FFA Cup Final

[Forum Phoenix]

Absolute stitch up. Who from FA thought that was a good idea.

Yeah but how fun will it be watching him hand it to Ollie

Can we lose the conspiracy chat?

*grumbles*

"Yes, Dad"

That’s what I mean though, it’s either going to look really sus if he hands it to victory or awkward when he presents it to us. Neither is a great outcome. I would have preferred a neutral presenter or even a rep from the reigning cup holders.

Fair points @dibo on the conspiracy chat. I'm not going to be a "denier" as they say these days when anyone disagrees with something (not saying you are either) but isn't the saying "no-one rates us, we don't care"?

re the supporter bay I'm sure there were chats in the early Mariners/Marinators days along the lines of "where do you want to put them", with them being the scum supporters or whatever. ?

Oh that sucks. Sorry to hear. I am having a very sheltered week.

Hope you are ok and recover quickly.

The draw was the draw. Move on. It was 50:50, and the other name came up. BFD.

Being in the corner? Standard spot, it's fine, players will know where to find us with the trophy, it's fine.

The fix being in? FMD - I hope none of the players are reading this shit. That's "excuses to lose" stuff. It's a football game. There are two teams and a ball, just like any other game. Our job is to go out and win it.

If they put the game on f**king Mars with Kevin Muscat as the referee I would still expect us to go out to win it.

Let's get the chips off the shoulders, they'll only weigh us down. COYY

Hear hear.

Also, no one who has been to Melbourne away wants to be near their active

Fix is well and truly in…

Aside from it being odd that they would pick someone with affiliations to just one of the clubs to present the trophy, it's also odd that it's MV that's announcing it. There is nothing on the FA website or the FA or FFA cup Twitter accounts. Who is running the show?


Btw, if they wanted a former player to present the trophy, but someone living in Melbourne to keep the costs down, then surely the obvious choice is Tommy P - legend at BOTH clubs

May as well just hand the ffa cup to Melbourne f**k sake

 

[true believer]

conspiracy theories anyone ?

“Our club’s co-operation with the FFA by playing the first semi-final early as scheduled has in the end, hurt us.”

Says it all really…

I take this back, I just heard the news about Jason Cummings.
What the actual f**k.

 

[ryan]

Did we really expect anything different from the FFA?

Fairly trivial compared to the Cummings news but apparently Kwazi will present if we win

Not at all surprised they rejected us. No less angry.
I mean first of all they did absolutely everything they could to get the final in a major city without just straight up saying no to us hosting even though the smaller gossie stadium would’ve been perfect for it.
f**king corrupt c**ts

 

[Avoca]

The “magic” of the Cup has turned into sorcery from the south. If only we had a certain Wizard.

 

[Big Al]

Apparently another player of ours was granted permission to be in the squad. Probably a youth player I’d guess. I’d never heard the name when heard on the radio.
So they allowed 1 (who probably won’t play) and denied Cumdog. Probably shouldn’t have scored against SFC as has scared the FFA and the MV.

 

[Michael]

Have they said who the ref will be?

kurt ams 1.05 favourite surely
