yeah just spotted that. Seems weird that they wouldn't put some times on the timetable though.

I know it is only one match but I watched particularly for that and was dissapointed. Time will tell.
I thought he actually wasnt too bad defensively actually? Definitely remember him cutting out 1 or 2 passes.

Also think we need to remember we were down to 10 men, and it seemed like he was the only one actually in the midfield. Also didnt seem like anyone was defending at that point of the match either.

What happen to the (YF ) guy to fix all defensive positions - Boxall - He does not appear in any of the above team selections. Is Hogg the new YF guy. LOL

Not sure what you mean? People were throwing Boxall around during our losing streak as much as people were calling for lochead or paston to be dropped. 

But the call for Hogg this week is simply because Lochhead is unavailable. Although there would have been calls for him regardless Id say.

So trains are't running this weekend so they put on buses instead. But according to the replacement bus timetable, the only buses after the game are every hour from 7:07pm.

edit: might be wrong on that front. There is a bullet point not on the timetable that says buses will leave as required.

Buses and Auckland traffic. You'll want to hope that the highways aren't jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive.....

There's special information about the game here: http://www.maxx.co.nz/info/events/wellington-phoenix-vs-perth-glory.aspx
Looks like they will just be running as many buses as they need to carry all the people.


Still sounds a bit reactive.

"Ahhh, yeah, this is Fred to base. There's about 5,000 people here wanting a bus back to Britomart. You better ring Wally and Barry and see if they can come in".

Would love to but he's a tad big for this type of activity.

Edit - I had tried to bold *throwing Boxall around*

End of an era.  Vinnie - It's over.

What lack of advertising? Auckland is currently saturated in posters, or at least the parts of it which I frequent.

I think they mean lack of advertising in Wellington for games.

Galbraiths Ale House is where all the Phoenix fans should be meeting up, not the cheesy viaduct. You can stagger to the Rugby ground from there.

l will be at ACFC instead.

 It's not exactly a 5 minute walk, whereas Foxes is close to transport that leaves you metres away from Eden Park and actually want us there unlike other closer bars we have spoken to.

Was going to head up from Hamilton with some mates to the game but recent results have caused everyone to bail on me. What a shame.

Interesting team. Probably would've left one of Boyd or Fenton in for Stein/Brockie; that front 3 aren't going to do any tracking back.

It will be interesting to see if Hogg plays better than Lochhead if he will get the go ahead in future matches. We all know Lochhead is one of Ricky's untouchables.

Lia is servicable as long as the players around him do a job; i'd be far more worried if Smith was in there. That guy brings nothing to the team.

Hogg was recently injured right? I wouldn't be expecting too much from him yet.
