A-League Round 1 - We Finally Have An Opening!

Am i drunk or is the game tonight not being shown on fox sports?

It's on Kayo, so I assume it must be one of Fox sports dozens of channels

 

[Elmer_Judd]

No

The Metcalfe goal was an absolute peach, but yes otherwise it waa a really uninspiring and somewhat tedious game to watch (and frustrating due to the refs)

[apollo_creed]

So drunk then Burge13. Shock.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Didn't realise Mark Milligan had signed on with MacArthur

 

[giggler99]

What a save by Federici! That ball was moving like a bullet!

 

[99 Problems]

Really entertaining game this with a good atmosphere considering. Hopefully plenty more like it this season.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

What time is it?

GAME TIME BULL

 

[giggler99]

Looks like an unintentional Mark Milligan goal that

 

[giggler99]

I'm not that impressed with the Wanderers so far, long season yes but I expected more considering the noises they make during preseason. Looks like another season of all bark but no bite!

 

[giggler99]

Federici looks to good for this league! Has been superb tonight!

FT WSW 0 - 1 Macarthur

first match first win for the new boys!

 

[BackOnOurPerch]

That was an entertaining game.

 

[giggler99]

That was an entertaining game.

First Half was a little dull but the second half especially the last 30mins was exciting!

 

[giggler99]

Nabbout confirmed out for six week! Will be more like twelve weeks for him! Glade Victory got rid of him!

Andrew Nabbout ruled out for six weeks

Star Melbourne City recruit Andrew Nabbout will miss six weeks of action with the hamstring injury he suffered in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Brisbane.

Anyone watching the Tinpot/battle to avoid folding Derby ?
I am watching it if only for the possibility this might be one of the last times we see crowds at game in NSW for quite some time.

 

[gaskin]

I have it on but I am just glancing at it every now and again.

In years gone by, I would have not bothered with this fizzer of a fixture, but cannot help but feel we need to support the A League more than ever (assuming that Kayo online stream on a Andriod TV counts in the ratings)

Fans have rightly or wrongly potted the FFA and Fox Sports (which is true), but it's also dependant in supporters of the HAL and game in general to keep watching it. Starting to think more midweek night fixtures should be the way to go in future in order to boost ratings and interest (lot of other stuff/sports happening on the weekends at the moment)

Really pisses me off how the Big Bash League (something I don't really care for at all) doing so well compared to the A League.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

What a Kuol goal for the Mariners.

Also lol, at the back firing cannon. I thought it was a flare at first. Bit stupid by CCM really.

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

Newcastle defence looked amateur on goal replay.

 

[gaskin]

A-League defenders looking amateur when conceding? Who'd have thunk it?

Im not sure how well the bbl is really going since they changed to the home and away fixture and reduced the games on fta. I am curious as how the actual fan numbers are within the bbl, not just the casual observers (whats the merchandise sales and membership like?).

Fans should watch if they are interested in supporting the league, this season especially as it is essentially a reboot. I am also intereted how the APL construct and promote the league.

Kayo did refuse to give the streaming numbers to rugby Australia in order to deter nine from signing the deal. It will be interesting to see how the broadcast discussions end up.
