Roly on debut.

Good to see Roly back and scoring but eish he looks unfit. 
I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.

Not sure he has played much these last few seasons

I am stoked that Brisbane won tonight - helps our cause a bit.   And it is good to see Rojas score a perfect header - a carbon copy of a Chris Greenacre goal years and years ago.

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

Sounds like the Roar game had issues with the Queensland Police as well.

I went to the WSW game in Week 1, it was so strange seeing Cops everywhere. Not something we get at the Stadium.

Be interesting to see if that changes with the Nix verus Auckland derbies. Those clowns at the VUC game, shows that it would be naive to not at least be prepared, for some chance (small) of trouble

Looked like the cop shoved that kid for clapping his hands? No wonder they have problems at games if the cops are provoking people.

And the RBB are in boycott mode.

I have no idea what happened. I'm pretty sure looking at a 5 second video does not give you the full picture.
That said all of this RBB stuff bad news and the security and police should have a de-escalation strategy.

yep, no doubt if there were shenanigans then they would have been cropped and don't tell the whole story, bit like var. Still, based on that short clip the reaction looks unnecessary. Combined with some of the other information coming out, it doesn't look like a proportionate police response.

Those fans actually looked pretty relaxed and that cop put himself in danger by isolating himself from his support. Especially when he appears to be the provoker. Yes, only a short clip and who knows what led up to it BUT the body language of everyone in that clip was relaxed. no one appears to be mouth off. 

The term/technique Number 8 is looking for is AWOCA. Asking, Why, Options, Confirming, Actions. A well known Technique and followed by using de-escalation techniques. To me, this Cop was trying to move people along but with a more than subtle hint of "Or Else".
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

What a collapse by WSW. Shambles FC.

3-1 now to WU, defence no where to be seen on that 3rd goal for Rukavytsya, he basically walked it in. 

Pretty much the story of the last 5-6 weeks for WSW. Like their fans, the Wanderers have gone AWOL. 😆

Really looked like WSW would be challenging for the title for the first 3rd of the season, big implosion, if they don't get their shark together they won't be in the 6. 

Wonder if rudan is under pressure.

Yeah, I notice Rudan seems to always be sitting down on the bench watching  in his last couple of games compared to his usual self

They extended his contract a few weeks back. Hope they stay together for the next few years
Need to watch last night presser, this is cardio workout for me 😂

I think we broke him with the "2-0, loser" moment. The wheels have come off since then.

Bruno has the Victory ahead in the Original Rivalry at HT. 0-1

Note: The Sky TV program guide says its delayed for lightning strikes but it isn't. Someone has hit the wrong buttons.

Interesting tidbit from commentary. The Victory play at Amy Parks in 6 of their last 7 matches. The away trip to Wellington the only time they have to travel. They could make a late run with that kinda schedule.

I'd put Sydney in the possible late-run category too. Only two of their last eight games are outside of NSW.

Off to Perth we go. Loads of chances for the Jets so far. 0-0

Gosh I hope Marco and his mates can do us some favours tomorrow and halt Sydney’s momentum. A 0-0 draw the best for MacArthur and CC?

I think I would prefer Macarthur winning.

Mauragis makes it 0-2 with a deflected goal. Perth need something special to get back into this one and frankly it doesn't look likely.
