What's that? No need to see the game - I've seen Hogg Many a time.

Fred de jong was awful on comms. Just awful.
Hogg did enough. Glad Boxall will get another run. Like to see stein benched perm.
Brockie is rubbish. Soon as Stein went off we lost complete shape.
You guys are an embarrassment

Yes Hogg was good. Cernak same. Couldn't give a stuff about how ugly it was. Will take the win. Main agony was fred and harry. Just inane.
Incorrect.
Three for me, and two for them.

Cernak looked really good, so did Hogg.
FZ was pretty decent i thought. Only early in the second half the atmosphere was a bit dead apart from that i enjoyed it.
Slighty disappointed i didn't get to meet the (in)famous Doloras.

Positives for Jr and me:
1 WE WON
2.Cernak
3,Hogg ( looks OK , we think he deserves another run)
4.WE WON
5. Dura looked much much better tonight , we thought.
Negatives - at the risk of breaching a forum rule or 3 , de Jong must be the biggest f...ing numpty commentating at the mo'. Simply awful.We turned him off and did our own commentary. Given that one of us was a bit pissed , was bloody funny really.
i don't understand this - what did Fred do that was so bad? i didn't hear anything..
So 11.5 k away from home, which to my mind confirms the fickleness of the Auckland crowd. I acknowledge the benefits of taking it on the road but you have to say Wellington has the heart, the passion and the appetite for the A League. Bring on the next round, we're back in the mix....ugly foot ball does it for me!
If ever there was evidence that we need to take more games on the road, here it is.
A great result and an Auckland crowd that once again puts Wellington to shame.

Back home now.
SO MANY wgtn season holders up for this game. I bumped into more people I know in Wgtn up here than I do at the RoF.
Lots of fans up last night a few at the zoo this morning. Fecking heaps on the flight back tonight and at the airport going to other places.

Slighty disappointed i didn't get to meet the (in)famous Doloras.
Favourite chants:

"If you are pathetic clap your hands... if you're unsophisticated clap your hands... if you've lost respect for Gareth clap your hands..."
"WE'RE HERE TO WATCH THE FOOTBALL" (directed at JAFA numpties trying to start a Mexican wave)
(after a Perth striker muffed one) "Smeltzy would have scored it"
"If you are pathetic clap your hands... if you're unsophisticated clap your hands... if you've lost respect for Gareth clap your hands..."
Brilliant.

A win is a win! Thought it was ugly as shit, but I'll take an ugly 3 points over getting hammered every week. My thoughts, for what they're worth:
Dura looked back to his old self again today. Thought he was superb
Hogg looked solid and did enough to keep his place
Stein led the line well in the 1st half, didn't see the ball in the 2nd. As for the Brockie v Stein thing. I'm starting to think that Brockie is one of those 'luxury' players. He'll score goals, but his contribution in terms of workrate etc is piss poor. That said, he's there to score goals, so he has to stay there.
Cernak did more in the first half than Sanchez has done all season
Paul Ifill is trying too hard to score. Once he gets one, I think he'll relax and the goals will come again. Some glimpses of the old Ifill today
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

I really don't get why people are bitching about the Auckland crowd when it's the one game Gareth Morgan made money off the nix this year. He has to pay for his cat assassinations somehow, people. Think of the cats!

So why take games on the road? Out of 11k at the Auckland game, maybe 4k of those were Welly people= 7k were Aucklandites and from other places within reach, therefore the financial adavantage (which is actually all the owners are interested in now, it seems from some recent statements) has disappeared.
If all of the marketing effort went into the Wellington region and it was recognised at long last that Wellington is the Capital of New Zealand Football and this will NEVER change, is in the middle of the country with great communications (i.e. let them come to us), the core group will increase organically. Then Welnix make money, Fever increases etc.
Win-Win.
Damn I'm clever..................and Gareth, keep your hands off my pussy, bitch.....
Nostalgia isnt what it used to be...........

My lucky shirt is now the "Keep Calm and Pass to Ifill" one.
I saw a couple wearing matching Ifill Ts as well. Very nice and also made me smirk as it reminded me of this pic:
