Worst day of your life over a football game is a bit extreme.

Thank goodness we do not discuss politics, religion, economy or the world peace here.  Angsting over The Nix is exhausting and acrimonious enough for the true devotee as it is.

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

While it's likely Ball will also miss this game, I hope Old will be available again. Good to have for when or if Kraev and depending on how we line up, Lewis or even Barbarouses comes off.

Forgot to mention OVH.

Looks like Ball is in Wellington so is definitely not playing. This is probably our strongest lineup right now.

Has anyone used 10Play and a VPN to watch the Aus Cup games?

The mix of the broadcast from suburban grounds and the YouTube stream makes for a terrible watch.

I saw a highlight from the last round with a channel 10 logo in the corner and the quality looked much much better.

 I've found the Youtube streaming to be very good.

Payne in doubt for tonight's game

Well, we wouldn’t want the game to be *too* easy, would we? Depth will really be tested, but that’s a nice side-effect of the cup I guess

Looking forward to this one. 

Picking 3-1 for the boys. Wonder how City go into this one having been pretty quiet on the incoming transfer front so far this season. 

Kraev to get an hour or so and Sasse maybe 20-30 minutes?

Fire up! 🔥🦅

Shame about Payne, Elliot's been looking quite good so hopefully he can continue to impress. Predicting our goals will come from a one on one with Waine and Glover or a goal from a set piece from Wootton or Kraev.

I've thought for the last season that Glover looks like one of the worst starting keepers in the competition. Anyone else feel this way? He just looks so dodgy to me whenever he is around the ball.

TAB sees us as big underdogs at $7. I feel like the game is going to be a lot closer than that.

Solid line up will be interesting if Sasse gets any game time

7 NZers in the starting 11. 6 on the bench.
Only 2 Aussies.
Uffie seems to be picking plenty of NZers.

Line up seems stronger than a fortnight ago. Pleased to see Kraev start, and Laws back at his natural role. Surprised Sasse is in thr matchday squad but maybe he's hit the ground running since getting off the plane and has been training well. Would love to get a 10 minute look at him come the end of the second half.

When you consider we will have Bally and Payne, Ugarkovic and Mauragis and an import striker to add to that lineup, plus maybe another backup defender, the squad is starting to come together quite nicely... Been a while since we have nearly had a full squad this far out from the season starting. Positive signs!

Plus Alex Rufer at some point...

City have named a strong XI too. Should be a cracking game.

Already hate the camera angle

What is this camera angle 
over 3 years ago · edited over 3 years ago · History
Cameras pretty much just above players' heads height - almost like sitting in the stands.
Good quality broadcast though - no complaints about the video feed.

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

Yes it's a free broadcast so I shouldn't complain but who in their right state of mind would think this angle would make the game watchable??? It's like being pitch side without the ability to move your head. Sorry but it's rubbish
