Back to back wins, beat the Smurfs 2-1.
Sydney played a man down from the 28 minute mark and United took the lead in the 62nd. Sydney levelled not long after and despite having plenty of chances it looked certain to finish 1-1 until Carrusca scored in the 95th

The indoor sport centre I manage has being doing some promotion work with AU and were last night given the oppurtunity to provide the mascots, ball boys and mat holders for the evening. 50 children all up plus one ticket for a parent per child

Must say the professionalism and manner of the AU community strengthening manager Tom Sharpe was amazing!!!!! Did an absolute brilliant job in relation to giving our kids the oppurtunity, his ability to communicate and respond promptly and then his organisation skills on the night!!! This also extends to all his voulenteers who so enthusiastic and patient with all the children

For many of our kids it was their first ever A-League game and a once in a lifetime experience, we took 50 kids along and I can guarantee AU now has 48 lifetime supporters guaranteed (not including my two girls wink wink).

If ur soccer club ever wants assistance from AU or even just a couple of players to come out to their training speak to Tom, he will do his best to help you and promote the AU brand

The game was great and was so happy to see AU get the win on the night,

I can't speak highly enough of the oppurtunity AU gave our kids

Points in 3 games straight now. Had to settle for 0-0 against the Jets again despite bossing them for long stints. Hit the crossbar and upright but simply can't score for all the domination

Blatant dive from Berisha in the box earns Victory a penalty v Perth, 1-0. Bring in mandatory 3-match bans for dives, IMO.

Henrique scores from halfway into an open net after the Melbourne City keeper went up for a corner. Brisbane 3-1.

Call it the A League, call it the NSL, call it whatever you want, you can't polish a turd.

Again the competition has fallen foul of the people who "support" it and it will eat itself and fall into another farce of a "football" competition.


Not much mentioned about the 90 people kicked out on day1 of the boxing day test match

You also won't notice cricket supporters walking out of games in support of the 90 drunks.

You also won't see the faces and names of the 90 people kicked out in a national mainstream newspaper being claimed as criminals and terrorists despite some of them actually not facing criminal charges.

Do we know how many of the 90 were actually banned (cf. ejected) the other day?

Never seen anyone called terrorists or criminals mentioned but having been to some finals in Melbourne it does have that feel about it at times, I've only felt scared leaving one sporting event in this country having to hide my colours in fear at a soccer final. And that was after we had to get moved getting pelted with glass from behind.
Drinking for 8 hours and getting kicked out of the MCG amongst tens of thousands others for being pissed is different to morons.that rock up to games with explosives looking to create fear and havoc.
The soccers only rival in this area are some of the western Sydney rugby league teams.
I've never felt threatened at a football match (except for some at Elizabeth) nor the cricket nor the basketball , soccer has a pack hooligan mentality unrivalled.

People were kicked out of the cricket for skulling beers, throwing plastic empty cups during Mexican waves and making plastic cup snakes (no doubt idiots amongst them that deserved to kicked out) you can’t compare that to starting fights, lighting flares and enticing violence!

Williams is a deadset hack. So we get rid of one of the few guys who can defend and bring in a injury prone dud, what a joke

A well deserved point from United. Thought they had a real good dip, still could do with a striker
