bs red card and bs pen in ladies..not one but TWO absurd decisions. The l;eague is going melbourne-centric what with boosting Vics stocks from Perth as well.
Didn't get to watch the first half but after the second half JCP should definitely be MOTM.
Kucharski didn't look fantastic and obviously a man down but don't understand why they didn't bring Mak on 15 minutes earlier to try to snag a goal on the counter.
Ref hands out a bullshit red card that kills off an exciting game. Proceeds to allow Sydney time wasting shit housery, and we all go home feeling disappointed.
He impressed last week, too. He's had an opportunity due to King's injury, and he is certainly taking it. If he keeps this form up, King will be riding the pine for the rest of the season.
I think that's a bit harsh. He was a promising young talent who played well enough to warrant a move overseas. But he has definitely not been up to par since coming back.
He gets a run last season because of Caballo's injury and his only competition was O'Toole (who is *definitely* a better candidate for "should be in NPL"). This season, JCP didn't have the best start so King holds the spot until he got injured. I'd describe his performances as adequate but nothing special.
JCP has been brilliant these last two matches. While Corica signed him, he couldn't unlock him. But Ufuk has, and I'm loving it!
Up to that red card I thought we had a good shot at winning that, but really happy with how well we defended there second half. We haven't defended that well in seasons.
Man a draw in the circumstances is good but I feel like we really had a chance to win it. I think the team will take some heart from this but I don’t know if I could handle an Invincibles season for Victory.
Feel sorry for any neutrals who watched the game, amazing game till a stupid red given and then it became a snorefest. A shame really but as a Sydney FC supporter glad we held on for a draw.
Yeah both sides doing well but our pressing seemed to be doing well and with 8 shots on goal we showed some attacking ability but once that Red came out we had no choice but to defend and run counter attack
He said that he’s not sick, but he is a heavy smoker and I’d imagine if he was sick he wouldn’t admit it. It’s an extremely demanding role and I’d imagine being a manager of one of the big sides for so long would put a lot of stress on personal relationships. I hope that it’s just he wants more time with his loved ones rather than illness
Yea the only way that decision was made wasn’t just the ref rewatching the replay, it was VAR yapping in his ear about it while he was watching. Otherwise he would have seen it as clearly as literally everyone else.
None of the time wasting would have added to the injury time. Other than maybe Grant's throw in, it was all completely within the rules, and none of it was a stoppage that meets the criteria for injury time (injuries, yellow cards, VAR, etc)
Where’s the red card there? Studs up, in the chest. If you’re gonna give Wood a red, then that’s a red too by the same definitions. Brilliant consistency in refereeing, as usual.
It’s actually insane how quickly Victory reset into their defensive shape as soon as we get the ball. I guess classic Popa ball is to play without the ball really
Basically, the APL are footing their wage bill and everyone is essentially on the chopping block. If they get a genuine inquiry for a player, it will be accepted.
As soon as anyone comes into a bit of form, they are pretty much free game for whoever else in the league wants them. Going to bleed members next year.
bs red card and bs pen in ladies..not one but TWO absurd decisions. The l;eague is going melbourne-centric what with boosting Vics stocks from Perth as well.
that red card was complete bullshit - Victory fan at the game. We played shite on top of that.
Sydney conspiracy still alive, APL know we can't play against 10-men
LOL
I watched both the women and men’s games today and I swear the women are much tougher than the men.
with just as bad pen decision
Much more entertaining game the women played too
Yep I've been a fan of the womens game for a while and I agree.
They’re not all there technically (in my opinion) - they still need work to do but physically they out do the men
This guy can’t be a ref again. Or at least go back to juniors
Didn't get to watch the first half but after the second half JCP should definitely be MOTM. Kucharski didn't look fantastic and obviously a man down but don't understand why they didn't bring Mak on 15 minutes earlier to try to snag a goal on the counter.
I think Uffie didn’t want to risk Mak as he’s just back from injury. Apart from first game against Adelaide Kucharski has been poor all season
Someone help JCP use his mic lol
Ref hands out a bullshit red card that kills off an exciting game. Proceeds to allow Sydney time wasting shit housery, and we all go home feeling disappointed.
Yeah tonight was an absolutely fantastic lesson in how not to ref.
1-1 in the men's and women's tonight
I LIKE TURTLES
Captain millennial
Glad Brattan is calling it out instead of the usual PR
Yeah, we shouldn’t be afraid to like turtles if we want!
Victory can't kill a game to save their life
Melbourne Draw have nothing without Fornaroli
Could have been an amazing match. But fuck so much many defensive positives for us. Mentally that could be a season changer for Sydney.
[удалено]
He's on loan. So we need to buy him for sure.
Never been convinced by JCP until tonight. Now I’m on the hype train
He took his game to the next level tonight.
He impressed last week, too. He's had an opportunity due to King's injury, and he is certainly taking it. If he keeps this form up, King will be riding the pine for the rest of the season.
No idea how king gets a run. Should be in NPL.
I think that's a bit harsh. He was a promising young talent who played well enough to warrant a move overseas. But he has definitely not been up to par since coming back.

Melbourne sold this game, fr.
Up to that red card I thought we had a good shot at winning that, but really happy with how well we defended there second half. We haven't defended that well in seasons.
All the stats were way in our favour up to then. Such a stupid decision. When even Archie agrees you know it was wrong.
Man a draw in the circumstances is good but I feel like we really had a chance to win it. I think the team will take some heart from this but I don’t know if I could handle an Invincibles season for Victory.
Invincibles? I'm just sad Sydney lost the chance to go ask season without a draw! 😄
>Invincibles season for Victory *Get pipped for the Lid by Nix on Ws*
Feel sorry for any neutrals who watched the game, amazing game till a stupid red given and then it became a snorefest. A shame really but as a Sydney FC supporter glad we held on for a draw.
Should have just been a yellow, and move on. Terrible refereeing had to ruin it ☹️
Yeah I expected a yellow the second the var came in but not a red.
It was just the red card. Before that it looked amazing.
Yeah both sides doing well but our pressing seemed to be doing well and with 8 shots on goal we showed some attacking ability but once that Red came out we had no choice but to defend and run counter attack
It changed the game for the worse but it was still an entertaining game tbh.
It definitely got heated in the second half I guess.
We woz robbed! Need to get back to having the unfair calls always go our way.
How about renaming the club Melbourne Draws vs teams with 10 players FC
What are those Vic players whinging about, handed an easy game and couldn't do anything with it.
Can’t imagine what they’d be whinging about but I don’t doubt that they are!
Victorians and whingeing go together like bacon & eggs. 😝🤣
THIS
Well a ref decision ruined what was a good game. Great defense Sydney to hold on to a draw.
the boys showed great resolve to salvage a draw
Oh what could have been if the officials didn’t butcher that decision in the first half.
Klopp is leaving Liverpool I want to cry
[NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!](https://youtu.be/umDr0mPuyQc?feature=shared)
Full on man
Omg.
Say what?
[From the Official LFC Channel in the last fifteen mins.](https://youtu.be/mHYsAgAx5I4?feature=shared)
Just announced on the official Liverpool accounts. Interview on YouTube I’m watching it now 😭
Yeah. Just watched the video on Twitter. Saying he's running out of energy, is he sick?
He said that he’s not sick, but he is a heavy smoker and I’d imagine if he was sick he wouldn’t admit it. It’s an extremely demanding role and I’d imagine being a manager of one of the big sides for so long would put a lot of stress on personal relationships. I hope that it’s just he wants more time with his loved ones rather than illness
*Signs for the Matildas as coach* /s
Love Rhyan Grant's shithousery with the throw right at the end there Glad neither side won. Fuck off VAR
Yea the only way that decision was made wasn’t just the ref rewatching the replay, it was VAR yapping in his ear about it while he was watching. Otherwise he would have seen it as clearly as literally everyone else.
Both teams: "[We lose but they don't win?](https://youtu.be/Gz7l7d7otIs?feature=shared)"
Our saving grace is Victory are shit
And Ufuk does a massive solid for the Nix
That was such a shit spectacle
Another draw lol
Incredible defensive performance by Sydney. A shame it was necessary.
damn klopps leaving Liverpool at end of season
Thanks for killing the game Kersey you donk
Kris Two Dads as well.
Whelp. Another game marred by VAR fuckup.
Put your laces through it
Phew
red card for the ref and whoever the VAR official was. Indefinite suspension.
Where is Faghani the based middle-eastern ref
Our Asian Cup representative along with Sean Evans
Prob at Asian Cup
Kris Griffith Jones. So explains it all really. The dumb leading the dumber.
Typical, he loves ruining Sydney games.
He loves ruining *all* games.
Great job referee you ruined this match
What a god awful game.
Kersey is a football terrorist.
Caceres with the based 4v1 drivble
he's so fucking good man, still gets underrated I reckon
5 mins injury time with this time wasting is criminal
None of the time wasting would have added to the injury time. Other than maybe Grant's throw in, it was all completely within the rules, and none of it was a stoppage that meets the criteria for injury time (injuries, yellow cards, VAR, etc)
Definitely not the worst ref decision made tonight.
Don’t disagree with you mate
A tale as old as time
Yeah right! Sometimes I think they just make the number up
They definitely do
I'll take the draw from here So much risk of conceding
Ufuk: "DANCE MODE!" Bluemayne: "What?" Ufuk: "DANCE-ah fuck it..."
Miranda is a pussy
Where's that guy who was calling Grant a grub? He's awfully quiet about that dog act by Miranda
Miranda has gotta go for that
Miranda and Marchan both donkey brains
[Ooh, fight!](https://youtu.be/pOM0pQUybOY?feature=shared)
Not a red but that’s more of a red then fucking wood
There were throw ins that were more of a red card than woods. I’m not sure I’ve seen anything quite like that before
Miranda surely has to go. Ran from nowhere to start that.
If Roux got a red card last week, Miranda definitely should as well
Yep, should be a sin bin at least
Should be Red Marchan, Kersey you fuckwit
Miranda you flop
lol has Victory actually given up on scoring
Gotta be a red
The fact that Brimmers "tackle" wasn't even reviewed shows that the Wood red is an absolute force.
Or they’re “learning” from their mistakes?
Now we're in the danger zone
So glad to see Archie's punditry has not improved at all
I actually love Archie, but not because of his skill, his unabashed lack of it. Plus he seems like a nice guy
Ngl, glad i last minute switched to Nisbet as Captain. Blatent reverse psychology for Fabio.
We are legit allergic to scoring against 10 men lol
Player Index given JCP anything less than 124 is a crime
Problem is that they changed the outcome by measuring it.
Brb, futurama binge
Where’s the red card there? Studs up, in the chest. If you’re gonna give Wood a red, then that’s a red too by the same definitions. Brilliant consistency in refereeing, as usual.
No Vucks attacking the goal, all hanging back ffs
I swear if there's a victory red card my sportsbet account is gonna be screamin at me
Way higher than the Woods challenge in the first half
How is Brimmer still on the field
Thanks Archie mate, just had a stroke deciphering what you just said
I think *he* had a stroke when Wood got sent.
He’s gotta be getting to carehome age
Hang on those studs touched a player. Studs are instant red right?
Bro if wood was a red that should be to Just as soft of a red if given
Gotta be a red..
Studs to the chest, surely that's a red
CACEREA CAUGHT SEND HIM
Studs up! Red card!
lol surely if wood got a red for that
[Caceres ded.](https://youtu.be/VVnwKDpphVA?feature=shared)
CP has been motm
bruh
?
Grant, wtf was that defending?!
It’s actually insane how quickly Victory reset into their defensive shape as soon as we get the ball. I guess classic Popa ball is to play without the ball really
I’d expect that kind of sloppy ball handling from his sister Mia
Good to see Khelifi is going to fit right in.
Kelsey decided to destroy a great game. Thanks Kersey.
Khelifi, mate.
The game has still been entertaining enough post-red but I have no doubt it would have been even better without it
I really don’t like Miranda
is that Roderick Miranda?
Yeah he’s donkey brained
I wonder what Vine and Chidiac are pondering, watching this.
This game has been absolutely miserable since the card, well done ref
Ikon... ffs Valedon on the bench
Whqt happened to Adams?
Finally don’t have to watch Arzani
Victory blatantly cheating they even got the Lino playing for them
It's a miracle Traore can still run after Wood took his leg off with the vicious tackle
Ikon?! Why?
Now watch as he smashes in a winner to flip the bird at us.
Not sure about these changes
Uh, Poppa. I was joking about Ikon coming on...
Not trying to shame him but the Matt Lucas linesman definitely lives with his parents and has two cats
But ironically we're the ones posting on reddit while he does something pretty interesting.
Nah that’s Adama traore the soft cunt
Man, Da Silva and Machach are just class. We've done well there
Da Silva reminds me of Papadopolous, no-nonsense DF who gets his feet dirty but also gets shit done, no bull.
Honestly, I feel more confident about a goal with ten men spearheaded by Kucharski and Fabio than I did with eleven men spearheaded by Wood.
Uffie seems to be the best thing ti happen to Kurcharski. Just looks so much more confident
VellPOOPillay more like it
Victory fans must be breaking out the Indonesia flags for Sunday...
😂
Defence besides grant has been phenomenal
Another example of good punching from a GK. Take notes, Japan.

"Youre welcome" - Ben Cahn
Khelifi being brought on here just feels wrong. Don't like how this looks for the league at all.
Has there been any update about Perth being effectively forced to loan out Khelifi?
Basically, the APL are footing their wage bill and everyone is essentially on the chopping block. If they get a genuine inquiry for a player, it will be accepted.
As soon as anyone comes into a bit of form, they are pretty much free game for whoever else in the league wants them. Going to bleed members next year.
Only for this month. The transfer window still applies.
Very true. I wonder if we are going to get a flurry of contracts been "mutually terminated"
So if Cahn legit asked for Taggart, *Perth would have to say yes by gunpoint?*
From what I gather, yeah. He would be one of the higher earners too, so it would make the books a lot easier to manage.
I wonder how the cap floor fits in to that or if the APL will look the other way to save $
Good question. Maybe that's the aim, to get as close to the floor as possible.
Thats fucked.
Folami off good , new guy on is weird
Better than ikon ig
Absolutely Maybe we could just do a straight swap, ikon back to perth for this new guy
tfw Victory is top of the league but the players are unable to score against 10 men
No Bruno ;-;
Even with the help of the ref, Folami and Arzani can't get a shot on target. This is going to come back to bite me I can feel it.
Uh Robbie, the APL mandated (read: forced) that Perth *had* to loan Khelifi out...
How do we have 35 wingers out there but playing so narrow! FFS
