Season 14: Week 12

Yay for split rounds. We have the first game of Week 12 tonight with the Jets hosting the Roar.

DIngham dropped to the bench & a NYL kid starting at CB for the Roar.

1-0 to Newcastle and Brisbane majorly under the pump.

no Moss in goal for the Jest, is he injured? Very little mention of ridenton except at the start saying he'd been out of form.

Yea, Moss got a gash in his leg last match at end of first half. They said it was reasonably bad at the time and weren't expecting him to be fit again for this match.

Ridenton going ok in the first half, generally made himself available and has tracked McKAY well on D.

Roar equalise again!! 2-2!!

Good to see Roarnix bounce back with a draw. Give them some confidence going forward.

Loved the com’s team The only team that benefits from a draw is Wellington, so they will be happy”

So they think 5th placed Adelaide is safe?

Double post 

Tonight we have the "Original Rivalry" between Adelaide and the Victory followed by a top of the table clash between the Glory & Sydney.

Couple draws here would help our pursuit of the top 4? If someone has to win, a Victory & Sydney win would be best, they still have the ACL to come and may drop points then.

Elvis is in the building!!

Giddy up! Will probably only last the 1st half of the 1st game after staying up last night. Interested to watch a match between teams +4 and -3 points relative to us.

Ye gods, it's Slater again. Can't bear to listen to him again after last night.

Honestly, I'm going to say this now: Roux is an awful defender. Great attacking fullback but an awful defender.

But wait, there is a new contender!

Entertaining action packed 2nd half but MV pay the price for poor defending in the 1st half. FT 2-0.

Puts us back to 6th place.

Makes our point against Adelaide look even better.

Glory all over Sydney right now. A Chianese double has them leading 2-0

Santa scores just before half time, 3-0. Glory are gonna have a 6 point lead at the top of the table now.

Carnage! Another 3-0 half time shocker for Sydney.

ALF!! 3-1

that Melbourne game a rip-snorter

I don't see anyone catching the Glory from here, 6 point lead and the main challengers are teams with ACL campaigns ahead of them.

Perth will falter!

I'm betting they will not.

I’m hoping they will

And we finish off round 12 tonight with CCM hosting City. Can CCM break their losing streak?

Hope so!

Oh come on Matt Simon, that's an absolute sitter.

Pain gives CCM the lead. Can they hang on to it this time? Gentlemen, place your bets.

Really want CCM to win this.

Gotta say, City don't look very scary..

This is one of those RR A-League tipping dilemma games (v best for Nix).

Or a can't lose situation. So, come on you silly old Mariners.

Agree City don't look much based on this (cue: late City burst to win)

Should've been 2-0. Might pay for that miss.

Went controversial in tipping giving CCM the draw.

Very happy if CCM hold onto win though. Big points off City, and backs up what a few us were saying of how CCM aren't totally useless.

Mariners' points lost (from winning positions) record must be sensational.

Almost a carbon copy of the goal WSW scored against us the other week. Looks like CCM are going to bottle this one too.

Hirariaj, Pain and Miller are all top players. The rest...not so much. McGing pretty good.

FREE KICK PENALTY

Yet another pen saved, rebound scored. So many this season. Well done Matt Simon, you big brutal ugly bastard!
