A-League Grand Final: Brisbane Roar v Perth Glory

[holy diver]

That prick Berisha is proud of himself. What a ****ing lowlife.

 

[maelcoluim]

No respect for Berisha. Whether he dived or not he should not have celebrated the penalty surely he knew he wasn't touched.

The game didn't deserve to end that way. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[Luigi742]

what ****ing bullshit. this is why no one respects this sport in this country. berisha you ****ing cheat. brisbane enjoy the trophy that you cheated to get.

 

[E92_]

I periodically try to give this sport a chance and s**t like that just reminds me why I find it so unsatisfying.

That's just s**t.

This, I turned it over to watch the last few mins of the game and that was the first thing I saw.

 

[Unrivaled Mach]

Berisha is an absolute knob, celebrating a penalty like he had already kicked it, if only he missed then what would his celebration mean?

 

[damochandler]

it should be in extra time now. the dead s**t admitted to diving.

no wonder the wonder the sport gets bagged to the hills

 

[ep2018]

****ing joke, diving little prick

 

[questionable]

disgraceful. i hate this prick as much as i hated muscat. hope he never plays in the country again.

 

[relapse]

Berisha might be celebrating now, but he'll forever be known as a diving cheat.

 

[mojito]

I've got a new-found respect for Jacob Burns. Credit to him for keeping calm.

Leaving the diving Balky Bartocomous impersonator aside, may I congratulate the A-League's greatest ever goalkeeper. Four medals in six years.

Well done Theo.

 

[Gibbsy]

Funny to hear the entire crowd boo when Ben Buckley's name was announced. And then the referee gets a massive cheer. Brisbane fans know they got lucky.

 

[Outshined]

Decided to sit down and watch the whole final since I've taken a bit of an interest in how the Glory have travelled this year.

The penalty was a joke. Not sure I've ever seen a worse decision in any code. Equally bad yes, but worse, absolutely not.

The real joke though, was the guy celebrating winning a 'penalty' before he'd even kicked it. How can anyone take the a-league seriously with s**t like that happening?

What a farce.

 

[Forward Press]

The A-League is a joke and I wish the whole thing would fold again.

F*** Gillet
F*** Berisha

 

[Gibbsy]

Thank god Berisha didn't win the Marston Medal. Would have been a blight on a legend's name

 

[Triple E]

That decision just sent the A-League backwards

 

[holy diver]

Even Tony Sage is crying.

 

[red+black]

What a disgrace. Filthy low life divers are a blight on all sports.

Hahaha suck s**t, now we can stop hearing the a league rubbish

A-League is a joke, but no one should be surprised. Almost every week there are terrible decisions. In a sport often decided by a single goal, players will do whatever they can to gain an advantage and referees can't be relied upon to make correct decisions. Soccer is a poorly officiated sport the world over, especially here. How many incorrect off side calls and bullshit penalties are needed before FIFA gets serious?

I've followed Liverpool since the late 70s, have lived in England and seen many games there, been to a few A-League games, but in my opinion the sport is a joke. That won't stop me taking 3 weeks off work to watch the Euro 2012 but not for one second do I believe that the 'world game', the 'beautiful game' is the best sport in the world. The sport needs to be improved, yet it will never happen. There are far too many changes and improvements that need to be made.

Same here, that is why soccer will always in the shadow of Footy and Rugby in this country.

Facebook currently exploding.

Now Berisha was a complete knob when the penalty was awarded but you can't call him a diving cheat - he lost balance and fell over. All hate should be directed at the referee and his linesman who made the horrific decision.

 

[Triple E]

All the trolls coming out in force

 

[holy diver]

I hope they give the ref a champions medal as well. It's the least they can do.

From what I saw he lost balance, but milked it for all it was worth by throwing himself forward. His sole intent was to win a penalty, but you're right, it's ridiculous that a referee officiating the grand final could fall for it.

Ahhhh soccer.
