2011 A-League Grand Final - Brisbane v Central Coast

[Timmah]

The big one - this Sunday 4pm (QLD time... 5pm NSW time).

Heart says us, head says Roar. I just hope that after 3 grand finals we finally score a f**king goal!

Good luck Brisbane!

 

[Knightmare]

Scoring a goal would be good. Scoring more than Brisbane would be much, much better!

I have a feeling the Mariners will win.

Roar have to lose sometime, and I just have a feeling Roar will be one of those sides to dominate the season and fall at the final hurdle

 

[fish eel]

So the suncorp pitch would be getting a bit chopped up tonight because of the rain

Wonder how much it will effect the way the roar play, if at all

 

[Twizzle]

only a few raindrops up here atm, nothing to speak of

 

[pennywisealfie]

what a match we have, the greatest single season side in Australian footballing history vs the one team thats always thereabouts at seasons end. sickness means i will be at home watching this still, lets go Roar!!!!!

 

[Twizzle]

f**k the Roar

 

[CC_Eagle]

f**k the Roar

Word.

Central Coast Leagues Club from about 3PM onwards :crazy:

Come on, Mariners fans. Don't be greedy. We all know that the Roar have already proven themselves far and away the best team this season. Honestly, can anyone say the Mariners have been the best team this year if they somehow snatch a shock victory? Way behind on the ladder, 3 losses and 2 draws from 5 head to head meetings already, how many chances do they deserve really? The A-League finals system where sixth time lucky can make you the champions. What a joke. Finals do not suit football.

 

[Timmah]

Don't be greedy? You've already got your premiers plate. We'll take the toilet seat thanks.

 

[Slackboy72]

So what's the score?

 

[fish eel]

Extra time - Mariners 2 zip up and have the game IMO.

Timmah will probably blow up at me for mentioning this, but the ref bottled it in not giving Brisbane a penalty in the 65th minute. Sure, Solarzano made the most of it, but there was contact and it was a penalty. If it's not a penalty, then it's a free kick to CCM for simulation.

 

[IanG]

Looks like they'll be turning cars over in Gosford tonight.

 

[weasel]

Win or lose on penalties this experience is turning me off the A-League. The finals series has to go.

 

[fish eel]

Looks like they'll be turning cars over in Gosford tonight.

hold your fire :lol:

what a finish

 

[IanG]

Yeah seems I may have spoken too soon. Now going to a penalty shootout

 

[weasel]

Well the best team by far all season will thankfully be remembered that way, despite the best attempts of this dumb finals system to deny them. Immensely proud of my boys. Have had so many against the odds performances in our run of 28 games undefeated, truly the sign of a remarkable side.

 

[fish eel]

that is seriously one of the biggest collapses I can remember watching. Two goals up with how long left to lose on penalties?

Full credit to the Roar, they showed amazing patience to keep playing their usual style and not panic.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Mariners are choking dopes

lmao @ mcbreen mouthing off to the Brisbane keeper when they were up 2-0. Then he misses the penalty bwahahaha
