Thrilled for Waibop after that 5-1 win over Waitakere.
Congrats to Wade Molony for his hat trick, the first a real stunner that set the platform. And for the quotient of attacks the team created overall.
Waitakere have some good players. But they're not really a team, are they?
This was Molony v Baloney.
Was irritated by the commentator persistently saying Waibop have never previously beaten Waitakere. Perhaps not undert the Waibop handle, but this is a carry-over of the same franchise licence as held by Waikato FC since 2004. For all intents it is the same outfit.
Or must we wipe history after a name change? Must we disown, for example, that classic 2-1 win over Waitakere at Centennial Park?
Must Southern United now forego all its Otago United heritage? Thoughts please.
Like Jeremy Ruane's observation that home teams are really struggling for points this summer, with just one draw.
