[Zidane98]

Adelaide City vs United could be interesting in the round of 16 if it happens.....

 

[Owen_AFC97]

Round of 16 draw will be done Friday I have heard

 

[DardySingh360]

Went to the game in Perth last night, was quite enjoyable, but the Athletics stadium is pure shite, the stand was like 50metres from the pitch, very poor venue choice.

 

[polo9]

both games streamed again tonight

really confident we can get a positive result, hope Berisha bags a couple (Y)

 

[Speck]

Victory one up at half time, have dominated the game with most of possession.

 

[Zidane98]

6k at the wolves game. When the A League eventually expands wollongong should be 9m of the next 2 teams and another in QLD. 10 years down the track.

I started playing Junior Football (under 8's) for Tuggeranong United back in the 70's when they were known as Kambah United and wore Brown shirts with a Yellow and Brown stripe and played off and on until the late 80's when knee injuries took their toll. I'm really happy to see them having some success and now have the opportunity to play one of the biggest clubs in the country.

I hope this competition becomes a success and the 'fairytale' stories that make the FA Cup in England such a wonderful tournament can also happen hear and bring some much needed local coverage for the game at all levels. Perhaps United can start this with a win over Melbourne.

Good luck to United and I hope they can pull off another upset.

wow! great post. gives everyone a sense of real community spirit!

can you explain the club logo?

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Only thing that I'm not liking so far is the fact the draw isn't completely random.

Not sure about the club logo. Tuggeranong United is a merger between Kambah United and Wanniassa so perhaps it's an amalgamation of their logos. Perhaps because Tuggeranong is in a valley, perhaps they are mountains the footabll is flying over. I'm not sure.

Anyone have more crowd figures for the Round of 32 games? I heard the ones from Matchday 1, but after that I have no idea.

Adelaide United got 2.8k at Marden and City got 2.7k at Marden

But isn't it the same in the FA Cup.

 

[musha_13]

Nope - FA Cup is completely random. FFA Cup is "semi-random" ensuring there will be a certain number of a-league v state league matches, a-league v a-league matches & state league v state league matches - however which teams are drawn into each slot is random.

Attached is an article from the today's Canberra Times on Tuggeranong United.

Good luck United.

 

[sverik25]

So thoughts on the first Round of 16 Matchday?

Have to give kudos to the Bentleigh Greens on winning through to the Quarter Finals.

I'm barracking for them to keep going.

 

[Zidane98]

Hoping for Syd United, Sth Springvale, Adelaide Utd & Perth to go through on Tuesday.

FFA should then "randomly" draw Adelaide City vs Adelaide Utd in the 1/4 finals. That would be a huge game.

[Hail to the redskins]

Im back to continue my posting frenzy

After losing to Melbourne Knights in the 120th minute of the Docherty Cup, Sth Springvale are on the way to the Gold Coast to face QLD NPL Champs Sth Coast Sharks

There is a travelling party of about 100 going up from the Sth East Suburbs

Although a home game would've been best from a revenue perspective, gotta love a road trip

Woah man, slow down, you'll be accused of spamming soon

 

[peternorth]

foxsports just had a solid 5 min story on sydney croatia and sydney fc. very little doubt who the network want to win the cup.

graham arnold - sydney is the biggest and best city. have the best supporters.

a slap in the face of his former teams.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

NEBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also great to see so many empty blue seats in Western Sydney. The Sydney FC players must think it's a home game.
