Two years ago, now. 

Yesterday.  Listened to a full replay of that amazing night.  
 
All with Piney's, Chotey's, and sideline Dan's nerves, terror, lols, excitment, and joy. 
 
What memories.

Piney's Commentary is one of the best bits of live radio  sports coverage I've ever heard  ,I had the edited pod cast highlights as a ring tone on my cell phone for weeks after the game !!
Had all the emotions captured raw and very natural ,easily beats  most of the generic /boring Pommie commentators you get covering international football games on the telly nowadays !

Here's the some of the highlights.  In chronological order.
 
P=Piney
DC=Chotey
SD=Sideline Dan
 
1st half
 
P: Final thoughts chotey?
DC: Hero today is going to be a local boy.
DC: Gotta say it's a real nervy start from the AWs.
DC: Ho ho ho, first chance to the AWs.
P and DC: Ryan Nelsen, immense. [repeated throughtout]
DC: Love it piney.  Love it.
DC: QUality ball, Leo, quality ball.  Gives us a chance.
Crowd: Same old Bahrain...
DC: Little bit of possession, nothing wrong with that.
P: It's hits the bar!
DC: Oh my lord!
DC: Good period for the AWs.  They've settled.
P: It's a shot from Bertos, and it curls just over!
DC: They're Fifa-sized.  [technical areas]
DC Tim Brown.  He loves tackling.
P: Milan Mac...[bahrain coach]...he's a real character, talked about the fifa ranking.  Said they only mattered on Playstation.
P: Great save Paston!
DC: The crossbar saved Bahrain, but I can tell you, Paston just saved New Zealand.
P: Fitardi.
DC: They're gonna be doing doggies. [Brown and McG]
SD: He's still going A'ish at him!  [Bahrani frustration]
DC: Check this out.  THe Bahraini's dead.  No he can't be.  He's rolling around.
P: The Bahrainis didn't bring much medical stuff.  One looks like he brought a small tool box.
P: A small cross is all that's required.  A fantastic save from the Bahraini keeper!
P: Jacey John - it came off his knee!
DC: Chance.
P: Ben SigmUnd turned into a right winger there!
DC: Better ball.
P: Headed in!
DC: [goes absolutely A'ish].
P: Fallon...more than made up for his earlier miss.  He's put NZ into a 1-nil lead!
P: That'll do for the 1st half gentlemen.
 
****Miles Davis' somewhat controversial song
 
****Radiosport host - Triathlete Watson - "Absolutely Fabulous there in Wellington.  Hey look, now let's change the focus a little bit...[talks extreme sports]..."
 
2nd half
 
P: Winner goes to SA, for the loser - well you don't even want to think about it.
P: Referee says...
DC: Penalty.
P: Yeah it's a spotty...I want to see them stop celebrating.
P: SAVED!!!!!
DC: MARK PASTON - YOU CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SD: Footballing karma - the way they were celebrating.
SD: A beer. He [Lochead] owes him [Paston] a keg.
DC: A little bit Wellywood.
P: Ryan Nelsen, superb.
DC: #$%$@%.
SD: Now now.  Watch your language.
DC: Ryan Nelsen, he's livid.  But he was furthest forward.  But he charged back to get into position.
P: They're rattled Bahrain.
P: Smeltz!!!!  There was the opportunity.
SD: We should sign him.  [Nelsen]
DC: It swung out!  I've never been so excited about a ball going out!
DC: This was my nightmare.  1-0 with 20 to go.
P: Brown, he's had about 3-4 Vs [energy drinks] at halftime.
DC: Oh mate, this game is on a knife edge.
DC: Mamood...can't even say that...can we just call him Mamood?!?!
P: Ishmael Al Huck Ishmael is coming on.
SD: Ishmael Ishmael?
DC: Izzy Izzy.
DC: GO ON SHANE.  YOU'RE AWAY SHANE!!!!!!!!!!!!
DC: I've got shirts off all round the ground!
P: 12 minutes.  12 ciggies.
P: cHRIS wOOD....Turns  18 NEXT MONTH.
DC: Killen.  He's worked his bollocks off.
DC: GO IVAN!!!!!!!!!!
DC: Looks like Muhamud Al Hobo is coming off...and who?
P: A dangerous place to give away a freekick.
DC: This would be devastating, Piney.  I'm not watching.
P: Yip.  It's difficult to watch.
DC: I tuned away not to watch, but my face was in a monitor!!!
DC: CHRIS WOOD GO ON SON!
DC: SMeltz stuck his head on it.  But fallon was as free as a bird.  I'm not complaining I'm just telling you!
DC: He has, and he hasn't!!!!!!!! [Smeltz miss]
DC: Have you seen anything like it [the atmos]...
P: No.
DC: Ivan's been pole-axed...Yellow card for the Bahraini...who cares.
DC: It's over, it's over...
P: FULL STEAM AHEAD SOUTH AFRICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to have a copy of the game separated into 2 videos, one for each half. However the commentary was from Eurosport and, although they got the names right the entire match, it just didn't seem right.
