RD 4 Mariners V Sydney FC

[Rowdy]

Great memories of great games against them, Spenny's massive deflection goal to win at the death at the SFC

Who could forget & singing
" We're winning in the rain,
Yes! We're winning in the rain,
What a glorious feeling,
I'm happ - happ - happy againnnnn."

Train it down there, beer's at the KB pre-game - KB packed, spilling onto the sidewalk. Ahhh those were the days.

That match was awesome. Rowdy, didn't you "make friends" with an overenthusiastic Cove lad that evening?

Scum dome. Boxing Day 2008

Matty nicks a late winner, shenanigans at the back of the bay during the 2nd half as a few irate locals objected to something that had happened in the beer queue at half time.

I was unaware until after said locals tried to kick off

Got quite smokey at one point I believe.

Infamous drug bus home

What a night that was.

 

[dibo]

Missed that one, was getting text updates to our hotel in Vienna. Sounded awesome from afar. Also missed the 3-3 in Sydney in the same season. Nuts...

It looks like there's a problem with member-allocated seats being released for sale through Ticketek.

At the last game there was a group of members in front of me in Bay 38 whose seats had been sold; the people who bought tickets got moved elsewhere.

This week it turns out that my seat was sold... And they've moved me into one of the tennis boxes down the south end.

Hopefully this gets sorted out very quickly...

Monty having a shocker so far

 

[VicMariner]

Shots like O'Donovan"s 1 on 1 need to be on target at least.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

O'DONOVAN GODADAMMIT!!!!!!!!

Our mids seem to be playing more defensive this game, not linking up quite as well to the strikers.

 

[shipwreck]

Wow... That can't be good for striker confidence, Heffernan to start next week

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Nice to see that Sydney started diving 6 minutes in.

And God, Smeltz is a grub

And oh, why gives a flying fig about the spray? It's a ridiculous thing anyway.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Maybe Rose would do better as the centre back......

 

[VicMariner]

Yeah!

 

[Gratis]

damn...goal against. overall defence is better and attack less impressive -BUT arnie teams typically defend hard early in the season.

Yes! goal while I was writing rhis!

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

YOU BEAUTY!!!!

Heh, I love that the 2 goals were scored in identical fashion too. Striker stepped back off the stopper who hung too far back, received a short cross and knocked it into the far side.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Our defence is much, much better so far.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

That was a disgraceful decision....on what planet was that NOT a penalty???

Possible red card for the keeper if it was given too

 

[VicMariner]

Ref has no balls, ripped off on another pen.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

It was very late, but there was no malice in it....thought it was a borderline yellow at worst myself

 

[Gratis]

WTFFF! Red card after a penalty that would have been given any day of the week! We were in this game except they have 12 players and now we have 10.

HATE when the ref is so influential

 

[shipwreck]

I don't see what the problem was, he leaped, kept his elbow down and momentum took him into the Sydney player....
