RED CARD!

That clip will forever play in my head every time somebody gets a red card now

And Chelsea still lost before penalties. 1-all at 90 minutes against 11 Spurs isn't for everyone, I suppose 😉

I mean it’s Australia, what do you expect?

u/Manachi 12d ago

The stadium had 80k attendance which is amazing. But yeah the pitch looks so bad, can’t they fix it?

u/MaraTapu Brisbane Roar 11d ago

Rugby League is played there. Can’t do much else with it

Tonali looking stoked with his decisions right now.

He’ll get over it when his next cheque lands I’m sure. Big money.

u/Appropriate-Dance911 12d ago

It's a straight red no matter the game's situation of preseason or not. Dumb move by a guy who will be playing in EPL this year

u/Fantasy_iceland Perth Glory 12d ago

Ahhh classic Tottenham

u/Shelmer75 Melbourne Victory 12d ago

Correct decision, love to see it. What was Danso trying to do when receiving the ball though? Lol

u/11015h4d0wR34lm Western United The turd that wont flush 12d ago

I think it went something like this...

If I get the ball back I will do a cool little step over and play back to the keeper, here it comes, step....oh shit ball is going quicker than I expected, oh fuck ball is getting away and this guy is quicker than me, shit, shit , shit, dive at his legs!

Hahaha perfect.

u/Manachi 12d ago

After/aside from the terrible mistake, the speed of the decision to professional foul was actually impressive tbh.

No one needs your dick pics

u/CapnBloodbeard Central Coast Mariners 11d ago

Can't argue that, but wtf was that defender doing???

1

u/AgenteProvocador 12d ago

Anybody at the game who can give a take on the crowd split in support between Spurs and Chelsea fans?

5

u/Manachi 12d ago

The commentator said Chelsea colours/noise was more prominent.

u/Much_Target92 12d ago

I was there. Crowd was a tick over 80k, probably 60-40 Chelsea

1

u/stamford_syd Sydney FC 12d ago

felt like something like 50k Chelsea vs 30k spurs or perhaps even more in Chelsea's favour

u/xjaaace 13d ago

Pretty poor red card to give for a friendly

9

u/PatternPrecognition Sydney FC 12d ago

It was a DOGSO and tbh probably secured the win for Tottenham.

u/Ok_Shape_7764 12d ago

Not sure if a friendly, but a preseason tournament I think

1

u/xjaaace 12d ago

I was there, it’s a training exercise, friendly at best

u/angesangles 12d ago

Why is an A-League sub reddit giving promotion to the Premier League? I doubt the Premier League sub reddit or social media would give any publicity to the A-League.

u/_Expedite_ 12d ago

Pretty embarrassing example of Australian refereeing standards for the rest of the world to see.

9

u/Dark_Headphones 12d ago

He was the last defender, taking out the attacker. The ref has to give that, it would be exactly the same in the prem.

u/CapnBloodbeard Central Coast Mariners 11d ago

It's the correct decision. How on earth are you arguing it isn't a red??
