One thing I forgot to mention above, but I know it hardly needs a mention - umpiring as inconsistent as usual and free kick count as unbalanced as usual. Some things just don't change. What really pisses me off is when you see two virtually identical incidents and the decision is different. They really need to get more consistency.
The other thing I should mention is tickets on phones suck, no, that's being generous. Unbelievable how bad the technology is as people try in vain to get the ticket reading machine to actually read their ticket. This has got to improve, and improve maybe 1000% if it is going to be a viable way of getting people into and out of the ground at breaks. Too slow, doesn't work half the time, just ridiculous. Imagine that with 90,000 people instead of 50,000.
That is the last time I attempt to use my phone as a ticket, back to print outs for me. A printed bar code or QR code just works, quickly and efficiently. On the phone it is a joke.
