good evening

i have just returned from jack edwards reserve oakleigh. the night was chilly with a strong northerly. despite the artic conditions, it was the FNQHFC team with the early running. they were big lads too. quick, agile and full of purpose. their centre halves were commanding as oakleigh cannons sc simply played long balls that they ate up. in fact it was the northerners who really dominated the first half. 0-0 HT.

after the interval OCSC came out firing, and matched it. although smaller they came out with intensity and started maintaining some of the play. thoroughly entertaining. former a-league players in steve pantalidis and danning were ok but overshadowed by their less famous mates. for the heat, it was number 17, left winger who was fast and pacy. he moved so quickly across the pitch and was threatening.
0-0 FT

3 mins into extra time a lovely free kick by oakleigh sub. pearrrlllerrr!!! 1-0 to the home team which gave warmth to all in attendance hoping for a quick ending in the freezing temps. but in the 119th min a heartbreaker as a semi docile shot from outside the box took a bobbly bounce and through and over the hands of the oakleigh captain and keeper. heartbreak.

penalties ensued and oakleigh one.

Round of 16 draw to be revealed today at 4pm.

Last night I found to be pretty uninspiring, despite the two penalty shoot-outs.

The FFA Cup just doesn't have the same appeal when two A-League clubs play each other, especially in the early rounds.

 

[Great8]

Adelaide United v Sydney FC
Melbourne City v Wellington
Heidelberg v Sydney Utd
Hume City v Sydney Olympic
Metrostars v Oakleigh
Lions v Perth
Rockdale v Melbourne Victory
Palm Beach v WSW

I haven't properly seen Rockdale's ground but is it compliant to host an A-League side?
It's due to lux levels it's different to hosting non professional sides.

Yeah. Rockdale have hosted Sydney FC and the Jets before and its turned great. But it now looks like were going to shift the game from the Ilinden Sports Centre to Win Jubilee Oval so that more people can come and the sides can have a better hit out than what they could have at the ISC.

I'll be going, hopefully send the Sydney campaigners and more importantly their ****head manager packing.

 

[Steven Gerrard]

Not too fussed that to date MV have yet to play a home game. Rather play clubs from lower leagues, helps increase their profile hopefully it expands the MV brand too. Some of the Tigers players are members of the Cove. Hopefully, but I doubt it, after playing the MV these Cove Tigers players now have some sort of closet love for MVFC.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Can't wait for tonight's match at Hindmarsh.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Should beat Sydney with ease tonight looking at the two squads for the game. You never know in these cup games though.

 

[tigs2010]

Grant scored a cracker for Sydney. Perth down to 10 men but luckily saved the pen

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Aww. I wanna see the MC match now. 3-0 against Wellington.
