Fox Sports stream of Darwin game is diabolical 

Yeah I remember they used to play Hellenic v Olympic Games at the Showgrounds behind locked gates in the 90’s because of the crowd violence. Not many people but farken mad Greeks. 

Have to say Bayswater's kit is quite schmick 

Darwin getting dicked.

The Adelaide Olympic player getting himself sent off after scoring for taking his shirt off, and then Floreat equalise lol. Comes on at half time, scores twice and snags a red. Cup magic.

Adelaide vs Floreat has provided the goods. Floreat winning by 2 goals at halftime. Floreat concede 3 goals in the first 10 or so minutes of second half to go behind. Goal scorer takes shirt off in celebration and gets sent off for second yellow. Floreat equalise.

Adelaide back ahead now because of a questionable pen.

Lol and now Adelaide Olympic ahead 4-3. Cracking match.

Both w.a. Npl teams out

I seem to recall the WA sides getting a lot of A League opponents and/or away ties in this comp since it's inception and struggling as a result.

Absolutely no skill shown in any game tonight, a lot of long balls and goals based on luck. Feel bad for the 2nd division new dawners.

NPL WA  just isn't a very strong competition imo. And Perth Glory being really competitive most seasons backs that point up. 

depends which highlights you wanna watch bro

Why? We have had to deel with a second division worthy Wellington side for the past ten years so the public will adapt. Thanks for watching.

Roberts playing for Druitt. Absolute gun playing for the NT its good to watch him play on the national stage.

We do suck at penalties tho

Cute idea, I like it. Nice to get someone from the football community to sing the anthem at the final, and a fun, cost-effective bit of social media promotion for the comp.

I'm sure people will call it plastic and hate it.

Olympic v Bayswater was a good game to watch.  Some very good skills shown by Olympic.

LMAO

New board ffa turning the cup into the latest episode of Australia's Got Talent.

Amateur hour, an absolute embarrassment. You couldn't make this up...

Give it a rest Libel.

+1

Yep, Olympic showed what they're capable of in the first hour and was nice football to watch, in my opinion. Disappointing to concede the two goals to Bayswater in the 2nd half, possibly a reflection of tired legs and missing first choice central defender Panzer. However, was a good bounce back after a sub-par showing against Mackay in last Sundays away game in Nth Qld.  
A good result for the youthful technical staff currently in place at Olympic. Bring on Round 16.

Hahaha libel strikes again. I applaud your dedication to the cause. 

I know we need more Meat Loaf. 

“He has won three national league titles and played for the Socceroos, but Joe Mullen would take just as much satisfaction from leading a bunch of part-timers to glory over the cash-rich Melbourne City in the FFA Cup.”

“Incredibly, it wasn't their first rodeo. Cooma has routinely taken trips to South America over the years to play friendlies against Boca Juniors, Argentinos Juniors and Chilean giants Colo Colo. For a team from a remote town with a population of less than 7000, it's mind-blowing company.”

Great story, thanks.
