Did anyone watch the NBN news on Saturday night while recovering?
Well, Richard Money when talking about the scumcastle v mariners games claimed, and I quote "the better team of the two lost". Now I ask, if they are the better team, how did they lose???

To be honest, I think the better team lost. In saying that, I thought we played better football than you guys, held the ball and controlled most of both games, BUT everytime you lot went foward you did look dangerous. We didnt look like scoring, because Milicic is way too slow. We need a new striker and wingers.
What I do know is that (both semi-finals actually) were quality and both very exciting.

Like I said, you looked dangerous going foward. You counter-attak to great effect. I think we dominated the midfield and most of the game, but lost it in the final third.
We could have been 2 or 3 nil up in the first game, which we dominated. And seriously, if we had of put a few goals away in the first half, you guys would have struggled in the end. Seeing as we missed those chances, the mariners were very good at taking advantage of our mistakes, and always looked like they were going to score going foward.
The tie really should have had more goals...

With the resources Fox have you'd think they'd be able to do a lot better! |

Watch the games again.
Mariners tactic - get the ball down and pass it, use lengthy possession to move defensive and midfield troops forward. Hence Heffernans goal.
Jets tactic - Boot in long into the corner behind Heffernan for Coveny to chase and try win possession. Your only goal over 180 minutes came from a booted ball that was headed up twice then bounced and was volleyed from miles out. Money said that Beauchamp and Clark probably haven't been tested that much all season...he's right, because all your players did was boot it straight to the front where they defend.
So if you think this horrible horrible style of playing was used more effectively than our ball on the floor football, then sure, you were the better team. bypassing a midfield with nick carle in it is criminal.

i just love it how the kid weasels his way out of it when we catch him saying some stupid remark like:
"To be honest, I think the better team lost. In saying that, I thought we played better football than you guys, held the ball and controlled most of both games..."

Its all down to the quality of the respective coaches - Money(shot) delights in Zelic/Reddy hooooooofing the ball into a corner for coveny to chase while 9 other players stand around and watch the ball being pinged right back at them.
Even most Div2 and semi pro English teams have abandoned that crap because you will always be cut to ribbons by a passing team. What happens is that your team gets shagged out after about 70 mins because they spend so much energy trying to get the ball back

I still think the better (most dominant team) lost. So I'm not weaseling my way out of anything.
The team with the better finishing went through.
