It was the same situation last season as well, when I presume Sky were doing a pre match thing?


Come to think of it, we don't get the pre-match build-up here for the games in Oz, so maybe it's a deal that Fox and Sky have.

We would probably be better off taking the Fox shows anyway, despite the obvious australian commentary bias to be honest. A package deal.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

Mike Cockerill used to be the football writer for the Christchurch Star in the 80's, then he landed a similar job for the Sydney Morning Herald and has been there ever since.

Didn't show the assult on Leo... nice work FFA censorship.

Archie Thompson goal celebration still the No. 1 most embarassing thing in the A-League (Robbie Kruse's Alice band a close second though). Hard News2009-08-24 22:09:54

D'Apuzzo really is rubbish at the back for Newcastle, permanently keeping the opposition line onside.

Still can't work out how we lost to them...

It would be quite good to get a bit more in terms of comment and studio discussion. Even if it means the odd wood-louse comment. Do Fox not do something along these lines? It would certainly help raise the profile of the league non-NZ players other teams etc.

Is there such a show on Fox? Not that I would think in a 100 years that Sky would show any predilection to screen it.

Aside: Ha, Kwas just missed a pen!

I know, I know, its serious!

As I said the other night, if Smeltz pulls out the finger shhhhh here he'll be lucky to leave the stadium, let alone Wellington alive.

And hopeless defending from the Sydney Korean left back in the 94th minute to leave the CCM man unmarked. Lucky Bolton was there to spare his blushes.
 
I think we can take these guys.

Yep, that's the one. It would be a useful addition to the schedule. Unfortunately too many AFL, League and golf repeats to be able to squeeze it in. Never mind.

Has Smeltz scored a Class goal this year yet?  I mean you can't argue with 6 goals, and I'm not. But they all seem to be deflections or like the one this week.

All Aboard the Phoenix/ All Whites Bandwagon!!

The goal in the opener at Brisbane was quality, I don't remeber last weeks particularly.

One class goal
Tap ins and deflections mostly so far.
Still impressive thoughStefan2009-08-24 22:33:39

Smeltz's best moment was near the end, taking that long crossfield pass so tastily on the outside of his boot, then threading the short pass through for Caravella to shoot. Absolute class.

That Free kick Glory scored from was an awful bit of reffing.  Celeski get's lumped the foul is given the wrong way and Perth score.

Both the first two goals were pretty average finishing before they are rolled over the line.
