+x+x+xFor anyone interested, traditional derby on tonight, Marconi v Sydney United at the Marconi club. Always entertaining passionate affairs. Always nice to see the club putting some effort into the promotion of the match. On top of the usual plentiful food options available in the ground and at the club they’ve also organised food trucks etc amongst other things. Good to see. Hopefully a decent crowd in. Great crowd tonight I’d say over 2000 in attendance. They actually promote the games for once surprise surprise people show up. Food trucks, activities for the kids great work by club Marconi Great crowd, nice win at the Palace... Great second goal by Marconi and good healthy crowd.

Out of interest, do you happen to support Sydney United ? If so were you able to get down to the match yourself? Always a decent contingent of travelling support from United which helps to make these particular Sydney derbies so enjoyable

+x+x+x+x+x+xreported by Beretta couple of months back below : They turned up to Edensor Park last week, walked out at half time when they were 3-0 down and decided to throw flares over the fence toward the united fans. I wouldn't call that "great atmosphere or support". As long as they took a photo for their social media pages to show everyone how tuff they are.. lol" Can't stand this club. Strange that one, as the core of the RBB were mainly of Croatian heritage. Really ? I must be blind for I hardly seen Cro looking types but many ME background more than any other breed. Yep. RBB's first leader/capo was ex Sydney FC SCC member Boris who is Croatian. The splinter group from RBB, Armatr/WST that died was mainly Croatian too. Ah cool interesting. so that’s leaders what of the bulk of them re backgrounds any idea you guys in the know ? Have always thought it was a bit of a misconception that the RBB are all arabs. As far as I’m aware it’s a real mix of backgrounds. A few of the “infamous” shirtless capos who have often been pictured in the media are Croatian. Born and raised in Croatia infact. But in terms of the broader group, just as far as individuals I’m personally aware of it’s made up of people of Anglo, Italian, Greek, Croatian, Bosnian, Turkish, Assyrian, Latin America heritage yes quite diverse thats for sure, I tend to see it as Beretta quotes but alas, without knowing them I probably shouldn't pigeon hole. Great win by your team, mind you SU are nothing like the previous couple of seasons nonetheless big games are always brilliant no matter. Certainly have picked up compared to early season. APIA struggling :(

Now days, it is a complete mix but most are Australians with some sort 3rd-4th gen migrant background. The drumming crew are of South America and South East Asia however.

Quite the character he is Yeah, it really reads like a Sopranos episode, alot of sour grapes from Raciti.... The fact that he is a board member at Club Marconi and other members are trying to dissuade him from pushing a motion to sack the board says it all really.... One thing is clear, the money is flowing through the Palace, some if it under the tables :)

Upsetting as an Apia fan we have really fallen off since the mid way point of the season. Been a good competition so far hoping for some open semi finals Sunday hopefully the fact that it’s Father’s Day doesn’t effect crowds!!

looking forward to this weekends final round in ACT NPL - (Former) Powerhouse Canberra Olympic faces off away against last years Premiers O'Connor Knights, in a MUST WIN match for them. Anything less will see them RELEGATED to Canberra's second division (unless of course Capital Football do a CBF in Brazil and alter the competition so they stay in the top flight).
If they do manage to win, then Griffith's Yoogali SC will also need to defeat a travelling Tuggeranong United to not face the immediate drop back to the Capital Premier League. A draw (in the event Olympic win) would see Yoogali and Olympic tied on points at the bottom of the table, but interestingly when it comes to relegation/promotion, it is not the goal difference that is the first tiebreaker, it's the position on the ladder for the U23's (which Olympic is currently 4 points clear of Yoogali, so they have that covered)
Queanbeyan City have already guaranteed promotion to the NPL next year.

+xElimination Semis Last night. Blacktown 4-2 St George AET Apia 1-2 Sydney United FT Major Semis (Winners advance to the final) Marconi Vs Blacktown Rockdale Vs Sydney United APIA v Sydney united last night was a great game, very entertaining, good atmosphere. APIA really fell away second half of the season. Sydney united always strong in one off games. Good away support from their fans last night too.
Grand final to be played at parramatta stadium next Saturday. Absolutely spewing that I happen to be interstate that weekend of all weekends. Am very quietly considering flying back just for the match if Marconi end up making it. A Marconi v Rockdale or Marconi v Sydney united final at parramatta would both be great days out.
Blacktown needed extra time to get the job done last night so I dare say there’s a chance they’ll have some heavy legs this weekend. Supposed to be mid to high 20s and sunny on Sunday so hopefully a decent crowd. Probably would have been better if it was an Marconi v APIA semi

it was a good game, and a great atmosphere. Always enjoyed going out to lambert park. Sydney United have had the edge over APIA, i think they haven't lost in the last 9 meetings. The last one would of been the 2019 Grand Final. A rockdale united final would be pulled a big crowd. Marconi will do ;)

Been a good competition so far hoping for some open semi finals Sunday hopefully the fact that it’s Father’s Day doesn’t effect crowds!! lost 9games drawn 3, was surprised how the wheels fell off. Defense leaked 48goals. SU been a bogey for a long time and 3times this season. Was annoyed and my boys that the Spirit game was on for would have been great being there. Got the Waratah Cup Totti at least. Best of luck Glenardo, I'm impressed Stallions done better than I expected this season. He's been a good soldier for you guys. https://mens.nplnsw.com.au/2024/08/29/millgate-announces-retirement/Being a double header I expect a good crowd despite the koff time and Dads Day. https://footballnsw.com.au/2024/08/22/commbank-stadium-to-host-npl-mens-and-womens-nsw-grand-final-doubleheader/

South v Hume.
Great drama but very ordinary game of football, South were outright atrocious, just long balls to nowhere, Hume play the prettier football but seem to have no interest in trying to score. Inevitably we had a stalemate, South reduced to 10 men just before the 90 was up. Despite the numerical advantage Hume simply didnt do enough, cracking goal out of nowhere from Souths max mikkola, Hume lifted slightly in an effort to get an equaliser but was mostly just some decent crosses, 2nd half of extra time they were almost resigned to defeat and did nothing.
South have now beaten Hume 1-0 a ridiculous 4 times this season with one more to play in the cup.
As for next weeks grand final, no Ross Archibald looks like a broken collarbone and no Andy Brennan (red card). The winner of tomorrows other semi between Avondale and Oakleigh will go in as favourite, South looking to avoid 3 grand final losses in a row.

Ugly football is part of the style these days but considering the follow on from Olympic and the crammed high pressure they've dealt with (Dockerty Cup, Wellington, Avondale) just glad they had enough in the tank to get over the line. Next few games gonna be real tough, especially with Brennan and Archibald out for the GF...

Wow what a game at O'Connor! O'Connor Knights went up 2-0 early in the O'Connor Derby, with Olympic pulling 1 back around 25 minutes into the first half. They equalised with just over 5 minutes to go in the first half, and they headed to the break back at square 1. O'Connor went 3-2 up with about 20 minutes left, and then almost immediately conceded a penalty to allow Olympic to draw level yet again. Then with just 5 minutes remaining, Olympic score a great goal to go up 4-3, and hold onto the lead until the final whistle, with the ball firmly in their court re: relegation. Yoogali must now win their home game tomorrow against Tuggeranong United (8th v 6th) to stay alive in the NPL, otherwise they will be the first team that has been promoted to the NPL under the current structure (beginning 2021) to be relegated.
