The round ball game
Awesome eh Blackers. Thoroughly enjoying this. Great to see Heyman absolutely dominating at 35 y//o. Legend. And Mary just doing what Mary does.
Hopefully a record is broken in the second half!
btw. Love the Rass. Don't mind seeing her injected into the side after the half for a good dose of speed. One of my faves.
Make that 10 nil. Sound result.
Ripper @blackers ;-)
For all the silly white barstards,A league Mens and women's are getting towards final half dozen or so games in the race for Premiers plates.Over the weekend the 2nd placers both won and in Mens it took the centralCoasties to top of the ladder,In Women's 2nd beat 1st to narrow the gap to 2 points.
In Mungo ball the mighty SAINTS(11 in a row, never before, never again) sit top of the ladder( wont stay there too long but wont get the WOODy either).
A league women's first past post(premiers) melbourneCity.sydneeeeFC bottled it in last game which they had to win(lost 4-0) but still came 2nd.Playoffs soon to decide which teams play these 2 in sem..eyeFinals
A league mens have 5/6 games to go .Wellington 3 points ahead of central coast, forget the rest ..these 2 are by far the most consistent.
7/45 TenBold..Sydney derby tonight, it will be hard fought with both teams needing a win to consolidate a place in playoffs...I favour FC as they have been more consistent after a terrible start and bringing in a new coach who has done a good job so far...
Both teams are robbed of 2 GOOD players each who are on olympic team duty @ Asian Cup in Qatar....FC have the better replacements but its THE derby and 3rd of the season with one win each...A draw wont surprise me and Yellow and RED cards come out in this fixture....looks like a 30K crowd and the RIOT SQUAD will be there...Active support require wristbands as well...thats to identify the naughties who go to the wrong end and cause BOVVER!
Well yesterday concluded the A league mens premiership rounds bar a catch up game on Wednesday night that will decide first place and the premiers(first past post).At present Wellington PhoeNIX are a point in front of central Coasties mariners who play Adelaide at Gosford and require a point(draw) or 3(win) to win the premiership.If Adelaide win, the NIX win the premiership plate.
T he top 6 playoffs begin next weekend with a Melbourne Derby, Victory host City and In Sydneeee its home advantage to FC versus the MacArthur Bull shitters.Losers get ready for mad Monday.NIX and Coasties play the winners over home and away legs to decide the teams in the grand final.
The A league Women's GF is Melb City versus Syd FC in Melbourne this Saturday arvo at Aami park.
Gosford on Wednesday night will be a big atmosphere with Adelaides Irakunda last game in A league before he joins Bayern Munich in Bundesliga next season.

All. good, bluey. ..
Womens GF kicks off. 4.15pm Sat Arvo...should be on TenBold
Tonights game in Gosford is 7pm start. Its on Paramount plus(a pretty crap streaming service)
Mens elimination Semis are on TenBold...7/45 Saturday night and 5pm Sunday afternoon are the times
Highlights of the Premiership decider.
A League Women's Final
Melbourne City (vs) Sydney FC
2nd Half underway...10 Bold
Congratulations to Sydneeee FC winners of the ALW Championship grand final.
BUT, a SUPER congratulations to the CCoast Mariners.WINNERS of the Asian club CUP and the A$ 2.3 million.
That's two trophies in less than a week for CCM, a team with no stars just hard working Tryers who never give in.One player who is marginal in the Australian squad.
Saturday nights RED card to a McArrfa player certainly killed their chances in the first elimination game for A league men.FC ended up 4-0 winners.The red card rule at times is highly ?????
Yesterdays Melbourne Derby was a CRACKA...Victory had a RED around 30 mins, so when full time came at 90+ injury time some pretty tired boys.
Score was tied at 1-1 which meant another 15mins each way THEN penalties if it was still even...
THE SHOOTOUT was extraordinary .Paul IZZO(after saving a penalty in the first half of normal time) rose to the occasion and made himself an A league legend.SAVED 3 dotshots to give Victory the VICTORY!...Never before in an A league penalty shoot out has there been 3 saves in the regular set of 5 kicks to each team.
So the Mens A league now moves into the 2 legged Home/AWAY(wont be a soap opera!) semi finals.
Friday night at Alliance its FC v Mariners...7pm..Fourth versus first on ladder
Sunday arvo around 3ish at AAMI its Victory versus Wellington phoeNIX...3rd versus 2nd on ladder.
So its down to the 4 best teams to play for the DunnySeat(some shit could go down along the way).
A nutty goal to win it!
thanx for tip offs quadzilla...watched all that...
100% agree that Goalie Paul Izzo landed in space craft from another planet.
Already saves &/or slots penalties before their even taken...No Claim bonus & not a flinch!
Crime to say he saved them when he owned the whole Stadium & Shoot Out...Mine...Got this!
Like Pacman...Gobbles everything up....Run Run...
'You can all do that other thing that ya wanna do...'
First time tbb cried for Penalty Takers...who's game enough...'please, don't pick me coach!'
Chix A league Grom Indiana Dos Santos puts thru ball of the season...OMG!
https://www.facebook.com/10FootballAU/videos/shea-connors-scores-for-syd...
'Shea Conners on the break > calling > pointing for a Ball over the top...'
(Then all hear the sweetest Sound ever heard on a park...)
'It's great Pass from Dos Santos...' ( Curling ahead of Defender & draws out Top Goalie wide...)
(Pitch Perfect feeds the Aukus Yank Sub > One Strike! Finals Goal for the Ages...The Winner!
US Fighter Pilot Flyover > Then Camera cuts back to teen Indiana...The Real Star!
'And What an assist to play her in...from 16 y'o Indiana'
'It's a delightful assist from Indiana'
Sure was...Play of the Season...Salute the Grom!
That's Football at it's finest...gotta step it up for the gig game...that's what the fans paid to see!
Bluey its a shame the W A league is so poorly attended when the Matildas sell out weeks before (but they are flavour of the season in recent times...)
In Europe, they do much better crowdwise thats why most of our big stars are over there.
BTW, supposed to be 2 new teams in Mens A league next season...Auckland are definately coming in...They are owned by the Yank who own Bournemouth in the EPL
Canberra too, but details are scarce on them
A league action tomorrow starts in NZ...4/30 tomorrow(sat) arvo
NIX v Melbourne Viccos...2nd leg and aggregate stands 0-0,,,both teams haven't lost much but home crowd could get Wellington over the line.Melbourne have their best player suspended.
IN GOSFORD, @ 7/45 Sauce bottle stadium should be heaving...Every dog and their humans will rock up...Mariners are up 2-1 on aggregate and Sydney FC dont have their best player.
Right now Mariners are reigning Champions( from winning GF last season) reigning premiers( first past post this season) and 2 weeks ago won the Asian Club Cup and they have achieved this on the lowest budget in the comp.
Soccah is unpredictable but it will take something extraordinary for the two home teams not to meet in the GF.
The highest placed winner hosts GF, so Sydney FC finishing 4th cant host.
Early Monday morning 1 am east coast time, the Pommy premier league plays their last round...
ManCity are 2 points ahead of Arsenal and both at home against mediocre teams.Liverpool cant be beaten for ThURD spot with Villa in 4th.
Tottering Cold SpursY currently 5th after bottling the chance to get 4th mid week.Lotsa spice in North London...SpursY fans supporting against their team because they didnt want Arsenal to have a better chance of winning the league. SpursY coach Ange Lose alot Lou abusing fans(from sideline during game) for abusing him, then going to the press conferences and saying everything smells at SpursY club...Too much Souvlaki influence might be the reason?
6th 7th 8th Chelsea,NewyUnited and ManUP united are likely to finish in that order.
Back on A league...News from WestSydney Wandering minstrel is that MarkoRudan coach has opted out so he can care for his ill mother.Hes got a middle of the road record so thats a shame for Westys And WayneBennet wont be applying for the job!Hes going South.
BIG NEWS is a marquee player, captain of McARFFA Bullshotters...Ulyseees Davila is being charged as part of a match fixing scheme.I dont know much about it but I bet on games so,hes probably cost me...KOONT!
Some big exhibition games coming up in Melbourne too...TotteringColdSpursy are playing Newcastle Brown united...EPL top end teams...Newcastle also play a A league ALL stars Mens selection and Arsenal women's team will be playing A league women's ALL stars...the Arsenal women have 3 Matilda players amongst them..
A league games are on TenBold
Exciting times. I watched the Mariners at Allianz stadium last week and I’m going again tomorrow. They looked much better than Sydney FC but everything is still open. Let’s see what happens.
Reckon the Macarthur FC betting scandal story will have legs. Takes some of the gloss off.

Its a shame for the game...but some humans are crooked...
Ive just recently read who the 2 players the Mexican bribed...almost fell over(even though I was sitting down)...I know the younger bro of one of them...He would be very embarrassed and concerned.I'm not going to ask him anything about the incident because he probably doesn't know.I reckon he would be in shock.

Half your luck, enjoy...Mariners dont have any so called big stars but they never stop trying and are great to watch.
Probably not big with the SN crew, but this guy is the real deal. With UK 1.5 Billion pounds on the pitch (Liverpool v City, great game also) he totally shone
