I’m glad that it has taken Pine commentating on AFC games for people to realise he is a terrible commentator.
Honestly I would rather listen to Harper then him
Give the man a break, imagine how hard it was to commentate the Nix games this year? He got a bit overexcited which is OK. Spoonly on the other hand annoys the shark out of me.
Bit more than just being over excited though you can accept stuff said in the heat of commentary. But Piney has said stuff on the radio and on social media like "never been seen in NZ before" that just makes you shake your head. Guess the big city lights have turned him.
I've always had a grudging respect for Victory (plus a one night stand last night). Established and well-supported club with an air of arrogance - I said respected, not liked! So may back them against M City, although City are finding form at the right time. Hopefully the big crowd returns to AMI Park.
APL are desperate for cash and are overcharging for finals tickets (relative to the demand for these tickets in the Australian market currently). But Victory v City got 22k in the elimimation final one week before Victory v Nix got 15k in the semi last year. Victory v AFC got around 15k in terrible weather last week so I am expecting a healthy if not completely sold out AAMI.
This really is a fantastic video of the Rogerson 'goal'. Even shows the Assistant in the perfect spot to see it cross the line.
Yeah ball looks well behind the crossbar, thought it looked out. Unlucky, deserved more from the season but not from the night. 25/26 we back bigger and better https://t.co/mMpIuDhNc1pic.twitter.com/1m6xSKMbKe
The AR doesn't get to the line until well after the ball is struck...RR

Would sure hate to be hung on that evidence. Corica and McFlynn tho….ahhh….
I did feel for Rogerson and May who are wholehearted, no BS footballers who you want at any club and you turn up to watch. Both have been sensational this season and this…well again…surely any doubt goes to the attacking team…?
Looked a line ball to me, not the whole ball crossing the line, not even in the air. Dodgy call imho.
Gotta love football see for me i thought it wasnt over before he crossed it but swung back after being crossed. Just checked the match review seems the result was 2-0 to Victory which for some of us Yellow and Black eyed Nix fans is a great result even if it was match official assisted. 😁😁

The peeps with the flags saw it out The happy dude with the cell phone camera recorded it from a slight angle going out It seems that var did not have line cameras Not enough to turn over on field decision Carry on and try and score a more conclusive goal next attacking run knight riders But they didn’t Oh well As I often say about the nix. There’s always next season.
(Or the var guy is a closet victory fan or a league didn’t want a final in NZ or whatever. I’ll get my tinfoil hat now). martinb
If it was given, VAR wouldn’t be chalking it off on the evidence we’ve seen right?
Central Hawkes Bay Nix and tragic follower of Charlton Athletic
Also cheaper than the semis, so maybe they actually learned something from the dire turnout?
The semis were more?
APL really don’t help themselves sometimes do they.
Yep A$75 for the first leg, not sure about the second. And no free alcohol either!
(At least that’s what I paid on the first day of public sale, it may have been cheaper for members’ pre-sale or later on when they saw that sales were slow.)

Genuinely don't know who wins the Johnny Warren tonight
Verstraete - ineligible cuz he copped a ban for his straight red card Teague - Very consistent but I dunno how many 3 pointers he would have got Jakolis - Will be 3 pointers or nothing, on his day he was exceptional Milanovic - Fantastic to start & end the season, anonymous in between
Seen Sakai & Borrello mentioned but I dunno about those two.
Sure Vuck knocked out Auckland but they still knock us out a year ago too. But supporting City doesn't feel right either. Do I just pray the Mariners somehow win it again?
Couple of stills here. One of the ball leaving the foot. Another a split second later. Both look in IMO. This isn't what a ball curving behind the line looks like.

Two stills show nothing, especially given the angle of the camera isnt directly in line with the ball or the by-line itself. End of the day the assistant thought it crossed the line which means it must have been close. Corica is a muppet getting all worked up about it, it happens, its football and he's embarrassing himself and AFC by ranting and raving like a fan.
