If anyone has a spare RBB ticket they aren't using for NYD and are willing to pass on, please PM.

Back Page tonight = totally worth it for Jules Schiller's 15 second comment about how the (non) treatment of crowd trouble at the NRL on the weekend highlights how unfair it is the treatment the A-league receives in the wider media. The panel didn't disagree either.

As is the attendance of 20,202. It has gone under the radar a bit but the absence of the NT is very noticeable.

Hard to see Brisbane getting back here, and equally as hard to see Victory pushing Sydney FC next week.

Last night confirmed to me that it should be used for offsides and goal line only. Those things can be measured exactly into right or wrong (be it a millimetre or a metre). Most other things are interpretive, and should therefore be left to the referee. For me, the second goal should have been left alone as it was interpretive, but I am happy for incorrect offsides to be overturned. It doesn't matter how far he was onside, we can determine beyond doubt he was on, so therefore it should logically overturned. Whatever is done (or not done) the 'we waz robbed' routine is so entrenched i

Marginal? Come on, he was clearly on. It wasn't line ball, that goal was exactly what it is for. The second goal was dodgier, but lets face it, the best team is winning now and will win next week.

Yeah, I was tempted to go, because of the Boro connections as much as anything....but nahhhh can't be arsed parting with that much cash for that shyte.Interesting that there's an NRL game on tonight at Allianz between 2 teams for whom Allianz is not their home ground !! It was scheduled last October, not last week. No possible way the NRL would have known SFC would be playing there this weekend. My point was that it is not the home ground of either team. However, did the NRL move it from ANZ (Souths home ground) in anticipation of an A League semi final being played there? The scheduling

With a new manager. But he has done enough to be given a chance to show that he can do better than that scenario. ESFC finished lower last year than we did this year remember. It can be turned around. Popa deserves the chance to be the man to do that. If he can't, then it might be time to look elsewhere, but not before then.

Popa is owed another year. He has shown he can transform the side before, so he can do it again. The last thing we want is to become one of those farcical clubs who chop the manager everytime they have an average season.

On another note, May 10 is shaping up as the most irrelevant, uninspiring fixture so far in our short history.

They look a defeated bunch who doesn't want to be there. Friday night clearly exhausted the last remaining fight we had left.

Perth need to move heaven and earth to keep Castro here.

I agree but at the same time we've had too many clubs fold in the short life span of the league. The mistake was involving NZ clubs in the first place IMO. Agreed. They are here now, the league would just look like a basketcase if they were punted. Focus should instead be on bringing in new sides ASAP.

The hawaiian shirts are classic, as is Bobo's confused look down at the plate, and then back up to Arnie.
