3168 down at Valley Road. great crowd in the downpour.

i wonder what the crowd would be like if a Hobart team drew an a-league club and it could be played at Blundstone. i think that is the arrangement if it ever happened, while the Northern clubs would play in York(Aurora) Stadium.

 

[BobbyMorri]

this is the 2nd time a tasmanian club would have drawn Victory if they didnt lose in the previous round.

Glory might be out of the cup but we'll still whinge like * when the final is not put in Perth.

it's hard to agree or disagree because IF the tassie team beat bentleigh, there is NO guarantee the tassie ball would have been picked in the same spot as BLG.intending on going to the BLG game

Victory with a lucky run avoiding the professional clubs. Pen us in for a semi-final.

Same here, was really looking forward to a Wednesday night in front of the telly, then I wake up and they've played Tuesday, done the draw and I missed it all Excellent ties in Melbourne and Sydney next round.

So pretty much like 2015, excluding us in the quarter finals.

 

[BobbyMorri]

Bentleigh are one of the best npl sides going around. U are not playing a amateurs.

At this stage of the comp, I should beat them but if u got them earlier in the season, I reckon they would have beaten an a league side.

An interesting look at the FFA Cup and what it means to community clubs....

Melbourne Knights are in Elvis' blood. His father Jerko, after emigrating from Croatia, was a tireless fund-raiser for the club. Every Friday saw Jerko at the club for dinner and drinks with friends, an oasis for people a long way from home, trying to make a life in a far-away land.

For all the good work that Fox Sports do promoting this competition, the FFA and certain clubs aren't at all pulling their weight. With nothing else on tonight I would've been really likely to go watch 2 A-League teams with a lot of new players at a ground 20 minutes from my house... except I completely forgot it was on. I don't reckon there's been a word spoken or written in Melbourne to promote this match.

I'm watching the game through the Fox Sports app - the Punt Road/Gotch's Paddock side of the ground looks pretty good on tv... but Foxtel didn't pack any effects mikes for the coverage, and as well as the top level being closed (as is the norm for City games) I'm pretty sure the whole camera side of the ground might be closed as well.

Ridiculous overhead kick by Jacobsen.

 

[Firestarter]

Why am I forced to watch a Sydney derby...

 

[hey shorty]

Carney goes BANG. Burnsys bear with 2 assists.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Jesus NTS is s**t. I hope he doesn't come to Adelaide just by watching that challenge from him.

 

[hey shorty]

Cashill scores from the spot, Wanderers down by 3 and down to 10 as NTS sent off.

First time this season I've turned off all football by half time. I guess if we're down to the final 8 though, and we're down to the point that there's only two games at a time, that's probably a sign of a decent tournament so far.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Wanderers already seem to be that team who will be fighting for 6th spot this season.

Great crowd at Bentleigh.
