I said it in thread but it is worth pointing out again.
‘The good teams tend to get more favourable calls because they are better and have the ball more.’ Annersley, 2022
And yet, despite being up by heaps, suddenly we get smashed 8-1 in the penalties (we got 1 early). Parra, I.e the worse team, conceded just 2, one of which was a blatant sin binning.
There was so much crap that went against us too.
When Tesi got the ball back in the corner, they stopped us from playing the ball for a good 8 seconds (the one that he knocked backwards into the ground). Nothing done about it.
The touch from Sivo on the ball that deviated and went sailing over the side line. "No clear evidence, inconclusive, keep review" The ball CHANGED angles and his fingers bent back.
Yeah righto:
The Penalty on Payne Haas for not being square at marker, doesn't help the guy was not straight, playing on an angle.
Yeah righto:
Defensive position by Capewell to take a kick which was coming straight at him
Moses mistimes the jump and denies him a chance at the ball and doesn't hit it - else it's a knock-on into Mam, if he missed it, is that not a textbook penalty? If he hit it, it's a knock on? But no, six-again for Eels as it came off Mam.
Then Sivo scores his second.
Sutton called "touched" by brisbane on a ball kicked through, missed by a mile:
Conveniently prevented Mam from racing into tired - non-set defence and gave them a minute to recover and smash us.
