Hard to go past Sydney tonight, thinking 2-1 to the home side, Ninkovic & Bobo + Keogh

The Sydney crowd is totally justifying the decision to award Sydney the FFA Cup Final hosting rights ....

Penalty!! Carney pushed over in the box

Bobo hits the crossbar!! 0-0

Oh Bobo, you clown.

Glad he missed it. I know it was a penalty but I hate seeing players crumple like that at the meerest touch on the back.

Another blown chance for Sydney, should be a couple ahead by now

Carney is a wily old dog, any contact in the box and he is going down like a sack of spuds.

An action replay of the pen he won last week. Perhaps he learned it from Brosque.

Another penalty for Sydney, surely Bobo doesn't miss this?

Oh dear, Mills again!

Your classic hometown decision. How the hell was even close to intentional?

And we are going upstairs ....

Fudge I hate this VAR nonsense. That is a total load of time wasting bollocks. And never a penalty.

Finally confirmed and Bobo slots it this time, 1-0

More like quicker than a $2 hooker. Not a penalty. VAR is a complete waste of time. The only team that benefits from it are Sydney. The FFA need to step in and abandon its use.

Castro is having an awful game. Very strange to see.

And a 3rd penalty for Sydney

2-0, easy 3 points for Sydney

Having Andreu/Torres behind him just isn't working. Glory looked much better after they brought on Butters & Brimmer., there was someone able to link up the defence & attack without Castro dropping back past the half way line to do it.

absolute farce. Refs are clearly not applying the rules as written. Many refs are also not punishing players who kick the ball away after an infringement, and players who don't retreat 10 yards at a free kick. The rules are clear, but the refs ain't applying them.

VAR is ruining the natural flow of games. What a shock

City beat an injury weakened Adelaide 0-2 last night, anyone watch the game?

Only saw the last 20mins. With an extra man Adelaide pounded City and should have scored more than once.

Joyce seems to have brought some defensive structure to their game, City have always had a decent attack but now they are not giving up easy goals they are in title contention.

Roly dropped!!

I reckon WSW here, 1-2. Pet Rat - Cejudo & Bonevacia

Jets crowd giving a minutes applause to Vargas

Georgievski pulls up lame, early sub for the Jets

Bridge opens the scoring vs his old team, 0-1

Hyphen pays big time for his two left feet to give away the corner.

Round of applause at the 17 minute mark next week?

We would be clapping for the first 23 minutes if that was the case. Fair enough for Vargas tho, he made a huge impression and that was a nasty injury.

Yeah, was a nice moment. Half an hour gone and you can see how much they miss him already. Jets attack looks tepid today.

WSW go into the sheds with the lead, they are looking really comfortable today.

Roly on for Baccus. That is a big loss for WSW, he is an under rated player in their midfield

Now Herd is goneski

Pet Rat!! 1-1

Champness born in NZ? Looks good, hope he's on our radar.
