Bubble had to burst eventually. $3.50 for the City win helps cushion the blow.

Through the game last night it appeared Amor didn't fully pull the trigger and looked to play safe most of the night. Lost and was soundly beaten however unlike previous campaigns with United I still remain confident we can account for them when it really matters.

Was the pitch heavier than usual last night? Both sides (particularly early) seemed to be under-hitting their passes regularly

Without seeing any of last nights game, my opinion would be yes.

With the amount of rain we have recieved this week plus the very high humidity levels has meant that the turf and soil has retained much higher levels of moisture than normal. Add that with the fact that the turf is growing faster than it can be kept mown adds to a slow outfield as such

Adelaide seemed content to just sit back all night. The passing was incredibly slow. After they scored that kicked us into life and we looked dangerous but it should have been like that from the start.

Still can't work out how djite's header missed, from my vantage point last night it looked in for all money.

Thought the pitch looked a little patchy, almost looks like two different grasses are growing in it.

Thought the ref was pretty average too. Yellow cards left right and centre for small infringements, and djite seemed to be constantly penalised just for being stronger than his opponent

Couldn't say, but it looked patchier than usual in parts.

A terrible miss by Djite. I was behind the goals and was ready for the celebration.
Adelaide played trope-a-dope, just sustaining the City punches - but the dope never got roped, City never tired.
Mooy was sensational, the sort of bloke who could decide a title for his side.
Disappointing to lose, but...a timely kick in the butt.

Also...very nice to see the Victory lose by five goals.

Really rate Amor but he had a shocker this game. Some really bizarre positional selections.
Need to win this week to have any chance of finishing top

So the A-League and the J-League (Japan) have a referee exchange program, where a couple of our referees go up there are do a match and a couple of theirs come down here.

Tonight Adelaide are playing the Wanderers in one of the biggest matches of the season in Round 24 (out of 27) - the winner will go top.

For some reason, the FFA decided to allocate a Japanese ref to this match, of all matches.

Ten minutes in, Kamau is through on goal with all the defenders a mile away. Reddy (WSW's GK) comes off his line and takes Kamau out, who tried in vain to jump over Reddy. It was a clear goal-scoring opportunity and the clearest foul you'll ever see, but the ref books Kamau for a dive.

Clearest send-off you'll see. Speechless.

He didn't jump he dove horizontally and was horizontal before the keeper even got there

Was clearly a dive rather than try to avoid contact

Agree completely. A definite red card situation, as the vast majority of the experts seem to agree upon. Even the Sydney papers call it 'the worst yellow-card ever'! Kamau made contact with the ball and was left with two choices: either to try to jump over and out of the way of Liam Reddy (an instinctual action, which he ended up doing) or to run straight into Liam Reddy, resulting in possible injury to both.

He didn't jump out the way

He dove horizontally and upper body first into the ground

Strangest way I have ever seen someone try to avoid a tackle

You have sort of answered your own question though. The reason he jumped (or dived, in your opinion) was to try to avoid contact. If he did not 'dive', as you basically say, there would have been contact and the result would have been a red card to Reddy. Agree?
In saying that Kamau's action was to avoid contact, how can you possibly give him a foul??

Watch it at normal speed, and tell me where you would have jumped if the son of a second-rower was coming at you recklessly like that.
