Tiger Derby goes in 0-0 at HT. Apia well on top though.

Game looks a bit dire with both teams out of season.

Apparently the Quarter Final is on Sunday in the middle of the double-header in Melbourne.

[mack]

Cooma have grown into the game as Apia have really tired out and had to use all 3 subs/windows already.

[mack]

Nick Popovic gets a 2nd yellow after a bit of an elbow. Very dumb. He's been the best player in the match up to that point.

[mack]

Apia down to 10 as well, one of their players has done a bad leg injury.

[Unlimited]

We play the winner of this match on 7 December right? They're falling like flies. They may not even be able to field a full team

[mack]

Okay this is nuts, Cooma down to 9 after another 2nd yellow. 

[Unlimited]

Second yellow card for the... orange Tigers. Down to 9 men. Really bad and late tackle.

9 v 10 people now

[Davo]

So next week we’re either playing a team that’s all injured or a team that’s all suspended.

Its pretty clear the teams didn't put enough deep heat on before the game

APIA has another player who is limping around, although looks like he might continue.

Don’t mind Phil Moss as co-commentator.

[mack]

Apia go back to 10 with the extra time sub.

Reminds me of an Over 35s division 3 game with 2 reds to the one team 

[mack]

APIA are actually back up to 11. They had one of the hurt players come back on as well as the extra time sub.

[sonar]

I've been watching this game and tbh I have gotten more excited over watching paint dry than this game. If we don't pump the winner of this by 5 or 6 goals CR should walk away in shame.

Keeper!

[Sithslayer1991]

WTF!?!?!? Keeper what a boss

[mack]

Apia score 2 very late on.

[Davo]

Shot from the kickoff hits the crossbar. This game is awesome.

[mack]

And another.

3-0 is a flattering scoreline.

[marron]

3-0 in ET tells a bit of a story really.

Was really cheering for Cooma Tigers at the end there. Real sucker punch... plus two more copped afterward.

Football isn't fair sometimes.

Apparently, The Wanderers play APIA Leichhardt at Leichhardt Oval (not at their home stadium, Lambert Park).

Yep Lambert is a plastic pitch so A League teams won't play there 

Leichhardt is ok though @Unlimited the pub food at the Orange Grove Hotel is good

Their should have been 2 reds to the Mariners last night. Lewis Miller should have got 2 yellows.

Interesting to see the referees not scared to pull the cards out. In seasons past, they were told to keep players on the pitch.

Such a shame. Lambert would be epic.

Yep I played on it years ago before they made it plastic was ace, had.an underlights game and I twatted the ball into the stand NTS style felt great 

[Paul01]

So CR will trot out most of the team that played in the friendly with the strike players on the bench plus the fact we play the Bullsh1tters on the weekend. And the Bullsh1tters play on the Wednesday and the Smurfs with 1 less day to recover.

Margush, Gordon, Tass, Natta, Wilmering at the back

Potentially Troisi to start. Is Baccus anywhere near fit?
