jw1739 Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 The first of what I see as two defining matches going into the remainder of the season, both ACL and A-League. Must-win as far as I am concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imtellingyou Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 It seems like a good day for watching live the game. I would rather see a good contested 1 nil win than another one directional romp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovan Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Can't make this one. Midweek games just too hard. I'm thinking this is another indication how idiotic Paramount plus is. I get the fixture congestion and was mainly for circumstances beyond their control, but they basically dictate fixturing. Why would they fixture a game Midweek that would probably draw a crowd of 3k to 4k max when a weekend game should be around 7 or 8k. At the end of the day, why are they pushing to complete the season at a paticular date, its not like the off season isn't long enough to use a few weeks for catch up games. Why do they fixture games like last weekend simultaneously, Sydney derby and tards vs inbreds, both are decent stand alone fixtures. My only conclusion is they don't give a fuck about attendances and the only factor is subscriptions. Maybe to them thats all that matters and the model they work on is how many they lock into subscriptions. Very disappointed at Paramount, and the most disappointing thing is I feel stupid because I genuinely felt they could transform the game, they came in with alot of cash relatively speaking and have produced a big steaming turd.

Well my friend, once you sell your soul to the screen devil this is what you will get. Big leagues such as the EPL can afford to do it because the product is top-class and so there will always be sufficient demand such that the stadiums are going to be full or nearly so. That is not the case with a product such as the A-League. The owners of big clubs can do the same thing - sell out to wealthy individuals or despotic regimes in the Middle East, and despite the protests of local fans there will always be sufficient demand for their stadiums to be full. IMO you have to look beyond Paramount, and who has led us into this. Paramount only ever had one objective and that was to make a buck from a deal. I don't see anyone from within the game, e.g. the clubs themselves or APL, making the points you make - hey, why are we cramming all the matches into this short time period, why do we have these lousy K.O. times and midweek matches when we know that they are not convenient for many of our fans, and etc. etc. I didn't have a lot of time for the Lowy regime, but I can't forget Steven Lowy's comment "Be careful what you wish for."

I'm at the game and there is 1.5k tops with 4min to go. Probably will get to 2k. Oh well! I'll enjoy the game with my 4yr old.

Nate Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Bos is literally a left-sided Atkinson minus the aggro. Huge potential and genuine competition for Jamo. I reckon that was our most dominant opening half this season. Sydney just spent 45 minutes chasing 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofhearts Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) Bos has been a breath of fresh air into the team. I love Jamo but theres no way that you could drop bos on current form. Completely dominating the game atm, just need to be a bit more clinical in our final third Edited April 6, 2022 by kingofhearts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see how Tilio goes. Gomulka has played the Metcalfe role when used, especially lately as a sub. Metcalfe dropping back has worked well previously whenever O'Neill has been unavailable and allows us to get Tilio on which is usually a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
