At this stage, no childish meltdowns from me, but this is City and our backline has been utter dog Doo this season.

Be nice if we could actually flog a team like 5 zip again. I miss those stress free games

Aren't you currently up 2-0?

Yes but since Kisnorbo left, you would be surprised how many 2 goal leads we have pissed away.

Since Vidmar is a massive upgrade on Rada I suppose.

Yeah I think I can finally start to relax and enjoy the rest of the game stress/anxiety free now

4-0.

The ironic thing (and most alarming for Brisbane) is i don't think in midfield and general play we played all that well, I honestly thought we were better in that department to Wellington away a few weeks ago (which was a loss)

Still who am I to complain about a 6-1 lead though? Lovely end of year/Christmas gift to us Melbourne fans

Roar probably want to start thinking about lining up a suitably qualified replacement coach asap, not to take away anything from City's strong & methodical performance tonight.

Can't help but think Ross Aloisi did bit of a dog act on them, leaving when he did in those circumstances.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Makes the Reds loss to the raw 18 days ago so much worse

 

[giggler99]

8-1 what a thrashing! Roar have hit the pits!

 

[AJ_2000]

That finishing from the City boys has been coming all year, been a number of games where we've created good chances and don't finish.

Leo Natel starting to find the net should hopefully open the floodgates for him. He's quality and can be a great import.

 

[madjoe]

roar looked to have no system at all in the midfield which makes sense swapping coach but the left back and right back looked dreadful .
really liked slim shady on the wing for city.he worked hard to get back in defence and offered a lot marin jakolis,

Hey guys, as someone who knows very little about the A-League, can someone explain to me why 10th placed Sydney are $1.75 favourites to win against top of the table Wellington today?
I mean, sure they're at home, but these odds seem really weird considering where both teams are placed at the moment?

It's almost like odds don't have any bearing on a sporting contest.

Again, there's a whole punting board for this shit.

I wouldn't say they have no bearing, or else bookies would be out of business pretty quickly.

Yep, I bet the players and coaches are engrossed in them.

Not quite sure what you're on about.

Probably taking into account international travel for the Nix, the fact that the Nix's old coach is coaching Sydney now (and given them a form boost) and Wellington haven't scored more than 2 goals in an away game

Long story short? Never bet on the A-League, because who the hell knows what will happen here

I am not a punter at all, just genuinely curious why Sydney are such strong favourites

 

[Pacman82]

Total Dog act, should have been a Red card!

 

[SM]

Gee almost as if the odds got it right..

 

[Andonis1997]

Booooooo
