Edgeworth finally score through a great finish by Moore (I think) and it might open the floodgates and end up 5 or 6 zip. The interplay from the front 4 or 5 is highly impressive and Valo have nothing.

2-0 at HT. I think Edgy have taken the foot off knowing this game is done.
McBreen makes it 3 less than a minute into the 2nd half.
Moriyasu makes it 4. From a standing start he traps the thing, then rockets it top left corner from about 20 out. Not sure if Edgy have even got out of first gear.
4 nil edgy with 10 to go , try the betscores app it has live updates of all NPL games
Thanks for the update FR....Quote:

Mooney with the equaliser
Good game
2-1 Olympic
Daniel Bird with the goal right on HT
Nil all at Azzurri half time, fairly open game with both teams creating chances, Azzurri probs the better team
Jaffas v Maitland nil all ht, jets up 1 over buds
1 nil Azzurri, 2 nil jets
3-1 Olympic
Bertos with a penalty
Great refereeing
Olympic player beats keeper to ball and gets collected.
Peabrain ref doesn't even watch to see he ****ing scored with his touch before being taken out.
Justice done.
But FFS where is the advantage??
3 nil jets
FT Olympic 3-1
Have to query what Magic coach is thinking
Playing 4-3-3 and it a 4-3-3 with your wide attackers puxhed up.
You getting over run in midfield and out numbered against a side playing a 4-5-1 more or less as the wide attackers are only pushing forward in possession but sitting in for the most part
Your 2-1 down 60 mins in so you take a CM off and go 4-2-4 more or less
Rather bizarre to see
I can see Magic losing lots of close games. There front three do no work and the 3 in midfield work there arse off and die. Olympic had a field day in the midfield in the 2nd half.Quote:

These blokes have always had top shelf cattle to make them look good, when the chips are down they can be found cluelessQuote:

Have Magic won anything under these guys.Quote:

He definitely got it right by crowding the midfield.
**** though did Magic play into their hands.
As for Kale. Not his best game. The amount of long balls that got pumped by Magic at him and Virgili were excessive. Kale ain't winning shit in the air so why diract 30-40 yard passes in his direction when he is marked by a bigger opponent.
Magics defence for mine was an improvement on last season.
The goals they gave away today were pretty sloppy though.
For the most part they dealt with Olympic attack well but got exposed far too easily on a few occasions and got punished for it
They just conceded 3 goals against Olympic today after conceding 2 against the Jets last weekend. Something wrong defensively if your conceding 5 goals in 2 matchesQuote:

After 1/3 of the season and a 7 point gap between 5th and 6th on ladder is it that the teams at the bottom are happy to blood players with the aim of seeing what their squad will be like next year as their is no relegation this year or is it that the teams with the coin, apart from Lambton, are taking the better quality players diluting the talent available?
The points system is all wrong, initially they got it right but after one season FFA changed it, the points system was designed to stop clubs signing half a dozen players each year and to develope youth, it's obviously not working
Swancott benched for Jaffas game against Maitland. Is that the first time this year or has it been like that for a week or two?
First time i think... That tackle on Remington was an absolute disgrace... should be straight red any day of the week (but oviously not Sunday's), only thought going through the players mind was im gonna break this guy... adding insult 4 minutes earlier the same guy nearly took his head off leading in a challenge rugby style with shoulder and forearm... linesperson useless 3m away and no flag waved.Quote:

Azzuri have more points this year then the whole of last season, they are going well, remember their best four players this season were all out yesterday,( Hughes, Lama and Hudson and Ross went off after 40 )so depth was tested and backed up my statement that there is more depth this year. Big three weeks coming up butQuote:

Not every challenge. I've only seen them so far at home to Valo. Considering the ease at which Edgy put Valo away the other day, that's one challenge Azzurri might look back on come season's end and realise they dropped 2 easy points.Quote:
