So now to the business end of the season. The 5 semi finalists are Bonnyrigg White Eagles, Blacktown City FC, Sydney United, APIA Leichhardt Tigers and the Marcono Stallions.

As minor premiers Bonnyrigg get a week off. The games are as follows.

Blacktown vs Sydney United Sunday, August 8 3:00pm, Lily Holmes Stadium

APIA vs Marconi Sunday, August 8 3:00pm, Leichhardt Oval

The winner of Blacktown vs United goes on to play Bonnyrigg while the loser goes on the play the winner of APIA v Marconi with the loser of that clash being eliminated.

That is good that the games do not clash with the A-League match.
Should be an interesting final series

I'll try and make it along. Depends if i have any money left over from Friday and Saturday night, and if i got a shitload of uni work.

Sucks they clash with each other though =/

Blactown 1-1 Sydney United (Blacktown win 5-4 on penalties)

APIA 1-0 Marconi

So the games next week are

Bonnyrigg v Blacktown - winner into the grand final

Sydney United v APIA winner plays loser of Blacktown v Bonny loser is out.

APIA!!!!!! :d:d:d::dd:d:d:d:d

They'll go onto win it :lol:.

They should make one of those epic US NFL underdog style movies, where they start of shit, and get shitter, then they turn it all around and go onto win it :lol:

Blacktown game sounds like it was a cracker. It will be interesting to see the Bonnyrigg V United major semi final in 2 weeks time. NSWFA must be jumping for joy that they don't have to work out the fan seperation for another week.


APIA are not going to beat United. It is not their time.

It would have been interesting if we had beaten Blacktown. Then we would have played Bonnyrigg this week and then possibly in the GF again:lol:

United couldn't put a goal past 9 men for half an hour, then Blacktowns keeper (albeit a pretty bad penalty) saves them the match.

It was a great game. Would have loved to see the headache at Football NSW if United had scored that goal.

an apia fan told me there was over 3000 at the match.

great stuff

Bonnyrigg 0-4 Blacktown

A boilover of epic proportions here. So Blacktown into the Grand Final and Bonnyrigg to play the winner of United v APIA. Won't FNSW just love it of United win :lol: Well at least they don't have to worry about a United v Bonnyrigg Grand Final.

come on guys, beat APIA, i'm a sad cunt and have no life, and would love to watch BWE v Croatia, woops United ;)

Fixed for old times sake :p

Sydney United 2-0 APIA. AET \:d/ \:d/
Goals to Glavas and Zdrillic

So next week Bonnyrigg v Sydney United for a place in the Grand Final against Blacktown.

boys stepped up when it mattered..!!

where will the game be played at, fans or no fans?

if there is no fans this is wrong.

Put it on sbs if no fans

I assume it'll be played at Bonno which I assume would means only Bonnyrigg members.

:( was hoping APIA would win.

Still, semi's is good.

The final had better not be at bonnyrigg. I'll go along to it. But if its members only, that's shit. Should play it somewhere like Leichhardt Oval - or hold of and have it as the pre-game to the SFC CCM game in fortnight.

It'll be at Bonnyrigg and only for members becase it's only a prelim semi, so FNSW can afford to close it to the public. If it was a Grand Final they wouldn't but because it's only a prelim they will.

go on united

Where do you reckon the final will be held?

i have a whisper it will be played before a sydney fc home game, :-$

BWE vs UNITED, will be behind closed doors, NO FANS AT ALL.

FNSW wanted it open to the public, (to take all the gate money) but didnt want to be responsible for any trouble, so they told so they told both clubs to supply all security and cops etc...the clubs told them to get fuked and both decided too play it behind closed doors, no fans at all. its a shame really. FUCK FNSW!

I suggested that earlier in this thread....:-k 8-[

Why not just hold it at a Neutral venue, and FNSW pay for security...

why should FNSW be responsible for the trouble when its BWE and SYU fans, why cant the club be responsible, fkn goose,

Simply because the money earned in gate taking from the semis goes into there coffers thats football nsw

Both clubs didnt want the game to go ahead two years ago and football nsw
told both clubs that they would take responsibility for security on both games

Guess what the cops have no idea to stop trouble happening

So both clubs no they cant stop it happening

Ps i was at both games 2 yeara ago
Tell you want if it wasnt for 2 horses with police chasing the serbs
The fifty odd cros on the team bus would of been in lots of trouble

Just saying the clubs no that the trouble cannot bestopped

A CROWD OF 3 4 THOUSAND WOULD TURN UP EVEN IF YOU HAD 100 COPS THERE WOULD STILL BE TROUBLE
TROUBLE

this is a dummy post, seriously

why should they? you got NFI.

so FNSW takes all the money from gate revenue, then doesnt want to pay for security & cops which will cost the clubs tens of thousands of dollars...fukn tight asses, whats wrong with playing the game at a neutral venue, they can keep the gate revenue and pay for security and till they will probably make a turnover.

FNSW dont want responisiblity for security but if an incident occured they'd be the first to dish out heavy fines and kick out teams of the competition just because of a few dikheads, i mean seriously is it hard to contain 5k crowd well well organised cops and security, no its not, but FNSW are just lazy cunts with no fukn idea how to run or organise things, atleast there backsides are covered and get $$ thats all they care about.
