A-League Mens 25/26 - Round 7

[NoMates]

30 minute delay in Gosford.

I’m not watching the game, Wots the hold up and score?

Hope that rain also hits Koolewong fires.

Storm. Women's game scheduled before postponed due to heat.

Whacky substitute teacher energy

Those were the best lessons. Had a Canadian come into geography and just tells us how money worked for an hour.

22,993 @ Auckland. Solid.

After seeing tweets of empty stands. Clearly taken 2 hours before to create a false narrative.

I missed the pregame narrative due to watching the championship replay
where is okon? Dropped or injured?

That midfield looks crazy unbalanced lol

Injured

An hour before kick off and it is 31 Celsius. Not too bad, and too low for the drinks breaks.

No it was not. It was 38 degrees at kick-off.

Injured

long term?

Al-Hassan Touré proving he's European quality (maybe somewhere like Ferencváros like Daniel Arzani or Rapid Vienna like Noah Botić).

Can anyone who referees tell me how the added-time displayed by the 4th official is determined? Does the 4th official have a stop watch they use throughout the half to determine the extent to which time was lost for injuries, substitutions or time wasting.

I cannot figure out how the added time in the Newcastle v City game was 6 mins. There were two drinks breaks in the half and multiple times play was stopped for player injuries (in addition to the normal number of substitutions). I appreciate it was so f*&king hot that no one cared and just wanted to go home (inc. Jets players and fans), but I just want to know what the actual process is.

I like Al Hassan and think he can come good but he’s definitely not ready to go back to Europe

 

[grazorblade]

quintal has been electric today, finally delivering on the hype

 

[HonestSpursFan]

We're on fire right now (pun intended or not, take your pick)!

It was nothing of the sort.

Brisbane vs Adelaide Sunday night

 

[AUFC_Fan]

Got to love Brisbane targeting Yaya and the ref letting them get away with it

Both teams want to tear each other apart

 

[AUFC_Fan]

One team definitely more than the other. The foul count is testament to that

And yet there was the blatant kick on O'Shea's standing leg from behind that also went unnoticed early on. Ball gone and just nasty.

It is a spiteful, ugly game and neither side is the dirtier. Not good watching as far as I am concerned and for my side the lack of composure and control is a worry. Belligerence is not a substitute for intensity.

On the football, Adelaide are the better side in attacking combinations; building so well time and again.

Roar proving to be a little better on the scrappy goal attack side.

Fairly even in the overall game context and both hitting woodwork.

Roar defensively upset by losing our good attacking DM in the warmup and I don't think Ludwik is a good replacement for Valkanis in CB or Valkanis a good replacement for Stajic in DM. Pretty sure Valkanis was the one who gave the ball to an Adelaide forward when his pass was under hit.

I would hope the game settles in the second half but I can't see either team backing off so it will be stupidity and aggression for the another 45 minutes.
