Adelaide United FC Thread - 2019 FFA Cup Champions (Kings of the Cup)

[hey shorty]

Will struggle to get 15k for it. Has to be and will be at Hindmarsh if in Adelaide.

We filled it last time, I reckon we can again

Don’t disagree more making the point that it would be pointless to play it at AO.

I'm not expecting us to get lucky and host the final. I'm expecting, whichever team wins tonight, to have their names on both the balls.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

World class FK that.

Wish we were playing the Wanderers but oh well.

Absolutely, should be reserved for the GF only.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

I ******* love Kaine Sheppard!!!

 

[hey shorty]

If we win he becomes a Reds legend

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Getting the home ground advantage is going to help us so much. It means we play three games in a row at home with no travel, while Sydney have two away games and one home game in the space of 11 days.

 

[Runnin Blue]

Sydney you say?

 

[Greasyrhys]

Glad we get to host the game, need to pack the place to the rafters

 

[chazwazza]

Anyone watch the draw to see who hosts the final? How was it done.
Did Lowy pull a canister out of his arse?

Kaine Sheppard (former Avondale and now Newcastle player) chose a ball out of the pool and it was us.

Got my tickets today, 10% off for members was cool, under $50 for 2 adults to the final is pretty good value.

Same here, good value. Heard there were a few issues with the ticketing.

Im a platinum member and my ‘same seat’ tickets were $100. Wont be happy if they’re not the same seats as we have a perfect spot.

Apparently you boys beat Victory 2-1 in Adelaide behind closed doors, a week after the Nix beat them 3-1 at AAMI. Hopefully that's a sign of things to come for both United and Victory

Good luck for the new season, expecting big things!

 

[hey shorty]

Likewise mate, and remember if things do go south...... theres always room back at Hindmarsh

 

[chazwazza]

Good to see GoGoMabil get it in the back of the net last night against Kuwait.

If things go so south that we fold, potentially might return. But for now, I head to Hindmarsh once a year to see a team from NZ

FTFY.

FTFY.

NYE 2013 wasn't too bad....


I don't expect to win but I go anyway haha.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

* off Baba.

 

[hey shorty]

**** off Baba.

Yep, patience is wearing very very thin.

We had 5 players under an injury cloud from last weeks friendly against Melbourne, only 2 have made the squad.

I'm sure you remember me wanting him out at the end of last season but the club decides to keep an injury prone player who has still yet to prove himself. It's beyond a joke. He plays some pre-season games (the last one he started) and then misses the first round of the season. We have 4 ******* strikers in the squad and none of them are starting.

2 of them are injured.

There were rumours Kurz wanted him gone when he arrived, think we can put those to bed now considering hes kept him around this long.

I was told earlier this week that he is desperate to play, and was even willing to push through off the bench but the coach overruled him. Only wants match day players capable of the full 90, even his subs.

Kitto and Blackwood in a similar boat, could have played 20 or 30 minutes at a pinch but Kurz didnt want to take the risk with 3 games in 11 days at the start of the year.
