This thread has gone all Schreodinger's Siggie* and Herbert's Uncertainty Principle**
*If you put Siggie in a box, is a bear catholic?
** If Siggie was an electron, then where the f*ck has he gone?

So, in summary, do you guys think the Roar figured out The Sound of One Siggy Flapping?
I very much like the idea of a Schroedinger's Siggie, Sigmund is simultaneously both holding his defensive position and also closing the player down, the impacting random event being the Queensland player running with the ball, his invites the aforementioned Bohr effect of the causality of observation, our role as the observer defines the final observed state as "out of position"
Is this observation an identical shared experience?, as we progress through Descartian metaphysical solipsism, we can only be sure our own experience is true, if we apply the indiscernibility of identicals, you, I, the rest of the Yellow Fever shared the experience of Sigmund being out of position, this experience being described as identical, but as the experience, although described as shared, is purely a number of self experiences that are identically described, we cannot prove that Sigmund was out of position, as that is beyond the self
"Yellow Fever are fantastic – I have to say that"
I think it also explains why the grass was so sticky.

Have we had the discussion about Theoklatos now just calling himself Theo?
All Goalkeepers should now in response shorten their name to 4 letters. Paston should be Past and Moss can be...Moss
In my state I do remember yelling "you flap more than our mascot!" At him.

5. Can the Nix stop the flow?
The Phoenix not only stopped
the flow, they almost caused a drought for the Roar. Aggressive, hard
and in their faces, Wellington never let up when they didn’t have the
ball and when they did they created plenty of chances themselves.
Paul Ifill, Leo Bertos and Louis Fenton all stamped themselves all over a first half where the Phoenix dominated the Roar, surging down the wide areas before crossing into the middle with pace and Fenton’s flick backheel towards a wating Stein Huysegems was all class, unfortunately he had already received the free kick.
Only a serious defensive lapse from the Nix allowed Besart Berisha to level things for the Roar and while both teams said they were happy with a point, the Phoenix probably should have got more from the game.
After three rounds Wellington remain the only undefeated side and they haven’t had an easy run, it’s been a good performance thus far that says a lot about the players and manager Ricki Herbert.

5. Can the Nix stop the flow?
Melbourne Victory tried
albeit unsuccessfully to stop the flow of Brisbane Roar’s game last
weekend, giving up 23 fouls throughout the match, the highest of any
team of the season to date, the tactic failed to work with the Roar
pumping five past them.
This week Vince Lia has promised that Wellington will get up in the face of the Roar in a bid to shut them down and starve them of the possession they so crave, whether the Nix can effectively do that remains to be seen and may just be key to their success, to beat the Roar Welington will need to also control the bulk of possession, something they have been unable to do in either of their games this season, having just 47 per cent of the ball in each game.
The Phoenix though have a proud record at home and are a strong side, if anyone can shut down the Roar effectively it could be them.
Quite a different assessment from Craig Foster and co on the World Game tonight. Showed Berisha's goal and two of Paston's saves, didn't bother showing Stein's goal, nor any of the half dozen chances we had, summed it all up with "Roar were extremely unlucky not to come away with the 3 points".
Actually they may have shown our goal but I was so busy chucking abuse at Foster I probably missed it.

Wow.
That butterfly affecting the match thread continuum ..and causing Siggy to be where he was/was not, is/is not or will/won't be... has sh*t to answer for.
Seriously, if it turns out that Siggy was the only thing in the entire universe that was actually "in position" at that moment then he deserves a lot of credit.

Happy with the draw. Disappointed with effort after we scored the goal. Kind of seemed like we'd lost interest. Wonder if playing to towards the fever zone in 1st half instead of 2nd upset our rhythm?
Siggy said post game that he blamed himself for the goal.
I agree with him, had he been less aggressive he'd have been back marking Berisha and he wouldn't have scored - it's what Dura would have done. Or if he was playing for the off side, then he needed to be aware of where Boxall was and get him in line.

Gourdie thinks we should expect better
I was thinking the same thing... I thought the Phoenix try to win the competition this year? You only can win it if you beat the top teams. There is not much to excuse.
Not on my watch.
That's exactly what I said when I heard the gov were going to scrap Roman numerals

Wellington Phoenix v Brisbane Roar
Brisbane were unable to
match their heroics of last week against Victory, as the Phoenix put up
an altogether more successful resistance to the champions.
Possession: Phoenix 43% / Roar 57%
Shots on goal: Phoenix 5 / Roar 4; total: 9 / 6
Tackles: Phoenix 33 / Roar 24; effective: 77% / 71%
Completed passes: Phoenix 160 / 503; accuracy: 69% / 85%
Crosses: Phoenix 24 / Roar 9
It’s somewhat reductive to call this fixture a mismatch but that’s what it looks like on these numbers alone.
Brisbane, as we’ve come to expect, had the lion’s share of possession and completed an astonishing 503 passes, and 85 per cent accuracy.
Wellington, on the other hand, made 33 tackles – the most of any team in Round 3 – and just 160 passes – the lowest of any team in Round 3.
The difference in the way the two sides are constructed can also be seen in the crosses; the Phoenix utilised their ability on the wings to send 24 balls in the opposition are, while the Roar kept the ball mostly on the ground.
Apropos of nothing much in this thread, other than the passing ref to passes completed in the previous comment, I was listening to the BBC Radio Scotland Scottish Football podcast in the bath tonight, and they were discussing the Barcelona v Celtic, one of the stats from that game was that Barcelona had almost 1000 completed passes in the game - sheesh!
