COME ON QUEENSLAND! WIN THIS GAME AND WIN THE PREMIERSHIP!!!!
(i am a queensland fan for 1 game only as i want to see craig moore the ex-glasgow rangers player lift the trophy tonight to prove to rangers that they should not have kicked him out the door as he was brilliant for us)

so a win for queensland and they win it? with ccm second?
and can someone confirm playoff system, mark elrich on radio sport yesterday confused me. 1 plays 2 home and away to go straight to gf and 3 plays 4 home and away for the right to play the loser of 1v2 for a spot in grand final?

That's exactly it.  The game between loser of 1v2 and winner of 3v4 is a one-off game (not home and away).

Excellent. Sky originally had some cricket scheduled. I complained about the lack of balance, with two channels showing cricket. They haven't replied yet, but at least they have removed one set of snoozeball in favour of the football. There must have been a few complaints.
 
Of all the times to waive the away team in white... it is really difficult to tell the teams apart unless there is a close-up.

Have they said why they've waived it?

Reminds me of the time in my Wellington United days when we turned up to play Petone in our traditional blue shorts and we'd also forgotten our socks.  Tasker was ref and made us change the shorts, so we had to beg and borrow from other teams who were there....ended up wearing orange shirts, red shorts and yellow socks.  We looked attrocious.

How can you forget when you have played away in white for 3 years? Load of bollocks.

Three for me, and two for them.

Good call Tigers. I'm watching the socks now.
 
I reffed a game earlier this season with the same colour clash (one red & one orange). Being close up, it was fine for me. If the game wasn't televised giving us the wide shots, it wouldn't be such an issue. The patches of bright sunlight are the worst.

if that defensive effort had been the Nix the commentators would be w**king on about it for another 5 minutes

nice ball in though and great to see someone putting pressure on a keeper

surely adelaide could play in white to make it easier on everyone. bad mistake for queensland to make though

In a similar vein, Brooklyn were playing [forget who] on Wakefield 2 three seasons back. Their opponents had red socks, as did Brooklyn. The opponents' coach came round to the Island Bay clubrooms begging to borrow socks.... socks that we had just played a whole game in.... they wore our sweaty, smelly, muddy socks for the game. Yuk. I can't remember the result, but we went and cheered on our socks for the first half!

im reasonalby confident that the reason there is only one game of cricket on is that the 2nd one finished a day early. just a thought. but good on ya for having a winge, you/yellow fever should winge until we make sure they have the socceroos qatar game on

For anyone with Mysky:

Have another look at the goal. It looks like the Adelaide player raises his arm when challenging the keeper, and probably knocks the ball out of the keepers grasp with his hand.

Replays are inconclusive, but it looks likely.

The ref has been crap so far, then again so have both keepers

I was an 88th minute sub once and we only had 11 shirts, so I had to swap with the guy who I replaced....he had run himself ragged for the whole game and was a rather sweaty chap anyway.......not pleasant.

Wolfben - I agree. It looks like it was Dodd's hand or arm that forced the ball loose.
