It appears that the appeals process going forward is different to what happened pre-appeals. The banned spectators have to prove that they didn’t commit the reason for which they were banned. The onus is on the banned to prove they are innocent in order to over turn these bans. Seems incredibly dodgy & unless there is video of what happened or physical proof. Lots of money spent between 5-10k just to get the process started, let alone proceed with action. For example: If you were banned for causing unsocial behavior when you were trying to calm the situation down or when in the vicinity, it’s hard to say that you weren’t involved. Going forward, it appears that they won’t be going off an eviction notice or a police report with scant details. It’s a bit disappointing the whole process seems to be hidden behind this cloud of secrecy & details aren’t brought out into the open. This is only heresay, with out any concrete official information

Kenny, mmm.... Maybe it’s what he brings to the table post match that got him over the line...

Thanks chief Was there any text? Or just photos? Went to the site but couldn’t see any, just photos

Stupidity, it was one lone idiot not the whole crowd chanting. There has been wide condemnation from fans & the club, on top of that the guy is looking at a lifetime ban. What more is he expecting? Swept under the carpet? Yeh mate. If that isn’t considered a strong response then I’d like to know his thoughts of how other sports respond to similar incidents. Incident week after week? Love to know what happened over the last two weeks? We have done a pretty good job of shooting ourselves in the foot over the years but it seems slowly but surely we are going in the right direction.

Kristensen (sp?) parents had flown over to Brisbane & then drove down to Mudgee. Add them to the mix, perhaps not in the onesie Expect much more from TreeJack, physically he has been in first gear. Suspect lack of game time & injury over the last few years has had an effect. Am looking forward to him building his fitness & then I suspect we will see more than just glimpses which is all we have seen thus far. Lots more expected of him. It is a lot of pressure to put on his shoulders being our main creative outlet & still getting up to speed without any back up in his position. I also feel his performance is correlated to the way the team plays. If he doesn’t get the ball in the right areas then it will affect his performance & the more defensive work he does the less effective he will become. Will be interesting to see how he goes in the summer.

Supposed to be? You think it was coincidence that he was a no show in pre A-League matches? There are many ways to be lazy than putting in for a 90 minute performance. It is along that same line of thinking that gets Sotirio picked ahead of the more talented other options.

Looks familiar

Didn’t want to take the taxi to the hospital because?

Ahhhh.... Kerem lives...

I love the guy. He runs all day, yes his end product & general standard is not the greatest but he is a team player. Happy to play whatever role, take up minimum amount of the salary cap & works hard. People are expecting him to put in the performance of a guy many times more than he is being paid. You can’t have 11 rieras or treejacks, you need to have a guy who is willing to do the dirty work & tireless running. Sotirio is our man. I’ll back the guy to the hilt & back. Another reason he gets picked so often is the numbers he generates in training, his physical condition & work done on the training field. This is the reason why our last 4 coaches keep picking him & our fan base is none the wiser. On behalf of the Sotirio appreciation society,

This moment is going to be hard to top this season

Have they ever? They always seem to come to the right call. Funnily enough, they said that they were right but in the future wouldn't over turn a similar decision. Go figure. I've said it before, the guy loves playing for us & in front of our fans. Great guy but feel like we haven't taken to him as he had taken to us. I was told that Ben Williams gave that red card, not because it was a red card but he was worried he was going to lose control of the game. It's his job to manage the game, not hand out red cards (for a reckless challenge) to do it for him. Nobody ever has had poor body language or used any abusive language to referees ever before on or off the field. I'd love to see some of the Arnie & Brosque blows ups from the last few years. He has had 2 games in Australia & he has been labelled as having an anger problem. 2 GAMES and they've come to this conclusion If Babbel pulled the boys from the field, I wouldn't have blamed him. I believe they picked up 250,000 for taking on the trial last year. I'm pro VAR, no I'm pro VAR when it's used properly. In Serie A, those VAR's were the ones that did the majority of the World Cup games. The usage is spot on, unfortunately it has been mistake after mistake in Australia meaning that it is very hard for us to trust VAR or Australian referees use of VAR. ------- Whoever made that comment on Hamil, spot on I don't think he has been outstanding but the last two seasons he has really stepped up. Not blaming the loss on VAR but instead his body language & the words "we just need to do whatever it takes to win" ------- The performance: The guy goes around telling his players we have the worst squad in the league. We certainly played like it. The luck the smurfs get, that first goal which deflected out to the only smurf in the open & then the inept Beath doing his thing. First half, after the goal we were totally outplayed & second best. We did create some chances but like many previous derbies we have been so wasteful only for the smurfs to be clinical. Started the second half slow and that second goal, disaster. We stepped on the gas after that devarcle but not good enough In Perth we showed some promise & in the derby we showed enough to prove that we won't come last. I think the devarcle has helped to deflect away from our performance which wasn't good enough. Lucky that we have been able to direct our anger at another derby loss under superfluous circumstances to VAR. It might not be pretty otherwise.

My favourite was when Harper said "how was that a free kick, certainly not a yellow card" No mate, Brosque elbowed the guy in the head It was scrappy, lots of jiggly fouls & stop start but both teams played with a lot of grit, the atmosphere was pretty mint & those goals too Ive stopped trying to compare Australia & Europe, appreciate the contest & watching a half decent game in our backyard.

Awwww shucks, can't say I was hoping for a different result Well done Adelaide, felt the game was balanced but won on those two wonder strikes by Craig Goodwin. Some golazo's there
