For Gyfox:






After re reading the Laws of the Game I am now no longer sure if Kewell's incident was even a penalty.

It also does confirm that Cahill did not give away a penalty.

And if that was in reverse??

This forum who have been full of people saying fuck the ref, serbian cheats etc..

Just saying...

Sour grapes from Serbia. That was never a hand ball, and they know it.

They deserved to miss out on the 16.

meh. as stated before, antic needs some whine to wash down the south pacific sandwich he's been served within the last month.

should just stfu about the penalty. we had plenty of chances and shouldve been up 3-0 in the first half. i am extremely bummed coz we only needed a goal to progress. and tbh i cried after the match, but thats just passion. but shit happens in football. we gotta turn our attention the euros and restore some national pride. what i hate tho is when people who didnt watch the match, only saw the result, jump to conclusions about what went on. they dont know that we dominated for the most part, and i ended up copping so much shit from school today from such people.

Typical serbs stfu and don't be such sore losers, we just wanted it more then serbia so dont try and take away from our victory with your whinging, petty crap.

It wasn't a hand ball because it was unintentional, just like the Kewell handball.

who are the whingers?

Jam it as far up your arses as it, whatever that may ne, will fit

AUS 2 SER 1

I have only one question for Radomar Antic, in reference to claims that they should have had a penalty...

Are you serious?

That's football.

Sooks, clearly was not a penalty, Cahill has no opportunity to move his hand away from the ball approaching it. Sore losers I think.

Wow they think they got the hard end of the stick did they even scout any of our games, what a wanker

How the hell could anyone call that a handball, FIFA even reminded the referees at the start of the world cup that ball to hand incidents inside three feet were not to be given as free kicks. All those wanting to call it a handball are the same ones that want to kick the soceroos and drag them down no matter what the circumstances are, yeah just like you liverpool. Serbia got all the soft free kicks in this game. I can honestly say that if the shoe was on the other foot i would never have expected to get a penalty for that. Get a life you fucking eurosnobs.

They certainly got a few soft free kicks. I thought they would have complained more about the offside than the hand ball as I thought that was very close and they only showed one reply. It was almost like we have a reputation for foul play. Mmmm yeah maybe we do. We also should have a reputation for not chucking ourselves on the ground when ever someone comes near us but that also didn't seem to sway the ref and we didn't get some free kicks I thought could have gone our way. Lucas started to show a bit of it when he got whacked (accidently) in the back off the head and fell down holding his face. You're a danger to yourself and a burden to others. Or is he? Will it take a change in our football culture so that we do fall down and milk free kicks. Until then are we some niave football back water that will never make the semis? F!@^( hope not.
And why the hell did he take Krasic off? Maybe your tactics didn't go as you'd hoped so you might like to blame someone else?

Are they blind. That was not a handball at all. He didn't even have his face in the direction of the ball let alone his eyes and movement toward. WTF.

The off sides were close but correct.

The ref. decisions agaisnt us tonight were still very harsh, in fact we couldn't tackle at times because that is a free kick!?

If anyone was treated harshly its us not them. Lucky they didn't get a red for the studs up late tackle on Wilkshire. It would have been red for us not dought.

I'm sorry, but stop diving now. The games already over.

Football is a bitch... we should know.

There was no basis for the Cahill incident to be called handball.



Firstly he made no play at the ball with his arm ie contact was not deliberate and secondly the distance from his opponent was such that it was "unexpected ball". the ball did make contact with his arm but that does not constitute a foul unless the contact was deliberate. No competent referee would call it as a foul.

That young bloke who came on in the 2nd half looks the goods. I think they said he plays with ManU?

A penalty should have been given but Serbia dont need to blame the referee for not making past the group stage. They had their chances but it wasnt to be. Antic can only blame himself for the starting 11 and his willingness to play the one striker system in a must win game. Oh well I just guess it wasnt meant to be. Euro 2012 is our target now and a some new blood needs to be tested. Bring in the likes of Djuricic, Stevanovic, Ljajic, Vukovic, Milanovic and Aleksic in. For Australia, its the Asian Cup and a good new coach please not Beenhacker he fucked up Real Madrid, Netherlands 1990 and Poland. Coach dosent have to be Dutch FFA.

You really should read the Laws of the Game. If Kewell's was handball and it stopped a certain goal then the referee has no option but to issue a red card. A yellow card is not an option for him.

No milos krasic, im referring to the entire WC, v ghana, the germs and us. You dirty turds gown down cheaper than a $2 hooker!

p.s. whatever happened to your 'fab 4' backline?

It was clearly not handball. One of the factors that the referee is required to take into account is the distance from the strike of the ball to the hand/arm. In this case in was fractions of a second and therefore was ball to hand.

Mada 22, if your referring to the Krasic dive then you should look at your own team. Neill gotta a little tap on the back of the head and then went down holding his face. Cant critisize us for diving.

Yes the ball hit the back of Cahill's arm, yes it is sometimes given as a penalty - but should by the rules of the game? No. Kewell's handball was always a penalty, a red card? No. Penalty? Yes.

Agreed

You cannot claim ball to hand when you're moving your hand

He knew Vidic would get a header on it so stuck his hand up

Was about to mention that, ref was right behind the path of the ball, dont know how he missed it. Then again maybe he didnt miss it.

The foul count was a 24 - 10 in your favour Antic. I'd be quiet right now.

Agreed.

Hey buddy get off the drugs. Just face it, you weren't good enough to win.

"In the end I think that we didn't have fair treatment".. Are they serious??.. how many soft free kicks were awarded to them?.. i honestly lost count..
On another note, did any1 see lahm's clearance off the line against Ghana?? identical to Harry's!..
