Wanderers Win Tight ACL Contest

If we do qualify for the next phase the only negative side is that we lose Ono, as his new contract would begin with his Jap club i believe.

I think Ono would still be around for the first knock out round played in May if we manged to qualify.

Beat Kawasaki away and then all we need to qualify is a draw from the remaining 2 games

If Guizhou fail to beat Ulsan and we beat Kawasaki away, then we've qualified. We'll have 9 point with 2 games remaining and Kawasaki will have 3 (but we beat them head to head) and Guizhou will have 2 maximum (if they draw with Ulsan again).

Means Popa can focus on the HAL.

2nd Round is immediately after the Group Stage. Its a few days after the HAL Grand Final. And Ono is contracted for that too.

 

Quarter Finals are later in the year, August/September-ish

lol @ some random Kawasaki fan coming up to me and giving me his scarf after the match outside the ground... the 3-4 minute convo that followed was off the charts, I didnt know what he was on about and he sure as heck had no idea what I was telling him... Part of which was "melb is a **** hole, dont waste your time going there buddy". Bloody good ppl those Japs!

 

I was behind you when this was happening and I was trying to work out wtf he was saying. When you asked "what happened to your boys out there?" and he just nodded in agreement haha He was a champion! Saw him later on taking photo's of Parra. BRING ON THIS JAPAN TRIP!!!!

Given what we saw of Kawasaki last night, I'd be rapt if we got a point from them in Japan

funny video from last night

What's it of tranquilo?

Great result and i thought, given the team we put out, it was a good display. Some what similar to last year

 

Gotta mention this

 

In the second half we had 3 (i think ) corners in a row and thought to my self we must be over the 200 mark now without scoring!.

Teams must reckon a corner for us is better than a throw in for us!.

 

I gotta moan again about the $10 for a program when they are freebies for a league games

If we cant score from a corner against the smallest team we have played in all our time then what chance do we have against bigger sides.

 

Last night saw us have corners against midgets and we did not ever look like getting on the end of a cross.

Daniel Mullen got his head on one.

We'll never score directly off a corner.. :/

Heffernan took a pretty good corner, but Ono sent two directly to the goalkeeper.

Popa's subs were interesting for me. Ono was gone after 65-70 mins, Juric not long after was also gone but decided to keep them on. Did Mullen get injured? The Cole sub at RB was odd IMO unless its was an injury.

I think this was an injury. Santa was waiting on the sideline for ages (for the ball to go dead so they could complete the substitution) and the light up sign flashed a couple of times and was red 9 green 11. Then when the sub was finally made, 33 came up in red.

 

I think Popa just took the opportunity to have three strikers out there considering Cole could jump back into RB. Also could be due to Mullen's limited game time recently which means he tires easier.

Last sub was a last minute change. The board was originally flashing to have Juric off.

Popa said after the game that Juric wasn't meant to last the full 90, but Mullen couldn't run any longer.

ah can't link or don't know how to a facebook video here. Its 2 of our fans who went next to or inside their away bay and were chanting RBB ole ole while they were chanting their songs. And the guy on the front of this article, the old kawasaki fan was closing his eyes and rubbing his play unicorn like he was placing some kind of curse or voodoo on them and our team!

When Adelaide did well in Champs league it was because they were able to keep their shape and be near impossible to break down. We rode our luck last night but I tell you Adelaide did the same. 

 

The result last night came it a key time where if we lost the getting out of the group could be as near as gone as our next 2 games are the toughest.

I'm tipping we spank Perth this weekend and hopefully last night sets up a nice run to the finals and to the knockout stage in Asia.

They get too fast and everyone burns out, some need to be slowed down hard.

But like I said, it's always faster in the terrace.

 

As Nick said, you'd wanna have the tempo of our chants are a steady pace because as soon as we start pumping them fast then the people singing and jumping will get burnt out too quickly, which then means the chant's intensity won't last as long. Also means us drummers won't die out there whenever chants are played faster.

Lol I wanna see it now. They were a funny bunch even had a couple of white guys chanting in jerseys with them but the Yoshi goal counter banner on the fence with double digits 00 made me lol what were they thinking Yoshi was going to score more than 9 goals. I doubt the Yoshi counter will be back for our away game.
