A-League Final Series - Who lifts the toilet Seat?

First week: Brisbane vs Bes & MooyBruno City vs Glory.

Hoping for Roar 3-0

One way traffic so far.

I think you're right. They are a rabble tonight.

0-0, Roar riding their luck for most of that half.

Slippery Fish on early.

Roar finally showing signs of life.

I am trying to get on a stream in a hotel in Osaka, Japan, any workable links?

You feel the quake? Hope all is ok for you and those around you.

Thanks for caring - I am really touched, seriously.

The quake was quite far away from Osaka, literally hundreds of kms south from here, on the island of Kyushyu.

However, the TV news I've just seen show very familiar scenes, after all I live in Christchurch.

There is considerable damage, but quite localised, and away from any large (by Japanese standards) population centres.

about 20 people are confirmed dead, and there are quite a few damaged buildings, with some wooden buildings thrown to bits.

I hope it is not a sign of something worse to come. Fingers crossed. Now if only the Roar would score an 89th minute winner.

Second yellow for Geria, Victory down to 10 men. 0-0

FFA 1 Roar 0.

Oh eff off, Berisha scores 0-1

Omg, yesssssss!!!! 1-1

Broich!!! 2-1

That's what I call good value for money

For the first 60 mins Roar were rubbish but long before Melbourne were down to 10 thet seemed to get their game together. Stupid yellow for kicking the ball away, but that is how it goes. 

If Roar can play 90 mins like they played the last 30, then they will be in with a chance.

can't see anyone shedding a tear for Kevin or Berisha

Berisha - loser!

Put my normal TAB bet on the team I want to lose (FFA-Berisha FC) - Winner, I donated money to some other persons win pot.

A bit worrying that Finkler showed his soft centre again by not challenging for that header. Final minutes of the game and that is the kind of challenge he produces..

Think that we've seen the best of Finkler in the A-League already, really hope i'm wrong. Can anyone think of an import that changed club that was successful? Flores who failed, who else?

Joel Griffiths

I hardly think Berisha failed. He played 76 games for Roar with 48 goals and 54 games for Victory with 33 goals.

I can't think of anyone else off the top of my head. Rojas maybe if you count him as an import

Berisha is a good one; though Brisbane wanted to keep him more than MV seemingly wanted to keep Finkler.

Also good point that most good imports don't move becuase they are valued by their club.

Lots of variables - whether he settles properly, fits into the team structure etc; am a little worried if he's our marquee signing though. 

No, you said he and Kosta failed.

Can anyone think of an import that changed club that was successful? Not failed.

Perhaps learn to read before you go about pouring words in other peoples mouths.

Please play nicely, everyone.

There was only one question, which was "Can anyone think of an import that changed [from a] club that was successful." Then the example given was "Flores who failed". And then the question was restated "Who else [changed from a club that was successful]?

The way I read it Valeo wasn't asking for examples of imports that moved clubs and failed, because that wasn't the point, he's looking to see if there is an precedent of Gui not being a dud.
