HAL R10 :: Sat :: Sydney 3 Central Coast 3 @ SFS

There is no way CCM were the better side. If they were, they wouldnt have conceded three....

But again, full credit for the comeback. It was a great crowd and, Petrovski's cheating aside, a great spectacle.

What cheating? He was given a yellow you dunce, therefore punished for a foul. Cheating? :lol:

Let's not get into Prentice stomping on Simon :sarcasm:


As for who was the better side, I've never read a dumber statement than the above. You're saying you played better football, and countering me by saying if we were the better side we wouldn't have conceded three... YOU CONCEDED THREE as well. :lol:

Falling to ground. Untouched. Trying to get a penalty. Cheat. Thankfully he got busted

Stomping. Dont be so melodramatic.

Read the discussion you dope. It was a reference to first 60 minutes, when you claimed CCM were the better side despite being down 3 nil. 3 nil, means at that point, Sydney didnt concede any. Sydney were clearly better in that first hour and played more attractive, enterprising football.

But, as I said, credit to mariners for the comeback. Giving opposing teams credit seems beyond you in this case.

the better team was the one that was down 3-0 after 59 minutes.

3-0 down and your the better side :lol: :lol:

A draw was a fair result IMO.

 

[Twizzle]

if he wasn't cheating, why did he receive a yellow card ?

he got busted, cant really argue with that

 

[griffo346]

Adelaide was lucky that Christano wassnt done for Cheating

you dickhead what do you think the yellow card was for?

 

[Timmah]

He's cheating if he gets away with it. If you're playing it that way, technically every foul in the game is cheating, why is Sasho being singled out here? :?

 

[CC_Eagle]

SFC played a better counter attack and took the opportunities that arose to them.

Simple as that. That's football - you need to take your chances.

We're just lucky SFC have as much character as a tupperware container.

 

[Timmah]

That strike in the first half by Bridge was simply incredible... what is it about him, us, and the SFS?

So being busted absolves him?

Why is Sasho being singled out? Because diving is a blight on the game and it was one of the most blatant dives seen in the A-League.

Obviously condoned by some sections of Central Coast fans.

 

[Timmah]

I'm not condoning but cheating isn't the right word. If you want to use that term fine, but it makes every player in the game who concedes any foul a "cheat" by your reckoning, that's my point. I agree diving is a blight on the game and he got penalised and yellow-carded for it. Punished at the time it happened, and rightfully so. What's your point?

My point is Sasho Petrovski is a grub.

And to compare 'every player who concedes any foul' with the act of diving, which is a deliberate and concious act to deceive a referee and penalise your fellow professional is laughable.

McFlynns was better.

Does the free kick obtained from a diving penalty have anything special about it? Does the free kick get advanced ten metres? No. It's the same as a penalty for any other on-field grub act, a free kick from where it happened.

He got penalised for it, and everyone knows he's a grub. What's your point?

1. It wouldn't have been a free kick but a penalty kick. Almost a certain goal.

2. If you dont see the difference between diving in the penalty square to deceive the official into awarding a penalty and a normal foul, then you really do need to watch more football.

 

[Dutchy]

Almost a certain goal.

Not if Aloisi is shooting.

Conversely, I don't think you quite understood what I was getting at.

You labelled the dive "cheating". My point to you is - the dive itself doesn't get penalised any harsher in play than any other foul. I'm not talking about if Sasho had dived successfully, I'm talking about what actually happened. The free kick was taken at the point where Sasho dived am I correct? Same if he charged his opponent, was offside or was studs up. The on-field benefit to the side (Sydney in this case) is no different to what any other foul would be. And by that logic, I am inferring that your claim of "cheat" is misguided, unless you want to label all and sundry in the football world cheats for ever conceding a foul.

You are completely missing the intent behind what he did, which is why I am saying he was cheating. You need to let go of the fact he got booked for it, another night that decision could have gone his way, re Cristiano

If he was offside, and made a rough tackle, neither of those fouls are deliberate attempts to win a penalty by deceiving the referee and effectively 'cheating' your fellow professional.

Show me another act in the game where a player is attempting to get his opposite booked and win a penalty kick? None.

I'm not debating the merits of the foul, nor am I denying Sasho is a dirty grub. But the penalty that Sydney received for the dive Sasho did was no different to if he'd charged another player, if he'd gone studs up - it's all just a free kick from the space. I'm merely suggesting that if you wish to call a dive "cheating" then you apply the same terminology to any other foul committed in the game. "Cheating your fellow professional" occurs through any other foul in the game.

Agree to disagree on this one I think.
