Yeah I don't think Spoonley or even Piney are that great at commentary that they should be flown to Wellington and Auckland respectively for every A-League game, I'd rather there were local commentary teams for both. 
I'd like to think Piney is just commentating this match because it is a special occasion, then Sky might try to get someone more local or with an Auckland connection for the other AFC matches.

Hope so, hell Sky even have an hour for the build up. Not sure that's ever happened for the nix!

Andrew Dewhurst and Seamus Marten would be a good combo

Are we firing up? 
Weird feeling! Keen to support the NZ team, but it’s not my team. 

What can we say instead of firing up?

I'm excited for the start of the season, it's more curiousity towards AFC.

Nah, firing up is ours mate.

I'm just following for how the Kiwi players go to be honest. Im far too tribal to back another football team, especially a rival. It just doesn't sit well with me.

God forbid I ever see someone wearing one of those half and half strips as well.

5 kiwis in the first starting line up, is not bad.

We know Alex is up to standard. Let’s hope the rest are.

Really hoping those South Americans turn out to be gems, 

Auckland will rise once more

Anyone else cringing themselves inside out with the Port nonsense?

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Just watching the port march in to the ground, and got me thinking ahead of the derby in December.

The away bay is going to be right above and along that walkway as they walk down to the South Stand.

Just an observation. But would be an excellent spot for some flags and banners. 👀

I always rated Gordon Glen Watson on commentary for OFC things. He would be who I would want.

What weird timing though to walk out during the performance, it was dead quiet and prople didnt know whether to cheer or remain silent. Wouldn't you wait til its finished and then walk out to some epic music and pyro? Awkward as...

Admittedly they timed that poorly, should’ve waited until haka was over to walk out. But it’s still grossly disrespectful to chant and wave a tifo around mid haka.

If anything it's more disrespectful to the fans to have a haka while their team is doing their first ever walk out. Let them cheer.

Agreed, whoever thought that was a good idea doesn't understand football. Maybe even sport lol

What should have happened is haka, THEN walk out, tifo, cheering etc. I'm not saying it's the port's fault but it's still disrespectful.

Anyway since the other matches thread is forbidden, this brisbane team can't defend to save their lives.
