How good would it be for the history books to say that Taggart (or Antonis) scored the first goal in football's post-coronavirus era.

I remember being in this stadium for Archie's last ever game for Victory, standing with the other two Vuck away fans on the right of the camera, where those tarps with Hyundai ads are now.

Really? He's a fortyish football commentator. Wtf has he done to merit a biography??? 

Flag was up and his attempt was a concern. An omen?

Read it and you'll see. He's served the sport incredibly well. Very few go to the effort to learn the names and backgrounds of every player in the Tajikistan team. His due diligence is second to none. A proper professional. Those British commentators often used for matches in Asia seem to be in a studio elsewhere and offer no insight and just call it blandly. 

Simon needs better internet at his place.

You can tell that the vision is transmitted from Korean internet and the commentary from Australian internet lol

Soft as.

Straight red for Antonis. Simon Hill saying "he makes his way rather forlornly down the tunnel", fucking gold.

Taggart off, and that's the end of my interest in this match.

At least Antonis can't get injured now. That's his season likely over. Benched for a poor tackle. Why did he even go in like that? Soft yet silly. 

The fact that that would probably never be a red in Australia is probably more an indictment on the A-League than anything else.

Inevitable. I was just about to say that I may as well watch Bluewings park the bus for eight more minutes, but that seals it.

Pretty much what I expected. Taggart struggles against good defenses, hold up play isn't his thing. Jeonbuk are so solid. Antonis often looks like a brainsnap waiting to happen. They weren't terrible though.

Hill saying the F word: https://streamable.com/t955b5

the best football commentator ever to call Socceroos and HAL games- lives and breathes football. 1 of the best in the world IMO.

Albeit first game after a long break, that wasn't a very enjoyable game.

Felt like a practice game. Opening days can be a bit slow at times. Easing into it. 

Nice involvement from Davidson for Ulsan's third goal.
Full match, 4-0 win.

Mahazi starting

Davidson's good work at 3:25  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRqeXN8B4I0

90 for Mahazi, O'Neill unused, Chapman not in squad

Mahazi MOTM I'm hearing.

Shit he's leg shape has changed. They be strong a f , hopefully he's as close to 99% strength on the injured ACL. Crap, such a creative attacking inspiring player , fucking sux . But who knows, maybe this injury could even will him on to do even better things.

I really really really would love to see him go play in Belguim maybe even Germany he would kill in Bundi 2.

He should go cut something up like that, would give him some freedom, time on the ball, time to get his running and test his limitations nursing that injury in its current state.

He should not push himself to do moves that are beyond his body atm. As his minutes progress his body will probably feel differently. Just don't want him tripping on some defenders stupid challenge and having another 12 months off. 

Leckie not included in an in depth article about the new manager's plans. Over 20 players were mentioned in the line up and reserves except for Leckie among a few other capable, yet surplus to requirements squad members.

Mat Ryan flying back to England today.

Hopefully Borrello can get a little time on the weekend. Leckie will be fortunate to be in the squad. I'm just not feeling it. Even the media build up is very artificial.

As tacky as it is I wouldn't mind some crowd noises being played on the TV instead of the droning German commentary and screaming of players on the field. 

Jack Iredale will be released by Carlisle at the end of the season. He had a decent start until getting injured. Nothing overly flash but decent defence and balance with a good left foot cross.

I think he'll end up at a lower Scottish team of another League Two club. 

You'd think he's done enough to keep a League Two deal, especially as a LB.
