Will the glory days come back for Blacktown City FC? Shown here after the 2007 Grand Final victory is current coach Aytek Genc and skipper Luke Roodenburg who has been in great form for the club
Despite missing two penalties, Blacktown City FC showed they will be one of the leading teams in the NSW Premier League this season after overcoming Manly United FC 2-0 at Cromer Park on Sunday night.
Once again Tolgay Ozbey was the chief destroyer, scoring both goals to continue his amazing habit of finding the back of the net against the men from the northern beaches.

He displayed his intent after just 4’ minutes hitting the crossbar and caused the Manly defence constant headaches with his blinding pace.

A cagey first-half saw both teams have ample opportunities to score before Ozbey was brought down inside the area on the stroke of half-time by Pascal Julliard.

Ozbey dusted himself off but lost his nerve, blazing his spot kick well over the crossbar, which the crowd in the Lucas Neill stand thoroughly enjoyed.

They were cheering again after 63’ minutes when Blacktown missed a second chance from 12-yards, with Brad Swancott denying Jordan Simpson with a smart save to his right.

The away side finally troubled the scorers with just 12’ minutes remaining with that man Ozbey beating Swancott after beating the offside trap.

In injury time, the one time Sydney FC marksman bagged his second, after Julliard gave him too much room at the near post.

A relieved Aytek Genc was happy to walk away with the three points:

“It was a difficult game……they (Manly) had a few guys out so we caught them at a good time,’’ the Blacktown City FC coach said.

“We are lucky to have a match winner in Tolgay...we battled at times but other times we dominated.

“To get three points on the road is great…we also have a few guys to come back and can play much better, it is a good position to be in.’’

His opposite Phil Moss pointed to Luke Walker’s dismissal after 63’ minutes after he bundled over Ozbey in the box as the turning point:

“It doesn’t help playing with ten men for the last half an hour, and that is two weeks in a row we have done that,’’ he said.

“I will have to look at the challenge on the video but regardless it didn’t help our cause.

“Even though they missed two penalties I honestly think we were the better side.

“The score line flattered them, but that’s football.”

In the grade-20 clash Manly United FC won 2-1 thanks to goals from Robbie Cattanach and Adam Foti.

hahahaha go get your own topic you sydney united boys. this is for blacktown city:-$ :-$









:d :d

The boys will step up a gear this weekend. I'm confident of the win aswell.

meh a 4-1 win over rockdale, and in cruise control, and im fairly confident of the win at belmore.

That win against Sutherland is nothing considering the players they lost over the off season.

ask sutherland what happened to them bro

I don't wanna know what Olympic like to try and do to other teams. Keep it to yourself mate:lol:

hahahaha wait till united cop the product on saturday night hahahah

Maybe Olympic fans pay less because the product is worth less than other clubs.

olympic charging $100 season pass

other clubs charging $120 olympic always leading the way

Under 16's are free at every game in the NSWPL so don't make it out as if it's some great thing because Olympic are doing it. They are doing it because they have to otherwise they would be charging for Under16's

olympic under 16 is free

its $12 for an adult.
i think it was $6 for a concession/ child

Good to hear that the crowd was there. what were the Ticket prices??? I'll hopefully be at the next game, but it just depends on my Baby and of course cash flow.

mltzer ill be honest blakctown has put a very good side tigether at the moment in my view will finish third.

But i still hate blacktown bastards cant wait to give it to u guys

just got back from the game.
we won 1-0.
Luke roodenburg got our goal. paul karbon was sent off in about the 70th minute. so we had to hold on.
all in all it was a good result. i still think we need to improve if we are to make the finals. we work good off the ball for each other, its just that we need that edge.
the crowd was good. the stand was about three quaters full. so that was good to see.

Yea, I took a look at it before...
It seems its still in a testing phase, and the flash gave me the wrong link for the forum :lol:

That is the worst website I have ever seen, u skippy wearied have bucklies if u want to mix it with Olympic

didnt u know mate. theres a revolution going on here hahah
nah its good to finally have a website running

Blacktown City's website is back online. It now has a forum added for those interested.

LOL, um ok you keep telling yourself that, but lets face it a-league is a plastic franchise, and your on that bandwagon.

As for Sydney United, if it spends rest of its years in the State League, im happy and content with that...

Ah yes another believer in the A-League being a plastic comp.

get over yourself I believe in the ethos of Football. i'm against the games being organised by TV Scheduling, I'm against the over exagerated and unecessary cost of supporter gear, I'm against the heavy handed and unnecessary limitation impossed on Active supporters, I believe in the creation of universal ticketting prices to ensure everyone can afford to see Football and all seating should be General admmition.
there are plenty more reasons but I CBF listing them all for you.

Supporting a team in the A-League doesn't mean one is Plastic it just means you support a team in the National League.

Sydney United will never get that chance again because of the Cultural conections to Croatia, Which is a shame since they have held such a prominate place in Australian Football Culture.

whether it was a trial match or not. it was a good result for blacktown. looks like its going to be a promising season

Rocknerd, question - how are you against modern football if your a supporter of the Jets ??

it was a trial match wait for the season were the pumping will come

Happy to just find out that Blacktown City FC beat Sydney Olympic 1-0 in a friendly.

prediction will finish 7th

genc has come back
as for players: mirko jurilj
adam biddle
mitchell long, who looked rather good when i watched penrith play
jordan simpson (tyler simpsons brother)
Luke roodenburg

they are basically the new signings or returning players.

WHO HAS BALCKTOWN SIGNED SO FAR?

Bad start to the pre season games with a loss to Spirit FC (Super League club) going down 4-2 with Chris Bedzo scoring both of BCFC goals. Hopefully we will do better this week at United.
