Despite the loss, I've been pretty impressed by Adelaide - I'd go on record and say that Kurz has done the best job in the league considering the constraints (mostly financial) on his squad, and he's polished them into a well drilled unit with a few young Aussies shining throughout the season. I hope my pissant friends on this forum aren't too disheartened because I think there is a lot to look forward to next season.

A few things

- horrid crowd. Must be major concerns upstairs with that
- first half was dire
- Muscat was lucky. Made no changes until 88.
- Valeri looked red on replay but there it was not clear as looking at other foul
- the ref blew whistle every time someone fall over
- Adelaide over celebrated that first goal and you could see them drop it after mv scored
- Kenny did well in last few minutes
- some great defending at points from Adelaide

Nobody really gives a shit about the A League anymore, it's a stale product.   

Kudos to Berisha, great striker & an asset to any club.  

well summed up. the most pointed one was the refereeing. the game wasn't allowed to flow because he kept blowing his whistle. 43 free kicks in a game is a farkin joke... although not as bad as the last derby (54 fouls).

I mentioned it at the start of the thread, Beath is notorious for it. And to no surprise that is what happened.

The positive thing about my club is we know how to scout the world properly for talent. We go after managers with good connections and back them to go after the players they want. That's why so many of our seasons are both unpredictable and exciting at the outset because one season's direction could be completely different to the next. We were the "spanish experiment" one year then suddenly we're German. We were the first deep scouting in latin America. We were the first to make a targeted play for an Asian talent (Shenqing Qu). Another positive is it makes the club feel truly multicultural. Club and fans alike embrace new thinking, new players and new culture. If you take a like for like club Perth Glory... NSL roots, broad based from the outset... we have consistently out performed them and our club culture is superior. They had a 5 year head start on us but we're more developed in being a true footy club.

Also, we can't fucking beat Melbourne Victory because these fuckin cnts live in our fuckin heads.

I wouldn't feel too disheartened if I was a United fan. You are probably one or two players short off being a team challenging for the tile next year. Just need hold onto the core of the squad and pay for a marquee or two.

Mileusenic is a jet. Would have liked to see Adelaide get the ball to him quicker in one on one situations (there were opportunities) rather than have him use his pace in behind with long balls. 

One thing that constantly bemuses me is that when we actually do get it to Mileusnic one on one, he virtually never attacks the defender. Way too quick to just turn back away from goal and dump the ball off.

never expected to win this game going into it but after going 1-0 up belief crept in only to be destroyed in typical fashion by AUFC.

Yep, that's what hurt. 

Now just hoping for a stable off-season and that whatever hiring/firing that's to come gets done early for once.
