Newcastle Shoot Down Glory

Perth Glory played host to Newcastle United Jets on a warm December evening. Once again I refrained from making any food purchases as they are through the roof and are a complete racket. However, after a long day at cricket I was thirsty so I did succumb to buying a bottle of Pepsi which is now 5.50! So I must try and avoid that temptation when I am at the ground in the future.

Perth scored first and were playing not too badly. They were not dominating, nor were they overly shaky. However, you just knew that something would go dramatically wrong. Watching Perth Glory is like watching a dangerous nuclear reactor. You know it will explode, or meltdown at any given moment. The only problem is you dont know why, how and when it will occur. When it does, it leads to spectacular results with the catastrophic fallout that ensues.

The Perth defence just did exactly that and exploded, giving Newcastle an equaliser and it just went from bad to worse. Shoddy defending, woeful passing, average set pieces just resulted in Perth turning into a lame donkey that was going to be shot and put out of its misery. It was a drawn out, painful, depressing and sad sight to behold. Newcastle then scored the winner through shocking defending from the hosts. The game ended at 2-1 to Newcastle and yet another 3 points thrown away into the wind.
