Didn't see it but from Muscat's press conference it sounds like he tried to sub himself on.

Because Ben couldn't afford another yellow card they sat him on the bench for the night.
Late in the game he was getting desperate to get on the park. Even jokingly went to the 4th official with a sheet of paper telling him we wanted to make a change and he was coming on. Then he picked up the reserve keeper's gloves and told Kev he was prepared to swap with Thomas in order to get out there. Funny s**t.

The whole finals system is a farce in that we can lose the next game and it's curtains. Despite being the best team of the year and finishing top.
We were nearly 20 points clear of sixth place yet they still have essentially an equal shot at the championship as we do.

yeah but we get a week of and straight to the semi and essentially we would have to have played that semi to make the grand final anyway.
I agree with sixth (really seventh this season) has a shot at still winning the Grand Final.
top six in a ten team League is ridiculous always has been.

Are yellow cards rescinded going into finals? Wouldn't want FBK to potentially miss the final.

Finishing top still offers the weeks rest and home finals, including grand final provided you win your semi. Wellington losing to Sydney obviously cost them 2nd place, and instead of having the week off they can now be eliminated next week. Big difference.
But a 10 team competition should really only have a final 4. It's a absolute joke you can finish 6th in a 10 team comp and play finals.

The yellow cards start again. That's why Ben was rested. One more in the game last night and he would have missed the semi-final.

I so gotta watch the replay when I can.
Agree 100% The final four system worked well before expansion, I can get my head around you finish in the bottom half of the ladder and qualify for Finals

Meanwhile Kevin Muscat has become the first person to win Hyundai A-League silverware as both a player & coach.

Not sure if anyone else is interested but Traore's apparently now at Basel, having moved from his Portuguese club for 1.5 million euros. Have to say that I'm happy to see him kick on with his career after leaving Victory.

I'll never forget that goal he scored last season or the season before - I can't remember, but was sitting directly being it, a curling jet into the top corner. Was rediculous
This one?
I got so confused looking for highlights on youtube, theres another bloke with exactly the same name playing for Barca B

As one who doubted Muscat would cut it as a coach I must say kudos to him for a job well done. Particularly the off season recruiting which set things up. Very Fergusonish.
