Melbourne Victory - Tales of a 6roken c1ub

A level too high for him, perhaps?

How did the ref allow to him to play in the first instance. If no ref - playing against a Loko cove team I am going to assume someone recognised him - very confusing

Refs dont validate player eligibility. It’s up to each team to check the other. Most of the time people dont bother to check.

huh? Every game i’ve played for the past 2 years, the ref checks every single player against their IDs?

Might be different in other associations then. In NWSF/GHFA it’s always been the team’s job to check cards. The refs will never do it.

NSFA you approve each others match card (electronically)… you can check IDs if you want but people don’t unless its finals/top of the table…

Once they have been approved, the ref can start the game… nothing to do with him

Fuck Coogee. And fuck Dunbar.

Someone please tell me one of the guys got stuck in

Our refs go through every player one at a time, confirm name, number and, I’m assuming, ID

Of all clubs to try that against, that’s ballsy!

Probably would have got away with it against any other team.

But I think this is my real question - did he actually play any minutes and if the opp realised who it was, why did he play any minutes - the whole thing is confusing from this point of view.

Or did the opp only realise like 20 minutes into the game?

I would assume you play because it’s funny, but you take a photo and then ā€œdiscoverā€ who he is afterwards.

The fact that they lost is even funnier.

You’d also assume the situation would be so out of left field that half the players wouldn’t believe it was him. The other half would be questioning it until the very end of the game where they can google. And even then, there’d be a whole load of doubt

Let’s face it.

Most of the players have never heard of him ever.

You know what, I don’t think there’s a problem with the Arzani thing. It’s a long off season and he was probably just fucking around with some mates.

Obviously it shouldn’t have been able to happen but whatever

Incredibly disappointed if the Loko team didn’t take it in turns to go right fucking through him.

I remember Auburn trying to bring on Ahmed Elrich against us in Granville assoc when he was just back from Fulham. Weren’t having a bar of that

…and look how he wound up. In the slammer for guns and drugs.

Loko’s changed :cry:
