2026 Australia Cup final rounds thread

A 1,600 crowd at Frank Mitchell suggests that more in Adelaide care about minor ethnic local football than in many other places.

Fixed that for ya.

as i said, it had the makings of being a dangerous match for the sport as a whole in terms of what could've happened. Nothing did and thats that

and you are right the albanian's in SA when it comes to football have made a name for themselves for the wrong reasons, they've been thrown out the amature leagues 2-3 times and when there players have gone to other clubs they tend to get sent off for fighting or bad tackles.

even last night there were elements at the ground that could've seen it become dangerous.

*the players celebrating the victory in front of the home end, i fully get given the emotion of a big win - but so so stupid, as you saw with the melee at the end.
*albanians chanting - again fans are entilted to chant, but ethnic chants against a serbian backed side at there own ground? very risky.
* supporters going wild when scoring, nothing wrong with that but shaking security hoardings and inparticular climbing fencing 20 foot fencing? all it would've taken was for an over zealous security guard or official to yank them down and kick them out the match for a huge brawl to start

i know there were incidents on the albanians march to the actual ground, reports of multiple flares & bins being knocked over (not major). Again nothing major

Ah yes, those "primitive" Albanians just won't assimilate:(

Beograd were poor last night, currently sitting 4th in SA NPL i thought they would easily beat a team coming 2nd last in VPL 2 in Victoria.

many players out or?

Again, worth remembering they beat Avondale and really pushed Preston the other day. Clearly a strong cup team/a different prospect than in the league for whatever reason

was a good crowd, but again only because of the background of the 2 clubs. Beograd would kill to have half that number turn up each saturday when they play

I never said anyone was primitive or called out different groups for a failure to assimilate.

All I did was state which of the 2 clubs sets of fans 'behaved' themselves last night. As i said earlier, that all in at the end of the match only happened because opposition players celebrated in front of the home end support
