FFA Cup

[pjennings]

That's why you have Duke, Fitz and Tricky on the bench. A good 60 or 70 mins from each of them will do them the world of good and Duke, Fitzy and Tricky will appreciate coming on against tiring opposition.

Neill to LB, Rose to RB as he did in pre-season?

 

[radar]

Just a thought - WSW are the Champions Of Asia and are languishing at the bottom of the A League. By what stretch of the imagination is it impossible for us not to go all the way in the FFACup?

Is there some sort of glass-half-full mentality that prevails in CCM supporters? That could explain our perpetual low crowds.

No Neill or Posco. So Ando will get a run - no backup CB so Bosnar will start too. Fitzy getting a rest. Liam Rose in the squad.

Likely squad will be

Morton ---- Ando ---- Bosnar ---- Rose
-------Monty -----L.Rose/Caceres-------
----Sim---------Kim-----Mane/Vernes
------------------Simon--------------------

IRMARKO, Duke, Caceres/Hutch, Vernes, Tricky

Does anyone know what the story is with Beyhan Irmarko, he is not in the Youth League but always backs up for the FFA Cup?

 

[dibo]

He's a keeper they have available who isn't cup-tied? Maybe the NYL keepers can't travel interstate around their work commitments?

 

[VicMariner]

I love the Cup but it will be good when it is finished and we can concentrate on the league.
Then it will be interesting to see the squad selections.

 

[midfielder]

Wonders aloud if we beat AU this week and given the final will be played on the East Coast because of Fox and assume PG win tonight ... what sorta crowd do we think we would get...

As an aside the Football evolution is in full swing ... some of the media about tonights game..

are you sure the job of hosting the FFA cup final is not drawn? that was my understanding (if no greens, who would automatically host)

 

[sydmariner]

Can't see Kim getting a go. Both Mossy and he looked pissed last time he was replaced. We lost our momentum when Sim cam on yesterday - so

---------------Reddy
Roux---Anderson---Poscoliero---Rose
----Montgomery-------Caceres
Cernak--------Vernes------Mane
---------------Simon

Nash, Hutch, Trifiro, Duke, Fitz

If that's your line up then how is mat sim supposed to score 4 goals

My understanding because of Fox wishes the game cannot be played in WA because of the time difference... If the Greens beat PG then they will host the final as the FFA said when its an A-League club V a state or lower team then the match will get played at the state teams home ground ...

So if we beat AU and PG beat the BG's then I understand it will be played at Gosford... however would prefer the BG's beat PG we beat AU and thus we play the BG's on their home ground...

Can you imagine if we hosted the final and say 12 K turned up or worst 6K .... it would not be a good look...

interesting! thanks for the info, hadn't seen that.

As much as it would burn the faces of football fans all over the internet, id love to host the final here BUT id say your 6K would be generous!

 

[dibo]

Decent hit from Marinkovic in the cup semi to put Perth one up.

 

[nearlyyellow]

Hard to defend against that! Dip and curl. Great strike. Very similar to the one that undid Reddy on Sunday.

 

[nearlyyellow]

Hmm, Marinkovic again! PG 2 BG 0 Looks like PG will take a final spot.

 

[sydmariner]

Anyone see the flair get thrown on the field
