It was a good goal.....maybe offside....

But the Roar win it in the end, 2-1 with a last gasp goal from Vidosic!

Keeps their season alive!

Vidosic has been great for the Roar in the last few games.....

The Roar still need a win against Sydney next week, IIRC.

28,937 is a great crowd for Melbourne considering they were up against 80,000 at the cricket, and leading into the finals, the game is only a dead rubber for the Victory.

Great win for Queensland.

If Rikki Herbery stays on, would that be enough to justify to keep New Zealand in the A-League since they have beat the likes of Sydney and could avoid the wooden spoon.

But football like anyother sport in New Zealand will always be about 5th choice behind rugby so it will be hard marketing wise.

I guess it would rank in NZ like this:

1-Rugby
2-Rugby
3-Rugby
4-Rugby
5-Cricket and so forth

Reckon they've done better this time than last time, but they're always going to struggle unless they can,
a) Sign an absolutely gun marquee player
b) Promote it better (which is a catch 22, when a team does badly less people go to the games)
c) I reckon a few 'home' games in a neutral stadium in a part of Australia which has no easy access to a team could potentially increase their chances of bringing in more interest in the club. Clearly very risky, but potentially could work out.

If Rikki Herbery can get some All Whites over they have a future IMO, there biggest problem is that they can't get top Kiwis to play for them.

Also there only three points off Perth Glory, so they can still avoid the wooden spoon.

Fair enough getting the likes of the those in play in the lower divisons in England or Scotland, but he will be up against it getting the likes of Ryan Nelsen etc. to come back.

Adelaide have moved to 2nd on the A-League ladder after an 86th minute goal to Fernando gave them a 1-0 win over Sydney.

Currently 1-1 between Glory & The Jets, i'm queitly hoping Perth can pull off a win, which in turn would mean Newcastle HAS to win against Melbourne next week to have any chance of making the finals.

EDIT: HARNWELL!!!!!! Proving he can score goals better than he can throw a right, puts Perth up 2-1

EDIT x 2: MAGDIC!!!!!!! Another Glory Goal, 2 in 3 minutes and Perth are up 3-1 :D:D

Meh, Melbourne will thrash Newcastle on Friday, thus ending the little hope they had of playing, then the Roar will follow it up with a similar thrashing of an obviously inferior Sydney team :)

Nah can't go either :(

Was wanting to go, as i'd be in Brisbane that day, and i'd never been to a Roar match before, but have some engagement party to go to 8-).

But i'll be trying my hardest to get to the game once we get 2nd Place, and a Home Final :cool: :) :) :) :)
