Now that his confidence is up I have no doubt JVS is contemplating a "surprise" return of Sorenson in goal,

Would like to see how City/Heart and Victory crowds go when both play at home in the same round. I know some who just go to a game, regardless if it Victory or City. Shit scheduling by FFA.

I don't believe it does. That would imply that refereeing decisions are totally random or the game is fixed. Both are not true. In a low scoring game where titles are decide by a single win, cop a bad decision at a critical juncture in a game and it could make the season meaningless.

Yes, quite.

Give me another Kilkenny and piss off Malik and Caceras and we would be.

Listen Bud, you can blame JVS for the formation, the tactics and the motivation. You can't blame him for the total shitness of Caceras and Malik-Kilkenny doesn't seem to have a problem doing both their jobs for them under JVS the guy y'know can play

yes he has but....he can't kick the ball for caceras and Malik and Chapman either,

As much as JVs is to blame I'm not going to let some players off the hook. Caceras was awful, worst player on the pitch and has been all season. Malik not much better. So where is the midfield creativity going to come from when Kilkenny is playing CB AND CM, and Cahill is no AM? And then you have Chapman with two team mates to pass so he bisects the two over the touchline. Jacobsen wasn't going to be outdone so he nails a 45 metre pass 6 meters above the touchline. A team effort of shitness by everyone.

We're owned by CFG. Believe it and it will be so.

Lampard has left NYC. http://www.beinsports.com/au/football/news/lampards-new-york-city-spell-in-numbers/371178 Could we get him? Do we want to? So many good MLS stats for a 38 year old

We're 2-1 up and Harper is ranting as if we were losing and had to do something. A win is a win. We have played teams off the park and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory enough times.

Yes but Basheer also ended his call of the game by saying "Brisbane Roar 1, Melbourne City 1",

What if JVS has been told by CFG he has to play 3 at the back no matter what?

It actually says more about how insecure the FFA and the League is for football to be seen as a physical game. Simulation and exageration happens in every sport. Preductably the FFA over-reacted to Aloisi's whinge and the ref allowed our players to be kicked off the park- even Michael Bridges couldn't believe one incident in the second half where our player was smashed to the ground with no attempt on the ball. Also since when is a deliberate double shirt pull back after being beaten by the winger not a yellow? The real issue with the A-League this season has been the incessant butchering and clear reds not given. Its been a hack's paradise so far. We're not innocent in this BTW.

Its been claimed that all CFG teams must play the same way. Every game. IF that is true, does JVS have any option but to play the same way every game? Not defending the guy AT ALL but just trying to understand his comment about a work in progress

Any shots on target? You'll be back...they always come back

Wait till his up against Zullo, or even Jamieson. As soon as Franjic is fit Muscat will be on the bench. He's not very good with the ball at his feet, not fast and I don't think I've seen him overlap and get a ball in to the opposition box. I thought Retre could've been the back up to Franjic at RB so I don't know why Muscat was bought in.

Victory offers- or did-a "buy back" scheme where the reserve seat owner can sell it back to the club in advance and the club can then make that seat available for purchase.

Good to see he's kicked on after the start in the game we gave him. Could make it In Europe one day, even play for Barcelona- yes he is that good!

Not a fan of the "Shit Fornaroli" chant directed at Berisha, I know what its meant to mean, but it sounds like we're calling our captain shit.

I think thats all out of JVS's hands with this group of players and the culture of success demanded by CFG. Kilkenny isn't looking to kill team mates because of JVS, Brandan isn't taking his shirt off beacsue of JVS. JVS has zero influence of Cahill's desire to compete. JVS was needed when he had players who were comfortable to "win if we win, lose if we lose". If anything JVS was one of them, happy to milk the owners as the most expensive coach in the League. Signs are he acutely feels the pressure of performing under the CFG brand as much as anyone.

^^^ Don't tell me: "Little Engine That Could" was your favourite book and you sang at the top of you lungs "Little Red Caboose" in grade 1.

if you to profile the Heart supporter it would be the "under dog" mentality. its been a huge cultural challenge supporting the AFL Premiers. Once you win, others hate you, so its all good again.

The number 1 criteria for the FFA is profit. The Age reckons its because AAMI was half the rent of Sydney that got Melborune over the line. So if profit is the motivator, you might get more going with cheaper prices, but profit might be less,many General Admission are concessions/students anyway. They would've done the maths- 12k might make more money than 20k of cheap tickets AAMi stadium rental was half of Sydeny stadium rental. End of discussion.

Is that not Cahill's role at least as much?
