Initial final thoughts

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Once again a Grand Final will probably be best remembered for its refereeing decisions rather than the game itself. Although to be honest the game wasn’t of the standard worthy of the biggest game of the season. It probably distracts from what in reality was a well taken goal by Tom Pondeljak, a goal I managed to miss whilst waiting in a queue for a hot beverage since half time. It was a night ruled by decisions and my decision to stay in that queue whilst all that action was taking place probably wasn’t my best one in four seasons of A-League watching. Will post more thoughts later in the day, although you will probably see it on my regular 442 blog post.

Congratulations Melbourne on becoming the first team to win the championship and the double twice.

Thankyou

Monday, January 26th, 2009

I would like to thank the following people for Melbourne winning the Premiership Plate and an automatic ACL berth:

  • Danny Vukovic for making a number of crucial saves last night against Adelaide. That one with his face was certainly a classic
  • Paul O’Grady for his stellar performance in the heart of the Mariners’ defence
  • Aurelio Vidmar for choosing to start with Paul Agostino instead of Cristiano and always going with one striker
  • The woodwork at both ends of Bluetongue Stadium for denying Adelaide on at least two occasions

For my thoughts on Friday night’s, check out my latest 442 blog post.
