How could you drop Simmons even if Cleur is fit.

WSW Lineup: Thomas, Traore, Beadling, Mrcela, Simmons, Schneiderlin, Nieuwenhof, Ninkovic, Amalfitano, Layouni, Borrello

Subs: Margush, Bozanic, Yengi, Milanovic, Carluccio, Ngbakoto, Bonetig.

Macarthur Lineup: Kurto, McGing, Aspro, De Silva, Hollman, Baccus, Vuijca, Lachie Rose, Auglah, Jones, Millar

Subs: Suman, Najjar, Noone, Romero, Skotadis, Toure, Drew

Mcmanus just said we may not hear about the length of Marcelo band until late next week. The club is using Barr actions to reduce excessive suspension which is delaying the decision, and only get him on the Irunkunda incident to get 2-3 match ban. But if they decide to act on the Barr incident as Marcelo's fault could be anywhere between 4-6 weeks which is insane

Coutos to Rudan sticking by Simmons. Not sure many coaches would put such faith in a player u20 unless they are Adelaide or Mariners.

Multiple ex-wanderers in the Bullsh1tters line-up.

Ninkovic with the captain’s armband

A few east Sydney types won’t be happy with that 

Great line-up heading into this game. 

We're playing in green...ugh.

As a third kit goes, I love it. But when the home team is in almost entirely white, why cant we use our home kit? I know theres rules, but surely common sense SHOULD prevail

I’m sorry how is Aspro smashing into Simmons not a penalty?

Clear pen missed by the ref and ignored by VAR.

Typical.

Clear as day, it was a  push. 

Stone cold penalty...utter bulls.h.i.t

Missed pen for us, then Nieuwenhof gets a yellow card for no apparent reason after a tackle that Mrcela made.

Pretty sure he clipped the player breaking away and ref played advantage

That was definitely a pen, but Calem got his for trying to trip the attacker. Got the tinniest of clips but im all for punishing that stuff. Links the punishment to the behaviour instead of the outcome. Big problem is, I've never seen someone get a yellow for trying to bring down an opponent and missing. If they did it every time, great. But we're never going to get consistency on that

Not meant to give a yellow after advantage for just a regulation foul (recent rule change).

Very frustrating Bulls very defensive almost 11 men behind the ball. And in possession they aren't wandering too far in attack. Yet another low block that we need to find how to get through

Im assuming he deemed no advantage was reached

Should have scored that.. 

Massive miss! Feels like theres some confidence missing tonight

We're gonna end with 9 men the way this ref is punishing every tackle we make.

Exactly my thoughts after seeing the yellow to Schneiderlin. 

Be nice if it went both ways. It won't. 

Borrello wow

Fantastic hit, placed in the corner

What a goal.

That's a free in the field of play but not a penalty in the box. What's the difference. 

Foul from Macarthur they made a mistake and we capitlise. Great goal by Borrello

Borello....

The cameras trying not to show the lit Marine Distress Signal

Desperately needed that, the way it was going.
