Had to miss the game because of work commitments. Just watched the highlights. I cannot believe the chances we miss and the soft goals we let in - again! At least it wasn't just Brucie this time but, seriously, how can we continue to miss four or five gilt-edged chances a match? We don't deserve finals this year.

As for Kossie as coach in the long-term......? Changing a system that isn't working isn't a sign of brilliance. But the team is working hard now and running out games. Maybe the players we have to bring back in will sort out the leaky defense and the attacking players will start scoring those chances.

Or maybe the FFA will just make all the goals bigger for us.

Maybe.

Can I be the first one to ask.....how about Mirron???

***ducks for cover***

A Kossie/Miron partnerhip?

I was thinking more of a replacement but that could work....

Sounds like an ok idea but kossie has mre sucess then a manager then miron

this will be the second time kossie have ever missed out on finals if we miss out which looks likely now lol

I don't know about Miron. He'd be entertainment value though. I'd like to know who is responsible for the tyouth development at the Gold Coast because whoever it is (maybe it is Miron) they've done a bloody good job.

Anyone got any photo's from the Red Terrace tifo before the game? That was pretty cool...

Mike Mulvey, is it not?

There is still 15 points to get and it's not like Heart have been storming home....and Sydney have a shocking form at home.

How about because it means any time a team gets a break, they could just punch one of their teammates in the face and expect play to stop.


Why would we stop just because two Sydney players collide...

Guys - your active support has been shit last 2 months, why?

Two months? Try two years.

That is not poor sportsmanship and all teams would have taken advantage of it - especially when it is a player as renouned for diving as Jamo (I hope you noted when the ref told him off for diving, I wonder if SFC are going to fine him for it?).

Kossie isn't a long term solution, and neither is Miron. Personally I wish we could get back Stubbins.

What's been shit about it?

I thought the Tiffo at the Syd game was the best I've seen for our games.

Also when I went to both Vitcory away games (Jihad and AAMI park I was well impressed)

Personally I think things are changing for active support for Adelaide. Sitting in the East Stand it looked like the Terace had at least the same or maybe more than the Army for the Sydney game. I also think the Terrace tend to sing a more. They seem to go the whole game instead of fits and starts.

Just my distance impression from dead on the half way line i.e. not part of the active support :)

Such a troll question. Seriously how the fuck would anyone here know that. Clearly just an excuse to call our supporters shit. Good work.

Doh #-o #-o I got trolled :oops: :oops:

Not much a coach can do on the sidelines if the strikers miss from 5 yards or 3 defenders who can't stop a 19yo from shooting & scoring, or a keeper who is weak on his left.

Serg is having a bad season is all. Remember Owen was scoring for fun 1 year and missing open goals the next, same with Rooney........a lot of strikers go through it except maybe Batigol & 'Pele

Actually right from the get go I've blamed the owners, obviously for the sake of the game nationally it was very important for us to have owners and let the FFA spend their money on better wine & lunches.
They bought the club mainly as a business venture and not out of passion for the game - a la Nick Bianco.
They then set about getting rid of the passionate staff who had been there since inauguration, charged the supporters for every thing they could and let Rini have total control of the on-field stuff - actually as coach this was expected but when stalwarts of a successful team were given the boot for injury prone players, sooks & players who were not up to standard, the writing was on the wall for a difficult season ahead.

Unfortunately their reluctance to bolster our hopeless defence will see a pitiful ACL campaign as well ( I hope that Persipura challenge in court & win, then they can spend 100's of thousand's being thrashed )

However, I hope the owners stick with it and learn from their mistakes and once again AU will be back where it belongs

same with me redcup completely agree

oh and i think our supporters have been pretty good (from the terrace and the army i mean) past few months take sydney losing but still chanting

Game on Thursday at Hindmarsh. Hope we don't lose. :p

I am proud of my new home town team, Adelaide United, They are proper, functioning football team. I love it.

Had to laugh, I'm guessing you are being sarcastic.

Given we spent a ton of money and are only sitting above a team that costs what Palmer could find underneath his couch cushions.

After watching Friday night, I'd like to take this comment back. We would need more than a couple key personnel changes.

We have too many "luxury" players, by that I mean are ok going forward but offer little defending. Ramsay is a classic example (but certainly not alone), how many times have we conceded goals this season due to him being out of position? Far too many IMO.

So at this stage I'm sure I'm not the only person that's given up on the season and wants to focus on the ACL. I am hoping to see some better performances in the A-League though as preperation for the much tougher ACL.


Even though situation seems dire, I always hold onto a sliver of hope.

See I'm in the same boat but knowing our spectacualrly crapola season we are likely to be kicked out of the ACL tommorow.

Yes, but look on the bright side. If we get kicked out we'll have a really long pre-season so that we can be ready and raring to go next year. That's always gonna work....isn't it? Actually, now that I think about it......](*,) :evil:

How's that Partizan Belgrade friendly coming along? :p

About as well as our "sister club" relationship with Shandong Luneng and Miami FC :cool:

God yeah I remember that. Paying dividends those relationships :) Never costed us anything I guess but was/is a bit of a paper tiger.
