Season 14: Week 24

Can Brisbane help us out tonight? Probably not.

More seagulls than fans there at the moment.

You know your defence is in trouble when Matt McKay is marking Rostyn Griffiths at a corner. Can only be a matter of time now.

City 1-0, Roar look in big trouble here.

The protest by Babalj was the most energetic I've seen him in weeks. Just embarrassingly bad defence from Roar.

What a cracking header by Delbridge, into his own goal thankfully. 1-1

Harrison gets the lead straight back, 2-1

Should be 2-2, Babalj butchers a great chance

De Laet with a screamer, 3-1

Not watching the game - is Citeh particularly good tonight or is Brisbane as bad as before?

McGree with a cheeky chip over Young from a tight angle, 4-1

Yep. You have to be a true A League tragic to sit through a game like this one. A couple of good laughs at some hilariously poor defending and two nice finishes from City were pretty poor compensation for a two hour investment!

Which is why I went to bed with a book instead.  

("High rise" by JG Ballard, and it's a perfect read to accompany the ongoing independent A-League negotiations)

Babbel continues his quest to turn Kamau into a right back ...

Huge miss by ROD

Oh dear. Another woeful miss by O'Donovan to add to an already lengthy catalogue this season.

And Mahazi heads WSW in front just before half time, 0-1

Roux & Thomas out of the Big Blue

The spark has definitely gone out of the Jets, understandably I guess. High time O'Donovan was sent to the glue factory.

And Janjetovic into an actual goalkeeper.

It's shoddy defence galore and the goals are flying in. 3-2 now to Jets with less than 10 to go.

Jets take the points. Worth checking out the highlights just for some more Janjetovic comedy gold.

Chianese slots one, 0-1

Glory up 0-3, however Ikonomidis took a knock just before half time.

Popovic's coaching record:
2012-13 2nd oldest team, 1st on final ladder

2014-15 7th oldest team, 9th on ladder
2015-16 1st oldest team, 2nd on ladder
