ALL WHITES V BAHRAIN - Official 2nd Leg T

We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere at the stadium!! By far the best in this country. The crowd was loud. This goes to show that football crowds are a 100% better then rugby crowds. Full participation. darkhorse2009-11-15 01:45:46

COURSE THEY'RE UP its a monumentous occasion they can share mine were, not that i'm worried bout them hearing it ,...they hear worse from me lol

Liked how they didn't rush the half-streaker and let us all have a bit of a laff at the end.

"You're the convicts, you're the convicts, you're the convicts over there."

wow so excited. must get to sleep now... cnt wait for it to settle in. I wanna see sooo much media on this tomorrow. yayah

Isn't it a great feeling to see our team on FIFA website - Latest news http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/newsid=1133338.html#kiwis+qualify+south+africa

Paston is god, Fallon is god, soooo f**king drunk.....what the f**k....

COMMMMMMMME ON YOU ALL WHITESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!  FALLON, PASTON,,,, YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOO

Re Fallon, he is either a devout christian or it was just the euphoria of the moment that saw him give praise to God, Jesus Christ and the power of prayer in one short interview. Those interviews were so funny yet so moving. Uh oh I'm welling up a wee bit again just thinking about all those man hugs....

too drunk and excited for masty times

Steady StopOut mate, steady!Junior822009-11-15 02:21:25

Yeah, I want australia, at least they should play us in a friendly, see whose the best in this part of the world, we can take em!!!!

Can I just say Chris Killen is an amazing football player. Absolutely amazing. He made so much space and so many chances out there. I've never seen someone who can basically hold the ball like a midfielder and then always be forward when we're going forward. An absolute pleasure to see himplay. Easily MoM for me.  F..k me what a game, what a night.  We're marching on to S.A.

it was emotional, it was tense, it was the greatest game ever, now best mates with the blokes around us in 22, insane, amazing, mental, i love everyone!!

You are not the only one with a lost voice.

Just back from one hell of a party at the 4 Kings and I have probably had one bevy too many.

Having savoured around 20 Scotland away games throughout Europe, including two World Cups (Italia '90 and France '98) and one Euro Championships (Sweden '92), I have never experienced passion, atmosphere and a roller-coaster of emotions like what was experienced in aisle 22 at the ring of fire tonight.

It was up there with witnessing Scotland gub England 1-0 at the last ever competitive International at the old Wembley in Nov '99.

Unbelievable!

Anyone up for a cheeky wee trip to South Africa next year?

By the way, Smithy I hope you put some money on that result tonight?

C'mon All Whites!!!

God I'm so drunk and have a flight back to Auckland in 3 hours... pretty sure I'll be vomitting ont he plane.

man i'm hapy w8sted. wheres santa? i wana trip 2 south afrika noww

Was that a dream?

nope! our AW's r makin headlines around the world.

[QUOTE=paulm] Replace Ricki with Graham Henry in the same circumstances.
"Yes, well it is  good result for NZ Rugby, but we still have a long way to go before we can be satisfied with our performance.
I will be sitting down with the other selectors tonight and anylising the video replays, blah, blah, blah...

Guess what ball all the kids in Manawatu, Northland, Tasman and Counties are going to be kicking around next winter.

Rickl sitting down last night to analyse videos. Yeah Right!!

Now to keep the momentum going - 

omg we did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 seriously have no voice right now!!!!! paston you legend!!!!!!!

pinch me....."reaches for tissues" as he reads back thru posts etc...great noise....aisle 22 and flow overs looked great from eight.

Was it all a dream? No hangover too, could this weekend get any better!

Yes we can! and we did. now excuse me while i finally drop off to bed.

front page of ESPN!!!

What build up games can we get before SA and can we get a decent team back to the ROF? Now that would continue momentum for football. Bring the AW's back here asap!!!!!!!!!

Well that lived up to expectations!!!! Great credit to the team in a match which could have turned against us at any point. While we in the stands were completely losing our composure the boys where it mattered kept theirs, defended committedly and made good use of the ball going forward. The fact that we must have had far more shots on goal compared to Bahrain (in spite of all their possession)gave a good indication of how well the All Whites played last night.
A couple more things:
White Noise - big ups! We were in Aisle 9 and to look over and to see a full almost totally "whited out" section going for it and then so many shirts off with ten to go was awesome to behold! I didn't hear many of the chants from the(avert your eyes Frankie & Tegal) chantbook but it didn't matter. What mattered in the end was the noise and it was fantastic around the ground. they were really getting into it over our way and there were even a lot of shirts off too.
Drums - were they a worry? Were they heck as like! Hardly heard them all game. The Bahrain supporters added to a great night too. They must be gutted. zizoustainrod2009-11-15 09:01:23

i still dont believe it was it a dream

Absolutely fabulous night, the atmosphere was electric and the noise deafening. It was worth all the nerves and worries over the last week, great stuff boys and well done to the YF crew for the Whiteout campaign.

so im sitting at work reasding all the sports headlines around the world, feeling the proudest i ever have to be a kiwi football supporter.

btw matt ryan no one stole your beers  they were borrowed

just heard Piney relive the night on ZB

Listened to the radio throughout the match. Tim Brown did this exasperated string of honest expletives, "I was so p*ssed off when I was substituted (at 90mins). I wanted to be there at the end" then he just laughed. Nice to hear a bit of passion.

The noise at the end was deafening. Voiceless, speechless, content.

When Fallon scored the commentators had to explain what happened about 20 seconds later because they couldn't hear themselves think.
Great when chants spread from section to section.
Loved the beating of the bins on the way out, that set off prolonged chanting with us packed together.

off to Palmy for the day for daughter's dance performance (she's a footballer too )

holy sh*t i still cant believe it.
the state of ricki herbert in that interview is superb, i dont think you will ever see graham henry show passion like that.
south africa here we come
