turn up, its still a pretty good percentage I guess

[Upthehill]

CHEEEEKY

[redpanther61]

Nice try by Borello!

[EmMac]

Borello with a 'why the farrk not' lob 

[mack]

Mariners 1-0.

he wasnt missing either. Half a step slower reaction from glover and it was in

MARINER ARE IN SECOND

Probably plays against Margush in training.

[Upthehill]

Well, that was a pen I reckon. Lots of work to do now

[Smoggy]

Penna ..really……

[redpanther61]

It was a bloody dive!

[Upthehill]

oh wow

Ok, I'll take that

[Nathg]

Nabbout instigates contact himself. No pen come on

[Smoggy]

Eh, barelling into the back of an attacker is never going to look good. Might also be my PTSD about pens in important games. We've definitely given away a few

He would have scored from 70 yards away if not for that shirt grab by the City defender to stop him getting the shot away earlier.

[Sithslayer1991]

City are grinding us down. Cant even get our front 4 in the game

[WHACKO]

The City fans are something special...are they even there.

[redpanther61]

Close!

Decent header and decent keeping, better from us.
