OT: Association Football

[Avenger]

Congrats mate.

Cheers Suity. I thought your Japanese import was your best. Don't like ANZ as a stadium. When is this reno happening?

 

[Twizzle]

Mariners snatch a point in Perth, I'll take that

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Wow. Didn't expect that scoreline.

Yup, me and the two others i watched it with both thought he was WSW best too.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah great comeback from the Dyldam Mariners.

 

[Eelementary]

It's incredible the stranglehold the Sky Blues have over us!

But well done, Sydney FC - a great performance from them.

 

[Gronk]

Wow. Didn't expect that scoreline.

So 4-0 is a bit of a flog in soccer. What's that in NRL terms ? 40 nil ?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah I reckon a soccer goal is equivalent of about ten points in league. Seems right anyway.

 

[Twizzle]

Yeah great comeback from the Dyldam Mariners.

Don't think I'll everget used to the Dyldam Mariners

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Not only does it have an integrated anal tickler, but it's salt water resistant to a depth of 100m. Of course, most people won't ever push it that far.

Be careful merkins or Roy O’Donovan will get angry.

It's not really the same, coz you can concede 2 goals in injury time and turn a 2-0 defeat into a 4-0 defeat. Some 4-0 wins are absolute shellackings, others less so.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I thought the WSW were a bit unlucky in the derby, at least until 2-0 down. Vukovic was immense. But then their heads dropped and the Effen Cees dominated, so f**kem.

 

[Eelementary]

Even though we keep getting belted, I love the Derby. It's immensely good fun!

 

[phantom eel]

Yep, it was in the balance until Sydney opened up holes to put two goals through in three mins.

It's like if Parra were competing and then let in two tries with 30 mins still to play... we'd be dirty on the players if they stopped putting in at that point, and let in some more soft tries.

Wanderers fans should be dirty at their team's second half effort - no steel, no spine. And in a "derby"ffs!

WSW is going nowhere this season... spoon bets anyone?

 

[EelsFan05]

Nichols should have score one on one and Bulut's header should have been better placed. Our back four were diabolical. I think we will be mid table.

 

[Suitman]

Yes. If Buluts header was better placed, it's 2-1. Completely different ball game.

 

[strider]

Best defender missing also ... or is that not overly significant?

 

[Suitman]

Best defender missing also ... or is that not overly significant?

Topor Stanley? He has his moments. He's becoming a bit of a passenger these days.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He's the captain as well isn't he? They might've kept their heads if he'd played.
