OT: Association Football

[T.S Quint]

It's not even midnight here.

Go to bed, ffs!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I just got up ffs!!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Chelsea in for some hard times. Poor Poch.

The Abramovich sanctions analed the club. It’s a slow climb back.

not to mention poor and overpaid player recruitment

you got so many overpaid players god knows how you will ever be able to sell them, and some are long term also

 

[T.S Quint]

I just got up ffs!!!

Great.
Now you can watch the soccer.

 

[bazza]

disappointed we lost so late in the game but happy for Sonny boy, he's a god in Sth Korea and why Spurs have so many fans in Sth Korea

we really need him back at Spurs asap, so 2 reasons for us to get up

I read the score as Australia leading 1-0 from the 42nd minute, then South Korea scoring 6 minutes into stoppage time to even it up, then score the winner in extra time.

A performance that Parra would be proud of

 

[Suitman]

Wow.

Is this the best manager rant ever for western Sydney? Better than Ricky Stuart but at least Marco Rudan based his rant on facts.
Tbh, good on him.
I'm sure nobody here watched the game, But he has a point. It's true. Fans are sick of it.
Some of the decisions from both the on-field officials and the VAR were diabolical.
And the A-League wonder why fans are deserting the game.

What are you using my anals now?

 

[Suitman]

So, let's look at what Marco Rudan is talking about.
It is no wonder Rudan went ballistic in the presser yesterday.

Beadling gets 3 weeks lmao. Slips on the turf, doesn't cause an injury, wasn't a deliberate scissor motion and wasn't a deliberate attack. Tacked on an extra week because ????



Reminder. Rhyan Grant once did a two footed, studs up, horizontal lunge into Nathaniel Atkinson's shin & knee. He got 2 weeks.



This tackle only got 2 weeks, not even on appeal. Just straight up two weeks only.




Someone please try and tell me Rudan doesn't have a case for complaint.

its staggering to think how with all the various camera angles and close ups, that they can still get it wrong

its happeneing in the EPL and other leagues as well

They are all young so good long term signings. They might've had more short term success filling the squad with veterans but the only way to compete with the likes of Man City is to play the long game. Just need to be patient.

well being patient isn't working atm, also Poch seems to do the same thing week in week out, same starting 11 and same tactics that aren't working

the only way to beat Citihad is ignore FFP like they have done

 

[Poupou Escobar]

well being patient isn't working atm,

Patient isn’t supposed to work atm, it is for the long term.

also Poch seems to do the same thing week in week out, same starting 11 and same tactics that aren't working

Tactics are only as good as the players, and they have had to pick plenty of backups throughout the season. I also disagree they’ve picked the same team every week. They’ve used three different left backs, three different right backs and four different strikers. Their first choice keeper has been out for a month now as well.

the only way to beat Citihad is ignore FFP like they have done

Agreed. That’s likely how Chelsea beat them in the 2021 Champions League final.

 

[Suitman]

So, this gets an on-field yellow card. Checked by VAR for ages and eventually given a red. Suspension given is the minimum 1 week. Ryhan Grant. A serial offender.



However, the following tackle is a straight red and upgraded to 3 weeks. Appealed and dismissed. It is no wonder that Rudan is blowing up and A-League fans are disillusioned with the League.
The Macarthur player is a known diver and Acadamy Award winner.

Are you merkins tracking this blue card thingy they are introducing? Sin bins for soccer. Ange isn't happy.

Postecoglou pleads with authorities to leave laws alone, says blue card will 'destroy' football

He is probably right the team down to 10 men will just milk the clock and park the bus for 10 mins waiting for that player to come back on.

Ange likes to keep things simple, he hates VAR as well

 

[the phantom menace]

Lol... "Peak A-League"

After the ‘miss of the century’, it may be time to rethink ‘Peak A-League’

Sydney FC striker Patrick Wood’s nightmare miss has gone viral around the world. Yet it wasn’t even the craziest thing that happened in the A-Leagues on Saturday.

SMH loving this and making a headline out of it, yet not showing some of the amazing goals so far this season.

Pathetic media.
