Galaxy post game banter.
"Why are they booing beckham daddy?"
"Because their all drunken idiots darling"
Well then f**k off to the family zone!

he was drinking when I saw him
Great night except the idiot swearing and abusing us for standing and the poor guy 2 rows behind us...should of invited him down by us like we did to Robbwatson
I refused to sit...
I didn't boo Becks and I clapped when Galaxy scored but I did want Phoenix to win!
great experience and I'm glad I had the chance to watch him play
As for the Phoenix I love them!!!
Impressed by Clint Mathis and Landon Donovan. Beckham had his moments but was in and out of the game. Carlos Pavon is crap.
Believe it or not, some of us went to the game to watch the Phoenix, and couldn't care less about the opposing players, whoever they were.
Having said that, we didn't boo Beckham at all as gave us no reason to do so, but I certainly have much more sympathy for those who booed than for those who creamed their pants every time he touched the ball and gave him the biggest cheers of the night when he was taking corners FFS, and when he scored from that stupid penalty. Was not impressed by that at all.
Where was Abel Xavier? I was really looking forward to seeing him!
football mum, could've invited me down to stand with you guys, i had to sit down for the majority of the second half while everyone else stood up lol .. next time the stewards ever tell me to sit down, ill just stay standing, even if they do threaten to throw me out
Injured. Or in rehab or something.

If I knew you I would who you
there were a few spare spots infront of us
where were you?
on the other hand again we showed a lack of composure and decision-making in and around the box. we again had plenty of posssession and territory and lots of in the attacking third but usually managed to bungle things. hopefully we have blown all that out of our system pre Perth.

we have a slow defence, while the galaxy have some quick attackers so we defend deep. if we defended higher we would run the risk of them getting in behind us.

Even by Italian standards, that penalty was a little dubious.

Unfortunately, he was wrong on two counts. It was by no stretch of the imagination a penalty, and a decent amount of us didn't want to see Beckham score.

From the angle I was sitting, Aisle 32, my initial reaction was that it was a penalty. After seeing replays from the opposite angle to where I was sitting it seems less likely, but Old did stick a foot out

I didnt boo him - but its the fact the woman that said that was also not singing, clapping, actually she didnt do anything apart from consistently shouting 'pass it to beckham'
I dont dislike Beckham - or the attention he gives the nix - it just makes me sick how people like TV1 and Paul Henry all jump on the bandwagon - and will soon be back off it now he's gone
we had an awesome time sitting in Aisle 26 with our 2 banners. We had one that said 'BECKS Show us ya curve' and one for the phoenix in their colours "GOAL". We tried to get into the chant as well, but it seemed as though we only heard our voice as the people around us weren't joining in. Some kids in front of us by a couple of rows were and they held their LA Galaxy flags up, which was cool. We did have a gripe though. When we were celebrating we held up our sign over our heads for a short time and all we got from this lady behind us was 'Put your sign down, your bloking my view' For crying out loud, we didn't have it up for long, and plus the big screen is there if she needed to see anything. I hope shes not going to the Sevens cause she won't be seeing a hell of a lot. Thats my 2c over and done with. Wish people could enjoy the atmosphere as well as the game. Overall awesome turnout.

Hadn’t even thought how that might open up with Foley! Now the possibility of English or French teams coming here would be great…pump up the pre-season with those who don’t know their touch judges from their linos, but are still keen for a good game and some live sport…
And for the forum!
LG and OiOi really don’t seem to have changed at all! (And never do lads)
Fenix was there- sorry mate had you confused with a saddo who had the forum name Christchurch Rangers or some such, but you’ve been there for ages and even been happy at times with our football!
And TheProf was there too!
Lots and lots mia though. And not just Junior.
I don’t think I met any of these guys in person that I know, but any intel on…:
Ginger-eejit, Bevan, Jag, GiddyUp, Teza, RobbWatson, ForteanTimes, Cosimo, Yomcat, Tigers, Tegal, DairyFlat, Marius Lacatus and Daniel’sleftball. I’m sure El Grap is still around somewhere. Also Turfmoore, but he’s not in this thread.
Anyway- hope everyone’s well and some of you are multis or simply enjoying your free time!
17 years later and we still can't get the tune right to Stand up for the Phoenix
