Couldn't give Ramsay any points after he allowed Jamie fucking Coyne to score a goal.

Slory? V generous there General

Either him or Ramsay, and Slory didn't let Jamie fucking Coyne score a goal against us.

To be fair, Jamie fucking Coyne's goal was pretty spectacular.

I think that's what hurt the most aha
As much as Sydney deserved that goal it still smarts knowing Jamie Coyne probably won;t hit another one that sweet this season

Actually what hurst is someone described by people who have been involved with PG is that Jamie fucking Coyne is probably one of the most unskilled players in the HAL and that strike would have been an absolute fluke.

Anyone know whats going on with Boogaard?

Hasn't fully recovered from the seems of it :( But then haven't seen any updates on him from AUFC or from himself either.

no one ever talks about him and never hear anything about him

Fixed.

Closer to what I meant, yeah

There is a rumor that Diego Pellegrini has been sacked by AUFC, this cannot possibly be true can it?

Very early notice but on Saturday 26th November reds supporters will have the following schedule clash

Lady reds versus Sydney FC at Hindmarsh Stadium at 2.30 (due to televised game)

baby reds versus Newcastle at Burton Park at 4.00

It would have been nice if they made this game a double header but I guess since the reds don't run the lady reds anymore we had this. Down cause Im trying to support our club through these competitions (still consider the w-league side a part of Adelaide united)

^^At Timmo, the FFA need to bring back the Youth League games as curtain raisers to the HAL games.

There's nothing better than leaving work early on a Friday afternoon, heading down to Hindmarsh, jagging a sweet carpark and watching the Baby Reds then the Pensioner Reds. I loved doing it in the 09/10 season.

It also gives the club an additional selling point when promoting season or matchday tickets.

Just catching up on my tweets and noticed yesterday that Val said that Thomas Broich's agent was in contact with Ade Utd in 2009! If only hey? Mind u probably would've meant no Flores. That I could not have lived without :)

We were chasing Flores actively at the time, pity we couldn't have jagged both of them ;)

I agree but probably two possible factors for the change

subs not used in the game the night before could get more game time and match fitness

cost of Hindmarsh stadium venue hire if they are charging by the hour

I do agree though unlike other A-league clubs we had it so good to see the youth league play as curtain raisers. So far this season on a friday night there have been no curtain raisers at all.

In my opinion there shouldnt be any curtain raisers, seems a little amatuer and I dont think the youth team should be playing at Hindmarsh

What's amateur about it?


I think they should be playing at Hindmarsh so that they can get acclimatised to our pitch. If they make it to the seniors squad, it will be a competitive advantage.

:oops: :oops: :oops:

I enjoy watching the NYL prior to games. Makes a real day of it.

Fair points raised.

Regarding stadium costs, The Advertiser revealed last year that AU pays $17,000 per game, but it doesn't specify if that's 'per day' or 'per hour', so it may cost extra to host a game there.

On the subs, I remember Birighitti would get subbed off at half time or during the second half to preserve energy incase he was needed in the seniors squad :lol:

Ultimately, i think once "Beverley Park" is finalised, the Baby Reds will be playing there, along with the Lady Reds.

If the club has to hire the ground dont you think it is a waste of money?

I dont believe there is a competitive advantage

As stated above, we don't know if the club is charged by the day or hour, so it's not necessarily a waste of money. I'm still curious to know why it's "amateur" though?

They already hire it for the day? Its not like they'd have moto-cross in the morning and football in the afternoon.*

[size=1]*Except in Newcastle.[/size]

do they have curtain raisers anywhere else or just here?

FMD.

You dont think its amatuer to have a full game on the pitch right before the main game?

:-k

In one sense, but as far as creating a bigger "event" for fans there is a clear rationale.

I see what you mean but it wont bring in anymore fans and if its not on we wont lose any fans.

off that subject are there any of our players that came through the youth team? Malik?
