Despite the performance, the result and the utter disgrace of the select few of "supporters" throwing bottles, I would like to say congratulations to Costa Barbarouses for making his professional debut yesterday. Although he only got 5 minutes, I hope to see him get a few more chances and wish him all the best. DKP222007-10-22 17:52:46

Well said DKP22.It was good to see Costa on the field at last for the Phoenix.
I wonder if Ricki Herbert might be tempted to let the young guns loose as the Roar did with Zullo and Kruse in recent weeks?

  Improving,,on the up, a work in progress from Italiano and the Nix. Bring on the bathroom bling in '24! COYN!

well done Costa, and well done Elrich and Lia whose season is pretty much kicking off now.
Love the way the whole team played. Pity about that mistake in the end - but Mossy and the defence held the CCM strikers quite well. The midfield was devastating, especially with Elrich dominating on his wing, Aloisi doing all the running and Smeltzy + Daniel trying really hard to leave a mark.
 
Let's hope things will get brighter cause the lads deserve it (and so do we).

Just watched the A League highlights here in England last night.  Elrich's goal was up there with Rooney and Owen and I was overjoyed to see Costa out there.  Whislt I didn't see much he played a great ball through to Smeltzy who fluffed a great scoreing chance but.... Plodder, "What the f**k were you thinking/trying to do?" that was totally amature mate :(

must admit after the two rather lacklustre performances in Aussie it was good to see the Phoenix fired up again, what with the early CCM goal, the Elrich goal, the missed penalty ....really was 90 mins and 90 emotions.
hope they take the same commitment over to the next 3 games ....
