hope so  its been a long time since the wolves where on top of the ladder, we are as good as a lot of the aleague sides in the front 3rd but very shaky at the back   

Paul Reid first coach to be sacked this season. 

Not the best football on show but one of the most entertaining npl games I’ve seen in a while, despite the loss I still believe we could push for a top 5 spot if we gel a bit better a squad.  Decent atmosphere at Seymour as well.

 Interesting to see a few of our fans who usually attend Sydney FC games as well as ours put us above them for a change.

Gladesville Ryde Magic F.C Official Site

 · On a Wednesday night under the Christie Park lights undefeated NPL3 High Flyers Gladesville Ryde Magic welcomed NPL1 juggernaut Sydney United. With a wealth of experience all across the pitch and a hungry and well structured team Magic did not have most of the possession but seemed to control the game, creating the better chances. With fierce quick combinations on the counter between Chris Gaitatzis, Christos Tomaras and newcomer Zoran Kolundzic, Gladesville Ryde Magic got their shots off in dangerous areas but the goal didn’t come. In the second half, Magic still kept their structure but United pilled on the pressure getting the ball out wide and trying to deliver a blow to the Magic defence. Cult figure and 5 time NPL3 Goalkeeper of the Year, Kyriakos Tohouroglou pulled off a couple magnificent saves but a bit over an hour of play Sydney United got the goal they were looking for and managed to hold on to the 1-0 lead till the end. It was a game enjoyed by the crowd that gathered on a cold Wednesday night and even though before the game a Sydney United win might have been the expected result, Gladesville gave a good account of themselves and will take pride in their overall team performance. Sydney United are into the next round of the FFA Cup and both teams will now focus on their respective league matches over the weekend with Magic looking to stay top of their league and United trying to close the gap to the top in NPL1.

So, Thanks SU supporters for the atmosphere, it was a pleasure hosting you and the team.
Looked like all enjoyed yourselves.
Telling factor as expected "fitness" difference.
We had our chances early with a full tank of gas.
Glad our fellas made you work hard for the win.
Good luck next round.
Love the Cup.

Love Football

Good report.   

So what happened on Saturday at Marconi? Was it Wanderers or SdyFC fans that turned up to cause trouble?  
On the field, Marconi were ruthless in that first 30 min. 

no idea.

there is footage floating around of a king hit attack from a marconi 20s player. 

this isnt going to end well for both clubs.

I'd love to see that footage, if that's the case, player should be rubbed out for a long time. I still can't see that as justification for a large group of united supporters running a team Marconi supporters and stealing their banners, on 2 occasions mind you...

Marconi as a club needs to shoulder some of the blame, i guess they thought positioning 2 sets of active supporters within 30-40m of each other with nothing separating them was a good idea...lol it's as if they've never watched a football match from anywhere around the world before.

It wasn't a good look, but in my opinion, the jumping onto the pitch and pushing a player against wolves was far worse than a minor crowd scuffle.

5-0 after 30 minutes?  Is the Sydney United coach sacked yet?  

No, not yet. 

some players need to take a good hard look at themselves. 

Defensively we are a shambles. 

I hope that footage also shows that the mug that got belted was trying to set fire to the Marconi banner and a young boy tried to stop him and got knocked over by the mug, if the mug didn't get his jaw broken he didn't get his full wages. The reason he was in that area was to set the banner alight, there were no Marconi supporters went into the Uniteds area.

what a load of shit lol... yeah a 50 year old father and a united youth coach mind you got hit cause he went to set the banners on fire lol, listen to yourself... the footage doesnt show that. 

on the field, it looks like the referee Tim Danaskos might of fuked up, issuing Mirjan Pavlovic 2 yellow cards but not sending him off, as he changed jersey numbers at half time??? 

Standard united defence - deflect, deny and make up excuses for poor behaviour. Always a case of x did this so we're allowed to do that in return. For a group that proudly displays a Vatican flag, I don't see much turning the other cheek...

rich coming from a club who displays the greek sun in there crest :Whistling:

Lmao not yet

Dat United mentality.. sack coach after 6 weeks every season. Rinse/repeat

so far from the truth, we had Mark Rudan for like 4 years, brought in Jason Culina who resigned on his own accord and we have had Miro Vlastelica ever since. 

Another week and another result that could have gone our way with a bit of luck. Not going to be any easier away to Marconi this week.

 In more troubling news our 18’s and 20’s are struggling too leaving us on the bottom of the club championship, still quite early in the season but looks like the relegation battle will be close this year.

Also looked like a decent crowd at Marconi with a good atmosphere. Good too see on the live stream.

Lol, is that u Con Kebabs?

Just stay away from those priests. I hear they can be really friendly...

18's ive seen are average.
20's are decent although boys playing up in first grade who are light on.
marc warren suspended this week. where's poljak?

Forgot Davor

Davor was between the Rudan stints. 

So 4 coaches in 4 years give or take? ;) 

and Rudan only stepped aside for personal reasons. 

at the end of this season it will be 4 coaches within 6 years.

Agree with you regarding 18’s and 20’s.

Poljak is injured but should be back this week or next. Losing Tratt and Olsen then Gallifuoco plus injuries has left us thin in the middle. 

All NPL 1 sides avoided each other in FFA cup, looks like the draw was done yesterday as they didn’t include results from late night.

Rockdale v Wollongong United probably the most interesting draw.

rd 4 we cop an npl 2 side
rd 5 we cop best side in ILP
tough games.
meanwhile most NPL1 sides drawing park sides for first two rounds.

oh well, makes us stronger.

gallifuoco was only a last minute addition so I wouldn't count him.

but yes, tratt and olsen big losses.

I would definitely count him, if he wasn’t called up as an injury replacement he would be an influential player for us regardless of the limited preseason he had with us.
