The 10-man Central Coast Mariners were beaten 5-2 by Sydney FC

Two decisions changed the game for the Central Coast Mariners according to Mike Mulvey, whose team had started so brightly against Sydney FC.

Connor Pain had given the Mariners a shock lead in the 16th minute, but Mulvey says Kalifa Cisse’s 26th-minute red card and Adam Le Fondre’s second half penalty cost them the game.
“The send off changed everything,” Mulvey said after his team went down 5-2 to the Sky Blues.

Three minutes after being booked for kicking the ball away, Cisse’s bad challenge on Siem de Jong earned him a second yellow card.
As he walked off the field, there appeared to be a heated exchange between him and Mariners assistant coach Nick Montgomery on the sideline, though Mulvey dismissed the suggestion.
“We’re a team that’s fighting for our lives,” Mulvey said. “We’ve got a decision going against us”.
The Mariners did well to hold onto their lead with 10-men until Alex Brosque equalised just after the break, but then Jacob Melling brought Adam Le Fondre down in the box.
The referee pointed to the spot, Le Fondre converted, but Mulvey was adamant it shouldn’t have been a penalty.

Melling did appear to get some of the ball, but the VAR backed referee Jonathan Barreiro’s decision and the spot-kick stood.
“I don’t know any ex-footballer or footballer who is still playing that would give that if they were in that position,” Mulvey said.
He cleanly got the ball. The VAR backed it up and that needs looking at.
“The heads have gone down, we’re down to 10 players and it’s a real uphill battle from there.
“It’s a bad scoreline, but the send off changed the game and then the penalty. That’s a killer.”

Atletico Madrid 2-0 Juventus Video Highlight

The match had appeared to be heading for a goalless draw at the Wanda Metropolitano, before Atleti defenders Gimenez (78) and Godin (83) gave Diego Simeone's side a huge advantage heading into the second leg in Turin on March 12. That will come as a big relief to the home team, who had earlier seen substitute Alvaro Morata's 70th-minute header ruled out by the Video Assistant Referee for a push on Giorgio Chiellini. Video highlight: Cristiano Ronaldo, with only one goal in his last eight Champions League games, tested Jan Oblak with an early long-range free kick which the Atletico goalkeeper did well to tip over. It was Atleti, though, who thought they had the best chance to open the scoring before half-time when referee Felix Zwayer decided that Mattia De Sciglio had tripped Diego Costa just inside the box. However, after consultation with the VAR, the correct decision was made with the Juve right-back having clearly caught Costa just outside the area, with Woj...

SysAdmin 101

This book explores system administrator fundamentals. These days, DevOps has made even the job title “system administrator” seem a bit archaic, much like the “systems analyst” title it replaced. These DevOps positions are rather different from typical sysadmin jobs in the past in that they have a much larger emphasis on software development far beyond basic shell scripting. As a result, they often are filled with people with software development backgrounds without much prior sys- admin experience. In the past, sysadmins would enter the role at a junior level and be mentored by a senior sysadmin on the team, but in many cases currently, companies go quite a while with cloud outsourcing before their first DevOps hire. As a result, DevOps engineers might be thrust into the role at a junior level with no mentor around apart from search engines and Stack Overflow posts. In this book, I expound on some of the lessons I’ve learned through the years that might be obvious to longtime sysadmin...
