But it shows patience can sometimes work.

We didn't throw Arnie out after his bad year and then the next year lost 1 game all season.
Arnie had credibility when he got there, Marco doesn't have much.

Do Victorys ownership have the patience though?

Not so much the owners but the fans will get very restless soon, have been calling for his head the past few weeks after tonight it's just gonna get bigger and louder! The crowd reaction next week will be telling. The club can't keep pledging to us fans to turn up and for what? To watch that rubbish? No ******* way! Dipierto and the board will be under extreme pressure to come out and make a some sort of statement decission very soon.

expect a we 100% back the coach statement in coming weeks followed by the inevitable sacking!

Let's be honest, Victory have a stale and bog ordinary squad these days. That 6-1 thumping in last year's finals to the Smurfs should have raised some Red flags at MVFC. Without the threat of relegation, Kurz deserves time to rebuild the team imo..

They have the coin to go and get someone else, we had to wait.

if that was the case than they would have gotten that someone else in the first place don't you think? Or are the club owners just a bunch of tight arse's?
I'm guessing the latter.

Le Fondre is unquestionably the biggest diver in the league. Falls over at the slighest hint of contact and refs buy it. His performance at Hindmarsh earlier in the season was something else.

Haven’t seen the incident from this game but he’s a very opportunistic individual as far as gravity is concerned.
Please

Besides which it was Ninko who went down in the box. Castro would of done the same thing.

It was hilarious that Fornaroli questioning the diving considering his efforts.

Considering it was Ninko in the box you dont seem to have seen the incident.

Penalty every day of the week.
For me it’s one of those that you hate to see. The rules say it’s a penalty but it’s such a bad look for the game.

There’s no question that there was a shirt pull, but the reaction is absolutely pathetic. It’s sad that diving is now an integral part of the game. If the guy didn’t go down he might not have got the foul.

I think we need to see a rule change whereby fouls are penalised without the need for players to milk the contact. Furthermore, staging should also be punishable. Even when you have a valid free-kick claim, throwing yourself to the ground to influence a referee should be retro-actively punished.

It's simple really. Don't tug on the shirt 1 on 1 when beaten in the box.

Castro would of done the same.

The best thing about United-Victory matches at Coopers is giving it to the Victory flogs walking out of the stadium after destroying their asses.
One of them got in my missus face on the way out, she was minding her own business.

Every club has them, but this bloke was next level.
