Deluka Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Socceroos playing in Sydney on 11th, probably fair to say that we’ll be without Jmac, Leckie and potentially Metcalfe for this match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know why we can't get this sort of thing sorted once and for all. I can't see why an FFA Cup match has to be locked in to a particular date. Of course it's fair that NT duties take precedence, but why not move the FFA Cup match to the Monday following, or the Friday following? It wouldn't materially affect the competition, whereas losing three of our starting XI will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socceroos are due to play away to China the following Tuesday (Nov 16) so watch this space for whose selected - remember the a league starts Nov 18th @jw1739 the start of the league season is probably why we can't delay, particularly with other Socceroos games in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluka Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hopefully they take play Maclaren and Leckie against Saudi but leave them in AUS for China match. I don’t even know what the VIC quarantine rules are anymore, can’t keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why buying tickets in Australia has to be so hard is beyond me. Our systems are user unfriendly. I can book a hotel room in Europe more easily than buy a ticket to the football here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deluka Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Leckie, Nabbout & Macca out of this fixture - all called up for Socceroos and you'd think are all in serious doubt for round 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 I don’t give Hellas much chance in this. Nothing against them. It’s Dan’s lockdown. As semi pros they wouldn’t have been able to train, let alone play and will be very rusty as a result. They’ll be doing well to get within 3 goals I reckon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Of course we should win easily, but the weather could play a huge part in this match. Rain and maybe a soggy pitch - this is where differences in skill levels don't matter nearly as much. It ain't over until the fat lady sings.

Deluka Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 Can see this playing out similar to the WSW vs. Broadmeadow last night, would expect South to lift more for this fixture though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the same issues with ground conditions in Australia, apart from hard grounds, but in my (now distant) youth, bumpy and muddy pitches were always a great leveller in the FA Cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 Kinda hoping for a close match honestly, an easy 3 or 4 goal win will be a bit boring honestly. Regardless, just so keen for football to finally be back!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommykins Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 For those of you who want to keep an eye out for players who are likely to be good for Souths. Harry Sawyer - He'll be the tallest barstad on the pitch by a long way, played a few times for the Jets and scores absolute bags of goals at lower levels as a general rule. Brad Norton - Longest serving current player for Souths, Left Back, Captain and is someone I was always a bit surprised didn't a look in at A-League level but always seems to be a very solid citizen for Souths. Gerrie Sylaidos - Ex City player who will likely come off the bench, I think, had a good start to the NPL campaign last year as an impact player. Souths were awful to start the NPL last year, so it'll be interesting to see what kind of shape they're in for this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
