ALM - Round 17 Discussion - 2023/24

Wow. That pass across his own penalty box is a sackable offence.

Stream kept fucking out so I’ve moved over to the epl

Time for a new manager, Roar.

That was a hell of a finish from Perth. They deserved to win. Brisbane were lucky Freke was in good form or it wouldn’t have been so close.

Love to see it.

Both he and Rudan were given easy starts to the season. Now things are slipping and they don’t have the answers.

The lack of resilience is staggering. These clubs could learn a thing or two from CCM and Wellington.

I get the impression that this is a conversation Popovic and Izzo have had before. Popa’s reaction to losing 1-nil last week obviously wasn’t “Try to score”, it was just “Concede less”.

It’s hilarious we’re only two points behind a team that has lost six less times than us.

Mariners need to bounce back and the Wanderers are due a good, proper stuffing. None of this last minute goal, draw shit. Smash em good.

I just watched the highlights of the Melbourne derby. How does Jakolis not get sent… oh it’s Reza.

Amazing.

Genuinely. Getting more angry because someone asked if he’ll make changes with a short turn around.

Fuck me.

Alireza

Reza’s the guy who converted the final pen in WA

Is the diminutive form not allowable?

It’s funny I always just think of him as Faghani.

Depends. I know an Ali Reza we call Ali. I also have cousins where one brother is Mohammad Reza known as Reza and one is Ali Reza known as Ali and know an Alireza whose son is Ali. My guess is if he’s writing it in English as one single name he’s never known as Reza.

Journey with me as I try to figure out Shia naming conventions. Especially fun with a lot of Iranians who insist on giving their kids Muslim specifically Shia names but sometimes give them another Persian name. Like my cousin Maryam whose name is Anahita or her brother Ali whose name is Arman.

Yeah that was more petulant than any of the Izzo / risk stuff. “If you want me to make changes I’ll make changes”, as if they were telling him how to do his job when they were just asking a stock standard question ahead of their one midweek game.

Imagine being the keeper in the best form in the comp, getting an international call up, sitting on the bench (Which would be expected of any non-Ryan keeper, admittedly) then disappearing off even the bench for your club. Is it something else or did Rudan get pissed at Thomas for conceding what they didn’t even think was a goal?

Fucking away jersey wearing bullshit.
