Tongues posted:Has there ever been a successful soccer team that wears all green? I'm sure there's heaps but my brain is lovely at the moment. Not all green that I can think of. Why the hell they went with all green I have no idea, as the black / white strip was actually not bad. Newy played a possession game, and it's fine to have the ball unless you do gently caress all with it. They'd get it close to the front then were shut down pretty effective by Sydney - something FC haven't done for a while now. Both sides very scrappy, which is to be expected with mistiming the rule not the exception. Score was an accurate result as Sydney actually looked dangerous on the counter tonight. Also Kudos to the Cove. Good effort there boys. The SBS commentator is piss, I want my Simon / Slater combo dammit but could kinda understand why SBS don't want his awesomeness behind the mike. Be interesting to see the ratings. I watched the Fox coverage, the "New Mel" didn't really cut it for me, although I may be still suffering Mel withdrawal. Hopefully Harper commentates the Mariners match, as now Matt Simon is back we may get Spawning Salmon II.

Yeah the commentary was pretty boring, kinda felt like they had run out of things to talk about - just like in AFL when the giants or Dees are getting destroyed. Those two blokes with Craig Foster looked nervous as hell as pundits, I guess they'll get used to it as they end up on tv more And at least there's no Bosnich so far on SBS!

Enjoyed the game very much. Despite the lucky goals we played pretty well. Really glad to have Bojic, hopefully our defense won't be as slow and leaky as it was last season. Also I thought Nicky Carle did alright, made some good tackles.

In other news Osiek has been sacked. Hopefully Ange/Poppa take over, disrupting their clubs seasons and winding up their paranoid fanbases.

dj_pain posted:If the RBB/North Terrace weren't paranoid already. Arnie wants in apparently. Don't think he will get it though, as Arnie I didn't quite work out. Typical scrappy round one match between Mariners and WSW. Bad timing, poor passing, comical Caravella like defending, but there were flashes of brilliance and two decent goals. Mariners probably dominated the majority, but WSW dominated the last ten as the Mariners clocked off a bit. Also WSW dominance coincided with Ono's introduction - totally different team with him. Hersi seems to have lost a yard of pace which is interesting, he's still worth poaching though. WSW will be a force again. Flores looks of old, and this is pleasing. Mariners defence was nervous to say the least, but hey again early days. Pasfield actually exceeded expectations, but neither keeper had a massively busy night. RBB are credit to league and sung well, but it's also the biggest Yellow army contingent I think in years so signs look promising. We'll crack over 10k average this year, and in a Rugby League mad town that's absolutely amazing. Also only one flare in the RBB away group all night. I'd like to think they are getting the message so maybe they can have nice things. Also forgive my ignorance but why do WSW care about what Tards do?

But when you come up against a top seeded team in the world cup you need to know your poo poo. Guus did, and we progressed. Verbeek, as good as he was hosed up against Germany and we got eliminated. Arnie couldn't coach Australia to success with a better team in the Asian Cup. What I'm saying is we better not get Arnie or Farina again.

LordPants posted:What I'm saying is we better not get Arnie or Farina again. I agree, I think Arnie would love too but I think his record will always be held against him, no matter how good he goes at A-league or even at an overseas club. In fact it'd take Ange and Poppa to turn it down, and there be no suitable overseas coach before they even begin to consider him. Edit: Also thanks guys for the active support update. My big problem is the flare issue, if the fuckers stop ripping them then maybe the cops would back off. Outside Victory and WSW, most other supporter groups seem (apart from Adelaide IIRC they were dealing with Nazi's) to not have these problems. The Shed and Cove go alright and I can't remember the last "gently caress security drama" outside of the normal individual security shithead incident that pops up time to time.

Ho do you manage to lose 3-1 against 9 men. Glory should be ashamed. Also a good win for the roar, never in doubt.

Losing Boogard isn't that much of a disadvantage. Solid start for us, hopefully we won't get all our players suspended moving forwards though. quote:So, a little late, but loving hell the Melbourne derby was a poo poo game. Fell asleep watching that poo poo. Victory don't look like title contenders based on that performance, but no doubt they'll rebound to thrash us or something. Melbourne Heart were... well, Melbourne Heart. I think that was the first Melbourne derby to really disappoint me.

Victory won't play like title contenders for as long as Milligan is out. He's the only player that we can't replace, no matter how insanely much Broxham has improved over the last year.

I think Adelaide cops a fine if you get 2 players sent off for "being excessively naughty" or something. If they can not get sent off all the time, Adelaide actually looked good and may make the finals nicely. Didn't see the end of Nux vs Roar, but both sides looked a bit better than last year. In hindsight, it's probably been one of the better opening rounds, snore fest at Etitard notwithstanding.

Victory fan checking in here. My brother's a part of the North Terrace active fan group and is furious about the changes being forced on them. Some of his mates have been members since the club's inauguration and have lost their seats to a plastic tarp.

Yeah, seeing the treatment they're being given makes me glad I never properly got involved in the active support. It's pretty disgraceful imo.

Yeah, it's gonna take us a little while to get used to playing without Rojas I reckon. Still, Milligan was the major difference between us playing well and playing terribly last season, so hopefully that was what was missing in the derby.

True. Did Melbourne forget what colour blue they normally wear? They look like they're wearing something sydney should have for an away shirt. E: ref is losing control of this very quickly.
