Now all you have to do is

a) tell people that matter
b) convince people in SA to actually play football at all levels

Yup Brisbane looked extremely ordinary. Quite pedestrian really, hope they can recover before the season starts.

Ref was shit for the FC vs United game. Some of those tackles from United58 left alot to be desired, Kris Griffiths-Jones had yet another piss poor game. Lucky no one from FC walked off with a broken leg after the tackles he waved on.

Flares lived up to the hype. 3-1, should of been more.

So after blacking myself out from social media and watching the coverage post trip to hindmarsh I can finally post.

I was very very suprised tonight at 1) how good we were and 2) how rubbish Brisbane were. Brisbane did not have a single period all game where they held the ball and put pressure on for any period of time. The minimal chances they had were here and there on the break. We probably should have won the game 3-4 Nil on the balance of play but some very strong signs. A very interesting formation of 343 with a narrow midfield diamond, isais dropping back as another cb everytime the cbs split.

On our new signings. Jimmy jeggo was immense. His work rate was absolutely incredible. He honestly reminded me of Jordan Henderson the way he put himself about. McGowan and Boogard were solid as a rock at back. McGowan looks a very good signing. Pablo also looks very good early.

So very very excited about the season moving forward. Great night of football. And to cap it off the stadium is looking incredible.

So...
7 teams came from FNSW, 0 left.
1 team came from FFSA, 1 left.

Just thought I'd remind people.

"There's tickets in the BOKA stand"
"How much they askin?"
"$40. Each"
"Fuckin dreamin cartns"

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Also Palm Beach farken. Get into it carnts.

Well after charging $40 for some tickets I reckon they can afford to fix some stuff up ;)

Shame I missed it :(

The flares came from behind the cove, over the back fence from the street behind.

It's obvious who it was, and what they were trying to achieve. And it's a lot smarter than ripping flares inside the stadium itself. What I found more amusing is that we nearly scored. Just as the first flare came flying over the fence, a shot ripped up onto the cross bar. Everybody's attention was on the flare, and then the second flare, and then snapped back to the game. :lol:

PB is taking the piss and you all take the bait.

When have we ever played you in pre-season?

Why would Sydney fans throw flares at the cove? You people are unbelievable.

Palmy Army sounds like something you pay a street hooker 10 bucks for.

This was beautiful. :lol: Janjetovic has a knack of picking players up and moving them around. :lol: He did the exact same thing to Ben Sigmund against Wellington Phoenix last season during that goalmouth scrabble. :lol:

As a wigger Strayan I cringed hard. -0/10 do not associate me with dat bs.

So yeah my 5 cents from tonight.

Overall, a wonderful, and very enjoyable evening spent in the company of Sydcro58 & Draupnir. Got to King Tom pretty early and beat the crowds. Enoyed several cold beers and some very delicious cevapi.

As for the game itself, started off at a cracking pace and then evened out shortly before Naumoff's cruise missile into the top left corner. Gem of a strike.

Standouts for me were Abbas, Naumoff and Gerbasch. Brosque and Ibini were solid, without being spectacular. Pedj Bojic was downright pants. He was shocking. I've seen better performances from Petkovic too. His mistake for the goal, and it's never good conceding moments before half time. In fact the first half reminded me of our last home game vs. Perth Glory last season.

We were solid without being spectacular, but a win in the cup is a win in the cup. And I'll take any win any day of the week ending in Y.

inside the back page of GC Bulletin today. Hopefully they get another one tomorrow.

That's not very Team 'Straya.

Matchday/Round/Week/Fatwa whatever you wanna call it.

Err...do you mean matchday?

Olympic vs. Bentleigh at Lambert Park only got 800, and I honestly think that's being generous. :-k

The smallest crowd for this round was over 2.3k. Absolutely fantastic for the game to see so many people support there local club.

I was just thinking, even if sfs is available, you may only get between 10-12k (weeknight) , but in a smaller venue, you would have a difference experience, perhaps better. The game is on tv too, so people with children may sit this one out.

Will get naked if its at Leichhardt Oval.

SFS should be available. I don't see why we can't play there. Aside from that, Kograh is probably the next best available.

Yep, had to play a re-scheduled mid week game -> NPLQ Semis -> NPLQ Final -> NPL Quarter Final -> FFA Cup R16 -> NPL Semi Final this wekeend.

Not to mention a training game against Roar mid week.

Have been incredibly busy.

Ali Abbas take a freaking bow. Apart from The thunder bolt goals, Abbas looked absolutely on another level tonight. Loved him since I first saw him for Marconi.
Outstanding player.

Sydney fans- will you play at sfs?
if not what is location choice? Kogarah?

This was fucking hilarious live. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Prolly saving themselves for this weekend ;)
