Bling vs Clogs

Bling vs Clogs

Juninho Benched, Zdrillic starts... brave call from Kosmina.

Matthew Breeze reffing a side with Moore, Tiatto (bench) and McKay, plus Zullo and Collapsible Kruse...

Should be interesting.

Got a radio link for that, mate? Forgot to save it last time.

I'm not sure there is radio for the Sydney games.

Bummer. Be at your descriptive best then.

is Beckham in the crowd

McLaren booked.  A few chances at both ends but no real clear-cut chances.

Been a bit nothing so far in fact. 20 gone. 

No sign of Beckham, but the Galaxy are meant to be there.

21 - Bridge goes off reckoning he's be flattened in the area by Moore.  The Breeze randon decision maker says....

No penalty.

22 - Reddy comes out of the area and flattens Bridges.  A yellow, a bit of payback for some contact earlier perhaps ?  Confusion in the defensive area from Queensland forced him in to it.

Free kick 20 yards out, taken by Reddy.

The Breeze random decision maker reminds me of the TW game today where a ball came off the outside rear stantion and it was play on... very odd.

Juninho getting a few splinters from riding the pine. expensive bench.

Last 10 minutes all Sydney, couple of minutes of post corner pin-ball.  Unlucky not to have scored.

Of course they didn't score, both chances they got from it landed at Zdrillic's feet and both times he found defenders. Nestling2007-11-25 21:35:55

Reinaldo misses an open goal.  Rudan f**ks up and hands the ball to Zullo who crosses to Reinaldo's nose and pulls off the miss of the season.

35 Gone, and it turns out Reinaldo named his son after Felipe, which is nice.

42 - Packer Yellow.  Flattens Brosque just outside the area, floated free kick is cleared by Queensland.  Bridges on his arse again.

0-0 at the half.

Best chances were Reinaldo's open goal, and Rudan hitting the crossbar.  Neither team looks inspiring.

Beckham is out with the rest of the Galaxy lads having a half time walk-about.

Rudan and Zdrilic, who are both well paid, just are so bloody average.  Sydney really have used their other salary cap money pretty well with the wedge they are spending on those two, although it explains their complete lack of depth

Becks is on the field. man he has a lot of tatts

This game is great.

Oi, no spoilers on the result of the oher match!

haha, I think Kosmina forgot the name of our team, saying someone was imressive when they came on against new zeala... uhh... the new zealand side last week. lol.

Huh?

Queensland dive in to it in the second half.  Created two good chances in a couple of minutes.

Including a 7-yard shot from Reinaldo straight in to his own man.

Kosmina just referred to us as New Zealand...then corrected himself to say "the New Zealand side"

MUPPET!

We're WELL-ING-TON....and we're WON-DER-FUL!!!

Marcinho on for Zullo.

Hip injury.
Hard News2007-11-25 22:13:48

Why take Zullo off? Hes been great. Was he injured?

Yeah, hip.  Sorry, added that.

One end Marcinho runs in to Fyfe, and it's a CLogs free kick.  Bridges get kicked by Moore at the other end and nothing.

Some refs interpretations of that situation with Fyfe piss me off.  Fyfe was standing there, and Marcinho ran in to him, Fyfe never moved.  It should be Marcinho's responsibility to go around, not Fyfe's to step out of the way and let him through.

Be good if Costa takes his chances when they come like Zullo has taken his.....

Sydney have it in the net, but Sarah Ho quite rightly has Corica offside when the ball comes to him.

Very late call though...

Yeah, had hopes Draper might have got on the bench last night, would have been interesting to see.

Woo-oo-oo-oo, woo-oo, woo-oo one Sarah Ho Woo-oo-oo-oo, woo-oo, woo-oo!

16,569 there... crowd disappointing according to the commentary team.  I won't comment.

serioously, the media need to open their eyes.  The bling are no more, the game has moved on

In my defence, I missed the foul and relied on the commentary.

63.  Bridges can't get the ball out from under his feet with just the keeper in front of him

64 - Clogs free kick about 6 metres outside the area... and it's garbage.  High, wide and handsome by Ognenovski. Average short take for him to hit.

Love the stat re: marcinho.  Most shots in the league, one goal.

Trimboli - Trimmers.  He also can't tell the difference between Kruse and Zullo.

On the subject of which, Collapsible Kruse at his best, Middleby within 5 feet of him and he's on his arse. Hard News2007-11-25 22:28:16

Craig Morre running a fine line, earlier hard foul earned a yellow and then strong body check on a quick moving brosque goes unpunished.  He gets a free ride from referees here...
