A-LEAGUE SEMI FINAL #2-Brisbane Roar v Melbourne Victory (SUN 5pm EST)

[Mr_Bojangles]

Many tipped this as a Grand Final before Ange upped stumps. Could be an upset but probably won't be.

Why do WSW get the Saturday game. Shouldn't first get the longer break if they win their semi ? (not saying it's a given)

Not sure. Seems very odd.

Wonder who will get the undeserved win?

Can see this going the same way as Central Coast v Adelaide from last week, Brisbane will get up but it should be relatively close.

No one, Adelaide isn't playing

We got one against Sydney last week. Would happily take another.

It would be the most "undeserved" win ever.

I can feel it already

 

[Richo is God]

I think we'll win 5-0

 

[Greasyrhys]

Brisbane to win, they'll be far fresher.

Maybe too fresh. It seems like an age since they played for anything.

To ensure the WSW will be a sell out. Then to give them hope of hosting a home grand final if Brisbane lose.

Back in the 2009-2010 season, Adelaide hosted a prelim and only got 8000 because they knew if they won, they would face Melbourne Victory away.

We have a big win in us I feel.

Can't stand it when there is poor pitches/poor crowds in this comp.

Thankfully WSW were great last night.

46,000 for the broncos on Friday, doubt it will be that today. I've got 6 mates coming down for the game

Is that cheat Gillett ref tonight?

The one that gifted you a final last season. No, no he isn't.

 

[Lockyer24]

Brissy the kings of cheat home penalty decisions..

 

[Dom PC]

Muscat is a terrible coach, all talk. All he does is moan and bitch - fits Melbourne's style I guess. He has just benefited off Ange's work.

 

[Jay C]

We should have scored from a number of chances in last 10 mins, but it was a disgraceful decision by the ref not to give a penalty.

Disappointing way to end both the ACL and A-League campaigns.

 

[eltrain]

Robbed like this twice in one week FFS. Disgraceful non call and good on Bozza for telling it like it is on Fox. We would probably have been run over the top of in ET anyway but we'll never find out now.

Just like Ange did all Mulvey's work I guess...

Really? Honestly? You guys are in the final next week because a ref didn't have the balls to make an obvious penalty decision. Everyone knows it but you.

 

[Dom PC]

50/50 decision. The player played for the penalty, he fell down like he had been shot. If he kept his feet you blokes probably score. That's the risk you take when you fall down so easily.
