Apparently we are currently 5-0 up against Croydon in the 2nd half of a friendly. Djite with two, Dilevski and van Dijk with one and an own goal.

van Dijk with 2, actually.

Fair enough, just going by what I'm reading on Facebook. Are you there?

EDIT: You're right, 6-0 now. :cool:

That's van Dijk's hattrick. The goal before that would have been credited to him as well.

Adelaide United 9 def Croydon Kings 0

Djite x 2, van Dijk x 4 (1 x penalty), Dilevski x 1, Kostopoulos x 1, Afro Kid x 1

Not a bad effort. Any stand out performances from the young guys/trails?

Afro kid was good apparently. I'm still trying to figure out who it was. Don't think it was Teeboy.

nice result even for a friendly
i cant wait for the new season considering going to watch the patriots play this week to feed my craving
although they are not traveling to well lol

I know the feeling mate, I've been a regular at Para Hills this year to feed my craving, but due to the dross on show at t'paddocks:( and the unusually long off season, I'm flying out Sunday to be in Cardiff for next weeks Socceroos friendly...FTW, Only a week away, but by the time I get back, we'll be even closer to the start of a new United season!! COYR!

Nice :D Have a good trip! Trying to save as much cash as I can for Brazil 2014.

Ian Kamau from Blue Eagles is reportedly the afro kid.

One thing to say - respect!

hope you have a great time wish i had the cash to do that lol

Isn't he one of the lads that footballnews was big upping whilst bagging the AUFC selections for the Cup?

Ian Kamau - I remember where I've seen him before now. He was on Fox's Next Football Superstar show, I managed to watch his elimination show. :p Oh and I've seen him play for ABE before too.

It all makes sense now.

Ah Fox, the bane of my footballing pleasures - no Fox at my house :(

Membership Committee meeting was held, will executive summary it as per Matt's request rather than reprint wholesale at a later time.

Since that first query through Stephen was mine and Matt wanted clarity I fired off this email to him (including an apology for the poor construction of the intial query/suggestion!):

"Secondly because I’m an architect and if the club was looking at this sort of thing I’d love to be involved and put forward my company to offer service."

this is highly inappropriate in his role representing the fans. and surely as an architect Stephen would understand the concept of procurement.

Stephen isn't an architect mate, that was someone else. Will find it for you...

right so he's just bringing a bunch of questions from others to the table. no worries. Perhaps Stephen should review the content and make sure only the relevant parts of the question are asked. i think fans will be taken more seriously if we present a professional front.

I also think he wants to not miss out on anything which may click with the rest of the committe. He presented my issue in all its terribleness for example!

Yes, well we're all quick to be experts about process, Coverdale.
I quickly collated the questions I received on two forums (this and WATR) and sent them through to Matt. On the night I clarified the questions as we discussed them, bearing in mind that I had done a 'cut and paste'. In his minutes Matt has simply reprinted the questions as I sent them through to him. I explained that they were unclear and grabbed from the forums. Unfortunately nothing of this has made it to the minutes, which is understandable given his workload but unhelpful to you. I wasn't aware he'd be doing this.
I haven't had time to write up my version of the answers because I've been very busy lately. All committee members are volunteers and we do the best we can. I asked for and collected fans questions because I think it's crucial that the club hears a little of what we all think - not just the committee.
I've yet to be given the contract to redesign Hindmarsh! :lol:
Next time I'll try and be 'professional' enough to bag someone without knowing the details of the situation I'm addressing.

You probably know but there are friedly matches planned for:
September 9 v Gold Coast, 7.30pm
September 23 v Melbourne Victory, 7.30pm
Ticket details to be released shortly.
Apart from the games listed above there is also a match v Bris Roar on 16 Sept.

Get excited! \:d/

I stil <3 you mate ;) You going to be a blue season ticket holder? We will have to catch up for a beer!

I'll be blue, General. Best seats in the house except when it rains - or the sun is out! :lol:
Beer! Yes!

That blessed sun ;) Will need long sleeved kit tops to keep my arms from burning! *hint* *hint* :D

i simply responded to how it was presented. not bagging and nothing personal. good on you for volunteering.

Thanks Stephen for bringing my question up, hopefully something good can come of the suggestion.

Coverdale, I am quite aware of the process of procurement, I was just merely placing some further background to my interest with the idea, and off coarse if I were to find that there was a potential job in it id definitely be speaking with the right people to get my company right up the top of the list to win the job.
