Well Tsekenis is a drug cheat ;)

i agree with you in the sense the referees are poor. They have been all year.

We had a female ref on Saturday night to my surprise for a top of the table clash, she was very inconsistent, poor performance.

We had ivica covic yesterday he wasn’t a bad ref
 


In that short highlights package besides Jesic's first goal I can count at least three or four very good opportunities to extend their lead including Jesic smashing one from distance and hitting the bar & Kuol with a header from inside the 6 yard that somehow went over.
The penalty the keeper raised his studs at head level to an incoming player, if that's not a penalty I don't know what is.

People will always find excuses, Olympic has for 40 years.

The damaging bit of evidence is the leg coming out afterwards to me

Been an interesting little battle for positions between Busek and Maya at Marconi imo.

Maya previously had his position in the starting 11 pretty much locked in but has spent more time on the bench the first half of this season, if I we’re to guess I’d say it’s more to do with discipline than ability. Some costly errors in judgement in the past 6 months from him. Very well done with assist for that first goal on the weekend though and a very good goal last week. He seems to have made the decision to fight and prove the doubters wrong rather than drop his head

On the other hand Busek has done likewise and fought for his position in the team after previously being more likely to come off the bench and has been one of Marconi’s better players so far this year, I thought he played well in that Sydney United v Marconi game at Edensor a few weeks back. Been good at the tail end of the championship and into this npl season with some important contributions

He might have just been overly eager in trying to meet the contact and protect himself, but again, it’s irrelevant. Fairly comprehensive imo, didn’t really play a massive part in the result. Makes Marconi’s mid week loss to Olympic in the cup seem all the more frustrating

MATHET HAT-TRICK GIVES ARMADALE FIRST WIN – NPLWA – MEN’S REVIEW

Armadale have leapfrogged Balcatta Etna at the bottom of the New Balance NPLWA – Men’s table after a 5-0 win in the Week Nine clash at Alfred Skeet Reserve on Saturday afternoon. It was John Baird’s first win as senior coach at Armadale, and it also sent Balcatta to the foot of the table, and Baird said he was delighted with the performance. “The players deserved that result. The way the group has stuck together through a difficult period has been outstanding and Saturday was a reward for all their hard work and belief, I’ve said for a few weeks now that the performances were improving and against Balcatta everything came together for us,” Baird explained. “

“The attitude, commitment and quality from the players was excellent from start to finish. Abraham Mathet was outstanding. His movement, energy and finishing were top class and a hat-trick was fully deserved. He’s worked extremely hard and it was great to see him get rewarded for that effort. I also want to mention everyone around the club because they’ve been different class. The support behind the scenes from staff, volunteers and supporters has been massive, and Saturday’s win was for the whole club.”

The host were ahead on 11 minutes, Abraham Mathet raced into the box and was brought down by Riley Stephenson, and the referee pointed straight to the spot. Mathet picked himself up and sent the keeper the wrong way from the resulting penalty. Then on 25 minutes the visitors were reduced to ten, Stephenson again bringing down Mathet who raced onto a Luke Desmond through ball, the referee awarded the penalty and sent the keeper off. The unfortunate Edward Wilcock was sacrificed, with substitute keeper Chase Manning coming on. The first thing Manning had to do was pick the ball out of the net, with Mathet finding the bottom corner with his penalty.

The hosts added a third early in the second half, Mathet the supplier this time finding Desmond on the edge of the box, who turned past his marker and fired home. Mathet completed his hat-trick just after the hour, when Armadale won a third penalty, Charlie Garnham cross hit the arm of James Fanelli, and Mathet sent Manning the wrong way from the spot. Armadale wrapped up the scoring on 71 minutes, Cherno Bah sent substitute Zachary Pentony down the left, and his cross was turned into his own net by the unfortunate Chris Tilson.

Dianella White Eagles coach Ian Ferguson has returned to his former club Stirling Macedonia and left with all three points after a thrilling 4-3 win at Macedonia Park. “It was a great game for both sets of fans, going 2-0 up then 3-2 down as Stirling had the upper hand,” Ferguson said. “We then made three changes and I thought all the substitutes made a massive contribution to the game, that swung it in our favour. The lads showed character and didn’t give up when 3-2 down and got the result in the end.”

The visitors were ahead on 19 minutes, Cory McNelis raced down the right, and got to the by-line and crossed to Luwi, who headed home. They doubled their lead four minutes later, skipper Sasa Njegic shot on the run flew past Liam Hattersley. Stirling pulled one back just after the half hour mark, Calvin Whitney sent Pacifique Dufitimukiza down the right and he squared the ball to Callum McKenzie, who made no mistake. The hosts took the lead five minutes into the second half, when Euan Cameron’s corner was turned home by Joshua Bilaloski. But Dianella restored parity 16 minutes later, Njegic’s free kick found the unmarked Franc Gamiz Quer at the back post, who fired home.

It was game on, and both sides looked for the winner, but it was Dianella who found it ten minutes from time. Daniel Zivkovic made space down the right and crossed to fellow substitute Asher Nelson, who scored against his former club. “Definitely an entertaining game for the fans on each side for sure,” Eagles striker Albert Luwi said. “We started the game very well and was probably our best start to a game this season but credit to Stirling they capitalised on some lack of concentration from us and put away their chances. They are a top team so it was never going to be an easy game, but I feel we did play a hand in helping them get back into the game. But ultimately very pleased in the end we dug deep and reacted brilliantly to such a poor start to the second half and got the win in the end.”

In the final game Perth Glory have secured their second win of the season, after a 3-1 win against Western Knights at the Sam Kerr Football Centre. Glory hit the front on 21 minutes, a cross into the box found Louis Sollitt, whose shot deflected off a Knights defender and into the net. It was 2-0, when Sollitt was sent clear, and he finished clinically past Robert Sinclair. The Knights pulled one back in the shadows of half time, a long throw into the box wasn’t dealt with, and Jesse Lazzaro swept the ball home from close-range. But it would be Glory who took all three points, when they added a third early in the second half. Maxim Uvarov cross picked out Shaun Mutyavaviri, who got in between two Knights defenders to head home.
