[Redalert]

Central Coast were great against Brisbane last week, I'd back them to go through given they're at home.

 

[Greasyrhys]

First time since 2006 that we're playing a finals match outside SA & Victoria.

We've never won a final away from home, & our record in Gosford is poor, so quite a few things against us.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Mariners were very ordinary last night, which probably means they will beat us on Saturday , with Matt Simon scoring a hattrick, similar to Archie Thompson who only ever looks threatening against us. Should be a good game though

 

[Greasyrhys]

Oh no, looks like our opponents have a 12th man, the same ref that crucified us:

He didn't crucify us specifically but he crucified the whole match, has no idea how to take control, all he does is dish out completely needless cards (not talking about Elrich either)

* that! This campaigner screwed us out of 2nd place (or at least a higher spot than 6th).
How he's allowed to officiate in the finals is mindblowing.

 

[Crows_United_FC]

I'll go with 2-0 to the Reds! Goals from Fabio and Chelo.
COYR!!!

 

[Greasyrhys]

**** that! This **** screwed us out of 2nd place (or at least a higher spot than 6th).

Exactly, he shouldn't be allowed to officiate this game, let alone any final. Whoever picked him to do our game has made a huge mistake...

 

[Redalert]

Entertaining finish, Ben Williams just seems to hate Adelaide though

 

[Greasyrhys]

There is absolutely NO joy of domination possession if we can't convert it into goals! Again we did sweet f*** all with it, which must be extremely frustrating for us fans.

Looks like it'll be a Roar v Wanderers decider...

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Bit violent in the end Adelaide

Disgraceful and disrespectful really.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Ben Williams to United it seemingly what Jarred Gillett is for us it seems. Got a good foundation to work for next season United.

Which clubs does Williams actually like? He sure as hell doesn't like mine.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Disgraceful and disrespectful really.

Yeah because no one apart from Adelaide gets frustrated losing a final

 

[tigs2010]

Just loves some "me" time. Doesn't matter who it's against, just loves to get involved in the result.

 

[tigs2010]

I was only joking. Sterjovski was the one that really started the push and shove.

Yeah, that.

Aint that the truth

The A-Leagues very own Razor Ray

Excellent comparison.
