Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

‘Port Ultras’ on their scarves. That’s kind of cringe. They know we can see them?

Crowd looks quite sparse in Auckland today compared to usual

AFC is not really switched on here. 

Auckland will rise once more

Great set piece by Brook!!

Humidity in Auckland in November? Check who’s investing in Northland coffee and banana plantations!

De Vries not getting in the game much here.


23 Nov 02:45
Brisbane are dominating and Cosgrove should be off!

There is a lot on the other side that you can't see on tv.

Not everything is the conspiracy you think it is martin.

Three for me, and two for them.

Lol just read this. 
So when Auckland is sharke at something we can’t point it out? Just the Nix? Nix were taking a bashing for their crowd yesterday. Early summer weather and no one is a the football nationally a fair take rather than just the Nix not yet fully at the races.

I was just going off some smartarse crowd figures last season. It’s not a conspiracy. It’s an observation of how they’ve operated.

It will likely be below 10k, but provided you average 10-12k over the course of the season, that’s a success for this league and what they would have wanted and needed when they entered the comp.

What AFC need to be concerned about is that is one of the worst half’s of football they have played. They dont deserve to be level really. 

Hard to see how they will spark up as they look tired and have a weak bench.

Nando in particular is really struggling out there. 

Auckland will rise once more

This will be the new normal and they'll continue to drop until it bottoms out at around 7-8k. Watch it dip below that once results start going pear shaped.

All I wonder is how much lower attendances will drop across the league in the next few years? Covid disrupted things and many fans never came back (don't ask me why) Current cost of living will prevent many families from coming along. And ALM attendances of clubs in general seem to decrease over time rather than increase. 

Surely, many clubs will soon need to turn to smaller venues to survive.

A-League will just go digital, become the AI League. And we'll all be happy again.

Young Jonty Bidois good chance to prove you can step up to the ALM.

Edit - Brisbane I think will make the top 6.

Wellington will have an early advantage because of WETA and then the gap will reassert itself…


23 Nov 03:38
Thought Howieson would make a bigger impact. Are we allowed to say de Vries might be a bit tired from flying the equivalent of round the world and playing two games against high tempo teams?

Crowd was 12,000.

Three for me, and two for them.

I couldn't have stomached another last gasp AFC winner today. Cheers Brisbane

No you definitely can't.

Taggart benched. Big call by Griffiths.
23 Nov 06:15
Jets open the scoring, 1-0
23 Nov 06:21
Should have been two, Glory coughing up the ball in their midfield way too easily. 1-0

Thanks mate! I needed a laugh and a reminder that however much that was sub par, it was a 1-0 loss where we had a bunch of good chances and they scored against the run of play.

Not losing the first test of a five test series in 2 days. 


23 Nov 06:39
Jets gift the Glory an equalizer. 1-1
23 Nov 07:37
Penalty Glory. Totally out of nowhere. 1-1 with the penalty to come.

Pennington scores Pennalty.
I like this guy.
23 Nov 07:39
Pennington converts. 1-2.

Gonna be an absolute robbery if the Glory get the 3 points here.
23 Nov 07:47
Taggart hits the crossbar. Could have easily been 3 for the Glory. 1-2
23 Nov 08:00
Jets didn't do enough to win that & were punished for it.

Glory sure as heck didn't but sometimes football is like that.
