A-League thread

[mightytiges]

The A-league would be already averaging crowds on par with the NRL despite being only 7 years old  . Another 40k at Etihad tonight.

Anyway Victory will be looking for a new coach soon. Mehmet has no idea given the strikepower he has at his disposal. He's too old school and predictable for modern soccer where you need to play and share the ball at teammates feet and spread the play quickly to open up and get behind the opposition defence.

Soccer sucks.

Then don't watch it or comment in a soccer thread. No one is forcing anyone to.

Just sharing what I thought was a valid opinion.

We are still allowed to have opinions here I hope, or is this the 'Everything is Great' Pub?

This is still the pub to drink at. Other pubs are still stuffing poo


and go the Gunners!

I actually watched the game last night becasue there was nothing else on and I cannot belive after 90 + minutes there was no score

Yep Brisbane are so far ahead of the rest at the moment in terms of gamestyle it isn't funny. Victory plays them next weekend. At least we finally scored and won -1 over Wellington today. Up into the top 4.

By the way if anyone thinks AFL umpiring has gone to the dogs then check out Soccer linesmen  . Archie Thompson was 5m onside but was called offside which cost Melbourne a goal and then we had an offside called to a throw-in  .

Probably know I don't like it, but will watch anything at top level!
watching Victory v Brisbane and you could understandably guess from that first half why I think the game is so Feffen r00ted.
Gais of the most extreme! not a bad game though even if it's all over now.
Should chuck it in with the international rules series. Then they could all biatch and dive.

The referee last night won't be officiating at an A-league game for a long while. He totally wrecked a good game. The first red was there but the second was a yellow card at best. It turned the 2nd half into a farce with Brisbane passing the ball around the box lost for ideas and the Victory parking the bus in the corridor and just hanging on. At the end it was like a Richmond game with all the supporters getting stuck into the ref as he walked off lol.

Anyway the few positives were Victory will now have gained a fair bit of confidence from last night and won't hold any fears about Brisbane who were ordinary against 9-men. The kid Thomas who replaced Covic in goal played a blinder coming off the pine while Kewell played his best game so far.

Another draw for the Victory although when the opposition (Mariners) has 17 shots to 3 you can't complain about getting a point  . At least we stil had 11 men on the park for the full 90 mins this week

Durakovic looks like he's aiming for worst coach in the A-league award. 2-0 up against 10 men and still walk away with another draw  .

I like Mehmet but he should never have gotten a job as the head coach either at A League or even VPL level. Good assistant is Mehmet.

I actually agree Ramps. After Merrick, Victory needed a modern coach who understands the modern game. Mehmet just doesn't have a clue how to use the squad at his disposal. He brought Solorzano down from Brisbane who was one of the top scorers and at least has some pace but just refuses to play him.

Why didn't they make Ned Zelic coach?
