Round 5 - Sydney FC vs Western Sydney - 23/11/24

Aren’t you the lad who recently flew half way around the world to see a couple of matches?

I did it and it was great. Following football across the world is a lot of fun, but it’s football in the end. If I saw a Sanfrecce player and a Sydney player together hanging out, it would not affect me or somehow ruin my day or my life.

Players are human beings that exist outside the confines of the club and the sport. Whatever players do in their time when they aren’t playing, I don’t really give a shit. As long as they aren’t doing crime, it doesn’t really affect anyone’s lives.

it hasn’t stopped them using him to market the game :wink:

If it were Victory players I might care.

Ah sorry my apologies, I thought you were talking about the trains running and not the golf mixer

To be honest I’m more grossed out by them playing golf than doing it with players from another club.

I thought I had made it a “reply” post, turns out I hadn’t, so it was my mistake not yours. We’re all good.

Better to hang out & play golf than eat cupcakes.

There aren’t that many professional footballers in Sydney, they’re going to hang out with each other occassionally. Also I can confidently say that sometimes you like the players on the other team personally than your own. :wink:

Sounding like Lolley and Sena definitely good for Saturday, but still doubts over Costa.

Surely we play him on Saturday and then just leave him at home when we travel to Eastern…

No news on how the backline will look, though apparently Gurd got some minutes in a friendly over the weekend. Can’t see him starting.

Pro athletes are pretty competitive people.

If anything they’d be even more keen to rip their golfing buddies on the football pitch.

Absolutely. Makes the banter at golf or whatever even more enjoyable.

Just had our first snow in Europe (living in Germany since 2019) - and, of course, I had to.

Distinct lack of firing up in this thread.

Really need to start calling them western suburbs imo. Not worthy of the title of Sydney.

Since we love a ‘United’ in this league, rename them Cumberland United.

Is the light rail running……?

Not to Cumberland of course :ninja:

In Western Sydney light rail is just an empty train.

I’m still not feeling it today but there’s no denying it’s a bloody lovely day for a game.
