Point taken.

Sadly, nothing will be done though

He aggressively told us boys to put our flags down in front of him, so one of us told him to fuck off. Words were exchanged and then he literally jumped a few rows of seating to have a go at a 16 year old. I think it was even captured on television when he was jumping the seats.

well we had someone banned for 5 years this week. Who knows what else might happen.

The club's newsletter this morning showed a very protective stance against media, ex-player and fan rumblings, (almost too protective for my liking), so watch this space cos i reckon they will be pouncing on these incidents.

Absolutely fucking disgraceful from these so-called "supporters".

Sure it was. ;)

Why are you in this thread may I ask? I know you're stupid but christ, fuck off already.

Was that when our guys went up to the closest bay to the Red Army and unzipped their jackets when MV scored :lol: That was funny.

First of all full credit to gold coast for the win, they had a plan and stuck to it and there results are not a true reflection of how they have performed.

Surprising not being a fan of there's like this squad more than when they had smeltz, culina and co

Second not that this had any effect on the game but Ryan sheppard calling a foul on Kamara for jugs&lager tripping over the ball in the 83rd minute.

Biggest disappointment is from start to finish Adelaide played in neutral gear

No risk no reward football

Watching the lady reds today even though form and history suggests a four goal defeat there performances are much better

Considering someone gets a five year ban for holding a flare, I think these cunts should be banned for life!

The Red Army are a disgrace. The Red Terrace were just supporting their club and that is why it started. And I agree; the cops and security did nothing wrong.

After what I witnessed last night, I agree.

Good to see an RT boy on here, Ducky. Which one are you? I was your "guest of honour" last night :P

The footage of him jumping the seats has been repeating on Fox Sports News all day :lol:

^thats the guy i saw at the end of the match on tv!

Daniel. You're TM, right?

That's right bro. Great to finally put a name to your avatar :P

The only positive out of that game is that Teeboy looks good, should keep him on the bench to come in for 20-30 minutes a game for the rest of the season.

General, I thought Djite started to show a bit as well.

Yeah, what I saw was that SVD is well underdone - he needs to get dropped to the NYL for a couple of matches.

Yeah SVD is lacking in confidence, touch and obviously match fitness, he looked like he didn't want to be there.

It was ugly, he and Djite should be bouncing the ball off each other and turning their defenders - but SVD is not making any positive moves at all. He has been so very negative in his general play, such a disappointment from someone who is so experienced and should be lifting the team.

no one will improving, full stop, players arent interested in playing under rini, they have been given so many chancees, dont know why people are still holding out hope,we have another flogging coming up on thursday night, but rini is safe as nobody can make a decision, as i said cause 1. owners are not soccer savy and 2 they have vented interests with rini.

Yeah Djite showed passion and has done so for weeks, now for him to not fall over so often and try to beat his man with foot - ball skill, rather than just trying to run through him as if he was a ghost.

I'm betting SVD, along with many others will suddenly show some passion and spark now that Kossie's calling the shots.
Truth is seems none of the players liked Rini - except McKain maybe

Anyone know what time the Financial Members thingy is on tommorrow night? I've lost the email. Will be mighty interesting. Suppose Kossie will be there instead of Rini??

Kossie said he won't be there on the radio show yesterday.

I think SvD is just struggling due to a lack of decent service from midfield. More than any other player, SvD misses Marcos for delivery of defence cutting passes. I hope Kossie works on some swift movement from the back third to th front third. Without the x-factor of MF, the only way we'll create holes in an opposition defence is to move the ball competently and quickly through the middle before opposition defenders have time to get back into position. Confidence and a better structure/formation will help this. Coolen might have been talking, but I think the players had long since stopped listening, so their confidence was well down, hence the unwillingness to take a change going forward. this lead to the endless playing of the ball sideways and backwards(thinking safety rather than attacking with flare and verve.)

I don't think Serg is out of form. Last Friday he produced consistently good passes and some sublime skill. He also held the ball up. The issue is that the whole team seems down on fitness and that Serg gets no service at all. Coolen seems to have managed to play everyone out of position so much that no-one knows where anyone else is. Serg needs to be one-out to have a chance of scoring and that means he needs clever service that knows where he's likely to be - or - he needs players with real pace running off him. Bruce plays his heart out but is slower than a wet week and Dario.....well....he doesn't even seem to know where he is himself at the moment.

Yes I thought Serg was bloody brilliant and to be honest it looks like his passing has gotten even better from last season, he produced quite a lot of one touch passes that cut through GCU's defense, it was a joy to watch.


Shame it was about the only thing in the match that was a joy to watch though :(

'a spring in the step of the Adelaide squad' = Val-speak for 'I demanded this change and things are better already'.
Looks like he's changed from bile back to positive non-news reporting. It will be interesting to see how much support Val gives the team in coming weeks, and how bile-free he remains if the second coming of Kossie doesnt produce a miracle.
