Thought I'd post this today as there has been a last minute change to the Mac/MC kick-off time due to the forecast of high temperatures.

Friday 17 Mar
Adelaide United vs Wellington Phoenix
Coopers Stadium @ 7:15pm (SA time) / 7:45pm (East Coast time) / 9:45pm (NZ time)

Saturday 18 Mar
Brisbane Roar vs Western United
Kayo Stadium @ 4:00pm (QLD time) / 5:00pm (East Coast time)

Newcastle Jets vs Perth Glory
McDonald Jones Stadium @ 5:00pm (East Coast Time) / 2:00pm (WA time)

Sydney FC vs Western Sydney Wanderers
Allianz Stadium @ 7:45pm

Sunday 19 Mar
Melbourne Victory vs Central Coast Mariners
AAMI Park @ 5:00pm (note this game will now be on FTA)

Macarthur FC vs Melbourne City
Campbelltown Stadium @ 7:00pm (note new kick-off time, also game will no longer be on FTA)

Thread title should say Round 21. If there are any mods here, the change would be greatly appreciated.

Massive couple of games in the context of the season.

CCM game too of course though not in that specific contest itself.

United slip here and WSW and Mariners get up there will be 4 teams in equal second place.

That's crazy

With United playing WSW away next weekend tomorrow night is even more massive.

No guarantee WSW gets up in the derby either of course

I didn't hear the city game getting rescheduled.

The a league isn't a lot of things but what it is is unpredictable and that's why I watch.

You expect Adelaide to outclass nix at home 

The other games not to sure. We should be able to beat bulls but last week wasn't our best match. Mariners beating victory at home when's the last time that happened?

Marcelo in for WSW should give them the edge 

And utter bulls*** from the Smurfs, they are are appealing the 2nd game ban for Max Burgess.
I know that serious foul play and violent conduct red cards in Football NSW game are both automatic 2 games for a first offence and longer for a second instance for the same player in the same season.

Mrcela out, Beadling stays in the starting line-up
Clues returns from suspension. Schneider's likely out, Amalfitano likely back to wing,  midfield Bozanic to partner the Hof

Also, multiple suspensions possible with number of players on 4 yellow cards as well as Risdon on 7 yellows.

Due to extreme weather in Sydney this Sunday, three fixtures across the A-League Men's & A-League Women's have had their kick-off times pushed back.

will the roos play for their clubs this weekend?

Yeah. Good is this first game is a Friday giving that bit more time instead of the Thursday and Tuesday slot. Friday is good for fans yet neutrals might be on the NRL. 

Apparently Melbourne game is nearly sold out. I expect Commbank to be full. 

And the challenge was, after a long hearing, unsuccessful.

That got me curious so had a quick look

Looks like the a-league has a break over the international window.
I remember the league decided they would do this but it's still so damn good to see.

Would have been horrible missing Goodwin Gauci and Irankunda for a gem or two ie. being punished for success

Though to be fair Gauci must be close to being dropped and he is pretty lucky the league will stop as I think it would have been a good excuse to put Delianov in and see what happens.

Poor Delianov. Clearly was our first choice before that injury. An injury that was avoidable and I'm still upset the attacker didn't get a card for it. Against Wellington actually.

My bad Waine got a yellow - should have been a red.
delianov was on track to be the young Australian keeper until that idiot studded him in the shoulder with a flying kick

Mate how's the crowd at coopers looking tonight? Its bloody good to watch on tv when it's nearly full 

Can never predict.
Every time I have expected less this season we have reached 10k
So now that I expect it we will randomly get 8k aha

I can't go tonight and I'm pretty annoyed about it but luckily we have a few home games left.
Irankunda slated to start the game which is going to be very interesting .
A whole different ball game to being a super sub

Crazy crazy half but I’ll take the score line 

Hey Rufer “sssshhhhhh”

One more and we have 2nd best goal diff too aha

4th game in 5 we have scored 4+

Unbeaten in 10

13 goals scored in our last 3 home games

Weird to see irakunda miss!

Good thing I captained Goodwin in fantasy 

What a bizarre game. I’ll take the win tho. Everyone needs to settle down re Irankubda, yes he’s a prospect but you could see the amount of expectation in his performance tonight.

Yeah that miss was pure expectation hey

Yeah who does that down 3-1? Seriously just get back to the half way line and keep chipping yourself back into the game.

I feel sorry for the bitters that aren’t watching this season. 

Aha exactly. What an idiot 

Yes, everyone expects a world class goal anytime he’s near the ball. Not healthy for a 17 year old.

Reckon that miss was the roos call up.

good news is he has another 16 months here which is plenty of time to adapt mentally

meanwhile: 

wellington pheonix xg - 3.37
Adelaide United xg - 2.56

Adelaide with some good finishers
