2014/15 Pre-Season - v Canterbury United | 2:30pm | Sun 28 Sept | RoF

Top 5? Are you joking?

I'd put Tim Brown ahead of him as an attacking weapon.

Lots of KFC-tinted glasses who remember what he was like at Victree.

Hell, I'd put Siggy ahead of him as an attacking weapon tbh. Even Leo was better at free kicks than Carlos.

We know youre not being honest

More than that, it is open to everyone, regardless of whether they go to the Home & Garden show. Just buy a ticket, and go. if you want to go to the Home and Garden show as well you can, but you don't have to.

Members just get the two for one voucher in their email... that's the only difference Topleft.

Rumour has it you can still see his fat arse waddling away!

I think what frustrated me and I assume other fans too was how little he ever seemed like he wanted to be out there, but then he'd get stroppy if he was taken off. Could have been a great player for us but his attitude was awful. I wonder how much of it was a clash with Ernie?

So, Cunningham on for Burns tomorrow?

I think it is good that we don't play a high line as much as last year.  It will allow Dura and Siggy to keep on top of things a bit more, plus the young legs of Rodrigez and Bonevacia may be able to help out if needed.

Or Roy

Yep and it looks like Siggy, Manny and Boxall all on notice for discipline

More importantly Junior, have you decided on what plants you may like to take home for your garden?

I hate gardening.  Pointless time and money sink.

Nothing wrong with concrete and a bit of astro turf.

May I ask why youre attending a Home and Garden Show then?

I think the weather is going to be a bit sh!t and it's cheaper than the movies.

So youre not going for the grassroots football? I hear Siggy may get agricultural against his old side.

Any clue what the chances of getting a car park at the stadium would be tomorrow? $8 parking beats paying for 2 day rovers on the trains.

My Plan:

1:30 - Getting the Best Bathroom Renovation

2:30 - Nix Game 

If it doesn't finish 5 goals the diff then the Nix are well fuckd already IMO.

Canterbury aren't that bloody good

Neither are Petone.

wet n wild

Correct, you do need a ticket to the Home and Garden show, there are no tickets specifically for the Nix game. 

It only costs $8 for an adult though, and here's a voucher for 2 for 1 tickets, so the $8 will get two people in.

Thanks Patrick,

I already have a voucher as my wife and I went to the Home & Garden show a couple of years ago and every year they send us a 2for1 voucher!

Is there a radio stream or a tele stream or something?

doubt it, twitter and here will be it.

Piney said on twitter the nix are completely dominant.5-1 now,

United owngoal then rufer free kick then a penalty against Fenton.

6-1 Boyd, must have been a few changes for the nix

what a score line!

1-0 Roly scored.

2-0 nix this time Brockie.

Boyd can finish?

apparently a tap in. Anyway fulltime: 6-2

ht 3-0 Roly, Brockie, Rodriguez.

Are the Cantabs getting much possession and creating any useful goal scoring opportunities? Which of their players is looking good? Analysis please!

JBS and Rufer for Doyle and Lia at HT. 10 minutes later the other 8 (everyone aside from Italiano) were subbed at once.

Nix played well first half, wasn't quite a starting team. Canterbury wasn't the best.

Once we did all those subs and had the young ones on, the game kind of fell apart. Nice to put six away, the penalty was stupid and wasn't really sure what Fenton was trying to do. 

Back home cold....solid enough passing game in first half which brought some goals.  Weemac was class.  Reira got good chant as he walked up the aisles(didn't play).  Roly looked okay but not as creative as I thought he might have been..maybe constrained by the passing game?

Never thought "we want seven" would apply to subs at one time but...

Still think we will miss not having an out and out goal scorer.  Brockie chant is gold...
