We're not getting any information flow, we're playing poorly and COVID is rampant - why bother and why take the risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The striker has scored more goals against Western Sydney than any other team he’s faced and has netted seven goals in his five meetings with the Wanderers as a City player.

Nate Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 It's incredible to think our last A-League match was the scintillating 2-2 derby draw which captivated the league's fans as a whole and yet now, we're going into this match with about as much momentum as a half-baked Corolla. Idk if I can be arsed either, personally. Crazy, crazy shit times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted January 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 I'm not surprised. In those three weeks the COVID situation has changed dramatically, and irrespective of the reasons, our result against Wellington was very disappointing. The drop-off number of contributions to this Forum has also been very noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fensaddler Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 It's a bloody weird time. I'd made all the home matches up to the derby, and went to the South Melbourne cup tie. Missed the derby due to COVID caution and an aversion to the close company of ferals, and ever since the world has gone to hell in a handcart. Went into the CBD for an art exhibition yesterday, and the city felt apocalyptically weird. Got the hell out once we'd been to the show and felt thoroughly spooked by the atmosphere. Had the expected message from work yesterday to work from home next week. We all know people who've had, or got, COVID. I still don't know whether I will go tomorrow. Would normally be a no brainer but these are scary times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a story somewhere where just one man votes in the USA(?) elections because the computers can work out the national voting pattern from his answers. Maybe you're the "crowd" for this match... Edit: The story is "Franchise" by Isaac Asimov. I was a big fan of his at one stage. Edited January 8, 2022 by jw1739 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovan Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Last few days was fully committed to go this arvo for the double header, but woke up today with a gut feeling of staying in. No paticular reason but just a nagging feeling of best to stay home. Probably over cautious but I've learnt to trust my gut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakz7 Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 The other lot only drew a crowd of 7k yesterday so there could easily be only 2-3k in attendance for our game tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's only two who are under 60 so for the rest it just isn't worth it. It's not only the match, it's using PT as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 I have no fear of going cause of covid, I'm going to catch it eventually. I'm not going cause it's 6.45 on a Sunday night. Fuck me there is no other games on today and it's 24 degrees, surely they could have moved the women forward to 2pm and the men to 4.30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted January 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 It is indeed a stupid KO time. It's why I've said elsewhere that IMO the League needs to focus on getting spectators back in stadiums. It is all very well to crap on about digital platforms, but most of the attraction of the game lies in the participation of the live crowd actually there. I'm not suggesting that the push into the digital market should be abandoned, but matches played in empty stadiums will not sustain the league. In terms of COVID a little bit of thought regarding car-parking, entry and seating could make our normal attendance in a 30,000-seat stadium as COVID-safe as a visit to the local shopping centre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be the number one objective and seen to be so in everything you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr MO Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) Can Leckie please score a goal.

Jovan Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Leckie better this half. Obviously from a very low point, but maybe just maybe this is the half he actually plays to the level we expect. I see us smashing them in the second. 5:2 in coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so critical for a winger to make that move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a beast, more than Nabbout IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the awareness as well, constantly gets caught out by players around him, as he had no idea opponents were remotely near him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
