lol@ Andrew Durante straight out calling the referee a shocker and Jeronimo a cheat. Good to see a captain these days speak his mind, after what can only be termed a horror show of incompetency from the clown with the whistle. That red card... horror show. Second Adelaide goal, well and truly offside. Durante, what a champ.

Gotta love Rudan the chump trying to down play Jeronimo's diving, saying its ok because he comes from South America so its in his culture. This is the A-League F-tard, simulation ain't on.

Was hilarious. It's one thing to dive as contact is about to be made, it's another to go to ground 3 seconds after.

Wanderers finally have a goal and they've been able to shut Brisbane down pretty comfortably so far.

Durante and Hutchinson have probably provided 2 of the best post-match interviews. Hutch last week was sarcastically complimenting the refs for their great game... this week Durante just unloaded. Loved it.

And good to see WSW nab a win. Roar seemed to be a bit slow.

Wow - Jeronimo didn't dive hey? What game was the ref watching? Cassio was fractionally offside, but it was close.

Oh and lolRoar.

WSW were too fast for the roar and the roar didn't handle it, they looked f*cking dreadful at times which, to their credit, was mostly because of the oppositions workrate and pressure.

WSW were in complete control. Good signs for them.

Fortunately as it is exam prep time I didnt have to sit in the rain to endure that one!!

Its good to finally see in Australian sport captains show personality and passion to go past the media friendly cliches`, even if its at the expense of possible penalty. Durante's a gutsy defender, and now officially king of the post match interview. Silver lining from a dud refereeing performance and a dive of the highest order.

We were absolutely awful last night. WSW deserved their win.

Although us winning the derby would more than make up for that crappy football game I watched last night.

Good win for CCM, an otherwise bland game. Up into 3rd for now.

I only saw highlights of the Phoenix game yesterday, but the dive was pretty pathetic, at least they didn't concede a goal from the resulting kick I suppose.

Also the 'offside' goal Adelaide got was made worse by the fact that Brockie's goal was denied in almost exactly the same circumstance. The good ol' consistency or lackthereof in refereeing that can make games so frustrating if they don't go your team's way.

Disgusting decision by the match review committee tonight to uphold the red card and not act on the dive, gutless.

I hear the douche referee was the same one who fell for Berisha last year taking an air swing at the ball, missing, and then falling over like he'd been snipered from the crowd. What sort of goose referee is fooled twice by basically the same move? I love hearing Jeronimo in the press apparently upset by the claims and feeling its unfair... fair dinks, Marlon Brando's dive at the end of Godfather 1 wasn't as theatric as Jeroniknob. Good to see the FFA take a hardcore stand on diving lol . Gutless tools.

Lol

Fooled by berisha..

The ref wasn't fooled as there wasn't anything to be fooled by.. He just didn't see what actually happened and farked the call up.

One day you lot will get over it..
