Yep, that's what hurt. 

Now just hoping for a stable off-season and that whatever hiring/firing that's to come gets done early for once.

never expected to win this game going into it but after going 1-0 up belief crept in only to be destroyed in typical fashion by AUFC.

One thing that constantly bemuses me is that when we actually do get it to Mileusnic one on one, he virtually never attacks the defender. Way too quick to just turn back away from goal and dump the ball off.

Mileusenic is a jet. Would have liked to see Adelaide get the ball to him quicker in one on one situations (there were opportunities) rather than have him use his pace in behind with long balls. 

I wouldn't feel too disheartened if I was a United fan. You are probably one or two players short off being a team challenging for the tile next year. Just need hold onto the core of the squad and pay for a marquee or two.

The positive thing about my club is we know how to scout the world properly for talent. We go after managers with good connections and back them to go after the players they want. That's why so many of our seasons are both unpredictable and exciting at the outset because one season's direction could be completely different to the next. We were the "spanish experiment" one year then suddenly we're German. We were the first deep scouting in latin America. We were the first to make a targeted play for an Asian talent (Shenqing Qu). Another positive is it makes the club feel truly multicultural. Club and fans alike embrace new thinking, new players and new culture. If you take a like for like club Perth Glory... NSL roots, broad based from the outset... we have consistently out performed them and our club culture is superior. They had a 5 year head start on us but we're more developed in being a true footy club.

Also, we can't fucking beat Melbourne Victory because these fuckin cnts live in our fuckin heads.

I mentioned it at the start of the thread, Beath is notorious for it. And to no surprise that is what happened.

well summed up. the most pointed one was the refereeing. the game wasn't allowed to flow because he kept blowing his whistle. 43 free kicks in a game is a farkin joke... although not as bad as the last derby (54 fouls).

Nobody really gives a shit about the A League anymore, it's a stale product.   

Kudos to Berisha, great striker & an asset to any club.  

A few things

- horrid crowd. Must be major concerns upstairs with that
- first half was dire
- Muscat was lucky. Made no changes until 88.
- Valeri looked red on replay but there it was not clear as looking at other foul
- the ref blew whistle every time someone fall over
- Adelaide over celebrated that first goal and you could see them drop it after mv scored
- Kenny did well in last few minutes
- some great defending at points from Adelaide

Despite the loss, I've been pretty impressed by Adelaide - I'd go on record and say that Kurz has done the best job in the league considering the constraints (mostly financial) on his squad, and he's polished them into a well drilled unit with a few young Aussies shining throughout the season. I hope my pissant friends on this forum aren't too disheartened because I think there is a lot to look forward to next season.

crapola... never mind. hopefully with new owners , we can rebuild our squad over the break
gulum will be first , at either city or victory next season

wishing newcastle or city to go all the way and win toilet bowl

I've never had any respect for him as a footballer. And he's a genuine creep of a human being.

But one thing that has my respect. When he gives someone a bake straight into their face, then you see him back away and there's gum in the side of his mouth. That takes serious skill to scream in someone's face without losing your chewie in their eye.

Muscat does have the most punchable face, especially when he does that whingey squinty expression (90% of the time)

Fair enough that the top 4 are in the semis.

This was cute.

lol :)

Yeah sorry. I did try and wholeheartedly congratulate Victory. I tried. But it just came out at the end. 

Someones hangry 

Well played Victory.
Muscat you are such a fuck head ball sack face.

So yeah Valeri should have been off. Would have liked to see what Izzo was going to do with that ball at 95:20 too
And aside from Victory just being allowed to cut into Adelaides defence far too easily at the end of the match, it's pretty easy to accept a loss when it comes to a goal like that in the 89th minute. 
What. A. Fucking. Goal.
Hadn't even crossed my mind about the season ending. Oh no, not fucking this again. It was a pretty crap hal this season for sure but the off season is still worse 😣

Love him or hate him Berisha is a great player. Not just the goals but the competitive nature in which he plays. I always have said I’d do anything to have him in our team. He’s the kinda player WSW need.

Can see the opposite. Victory and City winning controversially for a Melbourne Derby GF.... The FFA need to make up for the crowds in the finals somehow!

Valeri was super lucky, in the npl our Milos Lujic copped a red for the same tackle, 5 week suspension.

Can see Sydney winning the semi in controversial fashion.

Let's not forget the three subs MV made in stoppage time which equated to an extra 20 seconds being added on

Is FFA listening yet? Or do we need to torch next season too.

Izzo is a good keeper but sometimes he just seems so short. Great goal by Berisha. I don't know how Valeia stayed on the park though.

Also lowkey one of the worst refereeing performances I've ever seen. Cared more about the placement of a free kick then controlling the actual flow of the game. Valeri should have been sent as well.

AFL anthems are so shite
