    GOAL O'donovan.Neil whips in a cross, headed back out to Rose by the Jets,Rose shot deflecs to Fabio who nods it down to Roy who taps it in.
    Amusing bunch of tweets about their GK situation too... would appear Izzo has been dropped. Ivan has played the entire game, Izzo wasn't subbed on and didn't even sit on the pine for the end of it.

    There's nothing better than preseason games against the Mariners. I can't think of a better way to make the derby during the season more meaningful tbh.

    OK

    Considering the financials of it??

    Getting a HAL club from interstate here isn't that cost effective.

    Even getting a game V the Sydney sides has costs

    The NPL ain't of sufficient standard

    End of day loading up a mini van or Two is the easiest and cheapest option for us

    Until we are adequately resourced it is the reality of it

    More than a year after being released by Sydney FC, the bone bruising in his knee - in the wake of a ruptured ACL - has proven too painful, with Carle confirming his playing days were over.

    He will now focus on coaching kids and scouting some as possible candidates for Sydney FC’s academy.

    It marks the closure of almost two decades of a football journey that took Carle from the NSL and the A-League to France, Turkey and England, earning 13 caps for the Socceroos on the way. If that career was, in his own words, a mix of “massive highs and massive disappointments”, his highlights reel will always be worth watching.

    Injury has ended the playing career of former Sydney FC star Nicky Carle.

    At his peak almost a decade ago, Carle scored the A-League’s goal of the season and was its player of the year. He also took huge professional pride in adapting to a wide variety of football styles, though not to a level to convince Socceroos coaches that he should be a regular selection, and his love of football survived even being cut from the national squad on the eve of the 2010 World Cup.

    “I’m devastated at having to call it quits because I love football - I would have played until I was 50 if I was good enough,” Carle said. “I’ve always been passionate about the game and that passion has never dipped - I love training, I love playing. But you know, I’m also very grateful to the game for giving me a job doing something I love and some unreal experiences.

    “Pulling on the national team jersey was the pinnacle - I was lucky enough to play at every level, from U17s through to the senior side, and there’s no bigger moment in your life.

    Read an interview not so long ago by Carle, said that he thought he was at his peak and played his best football in his time with us.
    There seemed to be a misconception that he was a little lazy....a lazy player does not make a "box to box" run in the dying seconds of injury time to score the winning goal.

    Also, how good do those gold jerseys look under lights!!!
    If we ever go back to gold, it has to be this real gold look, not "yellow" gold or that "dirty" gold look of the one-off design of last year.

    Yeah look that is a funny post and all but its wrong very much because everyone knows Griff is first and daylight is second.

    and you spelt Jobe wrong.
