The crowd looks good, has to be around 15k?.

Joke of a penalty. I'd say the game was rigged but we couldn't put away our chances 

WSW really been talked up by the media this preseason but they’ve been average to poor st best; and they have been again tonight. If they don’t click soon they’ll have a piss poor season start.

This is rigged. How was that a foul???

Cracking pen.

-PB

Sydney FC just far too clinical and WSW far too wasteful.

How about Grants haircut

Special hit from De Jong.

Redmayne MOTM for me. Some big saves when we were really up against us

Did anybody have any luck watching the FFA cup games live with a Fox sports digital stream ?

Same. He had a great match.

Crowd?

14k Waz.

Just goes to show how venues like Penrith look great at 70% full

I guess we’ll take 14k, but they have to stop this pregame BS of “only a few remaining tickets left” to try and sell more, they only end up looking stupid as they were never anywhere near selling this out. So take a good 14k and move on.

The final should get that as well which will give this seasons comp a healthy finish with two good crowds in appropriately sized stadiums.

Hoping next year for a couple of revamps - a totally free draw and finish with the final the week before the season kicks off still not perfect but progress.

..agree with those. How about renaming it the Australia Cup? 

The Steven Lowy Memorial Cup?


.... too soon???

Yep Redmayne had a good match without any fuckups.  Last season he was making special saves however giving you at least one scary fuckup per match. Hopefully this season we don't get that. 

Boys did well & stepped up in the second half to once again decimate the Wanderers shyte.   

Adelaide definitely have an advantage for the final they are playing Friday night at home. Sydney have the derby Saturday night

“Yep Redmayne had a good match without any fuckups. Last season he was making special saves however giving you at least one scary fuckup per match.”

err, he had one scary fuck up last night. He let a straightforward shot slip through him and it rolled across an empty goal, had anyone been running in it was a tap in.

Missed that one, there you go.  

He had more than one. He has a tendency to weakly punch a dangerous ball out then strongly claim it as you would expect a keeper to do. The only thing he catches are the uncontested lobs.  It put us under a lot of pressure in the first half.

ON BIGfooty they said the ratings were 27k for the ffa semi sydney derby

sorry that was for bentleigh vs adelaide 

The Sydney derby was the 13th ranked programme on STV with 55,000 viewers. All 12 positions above were Bathurst.
