I seem to remember being roughly behind the dugouts, in front of the main stand. Great goal from Jackson and a crunching tackle from Willie Miller that broke Gary Bollan's leg - totally fair 50/50 that they both went into to win the ball. Willie got up, Bollan didn't. I think everyone winced at the contact.Quote:

Western United meet Melbourne City in the semi-final on Wednesday
Grant Brebner has been appointed full time coach of Melbourne Victory on a 2 year contract.
Recently he was their interim coach For a couple of months until their season ended.
Victory are a powerhouse of Aussie football, but seem to have lost their way in recent seasons.
Good luck to Brebs.

I and everybody else stand corrected.
It was offside, but didn’t appear so at the time.
Not Jamie MAC but the guy who received Jamie.’s flick on from the goal kick.
VAR showed that his foot was marginally in front of the defender and he was therefore roightly ruled offside.

In about an hour and a half, the A League’s Grand Final takes place.
This game decides who are the Champions of Australia.
It’s Sydney FC v Melbourne City.
Interesting match up with hertz cretin Ryan McGowan playing stopper for Sydney, and ex Hibee Jamie MacLaren lining up at centre forward for City.
No prizes for guessing who I want to come out on top!
Prediction Fred ?Quote:

Fixture issues due to state border quarantine/travel issues because of Covid.
Look out for a BLONDE Jamie MacLaren when Melbourne City play and Mark Milligan skippering new entrants MacArthur Bulls.
MacArthur are my local team, so it is inevitable they will get humped most week.
Ripper! :greengrinQuote:

I know there is at least 1 Hibs strip in the Covid reduced crowd...but from his photie I think he is sitting in the stand below the tv cameras.

Dunno what it is for each state....I think Boris has written all the differing rules as it confuses the bejesus out of me!
In NSW the changes come pretty quick...which is a good thing in many respects as it happens quick and fairly decisively..only today the New Year fireworks were closed to the public.
Has anyone got an idea why livescore have two separate leagues?

I like Brisbane’s decision to move up to Redcliffe this season.
Typically I’m in Perth for Christmas and New Year and the Glory have no home games.

Beautiful first time lay off by Jamie which resulted in the only goal of the game.

Only downside City’s coach is ex Hearts player Patrick Kisnorbo who gets off to a winning start.

Mark Milligan playing for MacArthur..
Never noticed him 😂Quote:

Enjoyed the Victory v Brisbane game, but Brebs needs to come up with a plan B for when Victory's "fall-over-and-throw-your-arms-out-wide-while -looking-at-the-referee" plan A isn't working. TBF tp Brebs, it's always worked for Victory in the past :wink:.

MacArthur, skippered by ex Hibee Mark Milligan on the back foot for the opening 25 minutes, but getting a foothold finally
1-0 Wellington after 38 minutes.
Can’t say it wasn’t deserved
Interesting VAR decision there. How anyone saw a red card in there is beyond me.

Scored what may well be the winner.
Typical Jamie goal
Always liked JMac.
Watched most of the game today - makes a difference having fans back. Any idea how many in stadium?
Also how’s the league doing ? Watch lots of MLS and they are still growing but some teams have plateaued with fan bases - does the game get good coverage in Oz ? Lots of youth playing it ?
Was at the Sydney derby today actually , 14,000!attendance but in a 84,000 seater stadium it just kills any chance of an atmosphere. For a derby I must say the game lacked any real desire or quality
