Major Semi Final (2nd Leg) - Sunday 4 February 2007
Melbourne Victory - Adelaide United 6.00 PM Telstra Dome

I will be in Melbourne for this!!! Fuck yea I might go, you told me there wouldnt be any on Brent!

I didn't know. Everyone only found out after the game on Sunday who was playing where.

Oh, so who here ives in Melbourne?

Where do I go to get tickets? Bear in mind I know my way round all of central city, how to get to Telstra Dome, and anywhere on train out to Belgrave but thats it.

Will tickets sell out? I will get there sometime tihs weekend, maybe monday.

Yes tickets will sell out i think mate. Melb and Adel are fierce rivals and if Melb get any type of result on the weekend over in Adel,there will be a full house the following week.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow to the general public and as far as i know members have been snapping them up fast.

Go to www.melbournevictory.net/forum for info (delete the link after you click it if you want )

I will allow it just this once, might get my old lady to get me one this week.

go to any of these outlets to buy tickets

general public tickets go on sale today,
should be a good match

One day, can't freaking wait

Great win for Sydney. Their first half performance was their best in a long time, but they dropped off so much in the second they were lucky to get away with it. Terrific goal from Rodriguez though which leaves the tie very open.

Not too disappointed with the result. One stage there in the first half we were all wondering how many would be put past us, but credit to the lads they held in there and luckily Milton scored the away goal.

Tie is wide open, don't count us out yet!

One thing i was very disappointed with was the crowd. How could a population of 4.5 million only get 21,000 to game on Public Holiday when there wasn't much else on?

Adelaide v Melbourne has finished 0 - 0.

Thanks bud, booked and paid for me ticket and just have to pick it up.

Cant wait for the game now, first match has set it up beautifully.

YESSSSSSS!!!

2 - 0 win over Sydney in the 2nd leg see's us go through to the Preliminary Final after a 3 - 2 win on aggregate

I could go into detail about the night but i'd be here for a long time.

Can't wait for next Sunday!

man that sucks, well I guess I'll be cheering Newcastle half-heartedly during the Finals...

We were outplayed, outsmarted and undisciplined. I'm not too disappointed though, we've done OK given all the problems. The poor discipline on-field this season hasn't helped. If Butcher's going to stay he needs to change some things in terms of his man-management and the team's style of play.

Melbourne are through to the GF!!

Pulsating finish saw Melbourne snatch a goal in the 92nd minute to win the game 2 - 1.

We play Adelaide next week in Adelaide. Can't wait!

Fark fark fark fark fark!

Tough way to lose, but given the way the season started the Jets can hold their heads high.

Melbourne - Adelaide it is. For some reason I've a soft spot for Adelaide (Burns, Djite, Dodd, Spagnuolo - I really rate them) so I'm hoping they'll be able to maintain pressure for the full 90 as opposed to fading away after a promising start. Melbourne should win though, a better team who haven't had to use up anywhere near as much physical or nervous energy.

Get in there Melbourne!
