I'm watching shoddy coverage in Arabian. It matches the shoddy performance.

1-0 .Arsey but we are still due more luck in WC qualifiers.

 

[DragonPunk]

We got very lucky to get away with that game as we played crap but woo 9 points

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

a win is a win and 3 points are 3 points ... one step closer to qualification

Geeze.. We nicked that one.. Did not deserve that but that's the way it goes i suppose..

5 points ahead of 3rd spot and a +6 for and against..

All looks good.

Thank christ I didn't stay up for that one. Had an 8am start and tempted with the idea of pulling it off.

I think a Pim classic sums it up -

"We didn't deserve one point, let alone three"

WOOT!

Pretty hard to see us not finishing 1 or 2 now.

We have as much creative freedom as a Chinese journalist under PV.

:lol:

I watched it and although it was 2am, it was nearly sleep inducing. We lacked any sort of penetration and if only for the Bahraini's inept finishing, we could well have lost 2 or 3-0.

He is getting results though.

I'm not a fan, but it's pretty hard to argue with three from three and three clean sheets

i'd have thought an italian supporter would respect the art of getting results ... he got a win away from home in the middle east ... what more do people want? ... we didn't warrant a win true BUT it showed we hung in there until the end when we could have easily tried to escape a draw ...

the win says more for their mental determination than anything else which is something australian sides have lacked

Spot on.
Did I hear the commentators say it was an entertaining (or exciting game or something along those lines) game despite the 0-0 score midway through the second half?
Thought I had gone to sleep.
Nobody will remember the game in the future for anything anyway apart from the fact we got the 3 points.
Great result very average game.

I got the signal ok but there was a bit of a storm last night.Had a few up and down the coast so it may of been due to that.

 

[Twizzle]

crap coverage and a crap game

was it me or did anyone else think Josh Kennedy was off side as Bresch received the ball for that goal

That's all well and good, and most definitely better than watching Arnold's sh*t AND losing football. But I want to enjoy watching sport and I have to admit that last night was the earliest I've fallen asleep in a week. The game literally put me to sleep.

It's like when Terry Butcher said that Sydney didn't mind what football it saw, as long as it was winning football. Australians for the most part will not pay a second glance to that sort of spectacle, which means back to the dark days of people only watching big matches.

Had plenty against Qatar.. Was one of those games where they were all over the socceroos every time they got the ball..

Was sh*t to watch that's for certain..
