Are most people going to the Wolves v NQ game at 5:15pm as well? I would imagine so, considering the tickets are for the two games.

Bugger, forcast is for rain tonight (40% at 8pm and 60% at 11pm). Good to see from the newspaper todaty that 14K tickets are already sold.

Buttshire could have a start as Dadi's replacement.

Can anyone tell me what kind of prospect Million Buttshire is? What kind of forward role does he play?

He's got one heck of a unique name, that's for sure. Go the Buttshiner!

i thought it was tomorrow at 3pm?

It is.



Should I survive working until ~4am, and should my iPhone have enough battery, people not going to Mandurah might be able to see some updates at www.twitter.com/GloryLive

hmm this iphone sounds like a great product - needing to be recharged before going out to sporting events

Not long left till season proper people.
but when you factor in our first home game is in round 3 or something it kinda sucks.
still we should badger our friends to come down so we get a massive crowd.

Take my word for it dave, twitter is a really good medium for live coverage, but you need more than one person doing it - that been my experience anyway...

Really looking forward to the next trial...8-[

Great job guys, I was viewing updates from both streams.

Next time if there are multiple people doing updates it would be great to get them together to alternate tweets for more regular updates.

This time the updates were pretty much the same, except where either Harnwell or Sterjovski scored... and then where either Harnwell or David Mitchell were stretchered off...

Mile Sterjovski urges A-League players to seek pre-World Cup loan deal
By Adrian Warren
July 20, 2009 Mile Sterjovski says even those who don't fancy their chances of making Australia's World Cup squad should consider a loan stint overseas after the A-League season.

The domestic competition is scheduled to finish on March 20, almost three months before the start of the World Cup in South Africa.

Sterjovski, who has returned to Australia to play for Perth Glory, said he would definitely look to go on loan in that period berfore the World Cup, though he hadn't given much thought yet to where he would play.

"If you want to be part of the World Cup squad you've got to think about those things and you have to go out and play until the World Cup and play regular football," Sterjovski told reporters in Sydney.

"I think that's very important, even for players who might not think they are in the running to be in the World Cup squad, I think they should even look at going out on loan until then."

Sterjovski said he had made a financial sacrifice to return to Australia.

"Financially in Europe, there's much more money, even in Asia there's much more money," Sterjovski said.

"But you have to make these sort of decisions to find out what's best for yourself for the future and I've never made a decision based on money in my career and I have put the Socceroos ahead of anything."

Sterjovski was in Sydney for the announcement of the sponsorship of the Young Footballer of the Year Award by the NAB.

Several of Australia's most promising young players were present, including Gold Coast United striker Tahj Minniecon, who has just recovered from a dose of swine flu.

Minniecon will journey to South America later this week for a Young Socceroos tour.

"I'm feeling good and I will definitely be on the plane on Wednesday," Minniecon said.

While his club wanted him to stay at home, Minniecon said he would have been disappointed not to play for the Young Socceroos as he was always excited to play for his country.

The exciting attacker revealed there had been no sympathy among his team mates after he came down with swine flu.

"There was a lot more teasing than anything else," Minniecon said.
