Season 14: Week 1

Adelaide vs Sydney to kick off the new season. Are you ready to football?

Really looking forward to seeing how Toure goes up front for Adelaide. He has been getting rave reviews in pre-season.

Ya, ya I agree!

VAR gives Sydney a penalty, ALF converts 0-1

ALF with a brace after some terrible defending by Adelaide. 0-2

Jeez, Adelaide look awful.. 

Maybe we better then Adelaide :D

Mileusnic with a great free kick just before half time, 1-2

They've had a ton of good chances though. Amazingly they are still without a decent striker.

Maybe a more experienced keeper would've done better there. Or is that being too harsh? Don't think he read that situation well.

who is Andy Harper? His FoxSport graphic :1992 NSL winner. 

Was hoping to see more replays at half time but sadly Sky isn't taking the half time coverage.

Yes very minimalistic. Not a lot extras for the money.

Maybe. Good hit and a training ground distraction routine. 

Toure!! 2-2

good finish

Straight red for Strain for a DOGSO on ALF. Adelaide down to 10

Soft red, but i mean you only reach out and grab someones arm from behind if your trying to stop them. It was a pretty clear red, le fondre probably would have scored

Kosta!! 2-3

Denied by the VAR, 2-2

Alex Brosque would be proud of that dive.

Really stupid from Strain tho, as soon as you grab the striker he is always going down.

Hardly a dive; he grabbed his shoulder and Le Fondre was looking at the ball the whole time. Blatant card. His own dumb fault for miscontrolling the ball then reaching across.

How good is this Toure kid btw? Looks brilliant

Not anymore!

Both these teams look good. Lots of attacking quality. Has been an entertaining first game.

Gee that's poor defending

McGowan with a free header and it's 2-3

I really enjoyed that game. A decent one to kick the season off. Only concern is  VAR. Speaking of which, Nick Waldron again tomorrow. I hear he recently sent off 8 players in a lower league game. Anyone know anything about that?

Good to see the Adelaide crowd back in numbers too.

High drama game. Good start to the season.

I'm going WSW 1-0

Good to see Stensness straight into the starting lineup. Hope he does well.

Anyone else trying to watch the Sydney B vs Central Coast game on Sky Go? I can't tell if it is my internet being shark or if I should be getting angry at Sky, it's almost unwatchable the stream quality is so bad.

Looking very solid so far. Not sure how long Kim is out for but if he takes his chance, he might make it hard for the Gaffer to drop him.

CCM open the scoring with a bomb from outside the box, 0-1

Duke levels things up from a corner just before half time, 1-1

Nice header but the defence shouldn't be allowing him to do that.

Keeper got down and got a lot on it, if that was Kurto it was a pretty easy save.
