[Misanthrope]

I got all excited thinking this was on last night.

God, we'd better win.

 

[Big Sam]

We thrashed them last round at the same venue. I see no reason why the same result should not occur.

It's probably the exact same squad too. Osieck's not big on innovation.

Minus Luca$h of course. Be interesting to see who the 2 centre halves are. Williams would be nice but knowing Holger, he'll probably go North/Cornthwaite :lol:

 

[pennywisealfie]

hoping Tommy Oar gets a run.

Also interesting to note there are 6 former or current players that have played for the Roar!

 

[Big Sam]

A reminder for those who don't have Fox that SBS is covering the match from 8pm under the new TV deal.

 

[Misanthrope]

What the actual f**k?

You don't concede early home goals to no names like Oman. Weak.

Now we're going to get a whole game of talentless guys with unpronounceable names parking the f**king bus.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Faaaaaaarrrrrrkkkkkkk

 

[Misanthrope]

Osieck is clearly a mole. NRL, AFL, and ARU loving this.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

I thought we were past the whole choking during the qualifying stages...

Not as long as we keep hiring conservative, ageist coaches.

With a whole bunch of talentless guys with unpronounceable (or at least unmemorable)names trying to score on them

Never be proud of your ignorance.

You do realise the irony of this statement, don't you?

 

[Misanthrope]

I think you need to research what irony means. I didn't say I didn't know who the Omani players were.

 

[The Gambler]

Can please someone fill me in on the situation if we lose this game? Or draw it for that matter?

Loss means Oman leap-frog us into second. Draw leaves us as we are unless Jordan somehow beat Japan.

Dam.

 

[Misanthrope]

Tough game away against Japan next. We'd be lucky to snatch a draw.

'Easy' games against Iraq and Jordan in Oz after that. Should be able to secure at least a third place play-off, but not playing like we are.
