ROUND 4: Queensland Roar Vs New Zealand Knights

[Allsopp's ALLgood]

7 minutes in and it's 1-0 to QLD thanks to a McKay goal.

The 'Chinese Beckham' is on the bench for QLD and Dani Rodrigues is starting his first game for NZK.

[irish]

Ive got $20 on Queensland to win 3-1

[still_rocking]

what odds you get irish?

[still_rocking]

I knew I brought a Mc into my team from QLD this week, but it wasnt McKay it was McCloughlan or something. Doh!

[colmane't]

Was that McKay's first goal for Queensland this season? Go NZ!

[Allsopp's ALLgood]

37 min..still 1-0 and a yellow card to Neil Emblen (NZK).

Any guesses on the crowd?

[irish]

what odds you get irish?

dont know yet mate dad is on his way back from the city with it im only 17 so cant get it myself just told me dad to put it for me.

ill let you know when he gets back.

[colmane't]

Half time: 1-0 Matt McKay (7)

[Allsopp's ALLgood]

Both teams seem fairly evenly matched, with NZK just up on possession. Should be an awesome second half, hope NZK put up a bit of a fight.

*wishes my sister would free up the tv*

[El Zilcho]

Murdocca on for Paker
Dilevski on for Reinaldo

Simon Lynch 71st minute. Both lynch and reinaldo are on fire. GAME OVER!!!!!

[jonk]

Nice work Roar. They are off to a flier as well

[Socceroo_06]

Another Goal!! 4-0

Milicic in the 81st minute.

[El Zilcho]

Next home game after the Mariners is against the Roar, hopefully it should be a top of the table cracker.

Oh and Irish, looks like you've done your money :D

[BigV]

5-0

[still_rocking]

Does anyone know if lynch got any assists? he's in my dream team, and im outright first!

[BigV]

They have 5 minutes to break our record.
14 shots to 1 2nd half, domination

[El Zilcho]

This is crazy, are the Knights playing really bad or are QLD just on fire? How is their Chinese guy doing?

[amnesiac]

gonna be a ripper when we play them at OP.

[still_rocking]

chinese guy is doing well apparently. ive seen a little bit briefly. and he had a great shot.

[rusty]

Shame how NZ have suddenly dropped off. I s'pose it's a tough ask to play the top 2 in consecutive weeks. ;)

Crowd, anyone?

[Socceroo_06]

5-0 in the end, Geez i can't wait till we play them, what an entertaining bit of football that will be.

[Dasher39]

Crowd, anyone?Crowd was 15,517.

Probably more to do with the fact they were playing NZ than anything. But with a big 5-0 win and a game against Adelaide next week, under 20k would be disappointing (weather permitting).

[Clint]

This is crazy, are the Knights playing really bad or are QLD just on fire? How is their Chinese guy doing?
Knights were woeful in the second half... looked really tired. Zhang looked good... gave an assist to Milicic and had a hand in the 5th as well.

[Popos]

Queensland are great on the eye, if we weren't to win the Championship I'd be happy to see them win it (obviously not at our expense).

[andrew]

mmm i chose milicic as captain too this week in fantasy league, had a gut feeling the roar were going romp it in.

[Victory_PerSempre]

Damn am I impressed. Can't wait for Victory against the Roar. That's going to be classic!

[Victory2006]

Best decision I've made in fantasy this season was to put in Reinaldo, and keep the faith with him. He's paid big dividends. :D

[jonk]

What's up with the Knights...... I feel sorry for them, two thumpings in a row. To the top two teams no less, lets no forget that.

Top two teams. I like that ring. :D

[irish]

Next home game after the Mariners is against the Roar, hopefully it should be a top of the table cracker.

Oh and Irish, looks like you've done your money :D

yeh true

dad put $50 on roar to win 4-0 almost got it.

he would of had something like 500

[Duff-Man]

Gee the Roar do look really impressive, they have real fire power up front with a couple of quality strikers signed in the off-season, Milicic we all know he can play and their new chinese import Yuning Zhang looks to be a gem, great touch, control and makes dangerous runs really compliments the Roar side well.

Can't wait for Victory Vs Roar, Bring it on!

[El Zilcho]

Ha - That penalty was the first the Roar have ever been awarded in the A-League!

[Matt_TY]

Would it be premature to welcome back the Knights of 05/6?

[sj]

Would it be premature to welcome back the Knights of 05/6?

Yes, that would be too far.... but it's not looking good.

If they can't pull some decent crowds this season, the FFA may have to look at revoking their contract.

[TP]

reinaldo as fantasy captain this week, good choice

[Clint]

Felt a bit sorry for poor Sime Kovacevic out there. His first A-League start and he was thoroughly thrown into the deep end against Reinaldo, Milicic, and Lynch. And then Zhang came on!!

[stmookeyj]

Do I have to ask the question every week? With thumpings like that, why do we have an NZ side in the comp again?

[jonk]

Lynch is new as well eh? I reckon he's good.

[Carlton life member]

Do I have to ask the question every week? With thumpings like that, why do we have an NZ side in the comp again?

because we need at least 8 teams to make a comp
and they put up a viable proposal

don't be too quick to wish death on them
unless these is a new franchise waiting in the wings, the A-League needs them

[bazza]

South > NZK

[T-Mac69]

I'm just glad that Ante Milic scored, In my fantasy team. :) Now I just need Super Danny Allsopp to light up O.P tomorrow.

[andrew1116]

It wouldn't surpirse me if the melb v qld game gets moved to the telstra dome....

A top of the table clash with 2 very attacking teams would really bring a crowd.

I'd much rather watch the game at the dome than at olympic park

[Simon]

Geez i can't wait till we play them, what an entertaining bit of football that will be.
Yeah.

And to think that we played against them in a dour 0-0 draw only last month :D :cool:

[traja47]

New Zealand was very poor, their defence is too static.
To QLD credit, their players moved into space a lot and the Chinese international is not bad...

[futuremelvicstar]

5-0 in the end, Geez i can't wait till we play them, what an entertaining bit of football that will be.

The top 2 teams playing the best 2 styles in the A-league funny how last year the top 2 teams were not playing the best style it's a sign of football moving in the right direction.

[Allsopp's ALLgood]

Very vocal crowd for just 15,000!

Zhang is looking the goods, gets in the right spaces. Lynch is a good little goal sneak and McKay's brace was impressive.

Although, Da Costa's celebration was a little over the top for a mere penalty, but still, good viewing nonetheless :D
