Matchday: Discussion and Highlights

Malik has been a very capable fill-in at RB. Crossing and overlapping like Alves ffs.

Probably my favourite Adelaide player, he is just such a valuable player, CM, DM, RB and CB, he can do it all ffs.

I'm glad our defence has got itself together, but still, when Ibini got in behind the defence early in the 1st half I was pretty annoyed at them.

Yeah, he did do that quite easily.

It was just awful passing from our defence for that chance.

btw, Heart 5 - 0 Wellington. Unbelievable.

GTFI first leg done and dusted, time to take the tie to china and show these POS who we are.

Interesting finish to the game with the red cards and Lippi the POS coming on the field.

Saba and La rocca copped death threats on social media, so i hope they both score in the next leg to rub it into the faces of these 'mongrels'.

lol Lippi

GTFI *bleep*, it's game day.

Gonna try make the effort to get into the a-league this season

Yeah boiiiii, ACL finals. If you live in Australia and are a euro snob, please GTFO of the country.

good for Australia that WSW are doing well. Hope they go 1 step further than Adelaide did

Adelaide is really going down the Barca route of the 3-4-3, aren't they?

Really should have beaten the Victory tonight, too.

Was at the game. There were so many good chances missed by Adelaide.

I was too.

There was, should have had at least 2 in the first half alone.

Get in boys, Derby day.

Sydney is Sky Blue

London is Chelsea Blue

*bleep* that game, every call went thier way, new it would turn when we conceded that dumb last min goal in the first half. FC fans are still shite.

Went last night. Amazing... best atmosphere I've ever seen in Australia. Soon they'll have to move them to sh*tty homebush for capacity.

Would have been gutted if Wanderers robbed a point. Surely Janjetovic was paid Thoroughly deserved but Wanderers should be better when they have Juric and Rukavytsya. They desperately need a better offence.

I honestly don't know if your having a laugh here? Are you *bleep*?

10 men down, hardly getting the ball out of their half. Sydney having the ball in the final 3rd for like 20 mins straight but impossibly failing to make good final balls. Yes I would have been pretty pissed if we didn't manage a victory.

Particularly after controlling the early play before conceding and then going 2 down to the biggest joke of a goal.

That red card was bullshit as hell, how the *bleep* you haven't mentioned the 2nd illegal goal for Sydney FC is beyond me, clear obstruction on Covic by Ibini.

Picking what's convenient for you really doesn't make your argument any stronger mate.

When the hell did creating chances give you the right to points, if you can't *bleep* convert you don't deserve shit. But ibini and the refs found away around that i suppose.

10 men down, i think we did good anyways.

Offside: Preventing an opponent from playing the ball or clearly obstructing opponent's line of vision - didn't happen #SydneyDerby

Wow honestly, to come out and look like a massive dick when ibini was holding and blocking his vision is beyond a joke, FFA might as well celebrate the pitch invasion as well, can see all of them avoiding bans and fines.

Well firstly I don't think the red was bullshit. It was a careless tackle and he can only blame himself. Could have been a yellow? Sure.. but those are given reds regularly and if you go in like that you're putting yourself at risk.

I was explaining Sydney were the better team thats all, which they were. The 2nd goal is one of those ones where if it went the other way the opposition is absolutely apalled as well. After that image, Ibini jinks to his right and the ball is coming straight for Covic before it deflects and goes past him while he is off balance. I understand your frustration 100%, but it would have gone in anyway.

I never said they had a "right to points" but on the balance of play it was very clear who was the better team for me and I don't think there is a lot of point complaining about losing when you weren't good enough.

If you don't concede 15 corners and don't let an opposition in your final 3rd then you don't need to even mention the ref.

The red was bullshit he got the ball with his left foot cleanly and his trailing foot clipped him, wasn't studs up on the trailing foot so why is it a red. The tackle was as bad as one we copped early that was given a basic foul.

It's also convenient all the refs managed to miss Sasha the grubs punch to Saba heads after the tackle, where was the red there.


We were the second best team on the night in terms of play, but it's clearly evident the only reason FC got 3 points was due to the incompetence of the Refs, nothing else.
Don't even waste your time on the Ibini goal with me, if you can't see why it's not a goal, then go join ben wilson on the clueless pile.

I accept everything you say but my only point is Syd were the better team and so its a relief they got the win. Nothing to be ashamed about. They could have racked up another 3 goals on the night easily.
