Saturday night football: Grand Final replay + Melbin derby, from 7:30pm SS4

Be interesting to see if Contreras gets a couple of weeks off for that.

THis game is pretty uninspiring  

Can someone bloody score? *snore*

Nope. They missed it. 

45 thou, what a cracking crowd, shame about the game

That was shit by naboo. He chose to run wide with an advantage and then took the greedy shot.

There is more high ball in this game than an England rugby match

Have only watched the 2nd half... What a boring, low quality game. Shame for the crowd which sounds awesome.

What/who are they booing? Not a classic but booing a hard-fought draw is moronic.

Poor effort on attack for both sides. Victory it seemed never looked to switch the ball and both sides didn't even attempt through balls. Weak.

I'll happily take a dull 0-0 draw in our game tomorrow.

Went to the Derby, pretty underwhelming. Lots of frustrated fans, atmosphere felt staged somewhat.

All 3 games this weekend have been uninspiring.

whole a-league is uninspiring. Football in general. And life; life is uninspiring.

My impression of the first 3 games so far:

All games looked disjointed, low accuracy passing, a lot of turn-overs (far too many considering they are pros), no teams produced many clear cut chances and when they came often were squandered.

So on the quality of the games, the worst I've seen in a while. It should get better though once the teams have played a few rounds and gotten to know each other better.

The crowds were good, nice to see a new attendance record set. Although Sydney vs Newcastle didn't draw as many fans as last year with the arrival of ADP. Shows that even marquee signings lose their sparkle after some time.

Nevertheless, crowds and atmosphere were great!

In terms of entertainment by the organizers, it was ok. I'm still missing a theme tune for the A-League when teams walk in.

There are a number of things that could be done better like that though.

Overall, the spectacle, crowds, and all that I'd rate 8/10, and football being played on the pitch 5/10.

Go Phoenix!

It's always piss poor to start with. Will kick on as per usual

Pretty much on the nose. CCM game wasn't too bad and our first half was decent enough but otherwise pretty despressing.
