Also looks to be a big crowd for tonight, A big number of city fans going. Also hearing a lot of non city non berger fans going too. And they say the FFA cup does nothing for our game.... We need more of these games I think

Prickly pear and dekker will be interesting. Dekker was a standout last year in our cup winning youth league side. Zinni looked the goods against NIX too.

Still a dangerous game. VERY dangerous

That's weak upfront but strong enough at the back to get the job done.

Getting in early tonight to polish off a souv and a beer with a kransky roll for desert

Yet ask a certain few posters on this forum and they will tell you that this comp is doing zero for football in Australia and generates no interest.

A lot of neutrals i know from the northern suburbs are going to this.
Some aren't even A-League fans, i reckon it'll be a special night on the cards.

:lol: :lol:

Don't worry, everyone else has as well :lol:

Oh yeah I completely forgot that there is another game on tonight as well.

600kgs of gyros!!!

If I wasn't getting over a serious bout of stomach flu I'd probably devour that myself.

Sorensen
Retre Kisnorbo Chapman Clisby
Paartalu
Mooy Koren
Dekker Fornaroli Zinni

Subs:
Velaphi
Trifirio
Richardson
Espindola
Symeoy

I'd say this would be our squad for this evening, with our forwards being our weakest link. Zinni did cut through Wellington quite a bit so would expect him to do the same. Heidelberg will be more fired up than Wellington would have been, but if we can put in a shift like we did against Oakleigh (in terms of intensity, pressure on the ball and high work rate and press), I can see us winning this comfortably. 3-0 or 2-0 would be my tip.

According to the 2014 FFA cup qualifying rounds page they were Central Coast Mariners Academy that season.

Amazing.

The important stats

davutovic with some fun facts
3000+ tickets sold, 7000+ crowd expected
600kg of gyros and 1000 kranskys are ordered

Get ready for a great feed (Y)

Perth Glory: 1
Western Sydney Wanderers: 1 (WSW on pens)

Heidelberg United: 1
Melbourne City: 3

Central Coast FC and the Mariners had split their relationship at that stage. So CCFC wasn't actually CCM's NPL club at the time, they were separate entities for a while. They are joining back together for the 2016 season though.

Pretty sure CCM's NPL team from the 2014 competition competed in the cup.

If Heidelberg win will the draw for the semis be fixed to have a NPL side against an A league opponent or free draw?

Yep injured. I don't think anybody has major injuries, Gameiro obviously coming back from ACL. Seemed to be confident he will be back very soon when spoken too at the family day.

Franjic, Zullo, Hughes, Gameiro , Novillo , Melling ,Williams?

Gameiro the only one that hurts the team to be out.

Wow... That's a lot of players out... They all injured or what?

Yeah that's going to be a very weak line up for city. Cupset could be very much on.

Oh shit. You pricks are tanking my tips.

Franjic, Zullo, Hughes, Gameiro , Novillo , Melling ,Williams

What starters are you missing?

Ripe to be knocked off thou, Missing a few first choice starters. IF they were going to do it they have a chance.

Remembering if it was not for 2 magic mooy set pieces we may not of even made it this far.

Mon bergers. Dont forget to tip.
