Match 1 vs Sydney | Sat 2nd Jan | 7.05pm | SS7

maybe the fire that caused the alarm as the 1st half started caused some issues???

+ Mark Bosnich.  Who seems even more obtuse this season.

Fudge the Covid Smurfs

McGarry looking solid. Before the goal mirai did nothing and was AWOL. Lewis underwhelming but better since moving more central. Sotorio works hard but man he lacks that bit of quality needed. Should of been up early. Ruder or Devlin need to  play more forward.

batbs has been very quiet.

Thought it was my coffee I spilt on my laptop 5 minutes before it went off air...*relief*

Terrible time for the video to cut out.  The most important seconds in the half. 

Come on Sky goal replays 

Given they don't have video footage, you would think the 'commentators' might try to commentate, and maybe describe the goal?  Piney would tell us all about it so we could picture it.

Tara just said they don't have coverage of the goal for a replay! 

With 2 of our top players on the bench vs defending champions, that was a decent first half.

Replay of the goal on youtube

We must be watching a different game. Lewis is looking class

Goal of the Year!!! What a hit!!!

Might've been lucky that VAR couldn't disallow it.

Nix playing so deep and clumsy. 

Nice goal by SFC.

fudge up bosnich. SFC are far from dominating. Two worldies from nowhere is not domination FFS.

good strike. Fooled keeper 

another great hit, although Marinovic could have done a bit better. Took the step to his right which was about the distance he missed the ball by. But it would be harsh to criticise him really.

He must have seen it move to his right initally.

Nice to see the goal. Well placed, don't know if it was intentional though.

Mark Bosnich should learn how to shut up

Our passes are so woeful.

And Devlin blow the best chance of the 2nd half. fmd so woeful.

You're joking right? If he hadn't slid for that it would've been cleared. Idk how you can expect to score that easily.

Just hand him some Bolivian Marching Powder

Pretty sure he's already had some

Hemed looking quality in the front third.

As a fellow man I feel deep sympathy for Brattan right now

Pretty desprate bring on Ridenton.

We've been way better with Hemed and Davila on the park, ball out wide is better than Lewis who seems a bit slow and off the pace. Devlin has been his usual nugetty self, which we need. Rufer has looked ok, just cannot shoot to save himself. Ridenton should never put on a nix shirt again. I think sotirio has done ok this game, his pace causes defences mega issues, he just needs to work on his touch.

Disappointed to be 2-1 down but its not the worst start to a season. 

Sydney will be the more concerned I think.

Unlucky not to have scored 

BullShark it should be a goal!

Dammit!

How???, Hemed was offside when the ball made contact with him.

I think we've been very good. Not much you can do about two worldies - aside from that SFC had nothing. We're going to destroy most teams this year.

Sotirio was a good outlet but faded. Hemed was excellet. Even Ridenton looked good when he came on. We've got a team seriously capable of challenging for the title.

We are so fudgeing unlucky

This will be the story of our season, leaving it to little to late.

We can dominate a game and lose to not one but two top class goals with nothing else going. The salt is flowing at my place. 

Solid first hit out, happy with that. Both great goals from Sydney so cant complain. onward and upward.
