Re: The Official A-League Thread.
Well firstly becauz Central Coast don't have the best defenderz on earth, and secondly, they played in a furious pace which prob made their decision makin a bit slow, and hence allowed Yorke so much time to pick the pass. In normal circumstances in a 2 on 1 situation one of the defenders would've closed him down.

Re: The Official A-League Thread.
In Beauchamp, Clark and Heffernan, they had three of the most solid defenders in the A-League.
Central Coast just tired midway through the second half.
We win the Premiership, but we didn't really deserve to win the match yesterday.
Who cares, though :-D
SYDNEY FC! PREMIERS '05/06!

Re: The Official A-League Thread.
Beuchamp was solid throughout the game. the mariners just lacked that little of bit clinical finishing, considering their chances. Yorke stepped up in the 2nd half, you could he was making a few more runs and made himself some more space. That happened in the semi as well, as he struggled to make an impact in the first half.
The crowd was amazing, we were in the middle and the atmosphere was nothing like ive seen before. Big ups to the public for making it an awesome occasion.

I had to work
Is Dwight eligible for a loan move to Europe now? I heard Falkirk wanted to sign him.

It's Gay. Fucking up State League football big time and ruining the footballing future of Australia. They desperately need to create a Reserve/Youth squad for every club and give our juniors incentive to stay in Australia and play at a higher level.

Re: The Official A-League Thread.
Fucking up football in Australia???? Surely you cannot be serious, the A-League is the best thing to happen to club football in this country. The point was to establish a fully professional league to GIVE out juniors incentive to stay and play in Australia, not leave because they could only go so far money wise like in the NSL. I agree that a Youth League is necessary to maintain development, but at the moment it would place a major drain on clubs funds, but it will come in the future. Perhaps each of the clubs could use their respective State Leagues as their development base, eg loaning out players that aren't getting a run in the First Team to clubs.Komit said:

Re: The Official A-League Thread.
Apart from NSW (and I guess you can include Victoria too), State Leagues in the other states were piss-poor. At best.
Let us all be disappointed in the A-League, because the EPL has youth development systems, reserve teams and training squads in place. Forget the fact the EPL is technically only about 12 or 13 years old, because we all know that in theory, it is a lot older than that.
The A-League will develop everything necessary to entice young players to stay here instead of going to Europe. First off, though, it would be a good thing if people like Archie Thompson didn't run off to Europe at the first opportunity, and Dave Carney talk about going to England as soon as possible also.
Hopefully, young children in Australia will grow up dreaming of playing for Sydney, Perth and Adelaide .. instead of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus. Obviously the quality of the competition doesn't currently warrant this .. but there is hope for the mid-to-long-term future of the game in Australia.
And nevertheless, the A-League has shown that there IS a market for the game in Australia .. the NSL just did not bother even trying to exploit it because of all the self-serving European dickheads running the clubs and the competition.
Perhaps, though, your reason for being upset is founded.
I recall your posts early on in the season, and I called you a closet Mariners supporter.
The Mariners lost the Grand Final .. hmmm.

And/or did you converse with a girl behind you (16 years old)? She would have been with her boyfriend and her family.
If so, that is REALLY coincidental.
Did you perchance not have your shirts on? I think ..braad said:thank you

Re: The Official A-League Thread.
Haha ok.
It's just that one of my friends went with his girlfriend and her family to the game, and they support Central Coast. They sat with the Marinators.
She told me afterwards that there were these two Sydney supporters right in front of them who were cheering for Sydney and booing the Mariners etc. They weren't wearing shirts, supposedly.
So yeah, when you said what you said, I thought that you might have been one of the guys. Hehe.
