Kick off held up as a hole (seemingly from old goal posts or something) in the goal mouth needs to get filled

It's like watching an NSL game.

Three for me, and two for them.

That was a very good save from a so-so shot just then from Kennedy.

And I was going to say the stadium reminds me a bit of the 'Ring of Dirt' but with a grass bank instead of the small side seating (and obviously the ring + barbed wire fences).

The commentators were saying that it's free entry and they put on buses for the supporters to get up there... sounds like it would be pretty decent so I wouldn't be suprised if the crowds not that sh*t

Yawn fest.

Maybe if the jets learnt to shoot or heart could finish those two point blanks this game would be interesting

1-0 Heart. Goal to Kalmar-Brunton Poll. Gorgeous scissor-kickish-thingy finish.

shockingly boring game with one unbelievable goal... that I missed. Typical.

How the hell did Elrich avoid getting a card for that foul? Babalj is free on goal, Elrich practically rugby tackles him.

In saying that, it probably wasn't a penalty either - initial contact looked outside the box.

Enjoyed the easy-listening music during the Fury-GCU match-formation previews.

Maybe, but doesn't the law state something to the effect that if the last man commits a foul to prevent a clear goal scoring opportunity he should be sent off? At least a yellow surely.
 
The ref must've just felt sorry for him.

1. Cricket.
2. Sub standard surface.
3. Basin Reserve Trust's lack of interest in upgrading the facilities - most of it is old/run down.
4. No lights (apparently compulsory for WOF)
5. No parking.

Just off the top of my head.

Fuck this stupid game

Yeah the idea of having a game there is good but when you know the logistics it seams quite unlikely.

Those long raking passes of Talay's are top notch. Hopefully this is the sort of thing Elliottt will bring to the Phoenix.

I'm kind of surprised to hear the ground sound system blaring out music while the ball is in play. Is this allowed? Sets a nasty precedent. What next, the bull roar?

Had to laugh when I heard the Jets have gone there 6 times and haven't scored a goal yet!
 
The residents of Port McQuarrie must be super excited when they come to town...
