Jarred Gillett Steals Points For City

• Football isn’t like egg ball chasing games. It is low scoring hence the excitement lasts often right to the end, even 0-0 means it’s anyones game. Therefore you also get ‘unfair’ results where the best team doesn’t win. We saw that tonight.

• It was still a great advert for the HAL. End to end, both teams out on their feet. Beats the manufactured Big Bash crap into a cocked hat.

• They scored 3 brilliant goals. We scored two lucky goals. Despite all the chances we created we have the same issue as last season, we cannot convert. This needs addressing. A goal poacher and we would be complete. We are paying Pio a hell of a lot of money and yes he is improving and yes he is trying his guts out but he aint scoring. That is what he is paid for.

• I think city are the biggest threats this year, yet we were the best team on their own patch. This is a massive positive for us. It will give the players a lot of confidence.

• Our travelling support was awesome.

• How good is our team to watch this Season. After last year we are dominating, playing good football. It’s mainly all positive guys.

 Yes to all this.

Plus Eurosnobs are idiots to think games such as these are beneath their dignity to watch.

But but but .............................Its not the EPL. Its crap. I am not going to watch A-league

I could punch people when I hear that and they miss out on a great game like this. 

I'm not sure there was much we could have done about that first 20 besides keep them to 1 instead of 2.  They were always going to gas in the second half after that start and it would have been crazy to try to match their pace over that opening period.

Ha.... well ....I never feel like punching them, but it IS frustrating to encounter that attitude. So counter productive really.

Oh well... it's ultimately their loss in missing out on what is laying the groundwork for the future growth and overall success of football in this country.  

I was at work tonight so I haven't had a chance to watch the game yet.

By the sounds of it, it was probably lucky I didn't or else my television may have had a fist through it.

Can't help but to feel that was a crucial loss which may come back to bite us in a race for top spot at the end of the season.

I can live with it as long as we win next week.

James gillet also stole my $1700 multi. Asshole

it's quite sad that the naysayers don't at least give the game a chance before condemning.

Wonder if Becs watched tonight or the Eurosnobs? of course not.

Yet Australia won the Hopman cup of tennis tonight. Bet that makes headlines.

Blaming the referee for a loss like this is just lazy, especially when he actually made the right decision. Should be looking at ourselves and our complete inability to finish chances. If we're not careful next week we might be level on pts with SFC.

has jayZee had his weekly Pio rant yet?

They would've watched the 'Melbourne Derby' in the Big Bash and sat there watching pretty fireworks and people eating entire watermelons, 

And still not able to tell you who won the game

I think the referee definitely had a role to play in the final outcome of this match. I know what your saying though, we were our own  worst enemies. We conceded 3 goals tonight and missed a host of chances. Even with the most biased referee we still should have won this game. 

We need to have a chat about free kicks just outside the box too.

First Perf then another tonight.

As shitty as it was, he actually made the right decision in the end. I was as angry as anyone when it happened, but looking at it again can completely understand why he pulled it back. If he'd just let Kisnorbo get back into position like he should have, then the reaction to this match would be a whole lot different.

I am not sure you can say its the right decision. If he blew the whistle, then you can play the free kick, which is what we did. He simply should not have blow his whistle. 

Not sure if Redders had a blinder or a shocker , or a combination ... that ninja air kick at the start gave me a freaking heart attack.

Yeah he made the mistake of blowing the whistle early, thing is though he has every right to correct his decision and bring it back to be retaken.

Serious question, on what grounds? Under what law?

The law of common sense. I mean imagine Topor being pulled out of position to talk to the referee, then before he has a chance to get back into position Fornaroli collects the ball where Topor would have been and scores? We'd probably be up in arms about it.

Because it's the referee pulling the player out of position it's only fair he's allowed to get into position. Obviously this wouldn't apply to things like subs and quick free kicks because that's the teams own fault for being in a position for that to happen.

Not sure if Redders had a blinder or a shocker , or a combination ... that ninja air kick at the start gave me a freaking heart attack.

If he got rid of his brain explosion a game he would be one of the leagues top keepers.  He does struggle a bit in set pieces though.

Piovaccari doesn't deserve a bollocking. He made chances and was busy. I'm not sure pulling off and pushing bridge up front was the right thing to do. He was laying off and holding up the ball for the 3 behind him well. He even showed good intensity attempting to slow their early tide of quick attacks.

It doesn't matter how well he is paid at this point. He was far from our worst tonight.

Yeah I mean it's great that he can usually make up for the mistake, but I'd rather he not make the mistake in the first place.

He was working himself to a standstill, I can understand why he was pulled.

Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed the bolded bit.  There were also several times in that opening 20 that he was all the way back clearing the ball out of the box.

We didn't deserve to win but deserved a draw.

I don't care if the referee blew the whistle too quickly for Kisnorbo to get back, one of the first things you're taught in any sport is that you play to the whistle and that's what we did, we shouldn't be penalised for that, not our problem.

Questionable placement by Redmayne for that free kick, I had a bad feeling the whole time he was setting up before it and sure enough... I also thought we were very slow learners with the other two goals. El Tuna and Novillo were cutting inside at every opportunity they had. The second goal he beautifully placed and it was always gonna be hard to save but the final goal, the minute Novillo got the ball everyone knew he was gonna cut inside and shoot cause he's that type of player but no one seemed to do anything about it. Apart from that I thought we weren't too bad. We had to lose eventually so I'd rather it happen sooner than later.

It's pretty funny I don't think most of the people calling for Fred to get the boot actually know why they're saying it, they just regurgitate what they hear others say cause it's the cool thing to do.

Ben Williams at least had the balls to admit he made a mistake last week. Kudos to him for that.

Jarred Gillett also made a mistake tonight. The Kisnorbo positioning point is irrelevant when it comes to actually applying the laws of the game. Yes I agree with this point (about not allowing Kisnorbo back to his position) however HE made the mistake by blowing the whistle before he could get back into position. Once the whistle is blown play becomes active again.

In his press conference he tried to play on the Kisnorbo point but failed to admit he made a mistake by blowing the whistle. Take a leaf from Ben Williams, Gillett.

Wouldn't it be great if no one made mistakes, players included. 

Not sure how Mooy escaped a yellow for deliberately throwing the ball away either.

Because the FFA kiss Mooy's ass even though he's a bald little f*cking attention seeking ****

Vidosic was woeful, definitely his worse game this season.

That was our first loss in how many games ?? How quickly the ravens circle what they imagine a corpse and start picking and pecking. Smells to me like honeymoon not funeral. Get Active.
