2014 FFA Cup - Rd of 32 Broadmeadow Magic vs Brisbane Strikers 29/7/14 k/off 730pm

[furns]

Discussion here for the Magic vs Strikers FFA Cup game at Magic Park

[la bazzle]

Is it true Magic players on yellow card suspensions can be suspended for this game if they get one this weeked?

[furns]

If its the same rules as most other cup competitions across the world, cards should count across all domestic competitions? Cup, league, etc
For instance, if you accumulate another yellow during the cup game you are suspended for next game in your local competition.

[la bazzle]

Is that right, wow never knew that. Cheers big man! Griff better not get a yellow this weekend then

[GazFish35]

Seriously thinking of making the trip down for this.
Who else is going?

[ToddG NBUnited]

Ive already got the foxtel IQ set to record but i might head up to watch it live.

[Superdylan]

Shall be heading along

[WolfMan]

Got my ticket

[MFKS]

Seriously thinking of making the trip down for this.
Who else is going? Good news is I will be there

The trip down will be worth it now

[Premy]

I'll be going in along with about 50 others I know, hope to see a big crowd.

[ToddG NBUnited]

Can we buy tickets online at all?

[GazFish35]

Good news is I will be there

The trip down will be worth it now

Where are you planning to sit/stand?

[MFKS]

Should be able to buy tickets on night

If not fence is only 4ft high it's dark everyone will be right

[la bazzle]

I'm going to watch J Griff. Didn't get a yellow all is good in the world

[hawk]

Should be able to buy tickets on night

If not fence is only 4ft high it's dark everyone will be right

Hillsborough :(

[MFKS]

Hillsborough :(

Need to think things through before posting

As if the place will be over crowded.

The Jets will struggle to sell out for the Perth game at the same venue



The exterior fence is easily climbable if they ain't selling tickets on the night.

#GoMagic #GoGunners

[Bremsstrahlung]

0-0. End to end game.

[Jeterpool]

Turnbull with a good save. This game will open up second half I think. Both teams a bit nervous.

[magician]

Haynes is terrible

[Bremsstrahlung]

Commentators being a little critical for my liking.
"Well that's a semi professional tackle that is"
And just being critical on technique.

Should be being as positive as possible IMO. Promoting local football and blowing it up a little!

[sammydog]

I'm listening to Aaron Kearneys coverage on ABC1233. Much better than the Fox commentary.

[Jeterpool]

Good to know. Might turn over

[sammydog]

Just beware, the radio coverage is about a sec in front of the match.

[Jeterpool]

Just beware, the radio coverage is about a sec in front of the match.

Could deal with that to relieve myself of garry Phillips.

See Chris Payne scored?

[Jeterpool]

Geez Petit is quick. Nice goal

[Bremsstrahlung]

Good job magic!
Bowling with some good saves then!

[Bremsstrahlung]

Woahhhhhhh

[Bremsstrahlung]

Charge him for a new net...
Just put a hole on it with that shot!

[Jeterpool]

Woahhhhhhh

What would Robbie say...."he put some hurt on that"?

[Jeterpool]

Did magic play Sunday? Wonder why we couldn't organise them to play Friday night passed if so.

[boz-monaut]

score?

[Jeterpool]

1-1. Both teams tiring. Lots of space now. Broadmeadow are getting a bit sloppy

[Jeterpool]

Both Haynes and Tippett off

[Jeterpool]

Pen to strikers. Piddington sent off. Clearly challenge outside box

[Jeterpool]

Bowling saved.

[Jeterpool]

Crowd coming into it now.

[Beast]

Awesome save

[Bremsstrahlung]

Quality drama!
Onya bowling. Thank southy for the pen experience haha.

[sammydog]

Awesome save, but FFS how did the ref think that was in the box? It was at least 2m out.

Red was fair though.

I'm looking the linesman to be honest. He had the best view

[Bremsstrahlung]

Looked like they had a conversation about it. :/

[Jeterpool]

Looked like they had a conversation about it. :/

He took a while to award it so that makes sense.

They stuffed up, simples. Bowling spared them.

[Thomas477]

I'm looking the linesman to be honest. He had the best view

Yep. The fact that the assistant ran to the corner pretty much gave it a pen.

[Jeterpool]

If I hear Garry Phillips talk about these players having to get up to a day job tomorrow once more I'm going to go down to broadmeadow and shove the microphone down his throat.

[sammydog]

If you keep listening to the Fox Commentary when there are alternatives, you have no one to blame but yourself.

[belchardo]

And broadmeadow only had a 48 hour turnaround!

Both teams are just about out on their feet.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Unlucky magic! Did really well.

Muzzas locks make an appearance

[hawk]

Muz!

[Jeterpool]

My surround sound only picks up FM. Damn. Have the phone!!

[sammydog]

you kids with new fangled sound equipment.

[sammydog]

Best goal keeping ever.

Charging down a shot 15m outside the box. Awesome stuff.

[Jeterpool]

you kids with new fangled sound equipment.

:grin:

Online is about a minute behind so I've paused fox just to live without Phillips.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Bowling come out for a run. Gets. Second yellow.
No subs left.
Chris Berlin jumping in goals.
Oh magic :/

[Jeterpool]

Only in the cup......?

[Pico]

I don't know what's worse my ears bleeding from Phillips commentary or my eyes bleeding from that gorilla sports kit :facepalm:

Have enjoyed the around the grounds style telecast, hope foxsports do this for each match day.

[sammydog]

Would be nice to have the red button working. Only thing that would improve the coverage.

The kit is pretty bad.

[Jeterpool]

Red button a good idea. But it'd be the same excuse from fox for the same time kickoff final round - they don't have enough availability of the production trucks.

But how are they broadcasting 4 games now!?

[Pico]

Yeah red button to switch to the single camera feed at the other games would be cool, don't need commentary, even just a free online stream on foxsports website would be good.

Then how am I watching the southy penalties now. Fox don't want to do it for the HAL because they want content spread out during the day/weekend to sell advertising.

I think this format works for the cup as you can break up the lulls in the game by going around the grounds with highlights of all the action.

Updated my post. I dunno - they've clearly gotta have the trucks!!

[Beast]

Do the red cards carry through to this weekend?

[belchardo]

Do the red cards carry through to this weekend?

I think they do under the new rules.

[MFKS]

Do the red cards carry through to this weekend?

Probably get suspended for NPL and the next season's FFA Cup knowing Nortbern both blokes out for 4 games


On another note Melbourne Knights were planning on putting Croatian Sports Club as a sponsor on their shirts for the FFA Cup but FFA told them where to go

Surprised Magic were allowed to wear Macedonian Sports Club on their shirts

Massive double standard

[la bazzle]

Jon Griffiths absolutely superb. Just another nail in the Craig deans coffin. How he didn't promote him I'll never know.

[sammydog]

I think a single camera at the other games would be fine.

[Premy]

Official Crowd Figure from Magic Was 1523.

IMO it looked closer to 3000.

[MFKS]

1500 seemed right

You could have easily squeezed another 3k in

There was plenty of space about

[Superdylan]

Sure was. Not many people behind the northern posts except a bunch of kids probably 1/4 full. Sideline hill 1/2 full same with southern end. Western stand was packed however.

Will be interesting to see what happens with our fans next week, won't be alot of seated areas will alot of our fans bring camping chairs or stand on the hill? None the less it's bound to pack out would be best to get there early regardless.

[Jetmaster]

Keeper got a bit carried away with his performance - going up field with still over 5 mins to go when you are only one behind was a little silly.

His teammates told him to.

[Jetmaster]

Even worse - should be the coaches call.

[BodyNovo]

credit where its due foxsports did a fantastic job on this.

the live crosses, consistent score up dates, phillips was ****ing woeful but simon hill was his usual classy self.

what impressed me the most was that the fox sports commentators new the players and at least some decent information about them i.e. what they do for living, past footballing successes.

imagine this competition next season on stand alone weekends when its a sunny day and you can get better crowds.

don't **** this up FFA.


on the game;

very impressed with matt hoole and matt paul. haynes was sluggish and probably shouldn't have played due to his late arrival.

brisbane probably were the better team but not by much. richter changed the game for them when he came on.

Need a bit of perspective the competition actually needs to be competitive in all games. Last night we seen 2 reasonably matched teams go at it.

I would expect a HAL side regardless of where they are at in their preparation for the season to still comfortably flog both of them. Last week the Jets in their first match comfortably rolled the NBN leaders in a game. Tonight I fully expect them in their second match to do the second place team by 3/4 goals. Magic are performing worse than those two have so what chance would they have???


This competition will not be successful until we see competitive matches involving HAL and NPL sides regularly.

Neither of those teams would have troubled the worse side in the HAL.


What made last night's match interesting was the closeness of the sides with Strikers probably just being a little sharper at times.

[pv4]

I thought Matt Paul was outstanding too. How old is he?

Also I think I have a bit of a man-crush on Casa, I always have. He's just awesome IMO.

Honestly thought Hoole was slightly average tbh, must have been seeing things differently.

Haynes I thought had one of his better first halves but didn't really rate him afterwards.

You summed this up very well. I wonder what the viewing figures were?

[Pico]

Personally hope they don’t try and do that. I think it suits the mid-week timeslot when all the local clubs players and supporters can go to the game and not have any of the clubs other weekend commitments getting in the way. The congestion on foxsports would also work against it for live coverage, $$$ & attention, when they are already covering the AFL,NRL & Super Rugby, trying to get them to commit to a semi-pro comp will be challenging.

Mid-week is great as there is no other live sport on their schedule so they can devote a good amount of time to the coverage and means they would be more likely to support new content for an otherwise quiet period of their broadcast schedule. It’s the reason they pushed for Monday night NRL games, to help spread the content out over the week. However if the HAL ever incorporates FIFA international breaks that’s the opportune time to allocate an FFA Cup game to that weekend to fill the void left by not having the 5 games on that weekend.

Winter night's midweek Cup Football, Brilliant, loved it.
This is what Football is all about.

With Sheriff Callie's Wild West rounding out the top 20 Foxtel programs last night, somewhere south of 36k viewers.
