R9 v Western Sydney | Sat 7th Dec | 7:00pm | Eden Park/SS7

it will be a close game.

So guess whose plane was diverted to Auckland and is currently sitting on the runway? So close yet so far... Looks like they'll fly us back to  Wellington at 6...was hoping they would keep us in Auckland overnight and I could rush to the game... Darn!

Fire Up!

No thanks I'm just keen to get back to Wellington in one piece ???

COYN

You might be better staying up there tonight - its been blowing like a b@stard all day - as wild as I've seen it.

Very curious to see crowd size

You clearly haven't been around that long. Just a gentle zephyr today. 

Didn't feel like a zephyr as we were trying to land.. And I've been flying in and out of Wellington for 15+ years! ?
Anyway we should be on our way soon so hopefully I'll watch the replay tonight on myfootball

solid line up there

on paper one of the best starting XI’s since day 1.

excellent keeper, solid and experienced back 4, two increasingly dominant midfielders, creativity with Piscopo and Davila, pace with Sotirio and Ball busting his gut up front.

For context: 10,197 or more would be the second largest crowd the club's pulled in the past four years.

Well and truely ready to see some backwards and sideways passes tonight!! #coyn

Frigging plane was delayed two hours. That's two hours lost. Grrr. Nice evening  in the zone. Lots of oldies in their seats already. I hope they realise where they decided to sit?

Been around long enough to have been blasted more than a few times. Got the trampoline well staked down and it ain't going nowhere but it was shaking around more than I've seen before - trees bending etc. And I live it a part of town that is a bit sheltered from the full force of the northerly...it would have been way worse on the tops and down the wind tunnel valleys...... Sure wouldn't have fancied flying in today.... 

Hopefully another home* win today

I see the 4th official is Tim Danaskos - any relation to former Nix player Troy??

Clumsy from Steinman

...and Libby. Not a good start from us.

FFS that's 3 times in 7 minutes that Steinmann has given up the ball!

Geez we're giving the ball away at a fair rate of knots...

We are playing rubbish, passing is poor, we are second to every ball

Again, second to that ball - Lucky Duke missed the target - Come on boys you are letting yourselves down

why are we slipping over so much? Is the pitch pretty wet?

Just need to hold some bloody possession. 

I saw a offer for sky sport for 4.99 for this weekend for members but now can't find it.  Anyone know anything about it?  Thanks

FFS Someone wake them friggen up.0

How are we not behind... 

Can we please stop wearing yellow shorts at every opportunity!?

thank god for marinovic

Stream anyone?

At least the crowd seems to be up for it.  Hopefully it rubs off to the boys

3rd yellow for Ball..Better time his 5th right for Hooper being fit.

Phoenix must have been delayed and thought game was at 7:30... hopefully they’ll be here soon!!!

This is reminding me of the early season game last season against WSW in Welly when they pumped us by 3 or 4 goals. We just aren't at the races.

sneaked a couple of minutes at work. Ref having a laugh.

Black shorts are definitely our colour

Jesus that is now four attacking free kicks we've made a complete hash of.

Cacace giving alot of ball away today - he been reading his own press maybe.  Coach needs to let him know he is still a work in progress
