won't the sydney fans be blowing up that mcflynn is cited and heff is not

[marinermick]

which begs the question:

did heff get off because the incident DID NOT escape the referee's attention?

[Ursus]

Maybe they recognised that he was doing a public service by creaming Milligan.
I am surprised they have not awarded him a medal. ;D
Sydney Unofficial have just heard about it and are warming up.
Give it about an hour and they will be on the boil. ;D

Almost certainly.

I reckon because the ref actually gave us a free kick, the incident technically didn't escape the ref's attention. Whether he was right or wrong, he must have seen it.

Whereas the McFlynn one, the ref didn't see. I did see it on the replay the next day, he stood on Mrdja's arse after Zadkid (or was it Millsy) had already rugby tackled him.

The Cove will be spitting chips! Bout time we got a bit of luck.

[Ursus]

At least next time we play the them Sasho will not have to cop all the booing alone.

I am almost positive that the referee blew the whistle for a Popovic foul on Boogaard (I think). It was a split second before the Heff incident.

Anyway the referee was there and saw the whole thing. It was not like it was in back play as the other two incidents.

Sydney won't be happy.

I wonder how long before Uncle Frank steps in and exerts his authority because things are not going Sydney's way.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

*deep breath*

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHHHAAAA!!!

[djebella]

Proves that we were right at the time:

"SHE FELL OVER"

[shift2]

I think it's brilliant, I could just imagine the phone call to Sydney FC.

FFA: Yes, hello it's the FFA
SFC: Finally, so will the be any citings?!?! It's completely dispicable what happened
FFA: Yeah....there will be citings, can you get McFlynn to come down here on Thursday? Great, thanks for that.

Yeah, the ref blew before Heff did anything, hence play had stopped and Milligan was just being a girl.

[beowulf]

the free kick resulted from a corner. just before it was taken the ref warned some players in the 18 yrd box about pushing. It looked like one of them was Milligan. When the Heff incident occurred as the kick was taken, Heff turned round and raised his elbow. Milligan appeared to be running at him. The ref had a good position and maybe viewed it as Milligan running at Heff. If the ref told the review panel that, it would have influenced their decision. Sydney FC would never see it that way of course!

Just my tu'penny's worth....

post of the week

[Ursus]

I have heard that Sydney FC board, working through an unnamed Scotsman, paid for the hit on Milligan for stuffing them around in France.
When they approached the ref and asked him not to notice he threw in an additional 10% and asked if he could take a swing as well. ;D
The only thing everyone was upset about was that the hit wasn't hard enough.

[Trogdor]

oh yes! this is really going to piss them off...it will be really great it McFlynn gets suspended

Look out Ursus, I can hear Dick No-one mashing away on his typewriter now, with his latest "scoop"

[Ursus]

Over at the Unofficial FC they have quitened down pretty quickly.
They have put up a clip of the stomping incident and are more concerned with the length of suspension to come.

If you can get on it is worth a look, especially for the commentators not seeing it even though it was replayed. Wankers.
