Adelaide United 2016/17 season thread

Could be almost a record low crowd tonight. Match delayed by an hour due to the heat, but only decided at 5.30 which is pathetic.

Now the suns gone down and the humidity is up. Couple that with a team who has well and truly fallen off the cliff and you don't get bums on seats.

3rd week in a row and 4th out of 5 that we've played in stupid conditions.

I heard the club actually asked for a postponement and the FFA knocked it back and opted for an hour delay.

And as always it's last minute, just like the corresponding fixture last year (when the W-League curtain raiser got shifted with about 45 minutes notice)

I got my game day email at 12.39am Saturday.

Horror night, got in the stadium at about 6.50 and wondered why I hadn't received a starting lineup email, looked on FB to find out the game was delayed. Handled so poorly, that they delay this game and not the Wellington one is just beyond belief. Then the game started........

 

[hey shorty]

3 weeks in extreme heat, that result was bound to happen. Defending takes concentration and these guys were stuffed.

Can't help but think if we were playing an eastern state side last night the game wouldn't have been delayed.

It would've been postponed for safety

It would've been postponed for safety

And advertised on Wednesday.

score predictions for tonight?

all I can say is at least we don't have to wear a horrific strip like that one the Jets have got on.

 

[hey shorty]

0-3

 

[DD#23]

they've been getting the odd ball across to where you might normally expect a striker to be...

 

[diligaf473]

Didn't see that coming

Korean import looks good.

 

[hey shorty]

Defended as a team like we have done so few times. Our players were hacked to death too

Now I see where the Roar keeper gets his behaviour from

That was some ending to the match today!

 

[hey shorty]

I was very close to the post match incident...... Ross might be in trouble.

He wasn't the one you alleged king hit someone in the tunnel?

If so he's in massive trouble.

 

[hey shorty]

If one of the allegations in the Redbacks thread is true he's in massive trouble.

I didn't see it, but his eyes when he walked down the tunnel......

 

[hey shorty]

He left our club in disgrace and rumour has it that he and his brother were due to return to the club next year to replace Amor.

I hope this puts paid to that

 

[SydCrow]

And off the bottom with a win in Gosford.

 

[hey shorty]

Baba looks the goods.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Baba looks the goods.

Helps having a striker who can score goals...

So apparently if Sydney hosts the FFA Cup final it'll either be at Allianz or Leichardt oval (almost certainly will be the latter if Adelaide make it)

What are the odds the FFA play the final at Marden if Adelaide get hosting rights

We played our last final at Hindmarsh

I know - tongue was firmly in cheek with the Marden comment

 

[hey shorty]

As if they're gonna let us play Sydney at home !!!

And the RBB turn feral once again
