Thanks Stuart- was at a wedding, so I was busy - read your summary - I know where I would have preferred to be!

Lolkey has a new 2 year contract. I don’t think Tallay will renew Gomes, Lacerda, Rodwell or Mac. Imagine that money spent on what Tallay is usually able to find and unearth.

Sydney pay the price for not making more of their first half dominance.... City still best in the league for falling over and disrupting the game.

FULL-TIME Both teams needed a win, but neither got one. Thanks for being with me for the contest, it was a privilege to bring it to you. Stick with the Roar this evening for all the A-League and Matildas action. No winner tonight, as the second A-League match of the round ended in a draw. Sydney FC…………………………..1 Melbourne City……….…………...1
