KEEP FOOTBALL AT FOOTBALL GROUNDS
While it was fantastic that 33,000 showed up to Adelaide Oval for the usually brilliant United-Victory clash, there’s no doubt the surface ruined what should have been an excellent spectacle of football.
The hard, slippery surface of Adelaide Oval killed the game on Friday night and did not allow either side to play their usual possession-based style of football.
The atmosphere at Hindmarsh is electric for this clash and the fact that the fans were a good 50 metres away from the action hurt the spectacle too.
Of course, this all overlooks the financial factors of pulling a larger crowd, but the playing surface destroyed what should have been a good game.
ANDY KEOGH CAN BECOME AN A-LEAGUE SUPERSTAR
The Irishman may not have the flair and trickery of some of the A-League’s best players, but his strong mentality combined with an excellent eye for goal means he could become a genuine A-League star.
After his hat-trick heroics on the weekend, Keogh took his tally to four goals in two A-League games and the diversity of his goals means that he’ll firm as one of the bookies’ favourites for the golden boot.
