[Band On The Run]

Hope we can get our season underway with a win against the Manager $tealing $cum

 

[Band On The Run]

Also I hope the Victory get enough common sense to wear their home kit. Orange and navy blue contrasts perfectly.

 

[Timmah]

I imagine they would, then the referee can wear yellow

Yeah, the jerseys are a bit of a guess. The Jets could even wear their home one I guess.

 

[Misanthrope]

Perth by the far most impressive team. Playing attractive football and have a very good squad on paper. Could be their year finally.

 

[Timmah]

Can see them putting a few past us based on last weekend. Very confident side.

Will WSW ever score a goal?

0-0 halftime, both teams would fail shooting fish in a barrel atm.

 

[Jobdog]

Two games in and WSW still haven't scored a goal. On the flipside they've only conceded 1. Not a bad effort for them, they've conceded fewer goals than the Jets in more games :lol:

Disappointing crowd for Adelaide though - under 10k. WTF?

 

[Dragon]

Not a bad game this, great crowd

 

[roboshark]

U beauty! Well done guys

Goodwin a star

 

[Mong]

Roar were awesome tonight, ripped them apart down the right.

Some funny shite in the crowd as well..

Great night!!

 

[pennywisealfie]

Everything I could have asked for, 5 Goals, a flare, a pitch invasion and pitch invader getting smashed! almost a fight too. good times.

Brisbane were awesome.

 

[Mong]

Security took a dim view of the banner about Ang which was a bit over the top..

 

[nöyd]

great night in the den, great songs, great laughs - including one song that said something about kevin muscat being a pedophile, in bad taste but i lol'd

 

[Mong]

The pedophile song used to be reserved for Sebastian ryall

We were to the left down next to the other supporter group who also provided some lols..

I dare say that there will be careful viewing of the crowd footage during the week to try and locate the flare thrower.. Bad form to have it end up on the pitch..

Gave the stadium a nice glow though
