[roboshark]

Boys played well last week so I am going

Jets
Wsw
Draw
Nix
Heart

 

[Big Sam]

Looks like WSW will finish on top because I see CC/MV finishing even.

Also Heart's looking at its biggest ever non-Derby crowd. Let's hope they keep going to matches.

 

[Timmah]

I'm picking a new low for MV, we could snot them 2-0 or 3-0.

We had an ordinary night at the office on Saturday but I feel they're in a slump tbh.

[roboshark]

Who the f**k is this ref we have ?? I have been around Aussie football for a long whole and I have never heard of him. Hope he is influenced by a hometown crowd!!!!

 

[Timmah]

Laverdure's been around most of the season, he's good but not great, like most of them.

 

[Jobdog]

He was dealing out the cards like they were going out of fashion. Most showed a distinct lack of "feel" for the game and the slippery surface IMO.

As for the game itself, disappointed the Jets didn't put a gap between themselves and the Roar, but it did keep the Roar out of the six I guess. Birighitti was outstanding once again.

 

[roboshark]

2 points lost I feel. A trip to Wellington spells usual disaster for us. We have a good record vs victory but geez it's going to be tough. Then home against Perth. Anymore than 1 loss in that lot and we are completely finished I reckon

 

[Big Sam]

Well done CCM - always enjoy seeing the Victorians get belted.

Makes for a superb game next week. With some kinder weather we could be looking at 17-18k.

 

[Timmah]

W. O. W.

Wasn't expecting it to be that emphatic, but I did say:

I'm picking a new low for MV

 

[Mong]

Meh.. The roar put 5 past them and let 0 in..

In context that's a much bigger low!!

 

[Timmah]

We didn't let any in, per se, a penalty and an OG are really our own fault :lol:

 

[Mong]

Lol

Fail..

 

[Jobdog]

Well done CCM - always enjoy seeing the Victorians get belted.

Makes for a superb game next week. With some kinder weather we could be looking at 17-18k.

If Mariners fans are fair dinkum they'll sell the joint out next week.

 

[Jason Maher]

Lol

Fail..

Indeed the Roar do.

Also, lol@the sooky lala Heart supporters.

 

[Big Sam]

Also, lol@the sooky lala Heart supporters.

Why? Luca$h has always put dollars before trophies. He could've played in a European Cup final but instead ended up in a relegation shitfight with West Ham all because they offered him 10k a week more.

 

[Jason Maher]

Seriously, getting your jimmies rustled because an over the hill Lucas Neill knocked you back is a little precious.

 

[Big Sam]

He wasn't over the hill post-2006 WC.

Great crowd for Heart - their biggest non-derby crowd ever and for the first time, the biggest of the round.

 

[Timmah]

And one bloke kicked out for tweeting jokingly about bringing in flares and smashing up seats.
