seemed much more than 6700 to me, maybe the free tickets didn't count in the total paid attendance?

much happier han last week, and infinitely happier than the week before that!
 
we certainly did it in a stressful fashion but  WE DID IT!
 
great to score in the first half and great atmosphere in the last 15 mins
 
be good if one of the refs on the board were able/prepared to comment on the ref's performance
 
i thought leo should have been given a pen in the second half and Heffernan should have been booked for a that foul on Timmo (or for being hefferan really)
 
and why was smelz booked for a high boot then later on some saltie tries to pick Smeltz's nose with his studs and no card shown
 
was timmo's booking really warranted?  (by then i was unable to even pretend to see reason - so it amy have been)
 
3 points YES!!

Was a good Zone tonight I thought.

Funny how that happens sometimes when there isn't a massive crowd.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

some classic commentary from harry and fred tonight:
 
After Matt Simons dive on the edge of the box..
Fred: That's a dive from Matt Simon..
Harry: yeah that's really been the strength of the Mariners this season
 
And, John Hutchinsons mega dive after Durante's challenge:
 
Fred: Ahhh John Hutchinson pulls about a bit of a Superman impression there, jumping right over Durante and then claiming he's hurt.

Did Harry get mixed up about what Fred meant about Simon or did he mean that they were good at diving this season???

sorry. i think the referee lacked certain proffessional standards I would have assumed would be inherant to a match official of his stature.
 
better?

As Robb well knows I took some time off from belittling anyway who was a different race then me (after all...I'm from CHCH) to attend tonights match. Would have had to have been the best atmosphere so far out of the 5 or 6 games I've been too, Great Fun.

i am very drunk, and was so at the game, but two things I remember - Hearfield wasn't very good, amd McKain was
I like tautologies because I like them.

Xmas is in 5-6 day time, the A-league crowds may take a beating as people get busy doing other things. Still think that we are better off with Saturdays matches than Friday or Sunday ones. The FFA has a lot of explaining to do.

What do you mean? At drinking games or playing with the ball?

I'm an unrepentant McKain lover - but Bertos and Brown and Mossman also good methinks

Just a few things
 
1. We were dominated last night
2. But we won!
3. That goal by smeltz was pure gold. Bertos' cross was sensational.
4. Glen Moss is the best keeper in the league. We will miss him bigtime.
5. The tackle by Durante where he got pinged on the sideline was one of the best tackles Ive seen.
6. The referees in the A-League are very very whistle happy.
7. Yellow Fever sounded bloody good on the gigglebox.
8. Merry Xmas everyone.

I'm happy. I couldn't make the game (again. Damn you MidCentral Health roster of hours), but got texted about the goal, the next hour and a half were agonizing. well worth it now though.
 
Will be so down for the Newcastle game.

to very winnable games coming up-queensland away (they have a very poor home record) and newcastle at home. looking foward to them.

QLD away is going to be very tough. They've finally broke their hoodoo. (unfortunately for us..)
 
btw I thought we defended awesomely from set pieces.
