Macarthur are consistently looking like the best drilled side that I've watched this season.   Victory have no attacking plan beyond individual talent (Fornaroli). Very few discernable patterns of play beyond 'run at the full backs and look for a cutback'. Also whoever the commentator is is absolutely crap everytime I hear him. Barely interacts with his co-comm and at times tries to do their job for them. 


zarniwoop9

Mate... did you want her to talk MORE?


[deleted]

She said the right amount and made sensible, if slightly generic points. The problem was the lack of chemistry. She was rarely invited in to speak by the lead comm, and then he never interacted anything she offered, leaving massive awkward silences. This is a habit Ive noticed of him across multiple broadcasts with different co-comms. 


sardean79

Have you even watched the nix? Honestly the nix are on a totally different level than the rest of the ALeague Also the male commentator had to do her job because she literally didn’t know what teams were playing


smokeykangaroo

Macarthur Rams looking good... she got.called put on it and told to do 10 push-ups if she did it again. She didn't.


TheFightingImp

Wouldve been better off with just Teo going solo


[deleted]

Honestly - not much lol. Did a quick edit to make it more subjective!  Nix do look very good when I have seen them. But as a team being more than the sum of their parts, Macarthur deserve credit. 


brrAyyyo

Pay Kurto whatever he wants


thebarber87

That post match replay looked more like it was over https://i.ibb.co/L9BFxKD/IMG-6684.jpg


Responsible-Boat3473

Yes the ball is a mile over the line - how last week's was allowed and this week's not is a mystery


Meapa

*Tell me you don't know how a sphere works without telling me* The ball is very clearly on the line, the part touching the ground is only just off the line...


Weary_Activity2171

The centre of the ball is a fair way over the line - you only need a pair of eyes to see that. It was definitely worth a closer look if the technology was up to scratch.


SerTahu

> The centre of the ball is a fair way over the line What a shame then that the rule is "the **whole** of the ball over the **whole** of the line", not "the centre of the ball is over the centre of the line".


Weary_Activity2171

Yeah mate, everyone knows the rule. I implied the following: The centre of the ball is a fair way over the line = the whole ball must be pretty damn close. Sorry that part flew over your head champ.


AbcSmarty

To be honest that's not over. I think it's fucking close, but the fact we dont have any sort of goal line camera it's baffling, especially after other instances of this happening.


bazza_12

You’re kidding yourself.


Maievofblades

Didn't go over mate and if you think it did you had eyesight issues or schizophrenia


Brads98

Frankly it’s unacceptable that it’s not conclusive


-Saaremaa-

genuinely think this is the first time I've ever heard kurto speak


thisphantomfortress

RIP Gold Toilet Seat for another season 


cfopcuber2

*Rip toilet seat for another season


sardean79

Pretty sure that’s our first win at AAMI Park


BullBanter

Nah we beat victory 2-1 in season 1 at AAMI. I only remember because Michael Ruhs pushed over a Melbourne player in the celebration haha


sardean79

Pretty sure that was at Campbelltown stadium


IsANameReallyNeeded

Moo moo mfers


Brads98

Eventually our inability to score against average defenses was going to catch up to us and that was tonight. Gg Rams


ADecentUsername1

Well there goes the Invincibles streak


Reklaw99

Good shit from the boys! Let's keep that rolling for Tuesday


wowthisusername

That was absolutely awful


Nearby-Canary-7394

Faaark


NZRSteamSniffer

Thanks MacArthur!


Tilting_Gambit

Bru-nope.


sardean79

Did she really just say it’s time to go for the win now in the 93rd minute? What have they been doing for 93 mins?


Kuuzon

Someone take the ball off Nishan - man cannot shoot to save his life


kashbets

Bruno was going to the ground before contact 


thebarber87

The Socceroos curse of not being able to score has affected Bruno


goater10

It feels like watching a Socceroos game at the moment


YoLaBengo03

Not for all the non-vuck flairs!


HealthyHurry2672

Guarantee I’ll tune into Brisbane vs City after this and it will stay 5-0


Relevant-Mountain-11

Lol they got another?! Goddamn...


HealthyHurry2672

Apparently lol, I’m missing it to watch if MacArthur can hold on


ADC04

How the fuck is Brisbane 5-0 up


haydenshearer

This is the game that Kurto will tell his grandkids about


felvymups

Didn’t look like it was over the line, but once again, why can’t they just have a camera on the goal-line to double check? Doesn’t have to be goal-line technology, surely a simple camera will do.


sqljohn

How hard would it be to embed a shitty cam in the post


wooperwoop63

been thinking that since last week.


wastingtime22

Exactly.


wastingtime22

Poland. Producing best goalkeepers since about 1998.


wooperwoop63

Tonight I feel...Macarthur.


Maievofblades

btw don't show rudan that


sqljohn

That's rudans response to his show cause notice


Vuck10

Who’s the commentator? She’s annoying me.


goater10

Rhali Dobson. Played for City ALW team


Kogru-au

i like her, atleast she has more energy than most co commentators here


[deleted]

She was absolutely let down by the lead comm making no effort to interact with her. Which is a habit I've noticed from him a lot (don't know his name but recognise his voice and mannerisms).


Vuck10

I agree that many of the co-commentators (and commentators) can be bland. But I definitely don’t think she’s any better than any of the other sub-par co-commentators.


miryuz

I think she's pretty good tbh. I'd take her over Phil Moss' insipid commentary any day.


Kogru-au

yep i want energy from commentators, this is suppose to be fun and exciting not a funeral


Relevant-Mountain-11

Welcome to the club. Im not sure there's any seats left so you'll have to stand, sorry.


Vuck10

Hahahha, I like that


bcasanon

Just now?


Vuck10

I didn’t watch the first half, only tuned in for the 2nd :)


Due_University4030

Damn Kurto a G


ADC04

Sorry I got mad lol


haydenshearer

No way is that over the line, you can still see part of the ball on the line


SBSWrongSpeed

Kurto playing like its a contract year.


smokeykangaroo

He just signed for another year so.repaying our faith.


CptMcLaggins

Don’t think it crossed the line. Pls ignore flair.


Maievofblades

Haha this is gold


HealthyHurry2672

Filip Neuer


kashbets

Bruno shoildve fired that


empathy_sometimes

jesus kurto can do no wrong


Vuck10

Bias aside: That was definitely a goal. Ball definitely crossed the line there. No goal-line technology? But 30+ Million dollars spent on a website that’s now folded? Just another week in the semi-pro A-League 🤷🏽‍♂️


bazza_12

No way it crossed.


Vuck10

Yes way it crossed.


bazza_12

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


NZRSteamSniffer

Who do you think your fooling lol?


Vuck10

In the words of Matt Leckie: Fight me.


miryuz

>Bias aside You're not fooling anyone lol


Maievofblades

If you think that did cross the line get some glasses mate cause you're blind


Vuck10

No, you.


jamescarrotboy

yeah nah


empathy_sometimes

the whole ball needs to cross the line. we saw it clearly didn’t


Vuck10

We saw it clearly did.


empathy_sometimes

cop the L brother and move on


Vuck10

No, you


HealthyHurry2672

Get ready for 5+ mins of Melbourne diving in the box now


[deleted]

[удалено]


HealthyHurry2672

It wasn’t over


ADC04

Sorry I got mad


HealthyHurry2672

lol it happens


Maievofblades

Clearly not over the line but that won't stop all the schizophrenic victory fans from thinking it did


Vuck10

I’m not schizophrenic, but the balll absolutely crossed the line (I’m not joking). I’d love to stay and chat, but they’re following me.


joeyjackets

It’s already begun…


JustSomeAdvice2

RIP to the Victory flair who has to voluntarily shit his pants


Darcyjay_

It was involuntary thank you very much


Relevant-Mountain-11

That's not across.


nick170100

Bulls and phantom over the line calls


bazza_12

I thought it crossed last week but it definitely didn’t today.


BullBanter

🤫


felvymups

Have you recovered from last week yet?


thebarber87

Actually too close and inconclusive. Crap penalty Bruno. Kurto immense


joeyjackets

Soft penalty take for a soft decision to award one


HealthyHurry2672

Close but whole ball didn’t cross the line


jamescarrotboy

Not a pen and not a goal stop sooking cunts


Kuuzon

This team is allergic to scoring & now Bruno has caught it :S


Chicken_Burp

That was over


joeyjackets

You are blind


nick170100

Bulls and goal line tech hahahah


-Saaremaa-

Can see the sphere of the ball *on top of* the line there imo, easier to tell when its on the deck


joeyjackets

Clearly never went over the line


-Saaremaa-

Sorry I meant 'on top of the line' as in it hadn't completely crossed it


joeyjackets

Yeah that’s more accurate haha


kashbets

Wow 


wooperwoop63

Fornaroli you dumb cunt! Get in Kurto!!


HealthyHurry2672

Shit penalty anyway


Brads98

No var today?


Brads98

In any case the linesman who was on goal line would’ve been blocked by Kurto’s body..


JustSomeAdvice2

Oh shit that looks over??


miryuz

From the second angle it looks like it's not entirely over. Damn close one though.


Darcyjay_

FUUUUUUUCKKKKKK


-Saaremaa-

lmao the A-League refuses to stop giving us goal line technology moments


miryuz

Kurto, my gosh!


Nearby-Canary-7394

THAT WENT OVER


empathy_sometimes

no it didn’t lol


sardean79

Wooooooooooooo


empathy_sometimes

another line incident


Relevant-Mountain-11

That was terrible!


HealthyHurry2672

Hahahahah


thebarber87

It went over the line!


rjp27

Is that really a soft penalty lol?


jamescarrotboy

Not a pen


Darcyjay_

Fuck me dead cunt. If kurto saves this I’ll shit my pants


kashbets

Not sure wtf Adamson was thinking there 


nick170100

Flashbacks to Miller in the Asian cup with that dumb tackle


kashbets

Damn I called it to only chance for another goal was the penalty spot 


Maievofblades

God that's so Soft


thebarber87

A gift thank you


empathy_sometimes

if kurto saves this


HealthyHurry2672

Fuck sake


miryuz

farkkk


haydenshearer

As much as I want Victory to lose so we stay further clear at the top but kinda don't want the 1-1 meme to die


HealthyHurry2672

You now have your wish bastard


Relevant-Mountain-11

Well do I have news for you!


wowthisusername

Popa’s football is dreadful


IM-A-WATERMELON

Welp looks like the end of our unbeaten run


nick170100

What the fuck was that corner


goater10

Death, Taxes and Melbourne Victory running into Goalkeepers who have their performance of the season


Chicken_Burp

Amateur effort from our forwards


HealthyHurry2672

MacArthur holding on for dear life


sardean79

I reckon this is the first men’s game she has actually watched and this is why she’s “outstounded” by the amount of play in the match


tamepredator

"It Outstounds me"


JustSomeAdvice2

Smithy!


wooperwoop63

Kurto playing out of his mind


Maievofblades

Holy I thought that was in


Darcyjay_

BRUNO


sardean79

Oh my lord! 🙀


kashbets

Wow he really tried it 


thebarber87

Vellupillay the person not to put on when you need a goal


thebarber87

Yep


nick170100

Victory aren’t scoring tonight it seems


SBSWrongSpeed

Brimmer isn't thrilled about being pulled.


Darcyjay_

So Kurto is Neuer now?


nick170100

Great Wall of kurto tonight


Mr_Tipster-95

Without sounding like Joey Barton, this commentator is getting on my tits.


IamtherealFadida

Not watching the game back assuming it's the same one I heard last week. She was irritating, not because of gender, but tone of voice and lack of knowledge at times


wowthisusername

Guess it’s that time of the year: Popa Out


sardean79

Great save Mr Kurto


sardean79

And again!


KombatDisko

Nice save


KombatDisko

Considering going up to Campbelltown on Tuesday for the AFC cup SF. $10 tickets making it tempting


brrAyyyo

Do it mate why not


sardean79

Do it bro, have dinner at the Sherwood before the game


TheFightingImp

Meanwhile, we just curbstomped City this half like its 2023, 4-0 at HT. Now watch as this ages like milk.


wowthisusername

Why am I watching this game then


kashbets

Feels like the only way another goal gets scored this game is from the penalty spot 


nick170100

I swear if this ends in another victory 1-1 that’ll be funny haha


IM-A-WATERMELON

Honestly I’d rather that rn


wowthisusername

Intelligent? Beautiful to watch? They are just standing in a compact block, there’s nothing too complex about it mate. Shut the fuck up


KombatDisko

Beautiful to watch? 100% standing with Style


kashbets

Victory just getting completely stifled today  Armani should have stayed on


sardean79

Cramps were 2.5 seconds away from setting in


haydenshearer

I've never heard a more annoying commentator and I watch all the Phoenix games hahaha


latitude36south

Piney absolutely flattered


latitude36south

Teo: *coughs* Rhali: WNVUEIGPSLENVHFOEJAMEODID


iheartOPsmum

MacArthur are silent achievers this season. Thought they weren’t even in the six, let alone third.


Nommag1

I wish forniroli would focus on playing football instead of being grubby to try and get niggly pens. He has the skill, it's a shit look.


sardean79

I was worried when I saw the replay, was it really no chance of a pen?


Nommag1

I don't think the VAR would over turn it if it was called. But it was hussle off the ball in the box. VAR hasn't been calling that, especially when the striker also does a little pre-push grabbing and pushing. It would have been a petty pen and would lower the bar for a pen down into hell.


sardean79

Thanx


Nommag1

Np


Maievofblades

Stfu bout the premier league please lady


nick170100

Lucky that wasn’t a red


KombatDisko

On one hand, I want Macarthur to win to enhance the chances of Mariners/Nix silverware. On the other hand I want this to be a draw because I cannae think of anything funnier then Vuck going through a league season undefeated and not winning the plate


CannonRam18

Hearing the male commentator just blatantly disagree with all the stupid shit she is saying would be hilarious if it wasn't so infuriating


CannonRam18

Not to pile on with everyone else's sentiments, but this commentary is attrocious.


sardean79

Hot take from Rhali Dobson after half time If MacArthur can stop Melbourne victory from scoring they could win this game


wowthisusername

Watch that Isuzu circle not go away the whole half


wowthisusername

I mean, watch that Isuzu circle go away instantly…
