Lyon returns fire on crucial penalty

Post: # 982704Post saintsrus »

Well done Rossy

TENSIONS between St Kilda and Geelong have resurfaced after Saints coach Ross Lyon claimed the Cats camp had been whinging in the wake of the controversial finish to Friday night's qualifying final at the MCG.

I'm f****** OUTRAGED we didn't get fifty.


"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

I seriously think Bomber was outcoached all week. In my opionion he was the handbaggers weakest link even before the first bounce.

Yep! The handbaggers are in the greatest shape they've ever been. What a statement.

Then you are saying they are a better side then. I dont think there were any surprise coaching moves from either side. IMO we just played that little bit better. I'd rather back our players than a coach from either side.

Good on you Ross!
Interesting that the vote on their website is almost identical to the one in the Herald Sun, about 58% to 42% that the free kick was correct.

can I point out that it's ironic that the media is talking up a coach having a go at them (the media) :roll:

Yep! +1.

I'm also amazed he hasn't been reported for carrying on like he did! What was he accusing the umpy of???


When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

Nup! what I am saying is that Bomber gave the Saints fans some joy by making a statement during the week that was somewhat hi-brow and then followed that up with some out of character over-reactions in the coaches box and then the thing that gave us the most satisfaction was his dummy spit after the game. I stress that when I refer to the collective 'us' I acknowledge that some of 'us' may not have derived any satisfaction from these events.

It should have been:

50m against Ling for kicking the ball away --- then another
50m against Mooney for abuse

=The sealer to Jimmy Gwilt from 5m out.

But I'm not sooking over it

not a chance. no-one in the ground heard the whistle so he can't be penalised for something that no-one was aware of.

How do you know he didn't hear the whistle?
He may have heard it and assumed it was for 'icorrect disposal' against Gwilt and just decided to take the advantage?

Cats gaining a reputation as one of the finest teams of recent times and the most ungracious and immature losers. Biggest culprit - Bomber

Plain as day - two whistles blown before Ling kicked the ball.

Has been a 50 all year.

The umpires didn't penalise in the spirit of the game, just like idiots like Robinson have been crapping on about.


Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt.

Can't understand how it wasn't 50 against Mooney for demonstrative talk to an umpire. If that wasn't nothing is

I certainly did (derived satisfaction out of his reaction that is) :twisted:

If that free kick hadn't been paid & we were robbed of a well deserved victory, THAT wouldn't have been "in the spirit of the game." They're all just annoyed because St Kilda have made them all look like idiots.
