Adelaide United FC Thread

Glad that the third placed team in the league got the place.

Will only be for a season though as I am guessing the FFA Cup winner will get the third spot the season after.

In the event a state league based team wins the FFA cup I wonder if they would be allowed to compete in the ACL?

That'd be a sight. Seeing the likes of Adelaide City or South Melbourne in the ACL. Wonder if they'd have to take their matches in one of the A-league stadiums?

 

[Seriously]

Am I missing something here, is there actually gonna be a FFA cup next year??

 

[that_dood]

It is expected to start in March for the rounds with the lower leagues, with A-League clubs to join later in the comp.

So apparently Super Dario has a broken back. ****ing hell

 

[Greasyrhys]

Someone at our club has run over at least one black cat, whoever it is PLEASE stop it!

Anyway, I'm hoping to go to our next away game (victory at ES) on December 10 and I'm wondering if anyone on here is a member of the Red Army. Its because I asked the club reception today about buses organised by supporters, and told me to ask someone from the Red Army about it.

If anyone could PM any details about the 'Red Army Bus(es)' to me would be greatly appreciated.

Dario is fine... he'll be back in 3 weeks.

Also, I'm tempted to throw on the boots as an emergency replacement for the Reds

I would imagine so, there would be minimum requirements for ACL games and what not. Where do Adelaide City play these days? Did you follow them in the NSL days? I remember that absolutely nobody was supporting them and when they folded and Adelaide United started up the crowds multiplied by a factor of 6 overnight

Rini needs to go.

We're playing shocking football, qualitatively and tactically, and he's recruited mostly duds.

Followed is a strong word. I knew they existed, but didn't really wanna go and see them play. Plus me dad wouldn't take me then either.

If I'd have to pick a team in the state comp here, it's one of Western Strikers (because I played for them for a season) or White City, just for the fact that their gound is a five minute walk away from my house.

In a turn of fortunes we've received a direct entry into the Group Stage of the Asian Champions League. Group to be drawn shortly. Asia, here we come again!

Huzzah!

 

[Ray Nolan]

We're in Group E with Gamba Osaka, Bunyodkor and the winner of the playoff between Pohang Steelers & the Thai FA Cup winner.

Wow, that's a very tough group!

 

[Zidane98]

What was the score last time you played Gamba Osaka?

Don't remind me. 3-0 L at their place and a 2-0 L at Hindmarsh (5-0 agg loss)

 

[PortBrillance]

It's 2008 all over again! So keen for this group, even though it's the group of death

It was actually a 1-0 loss in the Club World Cup so thats not to bad. I was only heart broken because if we won that we would have played Manchester United

 

[Greasyrhys]

Just hope that GO have a weaker squad then their 'all star' team of 2008. Thank F$&@ Pucas Isn't at that club anymore. When we play them, we MUST keep 'Innuendo' quiet!

Seems like you guys often get thrashed in Grand Finals

 

[Schulzenfest]

What was the score the last time Melbourne Victory were in the AFC Champions League final or the Club World Cup?

 

[DonDraper]

Barbiero! Melbourne are such a hateable side. Bunch of *****
