Why didn't they make Ned Zelic coach?
Too much of an enigma to be a coach.

Durakovic survives for another week thanks to Hernandez. I can't believe Victory is now 3rd on the ladder  :o after yesterday's win.

Harry was rested by the coach (who's clearly clueless on so many levels it seems  ;D) even though Harry wanted to play

But agree was surprised there was only 38k there, though they reckon the tickets were very expensive

Notice also that they bought the retractable stands in to get people closer to the action

Crowd was rubbish because the sport on was poo.

They exhibition games with high-profile overseas players/teams use to be good in the old NSL days when we were in little Oceania and hadn't made a WC in 20 years but now they are just a nuisance and achieve nothing being held midseason of the A-league. Just a money making exercise for the promoters who were charging something like $90+ for tickets while the crowd wasn't a normal Victory crowd given the cheer squads (or active supporters as they call them in soccer) were prevented from being there for some strange reason.

They weren't charged $90 to go and Sydney is more the place for one-off celebrity exhibition events where it's more important to be seen in the presence of a sporting celebrity than watching the actual sport  :whistle. They seem to only turn up to these unlike Melbournians who are regular weekly sports goers. Sydney FC is lucky to get 10-12k normally. Also Beckham wasn't far off his prime 4 years ago when he was still getting games for England and there was still plenty of global hype around him having just left Real Madrid for LA. He's 36 now and nearing retirement. May sound like excuses but I know a few Victory fans who like me couldn't have cared less about it.

Textbook excuse would be blaming the crappy weather for the 16k crowd on Saturday night rather than the form or rather lack of it of the team ;).


... the coach (who's clearly clueless on so many levels it seems  ;D)
1-0 up with 20 mins to go and he brings on a attacking midfielder for a defensive one. Yep WP he's clueless!
