I think you're the dreamer if you think ppl in Sydney give a shit about South:lol:

We do consider u our biggest rivals. And when we haven't played each other in 7 years, it would hVe been huge in Sydney.

He's a gypsy who should remember that we run football now.

2 days to go FFS

Wish it was on earlier.

Sydney olympic 3 Def South melbourne 2


Olympic too good
Thats all i have to say

3-2 to Olympic. Entertaining game. Crowd around 3,500-4,000. Someone should have told Olympic it was a FRIENDLY though - full on tackles and heavy verbals throughout. Ironically one of their lads sent himself to the hospital with a bad challenge.

Weather held out well, facilities look great. Proud for all my friends at the club.

Did you go? Olympic deff slightly better but not by much, and from what other olympic fans at the ground said they started with their full 11, South kept Fernando, Joe Keenan and Gasparis out of todays game....first 10 mins were interesting though South should have been 3-0 up, took the lead 30 seconds in and Rixon missed 2 sitters that he would normally bury only minutes later, but Olympic played much better after that....should be said after Rixon made it 2-2 both teams made about 5 subs each and South reserve keeper made a mess of the 3rd goal...surprisingly rough game for a friendly, 40 minute halves as well:lol:

As for the important part, wow what a venue, looks amazing.

ambulance came and took him in the 2nd half, Olympic pressed South all over the ground, i guess if your gonna travel down you may as well try and win:lol:

Reportedly 4000 not bad for a friendly that wasnt right after the season nor was it in pre-season

Olympic 3-2 South, people at the game said it was a decent game

Which Olympic player got injured/what player number?

4k is better then GCU's crowd.

Peter Triantis, went diving into a challenge and hurt himself badly, obviously dont know the extent of the injury but for an ambulance to come it must have been bad, i have no idea why your players were trying so hard to be honest....what a waste if something like that was to rule him out for next season.

Thats fucked he's a quality player and a good kid as well, I hope its not as serious as it looked

We play like that every game

Heard someone saying he had broken his leg. Hope it's an easy fix and he's back in time for next season. Hate players missing games.

Geez it waS pleasnt to see all the politicians at the ground

Can't remember her name but announced the occasion as "Soccer's version of back to the future" and there is more to come - not sure what it meant but sounded very encouraging

Full marks to Olympic for their spirit and vigor - a rivalry is a rIvalry regardless of the occasion

I sincerely hope this becomes an annual event - the football quality was very good - better than some HAL games

The venue is top shelf and the pitch is like a billiard table

The sound system and video scoreboard engages the crowd and allows all the new fans to see just how deep-rooted this club is

Full marks to everyone

Round 1 cannot come quick enough

this.......sounds par for the course

At risk of emflaming certain forum members...

Heart and Olympic mixing freely throughout the day, no trouble anywhere, didn't see any police and any security presence was very low key.

Great day out.

Heart and Olympic?

Good news on the injury front with Peter Triantis not breaking his leg

But had severe bone bruising, should be right for start of the 2012 NSWPL

Sounds like the South Melbourne fans need to come and watch some NSW Premier League games

Most games in the NSW PREMIER LEAGUE have these kinds of tackles

Even for friendlies? if it was a serious SMFC v Olympic clash i could understand, was just a bit strange.
