Round 9 A-LEAGUE DISCUSSION THREAD (Starts Thurs)

[brucetiki]

And out comes the Sony Handicam and the early 2000's esque Channel 7 Sunday arvo score bug.

Full credit to Fox Sports for getting at least some pictures in what is apparently a full blackout in the area (bar the light towers)

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Khalfallah and Barbarouses have been so bad.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Nothing I hate more than a pitch that is far too quick

 

[bkozican]

Just take the shot

 

[Aussie_boy]

Shows what a good striker can do, Berisha too good

 

[hey shorty]

Mariners just watched that go right by them........

 

[pieman123]

Dannyyy boy

 

[hey shorty]

Fair hit that one from the angry ant.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Jesus Christ the Mariners are s**t.

 

[bkozican]

Complete downfall at the moment

 

[hey shorty]

Could be a few more in this, the gulf in class is huge.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Poor old Mariners, not surprising though. Very ordinary squad

 

[Mister B]

Who are the disrespectful campaigners with the trumpet playing the last post. Disgusting.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

9.CCM
10. Newcastle

Mark it down post round 27. Could be the other way around, too.

Would be quite surprised if you are wrong, Newcastle could end up OK but hard to see who they will replace out of the other sides

 

[hey shorty]

Moss is so far out of his depth, but his squad are worse.

The worst two squads in the league by a country mile. I will be VERY surprised if they don't finish 9th and 10th.

 

[pieman123]

Newcastles 1st 11 is ok

 

[hey shorty]

Newcastles 1st 11 is ok

They are but they're also very unfit. Jerry and Flores struggle to get the full 90 but on skill level they are miles above the Mariners

Central Coast are going to be representing Australia in the Asian Champions League in a few months. We'd be better off sending Bentleigh Greens.

Isn't there some doubt whether they can afford to participate (serious)? Also I think i'm right in saying they only have a qualification spot and at this rate they won't qualify

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Newcastles 1st 11 is ok

But worse than Victory, Adelaide, Sydney, Perth, Wellington, Brisbane, WSW and City.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Really hope we're not going to be the Wanderer's first victim of season 10 tomorrow night, even if they are due...

 

[polo9]

good win away. hopefully wsw can get something in adelaide now.

we now have 3 games in a row in melb, then a trip to geelong for the game against perth. no reason why we can't win all 4 and overtake them

 

[Zidane98]

Nah. Even in the last few years of the NSL crowds were 10-11,000. The novelty worse off with a few. The old days of a packed shed and all that are gone and not coming back. The A-League is a different beast.

With the great start to the season and hopefully a FFA Cup win I'd hope Glory capitalise on it and launch a marketing blitz to get crowds up. I'd love to see 15k regularly at NIB for you lot again.
