The last time Canberra Olympic met Canberra FC in a grand final was one of the more remarkable days in Australian football history. Two penalties, one red card and an 8-5 victory to FC in the Capital Football Premier League decider two years ago belying all expectations of the occasion.
On the sideline that day as an assistant was Canberra Olympic’s head coach Leo Exarhos. While he is not expecting a repeat of the 13 goal thriller Canberra football fans were treated to that day, Exarhos has no doubt tomorrow’s title decider will be a similarly entertaining spectacle.
“There were a lot of nerves and inexperience present that day,” said Exarhos. “These games are full of passion and full of pressure, which is why you sometimes see the big scorelines.
“This time around the boys will benefit a lot from that experience. There are always nerves and mistakes in a grand final but it’s how you respond and how your teammates pick you up that keeps you motivated.”
The form guide would also suggest it will be a tight affair at McKellar Park tomorrow afternoon, with both sides claiming victories and a solitary goal separating the sides on the three occasions they’ve met throughout the season.
While Olympic have gone down in their two previous encounters, Exarhos is confident his side have greatly improved throughout their finals run and are ready to account for the league’s minor-premiers.
“Our preparation has been excellent,” he said. “There’s nothing like a grand final to bring out the enthusiasm in the players and the fans.
“We have a good deal of respect for our opposition but it will be close. We’re expecting a battle”
Now in his second season as head coach of Olympic, Exarhos has been blown away by the support he has received and is hopeful a big crowd will turn out for the twilight decider.
“I’ve been amazed by the excitement amongst our supporter base, with fans of all ages stopping me in the street to wish the team luck.
“We’re hopeful of attracting a crowd in excess of 4,000 people so it will no doubt be a tremendous occasion for football in the city.”

Parents at a territory school have been called upon to lobby against the ACT government’s marriage equality bill.
The Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) has begun its campaign against the bill, which was greeted with a standing ovation when it was presented to the Legislative Assembly on Thursday.
The vocal lobby has distributed a letter declaring Canberrans “should not acquiesce by remaining silent” and they should ask their MLAs to vote against or delay the bill.
The letter was sent to parents at Trinity Christian School this week in an email from principal Andrew Clayton, who wrote that the issue was “emotive” and parents should “respond according to your conscience”.
“Although this is not a usual practice for me as principal, I believe it is an appropriate response given the potential this bill has to impact the very nature of our school,” he wrote.
The letter was described by Marriage Equality Australia on Friday as ”scaremongering” that would ”offend the many Christian supporters of reform”.
Calls to Trinity Christian School were not returned on Friday.
ACL managing director Lyle Shelton said the letter was sent to the lobby’s Canberra database but he was aware it had since been circulated more widely, including by some schools.
The letter has angered some parents at Trinity Christian School who contacted Fairfax Media. One ”disgusted” parent, who asked not to be named, said “I don’t think it’s appropriate at all”.
The ACL letter said there had been no consultation with church leaders about the bill and it would be “naive to think” that any exemption for churches under the proposed legislation “will not be attacked in the future”.
Attorney-General Simon Corbell said on Friday the bill allowed people to have their say.
Mr Corbell said claims of “a secret agenda” to remove exemptions for churches “are just wrong”.
“Saying that it is doubtful that these would last … these are straw men being put up to try and argue against the reform,” he said.
“I’ve actually been contacted by a number of people from different religious faiths who have sought to explicitly tell me that the Australian Christian Lobby does not speak for them and that there are many people of faith in our city who are supportive of extending equality to same sex couples.”
Mr Corbell said he had also been contacted by parents from Trinity Christian School in support of the reforms. “I’m not surprised but I am disappointed that the ACL continues to make a range of inaccurate claims about the bill that was presented this week,” he said.
But Mr Shelton said the laws would erode freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
“In the very few jurisdictions overseas where this has happened there’s been attacks on freedom of religion,” he said.
He said Mr Corbell was trying to be “Nostradamus” by saying that would not happen in the ACT.
“Governments are free to represent their agendas but normally there would be a consultation process,” he said.

There will be no changes to euthanasia laws in Queensland. Photo: Jim Rice
Euthanasia laws in Queensland will not change.
Successive petitions asking for assisted suicide or euthanasia have been rejected by the Attorney-General, who acknowledges it as an issue which “polarises” the community.
“At the essence of this debate, is how best to balance the competing values of the desire of individuals to choose to die with dignity when suffering and the need to uphold the inherent right to life of every person,” Mr Bleijie responded.
Under current state law, euthanasia is a criminal offence.
Under the legislation, palliative care can be given if the incidental effect of providing palliative care is to hasten the other person’s death. But it also makes clear that the provision does not provide any justification for euthanasia.
“The Queensland Government has no plans to make changes to the laws in this regard,” Mr Bleijie said.
The euthanasia debate was last seriously discussed in 2010.

A Partida foi adiada para o dia 23/10/2013
Fim do jejum. Após cinco jogos sem vencer, o Bragantino sofreu, mas venceu o lanterna ABC por 2 a 1 na noite desta terça-feira, no estádio Nabi Abi Chedid, em Bragança Paulista, pela 23ª rodada da Série B do Brasileirão. Com gols de Alex Barros e do estreante Nilson, o Massa Bruta construiu sua vitória na primeira etapa. Depois do intervalo, um aguerrido Mais Querido, que terminou a partida com duas expulsões, descontou com Alvinho e colocou fogo no jogo, mas seguiu sem vencer fora de casa na Série B.
A vitória levou o Braga para os 30 pontos, subindo para a 11ª colocação. A equipe potiguar fica com seus 17 pontos na última colocação da tabela, a seis pontos do penúltimo colocado, o Paysandu.
Na próxima rodada, o Bragantino encara o São Caetano no estádio Anacletto Campanella nesta sexta-feira, 20, às 19h30m. O ABC vai em busca da reabilitação diante da torcida, no Frasqueirão, contra a Chapecoense neste sábado, 20, às 16h20m.

Desesperados pela vitória, os times começaram adotando postura ofensiva em campo. O Braga apostava nas jogadas para os pontas Tiaguinho e Dudu, que levavam muito perigo à zaga adversária se movimentando a todo instante. O ABC buscava usar os espaços pelas laterais do gramado para acionar a dupla de ataque formada por Alvinho e Schwenck. Expostos na defesa, era questão de tempo para uma das equipes abrir o placar. E foi em uma descida do lateral-esquerdo Alex Barros aos oito minutos que o Massa Bruta balançou a rede. O sistema defensivo da equipe potiguar se preocupou apenas com Tiaguinho e deixou o camisa 6 do time da casa livre para avançar na grande área e bater cruzado para marcar seu primeiro gol com a camisa do Braga: 1 a 0.
O gol mudou o panorama da partida. Em vantagem no marcador, o Braga passou a cadenciar mais a partida, no ritmo do meia Gustavo e aproveitava os vacilos defensivos do Mais Querido para arriscar alguns chutes na meta de Wilson Júnior. O ABC tinha pressa, mas não conseguia passar pela marcação forte da equipe paulista. Assim, teve suas melhores oportunidades em lances de bola parada. Antes do intervalo, a cadência do Massa Bruta resultou em mais um gol. Após uma bela troca de passes no setor de ataque aos 41 minutos, Diego Macedo foi lançado na área e rolou para Nilson só empurrar de pé direito para marcar o gol em sua estreia pelo time paulista.
Gol relâmpago muda o jogo
Na volta dos vestiários, o dono das falhas defensivas mudou de lado. Logo no primeiro lance da segunda etapa, Schwenck recebeu na área, contou com a batida de cabeça entre Yago e Preto e cruzou na medida para Alvinho completar de peixinho para colocar fogo no jogo no primeiro minuto da etapa complementar: 2 a 1. O gol animou o ABC, que partiu para o empate. Mas no momento em que vivia seu melhor período no jogo, a equipe potiguar perdeu o zagueiro Gilson, expulso pelo segundo cartão amarelo recebido aos 16.
Mesmo com um a menos, era o ABC quem tomava a iniciativa do jogo, criando chances nas jogadas individuais de Alvinho e Giovanni Augusto. O Bragantino parecia querer que a partida acabasse de qualquer maneira e pouco criava. O lateral-direito Diego Macedo era a única válvula de escape da equipe da casa, em rápidas arrancadas. Em uma delas, aos 38, arrancou outra expulsão do time poitguar, parado com falta por Bileu, que recebeu seu segundo amarelo. Com dois a menos, o Mais Querido não teve como reagir e seguiu seu calvário atuando fora de casa na Série B, onde ainda não venceu.
