YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

As we head into the 2nd week of the finals (on the way to the "grany") you will all no doubt be thrilled to know that Perth Glory ripped the the chest of melbourne open pulled out their heart and scored 3 goals (Smeltz hatrick -sign him up Nige) to move into the next round.

Next Saturday night at Perth Oval (NIB Stadium) Glory host Wellington in the minor semi final.

I grew up with term soccer being used rather than football. ( Association Football, Rugby Football ), so when did it change. The truth is, it never officially did, but just eroded into a generalisation.

I weekly magazine I bought was called "Soccer Star" It was bloody good too.

Any thoughts on yesterday Glory fan?

I've gotta say, I thought it was a penalty, although a soft one. Miller clearly flicked out at Berisha and tried to bring him down. Also telling was Miller's initial reaction when the penalty was given...just turned around and walked away. I reckon he knew he'd made contact.

What's sad is the usual hysterical media reaction. All the AFL and rugger buggers (journos & fans) coming out of the woodwork saying soccer is a game for cheats and divers. I really despair for sport in this country sometimes.

No penalty! end of, full stop.

Player has nose broken and 50 stitches, and offender gets a yellow?

4 minutes of injury time... penalty awarded in 95th minute

Referee is dating Roar head of media

then... THEN...

they award the man of the match award to a Roar player.....only to realise they had "made a mistake" and it was supposed to be awarded to Glory's Jacob Burns.

A more cynical man would question the legitimacy of this result.

CVNTS!!!

:D Thought you might say something like that. Didn't know that about the ref's dating arrangements lol

I still reckon Miller clips his left leg just as he's about to plant it. Even with my limited ability, I know there's nothing worse than being ankle tapped just as you're about to shoot.

Mind you, doesn't excuse Berisha going down like a sack of spuds and then running around as though he's already scored the winner. Dickhead.

Wasn't a Peno ruined what was an otherwise intreguing game. Crowd was amazing!

I wish some of those "fans" would turn up during the regular season. They averaged 13,000 I think

Crowd was superb 53,000 is a great result, really disapointing that all that will get talked about is diving and "soccer" being unable to organise a root in a whorehouse.

Millers toe touched his foot, but he just had an air swing and swung himself off balance.

Disgusting decision, didnt ask Lino...was out of position, shambles.

Same here TBF, 10,000 on a good week, mind you apparently about 2000 travelled hat tip to them... 5000k's is a fair awayer

Nice. But what's that white powder up his nose? No wonder he scores so many goals

Hahaha.

That's part of the reason they have a GF generates interest and money.

It was all explained on SBS tonight by those nice men Foz and Drilic. Miller caught Berisha's left calf, making his left foot clip the back of the ball resulting in an air shot. Think about it, would you dive if you had a clear chance to bury it six yards out?

I appreciate this is a painful time for you, but I think the ref made the right call. No doubt followed by a call to his girlfriend in the Roar press box :P

Who cares Ange Posticoglu has quit the roar after winning his 2nd titile in 2 years and is heading to the Victrory :scarf:

We're buying the league, we're buying the league! :ph34r:
