I’d still take Pepp 8 out of 10 times against Mary. Pepp completely outplayed them and the officiating was some of the worst I’ve ever seen. Forget the penalty. He called it, they converted. Not long after that play however, we had two players taken down; one in the box and one at the top of it. No call. If a Pepp player touched a Mary, they flew to the ground like they’d been sniped by Clarke himself. They got the call nearly every time. Still not convinced? Go look at our foul stats season-to-date and see what they are game by game prior to yesterday’s match.
All anybody is asking for in these matches is consistency. Consistently bad, consistently mediocre, consistently good. I don’t care, just call it the same for both sides. That didn’t happen yesterday. To add insult to injury, when the CR finally handed out a yellow to a Mary, he gave it to the wrong player.
All of that not withstanding, we had 19 chances and didn’t convert a single one. That’s on us. Season technically not over...
