Best result for us

A note here - as long as Melbourne City beat Victory in the semi, we're in the AFC CL playoffs, win or lose against Sydney.

But this is our best chance of a trophy in 9 years so I want us to give f**king everything to win the Cup.

Melbourne City beat Victory i

Err MC lost on pens to the fire chickens didn't they?

They sure did but same result if they win we win

Victory is the only team who can win the cup and knock us out of the ACL

I’m a lot less confident in Wellington getting the job done than I would have been with City.

Given the how the games are spread ... Saturday night then Tuesday night back up is a tad tight especially when no ones played for close to a month... wonders aloud why teh match could not have been moved to Wednesday night...

What a story that would make....of course I'm not cynical and never would suggest match fixing or referree bias if it comes to that. I'm sure no one in authority or marketing would rather victory win than us....

Yeah that was my worry.

 

[shipwreck]

Yeah that was my worry.

I'm guessing they couldn't officially assume that the Melb City match will be cancelled.

What a rough job the league schedulers have at the mlment

 

[Ironbark]

Syd have played games recently and we haven't. Still, I feel we can win this for sure.

Not sure if I'll be able to watch this live yet - aarrgh!
Hoping when I'm back I can get a YouTube replay. Being a semi there's a chance

 

[midfielder]

Saturdays match looks like being cancelled... Jest have 3 players with Cov and a number complaining of feeling sick and expected to test positive

If so we go into Tuesday nights game with no game time in a month against Sydney who have had a games...

I'd be hitting up say a Wellington or even Mel v and doings closed door game to get some minutes into the legs. Big ask against Syd now.

Both teams have Covid cases, Macarthur or Wanderers the logical one

 

[FFC Mariner]

You assume that we dont have current cases either

. in the current situation i can't see any club wanting to play a non-competitive fixture and risk further postponements

True that but the situation certainly disadvantages us.

 

[shipwreck]

Someone within the club alluded to the fact that this was good for us.

I suspect we are below the minimum threshold of players to justify a postponement but the players who are infected / unfit to play are key ones...

 

[Ironbark]

Interesting...
