Anyone got pax numbers.

I think we will get a decent crowd. 80% of people i've spoken to have said they are coming.

The FFA inflated prices will put off a few but if you are a Fair dinkum coastie you will be there.

wanna hear this song at least 3 times tomorrow

Come on Mariners, we have nothing to fear, we're 2-0 down and have nothing to lose, i hope we look to dominate from the kick off and not concede another soft goal like we did in the first leg.



time to fire up boys,

Song? A stretch to call it music! Must be my age, but I couldn't hear a single word.

Sun Herald reckons pre-sales are strong and the crowd should be 15K.

Brilliant stuff.

Come on You Yellows!

I am in Kuala Lumpur - does anyone know where I can get an Internet stream because the match is not being shown on tv here

 

[scoober]

How is a goal allowed if a player dummies a free kick from an offside position... Clearly! Great heart. Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bex]

Can't get it to work but listened to radio commentary on coast fm

Nightmare beginning. You felt your heart die in your chest.
But we showed some serious character at 2 nil and went on to play some truly outstanding football.

Not sure i can bring myself to watch a replay yet.

Were we as raped by the ref as it seemed? Dives, hand ball pen, offsides and the like?

Dutchy was a god, and Rosey really made amends tonight.

Someone please put Enrique and Broich on their asses next game. PLEASE. Standing off those guys is a recipe for disaster.

 

[Jocwa08]

Looked like more than that in the crowd

.

Definate handball,he lifted his arms as he jumped.Game defining moment. However he also missed patricks second handball just before he was replaced.

Yes if the crowed figures are correct then we have been fudging them all year.

Mind you the FFA and counting crowd numbers don't exactly have a good record. e.g. Newy vs Us a few seasons back.

 

[pjennings]

So Mick - what's the story about Berisha and a spectator after the game? Any truth?
