Phoenix fluke win - Gold Coast match

24 hours ago and we were all involved in a spiritual experience!

I wouldn't move cos of that....

So did he think the diversion was worth the extra travel??

 

Who cares what they're called 

Well, at least TVNZ led with three footballing stories.

the correct name is Gold toast United lol

UNBELIEVABLE.

What happened at the ring of fire last night is only just starting to sink in. What a result. What a performance.

Ricki must be due a knighthood!

lets wait and see after november 14

Still an unbelievable outcome. Just amazing!!! Sure glad i went to this game. 1 I wont forget.
Will be saving a copy to DVD so i can relive it over and over.

and i'll upload some pics of the teams celebrating each goal...

You should do it as bittorrent or something so we can all share. I'd love the opportunity to relive that 90 minutes when ever I choose. Something to show the grand kids

The club has to release that game on dvd

Not sure what your point is.
What has Kevin Rudd, Steve & Bindy Irwin, Noosa got to do with Gold Coast United.

I was at Castle Point for the weekend so we were forced to watch the game at the Wakataki - the local pub. When we went in there, we asked the guy if we could watch the football. One of his mates snickered to himself when he heard us ask. The man said 'sorry, were watching the races.' We looked at the tv to see greyhound races on trackside. We asked if we could watch it at the tv at the back and he reluctantly turned the tv on after 5 minutes. Around the first few minutes a few of the pub regulars walked past and said 'typical, nil all.'

I have been saying this for months, the Nix have been waiting to break out.
I have watched the game 3 times and it could have be more than 6.
Without taking anything away from the Nix(because they were very good) I said after 3 games that the Gold Coast were the most over rated team in the A league.All the hype has come from the media. Both their keepers are not up to standard, and their two defenders would not get a game in any other team in the league.
They do have afew very good players but most of them have been reading the press on how good they are.
The main problem is that their coach is trying to get them to play South American football-- tip tap in their third of the field and has not realised that they are not good enough to do this.
He had the same problem with Qld Roar, who played the best football, but could not win any games. The guy is a plonker.

No doubt, but as I said, the team is over rated and to be fair Smeltz is one of them. Great in the 18 yard box, what I call a sniffer. Ifell is a far better player than Shane, and when he is tightly marked, does not want to know.
That is the problem I have with him in the AW.

I hate my life.

Liar. Noms tomorrow ?

I do.  I almost topped myself yesterday.

Keen as.

Leggy and whomever - Jose's Dog's post was a reference to the Norwegian commentator's rant when Norway beat England a few years back  

Between you and Smith...

Thanks mate - will watch and relive the moments. i was in malaysia during the game, but got regular updates from  my kids and wife in aussie who were watching. it's the first game i haven't watched either live or on tv (so maybe i am the jinx...) At first i thought my wife's reports of a ballooning score line (i could believe 1-0, even 2-0, but when she said 3 and then 4-0 i started to get might suspicious that it was all a cruel hoax). But then my oldest boy held the phone to the tv and i could hear the commentary. what a moment. Am so bloody rapt - and thanks for posting the highlights - that's appreciated.

 

Nice assist from Lia for Ifillls goal. 

There are loads of vids fromthe match, here's yet another - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lgGY8m75IM

Love that one of the 6th in the back of the net and the crowd just errupting!

There's a good 10 min compliation with a great moment:  "Lip reading practice, with Ricki Herbert" about six minutes in.

Don't tell me to f**k off.

So your trying to say that he shouldn't have gone over with the rest of the team to celebrate a goal just because he was disappointed in himself?

That is the download link for the game. If you don't know how to use torrents then don't bother haha

What's the actual file name?

Didn't know where to post this, may have already come up. But just heard on radio Sport, that GCU have officially capped their crowd to 5000 for the up coming game, what a disgrace.

Only opening one stand, so they don;t have to pay $3.50 per ticket.

Ah i see it has come up. My Bad.
