Perth Glory 2-2 Brisbane Roar

Ben Williams is still a useless cunt who should go back to clown college. worst ref in the world, someone should smash his face in, honestly he's so up himself he needs it. In saying that its still a foul, corey brown needs to be dropped and maybe released, he cannot defend at all, and for a left back that is extruciating. its been too damn long this club hasn't gotten a quality lb, buy one in the offseason.

Also Donachie + Devere partnership next season please. can get rid of north to clear some cap to get the left back if need be (and a striker who can score some goals)

oh and most importantly

Meanwhile in Gosford.........

Western Syndey Wanderers 0-3 Melbourne Victory

aaaaand are regular programming commences. in all fairness to the wanderers, they had the majority of the possession and shots where even, just that Victory where far more effective
I actually think the victory need someone better than muscat though. he's a good assistant, for the squad they have (best in the league with sydney) tney should be topping it, think they've actually underperformed a bit. mind you its far from sackable but would expect a bit more, postecoglu would have had them winning the league, as would arnie

Perth Glory 1-2 Wellington Phoenix

the distance derby ends with the nix winning and going top of the table. glory are no longer the top and are winless in 8

Crowd: 9178 (ehh, should be a bit better but the nix are the worst draw in the comp anyway)

Melbourne City 4-0 Newcastle Jets

Jets get crushed. tinkler is a fat piece of shit, stubbins by name, stubborn by nature. the usual. not going to do us any favors though.

Crowd: 5867 (that is worse then heart level, this is a new level of plastic)

The broncos get a 27 million upgrade to red hill, from council nevertheless

yet we can't even get a fucking upgrade to Perry Park so we can play on a half decent surface, not that the club cares since they barely pay attention to their fans anyway. just would

27 million would probably get a good upgrade so the roar can finally have a ground to call their own instead of being wrecked by poor surfaces, astronomical rent + food prices + just being treated terribly by the stadium and taken advantage of

enough is enough, between council and barkries something could be done (half and half it, its not like the barkries are short of change)

hell i bet you crowds would go up due to the fact that perry park is 2-3 minutes away to 6 train lines from all directions (bowen hills station), that means people form all over the city (north, south, east and west) will be able to get to the station very easily (not that suncorp isn't accessible but this is the height of convenience

Sydney FC 0-1 Melbourne City

Shiiiieeeeeeeeet. i saw the first half, pretty even, not much going on, missed the second so a bit surprised, it looked destined for a nil-all draw

helps city's chances of the 6 (and effectively means the roar really need to win against the top of the table nix, which ain't happening most likely)

Sydney lose out, despite having the majority of possession (57% to 43%), more shots (12 to 8) and more shots on goal (4 to 2), it really is about making the best of them

Crowd: 11 638 (Shit crowd is shit, newcastle if they weren't so damn bad would be outdrawing them right now, hell, a crappy roar and wsw, as well as perth, adelaide probably will, and the victory will probably at least double that crowd, and this is with the team doing well)

meanwhile in the Malaysian Super League, i see Felda are on top early, also Machuke, a former perth glory prospect is doing well over there, i think some of the guys from the a-league, instead of going to the state leagues, maybe malaysia should be an option. cause this lad has scored 3 from 6 so far, that isn't a bad ratio at all, the super league helped revive the career of petratos (though thats gone to shit since mulvey left) only 5 games played so far though so can't put too much stock on the table i guess. Also interesting to see the amount of african imports used in malaysia as apposed to most other places in asia, the japanese tend to love (and i mean love) all things brazilian (for better or worse) korea and aus usually a mix of east european, european and south american and even thailand tends to go towards spanish and brazilians as a rule. malaysia seems to buck this trend completely, i wonder, because some of them are rubbish (like you would think some of these guys have been scouted via a facebook message) but most tend to be really really good (and i mean by most asian leagues standards)

well considering the fact they're recruiting guys like Cornthwaite, it ain't surprising. guys like mallia, chianese and some of the younger players with some pace may be better, maybe seeing who falls through the cracks in the academies here (like that young striker that plays for Felda). also a lot of the aussie guys are also overseas, those who aren't there, in the a-league or in the rest of asia may be playing in the state leagues again or even india (the indians really like our guys, a guy like Ozbey is earning 600k a year and he came from the nsw state league) so theres that also
