Awer Mabil off to Danish Champs Midtjylland. Set to break the Aussie transfer record and looking like netting United a nice little $1-1.5m.

[Footy Smart]

reports Gombau will leave Adelaide United and take up an offer in the USA.

Would have no problem with that, NY would be a huge step up in not only $$ but exposure.
Hopefully Amor gets the gig if Pep goes

[RB]

Confirmed, Amor is the new head coach:

[Jim05]

Very happy that Amor got the job, absolute wealth of knowledge and very good tactically.

[stampy]

no media at the pressa, strange

[Browny25]

Gone Bau

[Jim05]

Amor makes his first signing bringing in Eli Babalj on loan from AZ Alkmaar, pretty good get IMO

[Wedgie]

Oh god, I think I need to find a new side. What a monstrosity of a kit! Go the palm tree!

At first I thought it was a cannabis plant. Whoever designed it may have been under the influence of the stuff.

[carey]

Not really a huge soccer fan but got $2.55 on the victory over Adelaide tonight and I feel like shit so thought bugger it I'll watch it. Are Melbourne normally this big of frigging sooks? Lead by that FU*k wit Muscat. If I didn't back them geez I hope they'd lose. Lol

[Brodlach]

Ordinary game so far

Yes they are Carey

As I said not a huge follower but yeah seems Ordinary. Very few decent shots on goal.

I should've said shots on target!

[Jim05]

No surprise its not a great game, terrible place for soccer. Most games held at AO are a farce.

Why? I'm not being a smart ass genuine question. Players said at half time the surface is perfect?

Of course they say that on tv. Privately you will find it a very differant view. In the past both clubs have complained about the surface. Ball skids on a lot more and the surface just isnt ideal for soccer. If they trained or played on it more often they would adapt but very hard playing 1 game a season on it when you are used to playing on one of the best surfaces in Australia

[valleys07]

Both sides have been very average tonight.

United's shooting has been woeful, Victory's decision making has cost them at least 1 goal.
