Adelaide are doing very very well and I cannot wait for them to play SFC at Aussie Stadium in 2 weeks!
See you there Adelaide

Knee injury may sideline Beltrame
Sportal
Adelaide United keeper Daniel Beltrame may be forced to watch this weekend's Hyundai A-League match against New Zealand from the sidelines because of a recurring knee injury.
It would be the second successive match for United that Beltrame has missed after he was suspended for Sunday's 1-1 draw with Central Coast.
United coach John Kosmina said the keeper would be closely monitored this week.
"He's not suspended anymore but he's had a problem with a knee injury that blew up in the Perth match," Kosmina told ABC Sport.
"We'll have a look at how he goes this week but I was quite happy with [replacement keeper] Robbie Bajic last night - he did more than enough to keep his spot."

Big game this weekend, Yorke out with international duty but it will still be very tough.
See you at our place
I'll be sure to think of something abusive to shout at you

Yes, we'd love to be the third team to win at your ground
cheers!This should be built as a massve game. I'd be expecting both Rech and Qu to start up front for Adelaide United and it should be a really good hit out. I'd expect this game to be low scoring and probably a draw. I've predicted 1-1 and I think Rech will score a goal.

Rech just thinks of winning
Advertiser
SINCE signing for Adelaide United, Fernando Rech has had only one thing on his mind - winning the A-League.
After two weeks in town training with his new team, Rech feels confident he can accentuate Adelaide's flying start to the new season.
"I want to be champion," Rech said. "I want to win the championship.
"Secondly, I want to play good football and maybe be the best player in the championship."
The skillful Rech gives coach John Kosmina attacking options depending on the opposition.
He can play as an out-and-out striker, or drop into the midfield behind the front runners as an attacking midfielder.
He is also an aerial threat in opposition penalty areas.
The Brazilian made his league debut in Auckland at the weekend, nearly scoring with a strong header late in the match.
He will get his next chance to impress at Aussie Stadium on Sunday in United's top-of-the-table clash with Sydney FC.
But what fans will be watching closely is the development of a partnership between Rech and Chinese import Shengqing Qu.
"I think he is a great player," Rech said.
"I don't think I will have a problem playing with him.
"I've seen the way he likes to play, and I hope we can score a lot of goals and help Adelaide as best as we can."
Rech - who had three years with the Brisbane Strikers and one season with Parramatta in the NSL - said he had noticed a considerable difference in many aspects of the game with the introduction of the A-League.
The 31-year-old has been impressed with the fitness and skill levels in the A-League. But perhaps the biggest change Rech has seen has been in Kosmina, who Rech played under at Brisbane for three years.
"I think he has improved with the new competition," he said. "I can see he is more relaxed than he used to be, and doing a couple of different things at training.
"I think he is a different coach, and this is going good for him."

Can't attend the Sydney game, got my own 6-aside competition to attend to.
We'll miss Yorke, Adelaide might win but i'm predicting for a draw.

I think it will be very tough for us even with Yorke still out but I'll take a draw.
I'll settle for a draw, but I do want SFC to win by one Optimism people, optimism!!!
Well, I guess Adelaide should be trying to come and not lose to us. In fact, they should come for the win - aim high Adelaide

Our away form has been incredible so far. We've already gone to Newcastle, New Zealand and Perth and won so bring on Sydney!!
I have never seen such a load of crap refereeing in my life. Sydney's 2nd goal resulted from a freekick that was not even there. Same happened last week with Sydney's 2nd which was clearly a Perth throw. And the amount of diving and 50/50 decisions they got was incredible.
I thought a draw would of been the fair result. Not to mention the clear handball plus red card on the line.
Oh and Eddie Maguire eat your heart....the most biased piece of commentry I have ever seen from Slater and Evans.
Will get them when they come to Hindmarsh. Still top anyway!

^ feel hard done by with our first loss of the season do we 
Hmmm, well, I have to agree the ref was an idiot!
Hmmm, well, I have to agree the ref was an idiot!
I had to settle for listening to this one on the radio. Adel Utd sounded very harsh with the freekick that lead to the winning goal. I guess that's football but it sucks when one dodgy decision cost us the game
Also, sounds like we played some good football, were unlucky to have Timpano clear one of the line in the last minute or something too?
Sydney have finally won at home, now Adelaide must bounce back....
What was it like at the game HippyKitty? What was the deserved result? Don't be biased now

The game was great!!! Shall post the pic in the SFC thread for you
Think a draw would have been the best result tbh with you. I know you Adelaide people will think that you should have won and I can say that we deserved the win, but we both had dodgy ref decisions put onto both of us, so let's just call it a truce. I cannot say that SFC were the better team, but if I am being honest, I expected more of Adelaide after all the hype and while they were not that bad, they were not any better than SFC. Fairly evenly matched teams. Great game. Screamed so much my voice has gone
Looking forward to seeing your pics Jess.
Still think a 1-1 draw would have been much 'fairer' but hey the game of football aint always fair!
Sydney have suddenly responded and are picking up their game.
BTW - The crowd was very disappointing... 17,000 when all the hype was suggesting close to 30,000. What happened there?? I think the missing Yorke factor showed in the crowd numbers

Yeah, I was a little disappointed - and I wonder if those who did show thought Yorke would be there
- but then it was almost 18, 500 there, which is more than 17, 000 Then I thougt about it, while still being disappointed withe the crowd numbers, Adeliade is not really the state that we really hate with a passion - that is save for QLD and Melbourne, so when they come to town, expect a big crowd. Yes it was a top of the table clash, but I wonder if people really cared. It was not that well advertised either. ANd this is not a big football state with the rugby and also now the AFL - makes it worse that we won both! - but maybe after that hype has calmed down, we can get some people in. It would be nice for SFC to get some back-to-back wins at home and away and keep it up so that people want to come to games and then we can get the crowds we want!
The crowd was better than the one against CC Mariners!!!
I think a draw would of been a fair result. But hey that's Football.
Ohhh and any United fans there who are going this week I encourage to try and bring a friend. If every that goes atm can bring a friend or 2 we can fill Hindmarsh up.
I think we should get at least 13,000 to this game now that the stupid AFL has finished. Its a friday night game right?
Hope Aloisi shakes off his ankle knock, he is essential to our team....

Of course, I am a season ticket holder. 
I'm getting my ticket at lunch time. First home game for Rech and Qu to start up front together (hopefully).
Gates open at 6. Be there!!

She was telling the lady in front of me that the Western Grandstand was not available for tickets? Hopefully it is already sold out.
I don't care I got my cheap 'blue' tickets - General Admission. I'll be behind the goals with the rest of the raving reds

Now you come out.
Where were you bagging us 2 rounds ago.
After the last 2 weeks I have to say I don't fancy Sydney much. I hope the Tards get over you this week.
Did you goto the Djibrilliant?
Btw does anyone have thematch from Foxtel? I should have got on tv when i punched a ball!

I did go. I got the game and will be uploading the goals later.
I was at the game. It was a big crowd - very entertaining game. Adelaide made too many mistakes and we were made to pay for them. The 4th goal came on the counter with us pushing forward although to be honest we could have conceded another 2 easily.
I'd like to see Alagich back in the defence. We missed Aloisi and Costanzo when they were subbed.
A shame we didn't get a win with a strong crowd tonight. Another bloody 2 week wait for another home game - WTF?????

Don't get me wrong, I do not agree with the way it is either! I have had the same problem as you!
It sucks and it is not the best way to get a regular crowd - no one knows when the games are on if they are not regular!
Our biggest crowd of the season (13,200ish) and we go and fluff up and concede 4 in the process. Highly entertaining game if you were a newcastle fan (there were about 5 behind me). I'm sure the next game will be as bigger crowd so long as we fare ok for the next two rounds on the road.
What is happening with our defence guys? We've conceded alot of goals lately, I say move Richie Alagich back to the DF and drop Van Dommel who was fricking terrible in the first half. The crowd knew it too, we all started cheering when he made a pass. Kossie should have dragged the nut at half time - disgraceful performance.
BTW - How's Micky Valkanis, he's scored like 3 now I think....

Sorry to keep asking you djibrilliant but can you remember Adelaide scoring a goal on the ground this year (as in kicking a goal not heading one)?
We did v New Zealand and Melbourne.
We're top of the table again!!! Bloody awesome result to win in Qld vs the Roar!!
2-1. 2-1. 2-1. 2-1 ole, ole. ole. ole.
