He should be suspended. He was almost as bad as Matthew Lloyd!
At one stage I thought the telecast was on 5 second delay because that's how long after North decided to fall to the ground once Fornarolli brushed his cheek.

Dont forget Berisha also

He does go down easy sometimes no doubt, but he's not as bad as many make out. People always point out the Perth GF when he was at Brisbane, but for mine that was 100% a penalty. The biggest offender by far over the course of the ALeague has been Thomas Broich.

Its a joke but its not like "Fall n Rolli" hasn't done it himself...
You just can't help but bring Fornarolli into all conversations.

Norths actions were a disgrace and nothing else compares.

Not even Berisha comes close.

Crazy the Carlton Victory bring the greatest import ever into this argument.

Imagine the woe is us and conspiracies if that penalty was given against them hahaha.

Anyway, the right to have that mindset has recently been given short shift recently on this thread. :hihi
 
This thread just gets wackier and wackier. Be proud boys, I don't even try to understand the bizarre stuff that gets posted here now.

Anyway, SFC win again, and Adelaide finally get a win. Surely it's too late for them this season. Big games next week, SFC and City, and Victory away to Wanderers who finally had a good win as well even if it was only the Mariners.
 
I'm becoming more convinced by the week that we need at least a couple more teams and relegation asap. I know that there are clear structural issues to address, but seriously some teams need the pressure of relegation to force them to lift their game. Newcastle and Wellington are just plain awful. CCM is better but still not at the level required. Merrick wont last till xmas imo..

heading up to Sydney for the WSW game. my first away game since march, so i'm looking forward to it and looking forward to continuing our recent good record against them. first trip to ANZ since the Asian cup final as well, which should bring a different dynamic.

with the squad they have, I thought wellington would be challenging for the title. while the have loaded up their front half fairly well, the back half is poor. even Durante, who has been a solid defender over the years is reverting niggly tactics because he's in serious decline.

Uncle Ernie has just resigned.

Always a good coach in my mind - great at building a team culture and bringing youngsters along.
 
so the wellington game has been rescheduled for Tuesday January 17. time for me to put on my tin foil hat and complain about conspiracies... take a look at this for a draw:

Brisbane at AAMI park Fri Jan 13
Wellington away on Tue Jan 17
Perth away on Sat Jan 21
Sydney at Etihad on Jan 26.

absolutely fuming :veryupset :veryupset :veryupset
 
Ian you do know it is pre-ordained that the championship has to go to either Bling or GS City this year, surely ?

Yep. The a-league is rigged. May as well just play the final next week and get it over and done with.

Relevance Deprivation Syndrome has just kicked in.....
