Green Day

Typical - the Roar win away from home against the League leaders!!

Watching on TV, I thought Peter Green had a very good game. Why? Because you hardly saw or heard from him. When you did, he seemed to be pretty spot on with the call and he seemed to be in good position to make the call. Controlled the simple things too, like telling Seo to move back to the mark on a throw in. The yellow cards appeared warranted as well, although Reinaldo's was possibly harsh. It was funny listening to the home crowd going off when Green pulled Adelaide up for obvious fouls. 90 minutes - 90 emotions once again.

I noticed an assistant referee start to flag a throw in to the Roar, only to suddenly change hands and signal it to Adelaide, so obviously Green was taking full control of proceedings. Only thing was, from my position in the lounge chair, thousands of kilometres away, I thought the AR was had a better view and was right.So there you go, not a perfect game, but a consistent game where the officials let things flow and didn't dominate the game. Isn't that what we want?
