Heidelberg v victory would be the big one for melbourne, Heidelberg has a large old school dormant fan base that would come out of the woodwork for this, victory is victory, would go close to 10,000.

You're the most rational south fan.

One interesting phenomenon in this round was seeing Josh McDonald come on for WSW.

The top FFA coaches have been raving about him for some time. Considered to have similar talent and technical quality to Da Silva.

It was good to see him on the pitch, but I hope imports don't keep him out of the WSW starting line up. In the time he was on the pitch, he looked to be of high quaility on the ball.

Only saw the latter part of the game, but credit to WSW and Roar, both teams played some good football. Along with Victory, they are the only HAL teams who have payed decent football to date in the 2015 FFA Cup, based on what I've seen.

Although Jets looked okay late in the game against Glory.

He's on an NYL deal and will be 3rd choice at best I'd say.

We had a sellout in the 99 semi against Hellas

I doubt we'll get more than what we got then. That was before we had seating behind the goal and in front of the entrance gate. That was still all terraces and they, along with the hills, were packed.

I remember that game as a 7 year old. Thank fuck it was 0-0, because I couldn't see shit on the terrace behind the goal :lol:

You didn't miss much:lol:

11,579 that day!

There are few Australian players older than him with the same potential.

Players like McDonald can take the game to another level.

Except Sterjovski hitting the post late on when one-on-one with Petkovic :cry:

Must admit, I'm loving the FFA Cup.:d

I'd love to see a lot of these clubs around for longer.

It would be good to see the FA Cup, or another Cup, operated twice in a year.

I'v been pleasantly surprised by the quality of football some NPL teams have played.=d>

Victory crowds can be a bit weird in terms of non-HAL games. Even in the ACL they were getting crowds of around ~6000 until they were almost through the group stage.

Could easily be ten thousand, could just as easily be 4000 depending on whether fans' imagination is captured.

The highlight of lastnight was seeing BlackMac79 break up a scuffle, because of the Jets' active guys spotted someone wearing what he thought was a Chelsea jersey (turned out to be a Fulham jersey) :lol:

Gif of Jamieson's foul on Manlet McKay.

WesternSydneyFootball members not only defending it, but praising him and saying "nothin wrong with a bit of thuggery in football bro" :lol:

That was just a horrible foul. The type of foul a 13 year old would do if he had been completely beaten all day by the same kid.

Would have had no complaints if he was sent off. Jamieson can get fucked.

Playing backyard rules style.

Meh, if he's willing to take the ticket (I assume one was given?) and it was late in a tight game to prevent a potentially good move best of luck to him. #thuglyfe

I have to add ,that I don't want to be an Aloisi basher.I really really hope he can be succesful.
But my heart(excuse the pun) sank after that performance.Even the movement of Brattan forward more seemed a failure.Last night confirmed for me that Brattan needs more time on the ball and is more effective picking out long passes from a mid to deeper position.He is not quick and quick short passing doesn't seem to be his strength.

He was given a yellow, and it was in the first half :lol:

Praying we draw Hume!!!

What a bell-end...

:lol: Normally I'd be creating threads, ranting and rambling shit given it's a Wanderers player, but I find it fucking hilarious. :lol:

I also can't hate Jamieson. I liked him too much at Sydney. Best LB we had since the days of Ceccoli.

When's the draw?

You guys would still have made some decent coin off the last FFA Cup game. I'm guessing you guys are alright financially, but another home game would still be a bonus for the coffers.

I know I put a serious dent in your cevapi stand at both the club pre-game, and during the actual game. :lol: :lol: :lol:

4pm.

Hahahhahs that tackle. Would even be a foul in egg ball.

Jamieson has the most punchable face in the A-league. Hate the little cunt.

a lot of that money went back to paying investors etc for the $1 million synthetic pitch we installed.

But yes, another HAL team like Sydney fc or WSW would be good financially.

2 and a half hours till the draw \:d/

Would rather Oakleigh than Heidelberg. Hume is good for me, only a short drive :)
