Other A league games 2022/23

Surely Danny Sydney Granny gets the flick after tonight

only he’d be stupid enough to think the big blue would be a great game to bring back the Victory fans.

Surely more drama tonight
Fan bases who always clash
OSM not lying down on being the active support
Huge police presence with MV not acknowledging OSM.
Surely heavy handed policing
You can feel it bubbling already and APL have shown a complete lack of ability to read the room
Both teams suck

If there is no drama tonight it will be a miracle

I have a conspiracy theory that Victory fans will f**k up so they take the penalty this season when they’re getting the spoon anyway. And at the encouragement of the club.

Thought there were no away fans allowed?

That was only the initial sanctions. They have now ceased just in time to play SFC

there is an awaybay for this game tickets

MV can only have Club members in the North and South ends and active bays behind goal in North End are closed.

People on Twitter saying SFC could set out to cause some trouble to get the point deduction and the OSM won’t back down if challenged.

Interesting first game to see how it all works

Then they’ll Apply a new one after that one. I still like the idea though

Nope that was extended. Shouldn’t be away sales as that would breach the final sanctions:

“

• Include a direction that no specifically allocated Club supporter seating at the Club’s away games will be provided for the remainder of the 2022-23 A-League Men season and 2022-23 A-League Men Finals Series.”

Really feel like watching a good football game. Unfortunately football wise, this is the least interesting fixture I can imagine right now,

No that’s for MV away. This is in Melbourne

Anyone got paramount to play the pre show? Looks like someone forgot to press record.....

Edit - restart did the trick

there is no greater guide to what 2nd rate coaches corica and poppa are .
than the big blue .

 

[Josho Howe]

Victory are absolutely rancid.

Left field comment here but is Anyone else on here looking at Corica’s Face on the sideline thinking he is turning more and more into One of those Who characters from whoville in the grinch??

The commentators constantly talking up the game was embarrassing. Wasn’t a great match to be honest and Victory should secure their second spoon on that performance.

 

[booney]

Victory seemed very disorganised when they got into the final third-poor passes,wrong options and very little interplay between attacking players.They were missing Ikonomidis and D'Agostino which did blunt their attack.

Lolley is very good for FC and Brattan is such a good passer especially out to the wings.

If they get another spoon expect a massive cleanout of players. Broxham top of the list

 

[pjennings]

Surely Popovic is on borrowed time. Probably can't afford to pay him out

they brought a side last year !
their shit, no flow of players from junior ranks .
yet they went out and spent a salary cap on nani .

 

[true believer]

the reigning coach of the year !

I doubt the Board would the tumerity to sack the coach of the year or one as successful previously as Popovic.
That would be admitting total failure by the coach.
I see that Popa is starting to use a lot of younger players to shore up his position as well...

yeah he brought on juric !! the guy that i think can play is william wilson and would be suited in a 442.
but poppa is coach of the year

I don’t think there’s any doubt Popa can get great results and if you need to turn around a dumpster fire he’s got to be a top choice. But he also doesnt seem to be able to back it up over a longer period - probably that same strictness not being a sustainable strategy and burning out some players. Potentially why he goes for players that have fallen in to line previously - aka the Perth B team this season.

Agree he rarely puts two good full seasons together if ever. He would be a tough manager to play under but not for all the good reasons.
