Australian A League official thread

[Galstonian Oranje]

League winners but not the champions yet.

Top 6 teams into the play offs. Top 2 teams seeded into semis with home advantage.

 

[Johnny Fontane]

Never a pen, didn’t think it was in real time and I still don’t to be honest - keeper connects with the player, rather than player with keeper.

Keeper couldn't possibly have known the guy was there, he was looking at the ball.

Correct, doesn’t mean he was fouled though because he’s the one that initiated the contact.

 

[Coopertrueblue]

Cracking game so far, 1-0 Sydney in the Derby

Great atmosphere aswell

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

A 3-0 win for Brisbane Roar over new league winners Melbourne City this morning. An example of league winners performances dipping after the celebrations

 

[Main Stand]

The Roar v Perth coming up, haven’t watched an Aussie game in a week.

Get the goals in.

 

[Main Stand]

2-1 WSW, absolute beezer from Dorrans.

Left footed volley from 16 yards out fizzes into the corner.

 

[Main Stand]

Red card for WSW, cracking first half this.

 

[Main Stand]

Kenny Miller has done a Lennon and absolutely launched a water bottle

 

[bkerr72]

Ziggy Gordon always good for making a mistake or 2 in a game and just made another one there really poor defending.

 

[Main Stand]

Bookings galore now, ref losing a bit of control.

 

[Sydneyger65]

2 dreadful misses there.

 

[Kill Jester]

That was an exciting final 10 minutes. The draw has got me a win in the first leg of my acca

2nd one will be tight.

Melbourne derby on Sunday too, some cracking games this weekend.

 

[Main Stand]

Macarthur v Wellington.

Both sides have nothing to play for with the play off places all sealed, hopefully still a good game though.

Ex-Rangers target Tomar Hemed has 5 in 4 for Wellington.

Ex-Rangers target Tomar Hemed has 5 in 4 for Wellington.

Blast from the past that name.

 

[Main Stand]

“He’s stroking one out ahead of Hemed” absolutely howling

 

[Main Stand]

1-0 Wellington, Hemed runs the channel and back heels it intoning the on rushing Ball who passes into the far corner.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

This weekend is the start of the play offs. Some early morning fitba while waiting for the Euros to start. Live on BT now

I'm at the game come on macarthur!

 

[Main Stand]

I'm at the game come on macarthur!

Enjoy mate, jealous of you!.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

I'm at the game come on macarthur!

Brilliant. Would be some achievement for Macarthur to reach the semis

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

Surely the handball rules out the red card?

 

[IbroxForever]

Surely the handball rules out the red card?

Makes no sense. The hand ball would have ruled out any goal, but the defender is sent of for denying a goal scoring opertunity.

 

[IbroxForever]

That's a clear red card.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

How unlucky was the defender there?

 

[GOLEADOR]

Big centre back for the 2nd goal there

 

[Main Stand]

Play off Semi’s at 10:05

Sydney v Adelaide, I see Sydney winning by a couple based on form and the last meeting between the sides

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

Great goal. 2-0 sydney

 

[Main Stand]

Sydney clinical so far!.

 

[Mackania]

What do you have to do to get booked in the A League? An elbow to the face that causes an injury and the ref talks it over with the VAR official and decides its nothing.

Tenner on based on your tip - cheers

 

[Main Stand]

Tenner on based on your tip - cheers

That’s very brave mate

Best of luck!.

 

[Main Stand]

Sydney miss a penalty.

 

[Mackania]

Peach.

Another Sydney goal and got them to pick up two bookings in the celebrations and I'll be happy

 

[Main Stand]

What a finish that is.

Surely Sydney won’t bottle this

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

That has to be a pen

 

[GOLEADOR]

Another final appearance for Sydney then, some record they've got in recent years

 

[Northampton Lodger]

Enjoyed that thanks to Erskine Bear

 

[IbroxForever]

Decent game, Sydney don't half get some amount of decisions go there way from refs.

 

[tartan_penguin]

Grand Final just kicking off.

come on Sydney FC

 

[JayDee]

1-1 so far. Sydney's Brattan sent off (two yellows). On BT Sport 3.

 

[JayDee]

Melbourne go 2-1 up with a penalty just before half-time.

 

[Main Stand]

Crackin game this, I actually fancied Sydney here but Melbourne just gave too much quality.

 

[GazzaG]

I was going to ask on here what the fans with toilet seats was all about.

Then I saw the "trophy".

How the fùck did that thing get approval?

That was what everyone here thought when it was first presented - but the "dunny seat" is part of A League culture now. There'd be riots if they tried to change it!

 

[Melbbear]

Quite like to watch this when the games are live in the mornings. Granted, it's not the best standard but I like the honesty of it compared to European football. Even the smaller crowds generate a good atmosphere.

They have a conventional 33 match league where the winners are called the Premier team. The top 6 then have a play off system where the winner of that is the Champion team for that season. The top 2 then receive a bye to the semi finals of the play off with the highest ranked team being the home teams. Matches are played to sudden death. Almost as bonkers as our set up but it seems well organised.

Sydney FC would be the Rangers of the league. The most successful club, winning the normal league season 4 times and crowned overall champion 5 times.

victory bigest club and fan base. last couple of seasons ben shocking. Melb City best this year play a game much like Rangers one touch high press football really enjoyed watching them.
