A-League 20/21 The Other Matches Thread

Deflected shot and the Glory leads,  1-2. Adelaide were in control of this game but have thrown it away, disappointing

Some pretty dodgy defending on display.

Raises the question of the relative strength of the NSW 'conference' v the Rest of Oz 'conference'. 

Only one cross-conference game so far (CCM 3 M City 2)

Mauk came across as a bit of a dick head in that half time interview. Surprised he is Adelaide's captain, bit of a hot head on the field too. Can't see them going far with his leadership. Would have thought Juric would be a better pick for C.

The 63% possession Perth had does not suggest Adelaide were in control.

JBS starts for the Roar, looking forward to see how he has developed over the last few years post Nix.

DWH puts Roar 1-0 up. Not sure about Crocombe's keeping technique there

You'd like your keeper to save that but I don't know if it's quite the howler Harper's making out. He's smashed it from 7 yards after all.

2-0 now. MV staring down the barrel of a hiding.

McDonald makes it 2-0. Victory's defense is an utter shambles

Oh dear, utter shambles indeed!

Danzaki!! 3-0

So it's going to be another one of these goal a minute games?

3-1

LLL claws one back, 3-1

Lovely play there from JBS, just couldn't finish.

McDonald is lovin it, 4-1

That's as poor a 45 mins of football as I've ever seen from a MV side.

Yet weirdly they are still in it!

Brimmer with a free kick just before half time,  4-2

Brisbane's defence is not that great either.

Danzaki again, 5-2

Roux should have scored

what's with this Brisbane team?

lol- quote'it doesn't matter if it's an accident or not, it looked like Ryan Shoten clipped Wenzel-Halls.

IIRC, CCM v City midweek was the first meeting between the NSW and Non-NSW conferences. Kinda get the feeling that the NSW Conference is far stronger atm. Am I alone in thinking this? 

Seems to have been a pattern across the league so far.

NZ u17 rep Keegan Jelacic on for his debut

[Edit: My bad, only 5]

Cool and congrats to young Jelacic. Cap tie him ASAP.............emphasis on the Possible

Macarthur take the lead, 1-0

NSW Conference: 14 Games, 31 goals scored 

Crossover games: 2 Games, 8 goals scored (1 win a piece) 

Non-NSW Conference: 14 Games, 49 goals scored

Poor Federeci, he had no chance. Great work by Dorrans, 1-1

Macarthur retakes the lead from a corner, 2-1

How did WSW not score? Amazing stuff

That was crazy!

What a goal by WSW, 2-2

Assist of the century.

Jets score but an offside ROD is ruled to have interfered with the Keeper. I don't think he saves it even if ROD isn't there tbh

Agreed. Jets a bit unlucky imo.

Different scenario but the recent tinkering with the offside rule is throwing up all sorts of weird variations lately.

This time!
