A-League 2013-14 match thread

CCM are 2 nil up with 6 odd minutes to play.

[EdDog]

I don't know if I want Sydney to win or not.

Playing the Tards away, likely at Shitihad would be tough, but if we won that the semi would be against Wanderers.

Conversely, if we're 6th we play CCM, then Roar in the Semi.

I'd go to Melbourne fo sho.

And it's 1-1 at HT in the absolute snore-fest that is SFC v PG.

Say what you want our performance yesterday, it was 10x better than what I just witnessed.

[sevengoals]

Looks like it's Melbourne.

[sevengoals]

Ok, scratch that.

Late, late, goal by Sydney so it's the CCM next week.

[Bruuuuuuuuce]

That honestly sums up our luck hahahaha.

If we somehow win next week we now have Brisbane instead of Western Sydney.

Jesus Christ.

[EdDog]

So easier game first up and then another trip to Suncorp!

No easy games in the finals!

Who's coming to Gosford???

[Nash]

Ok, scratch that.

Late, late, goal by Sydney so it's the CCM next week.

I had my laptop open ready to click 'confirm payment' for flights to Melbourne, whilst my mate sitting next to me had his laptop open ready to click 'confirm payment' for our accommodation..

with 15 seconds of scheduled time to go, that all changed! we both just looked at each other with disappointment on our faces lol.

and to make it worse, I can't travel to Gosford so I'm staying behind

still, was a quality goal to end a boring arse match!

Sorry you can't get to Gosford, but good story.

Finkler
Amazing.

peep,peep, peep.

All over.
Melbourne win
Sydney loose.

[Adam]

What a shocking crowd ...

[EdDog]

Poor crowd - wouldn't have even filled AAMI.

Great end-to-end game though.

MV look out on their feet from about 30 minutes onwards. Really brought Sydney into the game.

I think we're going to see CCM sit very deep against us tomorrow.

[shinAUFC]

Interesting, 10 minutes left in a semi final and Ono kicks the ball away into the goal after the whistle was blown clearly to waste time.

Ono was already on a yellow but did not receive a second yellow.

The precedent was set earlier this season with Isiais getting a second yellow kicking the ball away even though a ball boy was giving the throw in taker a ball.

So obviously marquees and WSW are above the rules of us peasants, we knew this already.

[EdDog]

Letter of the law should have been a yellow. IMO it's soft but as you mention, we copped one earlier in the year so it's double standards like this that really shit me.
