2019/20 A-League Grand Final Thread - SydneyFC V Melbourne City

[General Giant]

Seems to be a strong wind effect the hearts players now dropping at the slightest touch.

 

[General Giant]

I am just salty they brought back VAR back for the finals, otherwise the goal would have stood

As you say, it is turning into a good game, hope it is not decided (either way) by a dodgy VAR/Ref decision.

I’m 100% against Var but it’s here.

 

[giggler99]

I'm expecting a 0-0 dull fest now

 

[General Giant]

Lol yeah Heart players don’t drop

The Sport should be promoting goal scoring, Redmayne was never going to stop that goal, it went between the legs of Sydney defender.

No worries, then we get the penalty kick for taking out Alfie in the box.

1-1 HT.

Go back to watching the Gold Coast and Kangas game

It's crazy to me that anyone thinks a guy standing between the shooter and the keeper, blocking the keeper's view (at least partially) isn't interfering with the play.

And that coming from someone who hopes the ground is struck by lightning and both teams lose.

Didn’t see the no penalty call, turn on to the AFL game in disgust

Both were the correct calls but could of gone the other way.

So he was deliberately standing there when ball was cleared and the goal scoring kick came straight back in quickly

What?

Offside has nothing to do with whether you're there deliberately.

It always amuses me when people attempt to quote "rules" they don't know though.

Deliberate or not it’s offside in a position that effects the play.

 

[redstarforever_]

[Fabab]

[acm21]

Are Melbourne wearing the 20/21 away/third kit?

 

[nobbyiscool]

I've only got one eye on this game (with the eye on the mighty Raiders), but this second half has been dogshit.

 

[giggler99]

This season just does not want to end!

Like the Covid numbers, just won't go away

City take one for the team and give up.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Oooft.

Two thoroughly unlikeable teams, at least one of whom no one gives a sh*t about in their own city. A dog sh*t game. Two more VAR controversies that are all anyone will talk about.


For the first time since he retired, I miss Frank Lowy. Him falling off the award podium is about the only thing that could save this game.

Do we know if there are any unlikeable old people involved in tonight's presentation?
