Tianjin Teda against Mariners

[Kareem]

4 good things, 10+ bad things...
Start rant
1. Chinese players- 
absolute disgrace to the world game
not to mention them coming back to eastern side for a 2nd time (to jeer us?)

2. Great noise by the bay. Make the move permanent

3. Disgusting chant by the bay 
I am appalled by the Petrovski chant
It seems a tad bit hypocritical when every1 says- oh we will never support the Jets in the ACL- yet here we are chanting for a Jets player 

4. Osman- never really liked him...until stoppage time. ABSOLUTE LEGEND!
Best thing he has done here since scoring vs the Jets 
PS. should have got a yellow card
Thankyou Osman!

5. I ahve never used these words so definitive and emphatically but...
LAWRIE OUT!!!
He had absolutely no idea tonight
Starting Osman...? Wat the?
Starting Clarky (old) over Porter (young) wat the?
Keeping Lewis on bench
Starting Hutcho over Huke- well thats not much of a suprise i guess considering how much he loves Hutcho
And his subs (rather lack of) were appalling.

There were 2 options for me
A) Play full-strength- and GET THAT WIN!
or
B) Experiment, play the young guns. And lose...

We did cough cough A)- except we didnt win.
Wat was the point?

6. I liked Bojic in midfield...(sorts out his defensive problems as of late)
7. Caceres was good i thought- mainly 1st half
8. Elrich- really impressed. He even won the ball a couple of times (which from watching him previously he usually doesnt do much defensive wise)
9. Loved part on Eastern sideline in early 2nd half where we did 3-4 short snappy passes in small space after we won the ball
10. What a crap goal- a nutty. Are you serious Danny?
11. What a crap handling off the corner 1st half- almost own goal- are you serious Danny?
12. Sign Bozza
13. Only good thing Danny did was header after a horrendous back pass
14. What a horrendous back pass  ???
15. I am in disbelief- i honeslty thought no more than 4k (looked 3.5 k)
16. Good on the regulars for sticking by the team in these hard times- despite this crap we are watching!
17. Ref lost control of game
18. Take a shot Hutcho!!!!!!!!!!!!  Do something 
/end rant

i think thats called sarcasm and trying to send a message to the club that they f**ked up. Didnt you hear the Trotty/McAndrew and Woodruffe chants?

 

[Jesus]

ozzy is a bloody legend, can't believe the amount of blatant diving in that game and ozzy showed how we were all feeling

Was the best and only good thing i have seen ozzy do in months

i got the sarcasm and had a laugh at it, didn't hear the trott and mcandrew ones though, oh well. hope the move becomes permanent cause i will definetly be in there more over that side then bay 16

I thought he played quite well tonight for the first time in a while.

 

[trev]

My view of the game
Danny- omg Close your legs
Clarkey-did well imo with the support he had shit crosses though
wilko- Played better than he has recently but alright
Boogs- other than the goal did alright
Heff- Showed glimpses of hes best running down the side whipping in crosses but crosses where poor
Hutch-OMG SUB him please lawrie!!!!!
Pedj- Thought he did well playing out of position
Ozzie- What a Champ, played well
Elrich- Did well not fully fit but showed some signs what he is capable of
Adrian- Very dangerous in the first half, shoot lad
kwassie- worked his arse of tbf

love the passing we need to do that with matty and dylan instead of long balls, so much better best football i have seen from us in a whole 5 and abit months imo
P.S OZZIE=ledgend

Danny- omg Close your legs

i think there are at least 31 things the club has stufed up more than the petrovski situation
31  bigger 'f*** ups'!

f**k if they keep diving hit the c**ts harder, give em somthing to cry about

don't you have to getup for work in a couple of hours, sleep and let other people bag out these disgraceful divers

 

[Herbs]

Least in our minds we scored a goal


..if you were near bays 1/2

 

[fedelta]

On the positive.

Bay 1 >>> Bay 16..

- Roof creates noise.
- Smaller, skinnier bay means people are closer together.
- Better view.

could go on for days.

Bay 1 new supporters bay

 

[ballantyne]

I thought Bay 1 was good. I stood in there for a bit and there were about 20-30 people singing. I had a bit of a walk round the stadium to see if the noise was carrying. You can hear Bay 1 quite well along much of the eastern side but you can't hear it at all on the western side. On the north side it's faint.
There were only a few in that Bay 1, but there were only a few everywhere. With a decent crowd in, I'd expect a similar result but with Bay 1 a bit more audible from the northern stands.
Go Bay 1/2, though, it's a brave and sensible move.
Security was over-staffed - I wouldn't expect that to continue. Mariners were ordinary - sadly that probably will.

 

[ballantyne]

Perhaps the Mariners could lead a charge back into Oceania. The OCL has a certain ring to it. Hakas, pigs, shrunken heads - might be more our go.

 

[serious14]

CCM - 69% possession, 19 shots on goal, 2 on target.  FORTY PLUS BALLS INTO THE PENALTY AREA.....  Tianjin - 31% possession, 4 shots on goal, 3 on target, 1 goal.

So, so funny - for all the wrong reasons.

Positives - Bay 1/2 = epic win.  Bay 2 will give the slightly better view, but really, the roof made an astonishing amount of difference.  That ten minutes when just about everyone threw it in and took the piss of all concerned was worth the price of admission in itself.  ;D

Our first half was quite alright - Caceres is an amazingly naturally talented footballer who just oozes class when he wants to, but with the shit he's surrounded by at the moment, doesn't really get the chance.  I did like those parts of the first half where we played it on the ground and moved around though.... just beckons the question, why not for the last 6 months??  Good to see the sideline crowd give those who aren't fit to wear the shirt a severe bollocking at fulltime as well.  You know things are bad when the Gold Seat brigade make a special effort to stay behind and single out players for special comment.

Negatives - covered more succinctly and far angrier than I could be bothered to muster elsewhere in this thread.  Like Sacko said, the club didn't take this competition seriously, what were they expecting from the supporters in return??  It's quite sad really, I was looking forward to this Asian sojourn.....

8th or 9th spot (and I'm being generous) in V5.

FWIW Pohang Steelers (remember, the side we held scoreless for a draw here and looked like we were going to jag an away win against with 10 to go) have topped our group beating Kawasaki 2-0 in Japan. So we were how far away?

I've hated Asia. Don't even want to look at my jersey and scarf ATM
If massive time wasting for the last 15 if your a goal up and players dropping all over the field like there's a f**king pandemic is what you see in the CSL, I'm glad I've got the A-League

 

[Paolo]

rofl at people being disgusted about the chinese diving when i can remember us diving numerous times in the first half to win fouls.

 

[TerrigalUtd]

Anyone have an idea when the press release will be released? The one for the players who are getting released
