We had the better of the first half, second it was all Sydney. However thats football and we lost last week by exactly the same circumstances

no, i disagree, draw would not have been a fair result to be honest, phoenix defense was strong and solid, won the game for them, sydney's goal was opportunist

Sydney didn't deserve a goal and the nix deserved atleast one. So a nix win is fair result.

Dont agree.

I loved Culina's half time comment where he indicated their goal was brilliant.. I'm sure we pretty much scored it for them.

A fair result.

Fark Being fair, I want WINS!
 
And on a side note...It was a fair result...As soon as they brought on Zdrillic their fate had been sealed.

i think a 3-2 loss would have been more 'fair' Sydney were all over the Phoenix and they didnt really attack with the same vigour as they did in the first half, they were VERY lucky not to draw and were fortunate that Moss, Dodd and O'Dorr kept them out.

Sydney had a better game in that respect and you cant class a penalty as a great goal really, it's down right sh*t if you miss so it should really just be done.

But fairness aside.... WE WIN!!

Could have been 3-1 with Smeltz / Ferante's gold combination at 40 mins.
 
These guys are really hitting there straps,
 
No, a draw would have been a misjustice!!!!

Because then I'll make a rash statement that I'll have to live down next week or be one the band wagoners that go "f**k YEAH" when we win and "LOSERS" when we lose. Much similar to Warriors supporters when they bagged them for losing 6 straight and then late in the season everyone couldn't get enough of them.

Regardless of the result, I just wanna watch good football and 3 of their 4 games I've watched, they have played good football. This week was justice for last week to right the ledger, but I still think draws would have been fair both weeks. Its fun to speculate about it and thats one of the reasons why I love this game...

Are you saying im a fair weather supporter?  I think you'd have to look at Celtic for that title..

I've been supportive the whole way through. Why is it so bad that we are happy that we've got our first win??

You mis-interpreted my message.

I wasn't accusing anyone one of being a fair weather supporter. I just don't want to be accused of being a fairweather supporter myself. I've been in for the long haul since 99, but I also look at the game as a whole and don't speak on the game on raw emotion. Maybe thats just the referee coming out in me..

I admire your position DrQuack.

What I like about sport is that you can be rational about how a game is played, but then lose your frickin mind when your team wins. That's my preference anyway, hehe.

Also, I'm all fruity right now, but I'd like to say that I always enjoy tigers' posts and attitude. Come here you big lug!

The NSW police force attempted to mooderate us for saying "youv cheating aussie bastards".  We responded by doing ricky herbert's yellow army for the last 20 mins.  BTW, the waikato guys were garbage, and I mean garbage.  They couldn't raise a chant if it fell to them orphaned at their door step

A draw? Fair? I don�t really know which of those notions to attack first! I understand your ref�s viewpoint, but you are supporting a side here, not doing the officiating. The Nix deserve everything they got tonight, after the 2-2 come from behind, the 3-0 drumming, and then the unluckiest of 1-0 losses. To come back from a goal down, away from home, behind after an opportunist strike, shows real character and makings of a team I�m proud to be a supporter of. I have to disagree with you; so what if Sydney had all the ball in the latter stages of the second half? The resilience and commitment of the Nix made me wish they were Boro! This is  your team don�t forget, our team! I�m sure this is not a one-eyed view, it�s more than that. This team has played their skins out in the past few matches, giving everything back that we as supporters have given them. To say they deserve a draw leaves an ash laced taste in my mouth. Their win kept me on cloud nine the rest of my shift at work, and if they had gone a goal, or two goals down, I�d still have said they deserved to win. Leave your ref�s hat at home and come sing in the terraces! �We�ve got the best team, in the league, we�ve got the best team in the league, we�ve the best team in the league - We�ve got the best team in the league!�

Savour the away win, great bounce back but what's with the soft goal. Do we always have to come from behind?

Brilliant Win full of character!!!!!!! Class goal from Felipe, and well taken penalties from Daniel!!! Sydney were crap! Lucky we gave them a sloppy goal!!!! Makes up for last weeks disappointment.  Bring on next week's game against Adelaide!

Sydney were unlucky and Wellington scored two flukely goals. And lets show this Sydney goal a million times and if a Brazillian had scored it we would be talking about it for months, but I'm going to talk about it for months because I'm a w**ker.

Something like that?
