Perth Currently 2-0 up against Adelaide

Boy what on earth has happen to Adelaide? be lucky to score another goal this season at this rate.. only kidding.. But seriously what has happened?

 

[giggler99]

Ha! Mariners ahead in the F3 derby 1-0

 

[giggler99]

[Magma]

 

[giggler99]

Well now its 3-2! will the Mariners stuff it up again? you just know they will!

 

[giggler99]

Penalty to the Jets!! poor Mariners

 

[giggler99]

insane! all happening in Newcastle

 

[giggler99]

Penalty to be retaken...

 

[giggler99]

Penalty saved!! again!

 

[giggler99]

Mariners win!! what bonkers of a match!!

 

[Greasyrhys]

Very poor effort by the jets, I think it’s safe to say they’re done for 2018/19

 

[hey shorty]

The 2nd best ending to a game all season.

 

[Magma]

what can you possibly say about that? what a display of keeping at the death.

 

[giggler99]

Say what you want about the A-league about how crap and amateur it is at times, but it always delivers on drama.

 

[SunGirl89]

Can someone explain to me and justify why the penalty was re-taken?

The penalty was saved, Georgievski encroaches (as did many players) but he put the ball in the back of the net.

Newcastle should not have been given a 2nd attempt. To me, the only correct decision is a free-kick to Central Coast.

That's the rule, if there is any encroachment its a retake no matter what the result of the first penalty is.

Do you mean if either team encroaches?

Like many rules in various sports, this is a terrible rule and should be changed.

yes if any team encroaches

I agree in a way but in another way its still just a retake.

 

[SunGirl89]

Utterly shocking rule. Team A earns a penalty. Penalty is saved. But Team A encroached. So penalty is re-taken. Team A scores.

If it happened more often (ie. penalty, encroachment, save, score off rebound, penalty re-taken), I think it wouldn't be long before the rule was changed.

Yeah nah this isn't the law. The reason the penalty was re-taken is because both teams encroached. If it had only been the attacking team it is an indirect free kick to the defending team if it is saved or a re-take if they score.

This is from Law 14 of the laws.

 

[Andonis1997]

OH WEL-LING-TON
IS WON-DER-FUL

 

[Fabab]

Another good win for Wellington,what a difference Rudan has made.

 

[hey shorty]

[giggler99]

Sydney absolutely throwing it away, dogshit performance!
