2017 FFA Cup

[MFKS]

Let's just get this on record now

This club should be taking this games seriously and trying to actually win the ****ING thing and stop treating it as a glorified pre season shits and giggles affair

Am I right in saying we the only A League side yet to win a ****ing game in it??

His hoping when the balls come down it Gypos away

I don't want us to play the Gypo's until Round 1 of the A-League. Already salivating at the thought, wouldn't like to dilute it with our annual friendly or FFA cup

[evolution]

Correct.

[MonkeyKplunk]

Ever consider that the club only treats it like a pre-season game because they know it takes more resources the further you get in the competition?
Look how stretched thin other clubs have been when they focus on it too much.

If they A League did the correct thing and took a season break so the later games could be played without impacting on the season, then it might be different.

[Nou Camp]

maybe we do try but we just aint good enough...

If that their attitude fold the club

Last season 2 of the games are in pre season

So even if you going all the way 3 games during HAL season shouldn't kill a side

What sort of weak arse shit is it when fans sanction being shit and not trying to win ??

[MonkeyKplunk]

The member has spoken!
Fold the club!

[Jeterpool]

Alright. Place your bets. Will we get:

A-League or NPL team?

Home or Away.

I will guess A-Leauge opposition, away. Thinking Sydney FC.

Have we only ever played at home?

Also isn't the A league teams seeded or some shit based off last seasons table?

[pv4]

There are 3 things that are certain in life:
- Death
- Taxes
- Jerks drawing Perth Glory in the FFA Cup

[Jeterpool]

Yes we have only ever played at home.

We lost our first two years to Perth (2-0 then 2-2 before losing on penalties 3-4 with 6 penalty takers each). then we lost last year at home to Melbourne Victory 3-1 in torrential rain. Leigh Broxham pushed through us after the match, gave BodyNovo and I a mouthful and we laughed back at him. Gnome.

[Jeterpool]

Draw is like last year - A-League teams in 1 pot (8), NPL in another (24).

6 A-League teams drawn to give first 3 games.

Then 9 games between NPL teams are drawn.

Remaining 4 A-Leauge teams drawn against a state league team for the other 4 matches.

Check out the FFA Cup website.

He probably had an important gig to DJ at and didn't want to be held up, tbf.

That 2nd Perth game was hard to take. We were good. Jerrad Tyson pulled something out of his arse to win them the game. And how was that smell at the end of the game :rof::oops:

If we want to be eliminated

Pissants may well be shit

But we rarely win there at all

[Jeterpool]

It will be an interesting match agaisnt Adelaide.

They have only just recruited their coach, so it will be interesting to see how long it takes for him to start recruiting players.

They also have a number of spots to fill in their roster, with Cirio, Carrusca, Galekovic, Elrich, La Rocca all missing for various reasons. It will remain to be seen if Diawara will be back in the country for the match. Whereas the Jets, on the other hand, have our squad filled all except 2 places.

Yeah but Brown started pre-season training a few days later than everyone else so we've got no hope.

Hang on.

You said in the opening post of this thread

I am saying how we stand a good chance because we, compared to the opposition, have pretty much our full compliment available to us, which I'd argue is taking things seriously, so there's a good opportunity to progress (the first step to winning the thing) and I'm delusional? Can't have your cake and eat it too.

I give up on this place.

Tbf for the first few years the top 4 teams were in a Pot specifically so they couldn't draw A-League teams in the Ro32.

Jerks drawing A-League opposition is just payment for Broadmeadow Magic rigging the draw for so many years.

I hope Sydney get a few injuries in Darwin :rof::oops:

And I think we have been competitive over the last 2 years. 2014 FFA Cup, the Stubbins team were very underprepared, but Miller's team played Perth off the park and just couldn't convert and in the match against Victory again we took it seriously but we just weren't good enough on the day in the atrocious condition.s

First non a-league club to make semis of FFA cup. So probably a case of the Fox team running with that. But agree it is a bit puzzling given other clubs with much bigger following / status.

It'll be to make sure people in both Brisbane and Adelaide turn up to the games.

So, no.

[The Dunster]

South Melbourne scored in the 94th min against Edgeworth to win the game 1-0. Now they are saying this should be proof enough that they belong in the A-league . Ridiculous. They'd be no match for the Jets - and it's debatable if they belong on the A-league.

Don't believe all the hype about the VPL - our local league is just as strong. McBreen should have put Edgy in the lead as well - so South Melbourne lucky to get the win.

[Jetmaster]

How was the South Melbun wankfest on Fox last night?

And how about Simon Colossimo having a giggle at the name "Jaffas". Peacock then saying - "the Lambton Jaffas are equal with Edgeworth at the top of the NNPL and have both Ryan and Joel Griffiths playing for them".

Colossimo plays for Dandenong Thunder - the only thing more shit than that name is their squad of burnouts like Sarkies and Vargas.

Or am I being selective by not mentioning the other 14 clubs Colossimo played with ?

Edgy should have been two up going in at HT, shit finishing and Topor-Stanleyesque centre back wide open misses from corners as well.

Dunno if they had a decent angle of the decision for the corner but was questionable it even went out.

May well be a wankfest on tv last night but the VPL and NSWPL are much much stronger than the NNSW League so don't try spinning it that we are on par as we ain't even close

Yet the team consistently at the top of the VPL table couldn't manage to score until the 94th minute.

[The Camel]

A Sydney 2nd division side outplayed and knocked out the biggest team in South Aus too, and that is the only place that Jones would recruit from last year. Shows the club was right in ****ing the dickhead off.

Got the job done didn't they??

I watched games in Victoria and the standard is better in their 2nd tier than the vast majority of our NPL

Your Edgys Jaffas Magic Olympic be highly competitive in that comp but they ain't dominant



Sure

Out of curiosity member when did you start attending VPL games. It's a four team comp with the rest essentially making up the numbers.

Heidelberg are one of only a handful of clubs around the country who have a genuine claim to a second tier

There are more than a handful of clubs. I'd say at least ten clubs (without too much trouble) could make a 2nd tier.

Considering the dross in the HAL there are actually some pretty good players in the NPL whom if giving the opportunity as footballers full time could make just as good a go at it as your rank and file HAL players like Mullen Raheem BK and other average players we have employed through the years

It just lack of opportunity giving them a crack at it because the FFA still have a 9 team comp going after a dozen years

Meanwhile looks like Magic fought hard and get a late equaliser to force extra time, then a red card and 2 quick goals to throw it all away.

Anyone get to watch this on a live stream?

watching this double-eff-aye cup last few weeks.

there are a LOT of very handy footballers playing for all these clubs out in bum**** Idaho.
maybe because its pre-season for A-League etc but man oh man seeing the same retread names get spots in HAL squads every year and seeing these 'unknowns' aim up makes me wonder how they missed out on a opportunity.

[Jetmaster]

It is a good night's entertainment. Last night flicking between it and two test matches....bliss.

Highlights:

* Fornaroli rolling around Berisha style like being shot. Stretchered off after 5 minutes treatment, then took a taxi to hospital with time to tweet as well.
* Jack Clisby being thugged by a park footballer and biding his time for revenge.
* Nick Ward bicycle kick attempt
* Seeing the souvlaki
* Watching the fresh donuts getting cooked and Speedy obviously drooling live on TV
* Wanderers marquee fluff his pen
* Bridge is back
* Hakoah still getting crowds of 1000 like they did in the NSL 40 years ago
* Tara getting cranky with Slater because he wouldn't shut up and stick with the schedule
* Josh Rose looking the gimp he is drawing the next round

Bring on the quarters.

[Jeterpool]

I don't think so. I think they will come for us this weekend. Can they afford to lose and fall behind us further? Long season and all that.

I suppose the top 3 have a fair gap over 4th place so it is feasible to think they could sacrifice the game ahead of the final.

They could also have extra motivation given they lost last year.
