A League Round 6

[SloaneysDanger]

Lol Adelaide.

 

[hey shorty]

Warland panicking here, might need the early change

 

[hey shorty]

From a pen to a sitter missed lol

 

[kaiserchief13]

What a miss - Newcastle player can't score in empty net from 2 metres away

 

[hey shorty]

Just don't get hurt Baba.

Oh and score a goal or 2

 

[Aussie_boy]

Just because someone yells shoot from the crowd doesn't mean you have to. Especially from 40 yards out.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

The losses don't even hurt because with all the players out I just expect it.

Hurts all the same to me.

Top 3 going to be very difficult now.

It's always much easier for me to take losses when I fully expect them. We just don't look like winning against anyone right now.

Another season where we are going to struggle to score goals I suspect unless we get luck with injuries for the rest of the season.

 

[hey shorty]

I never expect to lose.

We will score goals, Absalonsen putting the ball on Babas head will help wonders. I'm more concerned our defence won't recover in time.

 

[hey shorty]

Leroy George, what a name.

Pretty handy player too

 

[Andonis1997]

Galloway and Rossi come back in, Keegan Smith still in goals.

Crowd disappointing

EDIT: Fox has been playing instead of Galloway this whole time.. Woops.

 

[Andonis1997]

Paracki! Beautiful!

 

[Andonis1997]

WE WANT 6! WE WANT 6!

 

[Lethality]

Nice game. Good to see Finkler back to his best. White outfit is an inspired choice too, resembling the national side.

 

[perthblue]

I ****ing hate VAR, and not because it has cost Glory so many goals (OK partially because of that) but if you can't do it without such a huge delay then don't ****ing bother. I've seen this in the Bundesliga as well. i thought the point of it was to correct absolute howlers while not compromising the flow of the game too much, not to ****ing analyse 50/50 decisions from a thousand different angles for 5 minutes.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Who's idea was it to push the 5pm games back 7pm.

 

[TheKanga]

We look pretty good so far.

 

[nobbyiscool]

That was a pretty damn fun match to watch.

Still, it's one of few occasions that I won't bag City for their shitty crowds. 7pm on a Sunday night when tomorrow is a school/work day is just a ****ing rubbish time to play football. 5pm is already shit, but this was ridiculous.

 

[TheKanga]

Crowds were down across the board this week.

CCM got 7k which is abit lower than you would expect on a Friday night.
Adelaide Utd got 8k normally always get 10k+
Victory got 18k which is still good but they normally are 20k+
Wellington only got 6k
City got 7k but as mentioned a school night.

 

[hey shorty]

Saturday arvo games always seem to draw low crowds in Adelaide regardless of the sport. Was a disappointing weekend attendance wise

If Wellington got 6k I would love to know where they were sitting, on Tee Vee it looked like the ground was empty bar a splattering of fans. Abysmal turnout and no way was there 6k.

Should never been granted an extension on their licence, it's a joke having to travel over there.

Could have been more fans on the other side/not in camera view.
The stadium is to big for them.

I like Wellington and i really don't want to see them fail.
However they do need more locals to support them.

There was one shot zooming up the ground towards the visiting keeper and from the halfway line the seats were empty, I couldn't believe it

I have nothing personal against Wellington it's just that I don't agree with them playing in the A League. In all honesty their crowds have been garbage from day one, I will admit though they seem to have a core group of rusted on supporters,

Unless their support greatly improves I can't see them lasting, I'm sure as part of their extension this time around they assured FFA that the crowds will markedly improve, as it really doesn't look good on the telly. I don't know how they survive financially

 

[Punt Road Feral]

Wellington started off alright, I reckon it their first four seasons they used to get 10k plus crowds relatively regularly with a reasonable atmosphere to go with it.

At least then they offered something.

Now days it's like they are over it...funny how almost 40k fans pack the cake tin on the Saturday and then the day after no one gives a hoot.
