Round 6

F3 Derby followed by the Big Blue. Should be a cracking night of football ahead

How often have we heard the sentence "Should've scored, Nick Fitzgerald" in the last few seasons? Another one goes begging.

McGing with the straight red, Leonardo taken straight down the tunnel after being stretchered off

Not sure how I feel about that card. He's obviously done for Leonardo with the tackle but I've seen worse that have been given a mere yellow or even just a free kick. An example of the classic inconsistency of A League refs.

Well shark, if that's simulation how come Trifunovic didn't get a card at the other end?

Ha! Like it.

Weirdly the send off has sucked the life out of the game.

Did I just saw an empty studio chair instead of the game?

Kosta on the bench for Victory

Cruel.

Finally a goal, maybe this will spark up the last 10 minutes

CCM deserved that

Yeah, fair result. Nice bit of calm thinking from Rose to lay it off to Sim. Many players would've put their foot through it.

Hopefully this game is better than the last one

Torrential downpour atm, that won't help the quality of the game

Early goal, this should be a good game now

Class strike.

so Smeltz playing aye

6 games, 6 half time draws for Sydney this season

For me he is the best striker the A League has ever had. Not just for his goal scoring ability but the incredibly energetic and aggressive way he defends from the front. As good as Archie and Smeltzy have been they are not even close to Berisha in this department.

Berisha is so strange!

(Adebayor salute included)

Really well taken goal to cap off a really good game to watch

And frankly disturbing death stare at his own fans. Great player, total nutter.

I just switched in for the goal and thought he stares at the Sydney fans, creepy.

Stadium looked empty, was that because people moving out of the rain?

Update: Metrics was 15,947

Reckon the Roar could put a few past the Glory tonight, even with out Maclaren

Whew, another hour and a bit listening to Brenton Speed and Nick Meredith. Going to be a challenge.

Perth are so bad. Roar toothless.

Multi-tasking between the match and Dr Who.

Greatly enjoying the latter.  (esp the Geordie Japanese  Officer lass, reet canny)

11.7K here, makes us the second highest croud of the weekend

Now Perth play better and Roar are shark.

Oh Goal! Henrique!

The Slippery Fish!

I love that little guy.

Rubbish game, won by the only moment of skill in the game.

Perhaps the feed across the ditch was different.

Nah, same feed of a rubbish game you had in Australia. 

Henrique goal was a nice moment though, made the game worth sitting through. 

Or perhaps "beauty" is in the eye of the beholder?

I can report that the episode of Dr Who was very enjoyable.
