It's insane that it's still above 40 at 8pm. I would have gone but I'm still mad that they charge me an extra $3 or something on top of my season ticket to go tonight, because it's all reserved seating. Which also means I can't meet up with mates at the game. Screw paying a premium for that.

Yeah that's a bit of a joke, for a midweek fixture they should be half price. I just wonder how long victory can keep the energy up, at the moment they look up for it!

Laughing at Sydney FC
Forever and Ever
Great result Tuesday. Four and seven points over the next best teams in the comp, having played a game less.

Taking a pretty depleted squad over to Perth Friday, Adelaide's merciless hacking of Broich looks set to rule him out at least this week.

Then a home game against the Phoenix. We've only ever beaten Sydney FC more at Suncorp.

Should at least maintain that four point gap with the fixtures soon to pile up for Mariners, Wanderers and the Victards.

I'm rubbing my thighs and phwoaring real hard at the idea of this. Rogic is 10 times the player Nichols is, at least on a technical level. Only let down is that we'd only have him on loan, but that's neither here nor there really.

I've definitely done my share of greedy hand rubs at this point. I don't even care who he'd end up replacing, the youth policy from Tuesday night worked a treat and I'd just be excited to see him go about his business again.

Still would have him back at the Mariners in heartbeat. But I suspect we is too poor.

NZ knights were pretty bad. Even Gold Coast, Fury, the great Maribers horrible Anus and even Heart were nothing compared to the Knights.

Heart finally look like they may have a clue and Newy are flatter than a can of KB. 2 - 1 flatters the jest and kanta should be in the stands, shithouse reffing strikes again.

As a giants fan, this sounds right up my alley. A quick googling mentions there is a group that wants to reform the team and reenter it into the competition, but we might have to file that under "when misfud scores a goal"

An improving Adelaide at home versus a WSW which have a few personnel dramas at the moment.

Edit: And on GVE

The Tiser posted:


The Advertiser has learnt that Van Egmond will be officially told he has been dumped this morning with former Socceroo striker Clayton Zane to be handed the job in a caretaker capacity for the rest of the season.

In a further change, veteran striker Michael Bridges will take on the duel roles of assistant coach and player for the remainder of the season with Van Egmond's current assistant Craig Deans tipped to be offered the youth job.

It's understood Van Egmond is "off" with a number of players and sources within the club claim it's his lack of man-management skills rather than his tactical coaching nous that has led to his sacking.

That is pretty disgusting but I don't see why it should fall on WSW. Clearly a gang of cunts did a dogs act and possibly are WSW fans, but aside from banning AMOK members from a league games there really isn't a goiod response.

On one hand I'm excited by the prospect of having such a technically proficient player in the squad. but on the other I'm a little paranoid that he can't save the team like we need and the Big Blue game will end 0-0 with all players injured and the West Gate collapsing.

I haven't had solid internet for the past week or so but it rocked up yesterday. Thanks heaps man.

For content, I am so incredibly stoked that we've swapped Nichols for Rogic. Not that any amount of talent could have stopped King Carlos from destroying us.

Whilst I too believe Rogic is the second coming, I must warn he only started to put in solid shifts at the end of his time at the Mariners - and that was with his lord of fitness Andrew Clark.

One wonders how fit players are, and what their regimes are like in Scotlard, given that it is often pointed out that whilst our league isn't as technical as others, physical fitness seems to be a cut above most leagues.

What I'm trying to say is that don't be surprised that you may only get twenty minutes to begin with, and maybe a full match by the end of his loan.
