Grand Final - Perth vs Sydney FC - 19/05/19 - Match thread

If the powers that be in the VAR box did their job properly, we wouldn’t have been given the gift of Santalab’s penalty miss. I’ll take the latter every time. At least on par with Muscat’s clank in the 2010 Grand Final.

That is a very good point indeed. It also diffuses the common argument out there that the VAR have always helped out Sydney FC. The fact that there was a VAR controversy that clearly went against us, and we still won the game is a big middle finger to the fans that whinge about it all the time.

Don’t try to reason with conspiracy theorists.

Clearly a false flag by the FFA, paranoid that this nefarious conspiracy was about to be uncovered. Santalab was an FFA sleeper agent, paid off handsomely in his last game to ensure that the correct result would eventually be obtained. Surely the evidence is all there in front of you. No normal footballer could ever be that stupid to try a Panenka at that critical moment. Could they?

Nahhhh they still talked about how we were favourites with the FFA because Grant should have gotten 2 yellow cards during the game. Can’t win with those types.

I’ll get the guys from the hypothetical institute podcast onto it analyse and dissect.

The cynicism of the ESFC/FFA/illuminati conspiracy is such that they broke down and then trained a Sydney squaddie, to infiltrate WSW becoming a fan favourite (arguably THE biggest club legend they have) so he’d be in a perfect position to twist the knife at the crucial element, delivering another ill-gottent championship for the FFA’s club. I’ll bet Derren Brown was involved in the ‘training’ of agent Santalab.
The pieces all fit together like a perfect jigsaw puzzle.

The pure genius of Agent Santalab was the four years in China to completely throw everyone off the scent.

That’s where you could have him isolated for intensive training.

It seems Santalab will be scarred forever:

“I still need some time to recover mentally. I’ll be forever upset with what happened,” Santalab said.

Karma played the long game with him there.

With Muscat blubbering through press conferences and Santalab mentally crippled, i’m starting to feel like Conan. You know, crushing our enemies. Seeing them driven before us and hearing the lamentation of their women.

Dissapointed at the lack of reverse vampires in this theory

Bonnyrigg Sports Club is throwing a party for Ninković tonight if anyone out that way wants to keep the celebrations going.

Just Ninko? Not the rest of the lads?

That’s why we need to re-expand the SFC Serb contingent

I’m fairly sure he’s already got some sort of youth coaching agreement with them lined up. Plus he’s spoken about being in with the Sydney Serbian community before and so it would make sense if he was quite close to some of the guys in the club hierarchy.

Every player should have their own local sports club.
