I was happy to see Canberra Olympic go through. They weren't my team when I was living in Canberra, but when you've lived in minnow football areas like Canberra and Tassie (as I have) I love watching their representatives do well.

I wonder if anyone is feeding Mark Rudan. Christ he's lost some weight since last season! He'd be at, or possibly even under his playing weight at the moment.

5 penalties out of them too - that's an interesting little tid bit too I reckon. I doubt that happens too often.

Ahhhh. Magic of the cup!

The magic of the cup didn't inspire my club Melbourne victory to a good performance tonight, all that matters is that we get through I suppose. Great performance from the Brisbane strikers, they were unlucky not to go 2-0 up, imagine what could have been.

I don't want to imagine!

Went to Hume and it was good in terms of the event, but the game itself was putrid. Worst FFA Cup game I've been to actually. Which idiot decided to segregate the fans? There were as many Victory fans on the Hume side of the fence as there were in the Victory part of the ground anyway! Still the kebabs are great there.

[BobbyMorri]

Dover on the right is killing 'Port

Got the flags going, you can hear them clearly.

Gully up 2-1

 

[BobbyMorri]

Have played on Valley Road, Devonport.

Can confirm that it consistently rains.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Can't believe Benteigh Greens haven't scored! Hope Devonport can steal it, but I'm not sure how they're going to.

Commentators are massive flogs. Just call the game, no one care about your Roy and HG impression

no offence, but it is their thing. they become big when South Hobart hosted the Tuggers in the first FFA Cup live stream 3 years ago. they even travelled up to Sydney last year to do radio coverage for the Tassie listeners as they do all the games in Tassie. they very knowledgeable of the local game and are mostly Hobart based. i like it but heck, i am a local.

The bus must be bogged in the rain.

 

[giggler99]

Gully now 3-1 up

 

[giggler99]

lol shannah Cole is still on the WSW list?

 

[BobbyMorri]

FLARE!!!!!!!!!!!

at Devonport.......

 

[BobbyMorri]

Been a while since i have gone down to Valley Raod but when did they installed the scoreboard. and it is counting down hahaha.

This is still a great performance by Devonport. we are a small state with little football pedigree. and we are level after 85 mins with the champs of Victoria. we are in a golden age of Tassie football/

 

[BobbyMorri]

oh no, Niko G has popped his shoulder.

big loss losing the keeper.

 

[Andonis1997]

oh no, Niko G has popped his shoulder.

big loss losing the keeper.

And they score.

 

[BobbyMorri]

it has been coming. Niko G is a big fella, would have been interested to see if he could get a hand on that one.

to score, Devonport will need just slice of luck u feel.

 

[BobbyMorri]

looks doomed.

Oh well. No one has beaten a Tasmanian team in normal time yet in the FFA Cup.
