A-League thread

Victory   2
Adelaide 2

Ripped off by a blind linesman who couldn't see Agostino was 3m offside  when we were playing all over them but couldn't score in the first half. Still a gutsy performance to come back from 0-2 down to get a draw. Best the Victory has played for 10 weeks by a mile.

Still not good enough - saeson over isn't it.

Wonder if the likes of Storm and the Cats will come back to the pack in the manner of the wosy boys came.

Doubt it and hope not, the Storm Cats double is 12/1 - good odds me thinks.

Sorry this is the Victory thread isn't it 

[mightytiges]

You would say the season is over but there's still a remote chance if they play like they did for most of last night's game. The Victory need to win next week. Results in other games went their way so they are now 5 points (were 6 points)behind 4th placed Newcastle who they play at the Dome next Sunday with 5 rounds to go before the finals.

Adelaide 1 - 2 Central Coast
Queensland 1 - 1 Wellington
Sydney 2 - 4 Perth 

All the results from the other games this weekend have gone Victory's way so it's up to Victory to beat Newcastle tomorrow.

[mightytiges]

Well the season is offically over for the Victory. Lost 1-3 after they scored first.

The same story of having more possession, missing gettable chances and then leaking at the back. Merrick will be lucky to keep his job. He should too be under pressure after again substituting Patafta early when the game was still in the balance and Melbourne needed to win  .

And thanks to the FFA's stupid idea of having the premiers from the previous A-league season in the Asian club championship, Australia will again have 2 dud teams in that comp.

The ultimate premiership hangover  . Rumour has it that Fred could be coming back from the States next year.

Nah the Victory didn't choke when they made the finals lol.

[Ramps]

Melbourne Victory should sign Kevin Nelson  

[Ramps]

Nah the Victory didn't choke when they made the finals lol.

the Glen Waverley RSL could make the A League finals. Making the finals in an 8 team competition is nothing to be proud of. Winning a supposed national championship without the likes of a South or a Marconi or an Adelaide City or a Melbourne Knights - thats also farcical. FIFA should do something about this farce. They really should.

LOL

And Glen Waverley RSL could almost attract the same size crowds that most of those NSL clubs did each week in the NSL .

They could always bring back the old riot derbies lol.
Footscray JUST vs Melbourne (Croatia) Knights
South or Heidelberg vs Preston Makedonia

[Ramps]

Preston are Skopjeans not Macedonians. Heidelberg are the Macedonians coz there a Greek club who represent the Macedonians. South represent the rest of the Greek community and the world at large. We are a global club. We even got to Brazil lol.


As for crowds lol ... i just had a look, without the Victory the A League is nowhere in terms of crowds, crowds of 9000 to 11000 people. Joke for 1 city teams. South in the old days used to average 8000 people...in a non marketed comp lol.

Now if we are talking about jokes of a competition then one is that world club championship.
