[andz]

For any southeners who intend to watch the game about 30 or so fans went to the Woodcroft tavern last MV vs AU match. I imagine there will be more this week.

GO REDS!!!

poor kossie! he can't choke anyone at this finals!

[pkblade]

Top effort to the Reds for making it....but, well that was embarrassing

[CONRAD]

I can handle a thrashing, but when you can see that the team just gives up.. it's not fun.

They did well to make it, if any of their early attempts had scored then it could have changed the nature of the game and it would have been a good game to watch.

Id rather a close game than a 6-0 arse wiping even if my team was in the lead.

6 nil

heard on the radio they were kinda fed up with some of the calls

humiliated

[Cooper]

I was at the Woody watching it with mates, terrible match, and even worse umpiring, we never looked like winning but it shouldnt have been 6-0 more like 4-1

[Pauly33GTS-t]

Kossies fault. What the fuuck was Greg owens doing at left back I would have reintroduced van dommel even if he is kinda shit.

Burns cant play midfield role. Bruce djite should have been on instead of veart from the beginning.

All in all disaster. Ross Aloisi should retire, Veart should retire, Costanzo should have been team captain, and most of whoever is kossies friends that get their start because of it should retire and f**k off quite frankly.

When Ronaldo plays for Adelaide United I dont want a scrubber team that can't pass to the feet like when Romario was playing. You don't go from brazilian league top goal scorer to nothing because your getting old within a year, it happens cause of bad servioce...

Huh? Are you making stuff up? Ronaldo?

Anyway I agree with nearly everything you said. Kossie should be sent packing and Aloisi should retire. They represent the leadership of the club and both were in the stands 30mins into the game because they can't control themselves. What kind of example does that set. Veart should go, maybe Fernando (his finals series was poor), maybe Ritchie.

Make Ang captain and play Spag, Burns, Bruce, Owens, Dodd etc. I'd rather see young players develop and improve than old guys get slower and play worse each match.

Melbourne were the better team all season and much better on the day. I think if everything that went against the Reds was reversed and every decision went their way they still would have lost - albeit by alot less - but Melbourne were too good. At least we can try and win some pride back in the Asian Champions League.

Dude its a prediction that will come true. in his retirement Ronaldo will have a stint at Adelaide United. because Romario will tell him to. I got that feeling.

EDIT: Definitely play spagz! hes the best.

maybe ronaldinho, kaka, robinho and adriano will follow suit in years to come?

[Pauly33GTS-t]

maybe. ive already seen them all play in person tho. (inter v Milan derby and olympics)

[EnricoPalazzo]

Kossie made the right decisions.

He had to put Owens at back to fill Kemp. Van dommel has had no gametime this year and was the right decision. Obviously Owens got attacked big time down the left. Taking him off was a funny decision. Maybe Owens is not match fit, he looked shit against Newcastle so who knows.

Also putting Bruce ahead of Veart is another stupid move. Bruce is great but does not have anywhere near the experience of Veart, and for such a big game Veart had to be played over Bruce. I also agree playing burns in mid is not his position. he would be better in Fernandos position, and if we had spags or petta we could of pushed them into mid field.

anyway thats about all i can say about the game. Comparing Ross and Kossie is just stupid. Ross f**kked up big time, and let down the club and forever will. The Kossie incident would not of change the outcome of the game imo

[Whiplash]

bad luck kossie may not be there next year after his recent outbursts

[Deluxe]

Minor premiers last year, and a Grand final this year! i say well done! 2 years in a row in the finals, giddyup! besides theres always next year!

[Pauly33GTS-t]

Dean I'll tell you a few things.

1. Veart is shit. The only time he plays good is if he gets shell shock from his Crystal Palace days. That rarely happens anymore. He can go to hell. I hope hes reading this the c**t. His shots during game was terrible, his positioning was terrible, his performance was terrible.

2. Bruce Djite is the future of the club and has the talent to move on to bigger clubs of english pedigree and as seen in the game, he came on flicked the ball up, volleyed it into the ground (reminiscent of a typical Ronaldo spinning shot) and unluckily hit the bar. He had a direct effect on the game.

3. Kemp is an ATTACKING midfield player. Has filled the forward void a few times before also. Hes no left back and he would have been caught out there also, not as much as Owens (being a Right footed player) but still would have cost us a loss. I would have rather put a central defender in that position than a right midfielder, Or even Ritchie Alagich on the left and A right midfielder in right-back. Either way spelt disaster.

Our team is to blame. we are shit, we need to improve and Veart, Aloisi, Kosmina, should all leave. Im not returning to hindmarsh stadium until all 3 leave and Costanzo is the Big C.
