Sydney FC A-League Women’s Match Day Thread - 24/25

Just like Bernie?

I’ve posted in other threads about the flaws in the talent identification process in the country. Speed and power are preferred over technical ability.
That perfectly sums up both Bernie and Prinny.

Still time for amazing scenes

Ugh

Shit scenes. Sorry but that’s horrible keeping.

EDIT: Maybe a tad harsh on the keeping. Striker had too much time to pick her spot there.

FMD

That one is on me

Our keeper situation is beyond parody. Howlers every single week, regardless of which one Ante picks out of a hat that week.

Nowhere in the game in this country is it more prevalent that if you have the money then you can buy a spot for your kid than as a GK in a women’s side.

I know that comment is going to get a lot of noses out of joint but it is the way it is. I’ve seen it first hand where a player whose family’s investment was such that, despite the inability to kick or catch a ball, they were in the team.
Having to teach someone how to catch a ball should probably be a decent indicator that they’re not cut out to be a GK. Given that it’s not just SFC that sees these howlers every week then I think you can see where the problem lies.

There was plenty of time to send the ball long before the turnover that led to the goal too. Some poor decision making this season

I know Juric has juggled two clubs before, but I wonder if that is having a negative effect this season. The usual chemistry, even among players who have been there for years, just doesn’t seem to be there this time.

Nice day for it out here, we look ok-ish

Looks like could be a knee problem for Farrow

The referees in the ALW continue to bring deep shame to their families.

Did I really hear a “Melbourne! Melbourne! Come on you girls in blue!” chant?

Very tidy strike from the Hawk to put Sydney 1-0 up at Leichhardt against Brisbane.

And now it looks like Olivia Sekany has done her knee in goals for Brisbane, just collapsed unchallenged and needed to be stretchered off.

Yeah didn’t look like much. Hope she’s OK

Are the replay screens new or have I just not been paying attention?

The surface looks a bit sandy. Hopefully it didn’t contribute to her injury

Looks like they heard me yelling shoot farken at every opportunity

You can thank me for that one. I made a snarky comment about Shea Connors in the group chat when she came on.
