Who gives a **** about the EPL

The FFA are on a program to encourage clubs to better develop players by raising standards so players are ready for First Grade at younger ages. This will in the future develop better calibre of players at all levels of the game and not just the elite professional level

This is part of their strategy

Now considering the standard of the English NT there is hundreds of issues with the set up of the game in England.
Why one would want to follow their lead defies logic just as using them as an example defies logic

But it's okay for you to use Jamie Vardy as an example.

Maybe the standard of their national team has gone down because they had it as u20s for however long...hence why they've brough back u23s...

So any scores?

Edgy 2 Maitland 2

Interesting to see Maitlands sidelines brought in by approx 2 to 3m on each side.

Am guessing it was tactical ploy to Blunt Edgeworth attack and keep game tight.

It worked a treat. Shame it killed the game though. One of the poorer games this year. Maitland sat back just about always having 6 guys behind the ball or more, left and right back never once went forward. Maybe Maitland are hoping that Edgeworth will rest players next weekend in preparation for the western Sydney game? Gutsy call.

Resting players would be a dumb move for Edgeworth IMO.

It kind of looks like Maitland think they haven't got a chance dealing with edgeworth on a wide pitch. Should be an interesting return fixture next weekend.

The best game is tomorrow. Cant wait to watch the riverly, should be a cracker.

Olympic 1-0 halftime think that's indicative of how the game has gone. Could've doubled the lead right on halftime.

Magic coaches falling for the same trick again.

Getting over run in midfield

Finlayson anonymous. Haynes ain't running. Hoole playing poor. Leaves Kantarovski doing a lot.


Rather bizarre it has happened the last two times they played yet nothing changes

FT
Olympic 1
Magic 3

Cometh the hour

Cometh the man

Game on the line at 1-1 with 10 to go.

Kale delivers

Let the Fapest begin

I think Olympic are lucky Goodchild only got a yellow for that studs up aggressive tackle just after Kale put Magic in front.

That is gonna give them some hope.

Exactly what Olympic were doing going one on one at the back in the last 10 beats me
At 2-1 down going into second leg they are well in the tie.


Going 1-1 with Kale and Virgili who had them for speed seemed suicidal.
They eventually got burned for doing so

I can see Magic winning the game next week as well.
They only need to sit in and bludge off the pace of Virgili and Kale as Olympic push forward.

The more Magic hold them out the more desperate Olympic will become and will have to leave space at the back again.

Olympic were not at their best today that is for sure but they were exposed when put under some pressure.
To be fair they offered very little in the second half and when they went behind their attack got very narrow and unimaginative.

Gonna have to play a hell of a lot better next week and hope Magics attack is off.Even 1 goal to Magic and they are just about ****ed I fhink

I reckon it about 80-20 Magic winning the tie at the half way point

With a strengthening of the squad next week with the inclusion of Ireland and Brown I'm sure that it will be a different story next Saturday night. It's been shown week in week out that Olympic are unbreakable at home. We are at half-time in this tie and only a brave man or fool would write this tie over.

Magic will also be strengthened next week as well with Shane Paul back His commitment and work rate in the middle of the park is gonna be a huge boost to them

Hopefully by next weekend the linesperson can check the rule book to confirm you cant be offside in your own half...


Also shout out to the Hamilton supporters that tried to walk in with 15 pizzas and got your young children to carry the boxes... very classy... how many games did your team win today?

Not a very classy post, you should try winning with dignity

Hahahhaha... Yeah... coz if Magic rocked upto a Southy game with 15 pizzas in tow you would be so eloquent.

Nothing to do with pizzas mate, it's the last comment in your post I felt was uncalled for
