I just wanted to congratulate the Edensor Park Boys for chanting for a total of 17 seconds over 90 minutes, averages about 1.1 seconds per Ultra you guys brought to Belmore today.
Second congratulations to Luka Glavas for showing why he is Golden Boot winner as well with 0 goals today.
All round a very impressive performance from everyone from King Toms.

This afternoon Olympic contained and fended off a less-than-inspired Sydney United outfit to reach it's first Grand Final since the National League days.
Playing into a strong first half wind, the control was flimsy and the attack almost non-existent.
Sydney United also overplayed their passes with many going long - quite a boring and lacklustre start to a game that anticipated so much.
With Olympic missing Studman, both squads had their full-strength lineups.
Glavas for United seemed like the only one to threaten however with all the shots, crosses, goal-mouth scrambles and corner - Henderson in goals provided confidence to the team in the difficult circumstances.
Towards the end of the first half, Olympic won a few corners that Gullo couldn't quite pin well, however front he other end a C.Triantis corner found Luksic a bit deeper and his leap into the ball found the net to put Olympic 1-0 with minutes to play in the half.
The second half was less turbulent however conditions were very uphill to the trailing Sydney United team.
Olympic fought well and again was highlighted by a determined midfield of Gullo, Makrys, P.Triantis and C.Triantis.
Smith and Mileski up front were keeping United busy and the Olympic defence scrambled well.
Some yellow cards crept in during the match as tensions rose, with United players also receiving them.
A deep corner in the 54th had Mileski at the far post head across goal to Giannaros who jumped in to take Olympic ahead 2-0.
Things were not looking good for United and with the pressure mounting, the substitutions that eventuated were strange.
Lyons as a defender was replaced by a defender, then their sharp-shooter Glavas was replaced, followed off by the experienced Ufuk Talay.
The mood amongst the Sydney United squad did not reflect a team that had to pull out all efforts to win.
They have a few opportunities late in the game however the defence and ever reliable Henderson kept the sheet clean.
The final whistle could not come quick enough for the roar of the crowd to signal Sydney Olympic's first Grand Final in the NSWPL.
It's a nervous wait to see who the opponents are come Monday 3rd October, with the danger team of Blacktown coming home strong in their campaign.
Congratulations needs to go out to all involved with the club - it's a huge effort to get to this stage.
Rumours of a Belmore Sports Ground Grand Final excites the supporters even more, and hopefully some long-lost supports make an attempt to better the moment with the diehard regulars.

In the last 3 years I have been invovled with Olympic in the state league as a fan today was the best day of them all.
We finally make a grand final since the NSL, good crowd today, nice atmosphere and buzz around the gorund!!!!
I want United in the grandfinal, they have fans, two big clubs and 2 sets of supportter groups it doesnt really get better than that for me.
With regards to todays performance we believed more than they did and our squad is on fire!!
Alex Smith has lifted the whole team to believe again.
No one in our squad had a bad game

Not sure whos quieter, the Sydney United fans on our forum now or the Sydney United fans at Belmore today LOL
CLEAN SHEETS FOR HENDO we barely missed Studman at all today
Top game from the Triantis bros Hayes had a shocker imo he is key for them fuck Rudan fuck Talay and fuck Vedran sick keeper
Smith seemed to play deeper than United expected him to put them off surely
Gullo was tender after the butchers tackle but worst case Angel is ready
They'll probably lose to Blacktown next week lol

Well done boys. United had a few clear cut chances and I got no idea how they missed em. I got a feeling Blacktown will beat United in the semi next week. I wonder if United will be playing away from home again for their semi.

We didnt put away our chances so we didnt deserve to win the match. If you cant score from a meter out then you shouldnt bother

I like Jensen. We havent lost a game there in a long time and their surface is pretty good
Then you've got the added bonus of the playhouse lol
