ooh, who scored?

Don't think you can blame the keeper for the second one. Sure, if you get hands on it, you'd like it to be saved, but there was some shocking defending from a set piece to give a guy at the back post a free header.

 

I think Deano should have done better with the first one from long range. Good strike, but it didn't look like it was right in the top corner. Should have been able to tip that around the post for mine.

 

Nice little finish by Fofanah too.

 

Also - I LOVE that kit.

That kit is amazing! I want it now!

 

The players look exhausted from that heat. Nice goal from fofanah. Do we know who the starting XI were?

Black shorts!

 

Also, that's a nice jersey, 3rd kit perhaps?

Fancy FIFA staging a World Cup in this region in 2022 #knuckleheads

Don't worry, it'll all be air conditioned. People will only die on the way to the ground.

And while they're being constructed.

Red-Red Hoops o.o

They look a lot like the Red training kit, I guess the only difference is the hoops.

Neat finish from Fofanah there, nice goal. Bit disappointing from Deano in goals but only a friendly, good to get a run in the type of conditions we'll face in the ACL final :)

I'm presuming that this new addition will be the pre game warm up strip for this season

Loved all of the live updates from Wanderers!!

 

Oh wait...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was nothing live/ no updates on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram etc.

 

 

"No Wifi" is a cop-out.

 

 

 

Ah well - hard to be disappointed in that respect when no expectations were made... :unknw:

It's still only pre-season and between 6pm and midnight the temperature varied between 38 to 33 degrees.

Did you really sit up on social media between 1:30am and 3:30am trying to get updates ?

We haven't scored more than 1 goal per game all preseason. Nothing to do with the heat.

No.
We just knocked out the Champions of Asia over 180 minutes and made the Champions League Semi Finals. I think we're doing just fine.

 

I can't believe people are still questioning Popa or the team. F*ck me.  :woah:

No - I went onto their Social Media pages this morning, sat down with my coffee, ready to read how our boys went  -  but was sadly disappointed.

That's twitter for you  :cheeky:

 

Amazing how the majority of the A-League clubs manage to provide sufficient  updates during their pre-season matches, but we struggle to.
