Huawei Wellington United Phoenix Academy Football School of Excellence - WeeNix

"Saturday 2 pm Live Wellington Phoenix Reserves vs. WaiBOP from Eden Park

Sky Sport 4"

Curtain-raiser to the A-League game.

Guess they are piggy-backing on the TV production gear being there for the A-League game.

ah that changes things from what others have said too. 

I was of the impression that they couldn't win (or even compete in) the ASBP final. Which I thought was stupid. 

But those regs suggest they can win it, but won't qualify for OFC qualifying as a result. Which makes sense. 

Long shot... but stream anyone?

WeeNix getting smashed

Seen the play a few times this year, this is by far the worst they've been.  Can;t do anything going forward.  Surprised that Doyle is playing in midfield while they have Blake at left-back.  Not sure what is going on there.

Doyle has been rubbish. JBS been okay. Ridenton done nothing, been ambushed at every opportunity.

Dimario, Blake and Bell have impressed me.

Dimario especially, everytime I've seen him he's always looked really solid and composed. Speed too, looks to be a really good prospect.

Get the feeling if we could just sneak a goal, we could easily pick up another quickly.

fixed.

LOL at 21.19.3 - NZF in its absolute discretion can do whatever it likes. What's the point of having any rules!

Tam is a good player I agree but he was poor on the ball today. Gave away more than he kept. 

I like Blake.

Gulley was good too.

Bell I don't actually remember touching the ball.

A right back.

What's there to get of playing CB?

Caught bits of this game in between falling asleep on the couch.

Phoenix were dire for most part, exemplified by them being 2-0 down and with two free kicks around the box, they managed to pass back to the keeper rather than have an attack. Unadventurous rubbish, they deserved to lose and no-one will go and watch crap like that.

Blake looked ok.

Known in Wellington as the 'North Wellington clause'

I guess it's a lazy way to cover themselves for some unexpected circumstance. But you're right, it's a joke and reads as 'NZF has the right to ignore the above rules' - which is very open to abuse and defeats the purpose of having them in the first place.

Lost 2-0 to Canty. Both teams were pretty rubbish. Nix played the more positive footy. Canty scored from a corner and from some route one build up.

For me the Nix seemed to really be lacking a go to man up front. Had few good build ups but no one to finish.

Nix stands out were Hicksy and Rufer. Stevens had a good 2nd half. Everyone else was pretty unnoticeable.

With the A-League break, will we give a few players a run with the reserves in January?

Plus two U21's if allowed.

Just bumping this in anticipation for the Sat 17 Jan game vs TW at Dave Farrington (2 pm KO).

This counts as a home game for WeeNix so free entry for season pass holders?

#bandwagon

It's not a home game, last time I paid $10

Versatility?

Who says he's a right back anyway? Ben Sigmund used to be a central midfielder.

Andy Hedge and his team aren't stupid.

He's tiny.

Impressed me at right back too.

Listed as a home game for WeeNix on the ASBP site, even tho DF is TW's home ground and Newtown is WeeNix's.

I think it should be a home game for the weenix as they've already played their away game against TW's.

Athletics at Newtown Park?

Newtown Athletic - is that a new football club?

that's because it was a TW home game.

This is a phoenix home game, so the pass will let you in. 

Who is going to Kiwitea Street on Sunday?

I am flying up to support the #WeeNix.

Anyone else going?

TeeDubs 4 life

Grrrrrrrrrrivals??

(maybe in a Everton-LFC way rather than a Nix-ACFC way)

Wonder how many will turn up because there is no A-League action to watch (this will be the case for us)?  Would be great if Dave Farrington was maxed out - imagine a Wgtn-based Oz club boosting walk up crowds for a domestic game!!

WeeNix 2-0 up over ACFC atm.

Sounds like we are dominating too. ACFC twitter is giving us props. 

ACFC grab one just before HT, 3-1

Following the game on ACFC twitter. Seems highly entertaining.
