He was down at the ccma/blacktown trial last Saturday watching his brother run around for blacktown. My wife reckon he had a limp so still possibly injured.

Round 20 - Sydney FC [H]
- Thread starter jacobsfl
- Start date
Personally I am struggling to get enthused about this game and my other half has flatly refused to attend, as she has had enough of the deliberate underinvestment in the team crueling any chance of CCM being genuinely competitive.
Let’s be honest with ourselves here, we would need to be at our best and SFC have an off day for us to get the choccies. No doubt some will call these comments defeatist but that’s just how I see it. SFC may of course have heavy legs after their ACL exploits but I’d be pretty doubtful that they wouldn’t have planned to deal with that and there is a reason they are 10 points clear at the top of the table.
Until such time as the club can find a way to at least spend the cap, I am afraid we are doomed to repeat the cycle of failure, as has clearly been shown over the last 6 seasons. I am honestly not sure how much more of this sort of purgatory I want to put myself through, whilst the club doesn’t seem to really understand how much it is killing the passion of us fans.

I'm not bothering. 6pm on a Sunday? Will sit in front of my TV with a drink.

Watched the game last night and thought, "I recognise that keeper's style, I am sure he used to play for us".
He’s been fairly decent this season, the WSW game was a bit of a shocker but overall he’s been good. Kept them in it plenty of times this season with quality saves.

I am not expecting a result but will be there, to eat the prawn sandwiches, and as always keen to watch individual performances and tactics of the coaches.
I also see my membership fees and my attendance as a small way of contributing to the wellbeing of the Club which needs every little drop it can.

I agree with many things you post Oz.
But it hurt agreeing with this one. I’m more excited about mowing my lawn today than watching the boys.
And as I posted in the podcast thread just before. Seeing that the jets are likely going to sign Bernie I’m just incredibly angry towards the club again. I’ve been mostly understanding this season because I’ve seen positives in stajs coaching and some performances etc but I’m at my wits end after this.
They should be pulling all stops to sign a former player, former fan favourite and one of our genuine golden youth boys who’s been available for at least 2 months based in Sydney. And in all likelyhood didn’t even make contact. Who could genuinely bring some bums on seats, some excitement and some f**king goals. And after the scum just gave Roy more money than before Bernie wouldn’t be chasing big $$$ right now.
Livid.

I would love to see Bernie back, however for a player of his quality not yet being picked up in the A-League already gives me pause to think and wonder how bad his injury may be. He had a club lined up but failed the fitness test.
I would be concerned that he may not play this season.
That he has not been snapped up rings warning bells.

I have only just decided to go. It was the game or football training and training nearly won out.
In saying this, there will be twenty guys at training, all passionate about football, some regulars, not going to the game. I can’t really blame them.
This is the biggest disappointment in the trajectory of this club.

I have the sort of week coming up when I need to maintain complete focus at work and not end up with a frustrating distraction Sunday night - as such I don't even plan on watching it on Kayo at this stage.
Whether we turn up and get beat, or don't turn up and get beat - it's frustrating / infuriating either way, just at different things.
Historically I've always really enjoyed the Sydney games. In all honesty, when I lived on the coast in the early years I found them to have an even better atmosphere than the derby, and the games were usually better too. Even through our dark years the Sydney games have often been entertaining.
But this week I need to look after myself - and I know we're going to lose anyway.
MC didn't save the club all those years ago - he just seems to have stretched out its demise.
Man, imagine how much more free time we'd all have if he just let the damn club die rather than let it wither away.
Local bottle-o's would probably have been worse off though.

Understandable mate

If the players cant turn up and be bothered, how can you expect the fans to?
