Phoenix v Perth - Sunday 5pm

Meh i think thats fair. A draw was a fair result,and we couldve pinched it in the end.

Yeah he was a youngish sort of fella. Three Police in the car to keep him company though.

Was it Smithy?

Lia was suprb in first half, one of the best I've seen him play. Passing was excellent and beat a few players. Second half not so good

also on the a-league website they didnt even notice that caceras had ben subbed on for barba

Deserved a point I think although we're lucky to walk away with 1 considering the crossbar saving us at the end.

I am very embarrassed to say this but I started venting at the ref for the foul on the nix that he allowed the advantage which then resulted in the play to create the equaliser.

LG - tell me what incossistancies for both sides looks like (it's late, I'm slow, I need to be in the know, Harry, Harry!)HarryHotspur2009-11-08 21:47:56

 

Give me an ugly point any day.Some of our distribution today was just bloody terrible. 

To be honest Tigers, what you just posted is loltastic.

The Perth fan who did that is a legend.

Ahh no. Big to people like that

haha good call tigers. watching on tv, i don't know how many times lia needed to be fouled to get those perth guys yellow carded. awful reffing, but to be fair, even with a decent ref, we didn't look sharp enough for the first 80 minutes to do any damage

don't think the ref was that inconsistent - he just missed every push from behind, every hip in, and every hold or body check off the ball, all game

and he was liberal with his interpretation of "careless, reckless or using excessive force" - the tackle on ifill (pick either reckless or careless IMHO) the obvious example

just it was Perth doing most of the agressive stuff

anytime some-one got a foot in and a player went down, he was calling it, and that was more our style lol

bit unlucky not to take this one, and the ref not calling the over physical stuff didn't help, Glory making the most of what he didn't call

winge bleat moan still at 6th and a great last 10 mins or so go the nix, meantime go go go the AWs.  paston and mcglinchy OK?

Bloody yellow cards (one each) for having a shot after the offside flag and whistle. They were marginal infractions and I'm not sure Ifill even knew he was called back until just before he swung. That law was for when there was one ball surely. Let the player exert their own energy by hoofing it, there another two/three balls only a ballboy throw away. It's not like it's Centannial Park and you have to go get it down the street Royal2009-11-08 22:06:22

Thought that Perth came here and played quite attacking from the start. We were sloppy until we went behind.

Agree.......ref was "very" average to get an appointed at this  level....love to see the match accessers report,...... who was he anyway???????????

If only we had managed to take the last 20 mins performance levels into the rest of the game then Perth would have been long out of site.  It just wasn't happening for most of the game, seemed to have forgotten how to play football, as soon as we remembered that we like the ball to feet at pace we were all over them!  First half, way too many aimless punts forward...

+1. Lets sign Simon Elliot, after he has trained with the nix and won at the ring of fire in front of a full house he'll be tempted.

The amount of atmosphere you blokes creaate in that stadium is second to none. i do NOT miss a Phoenix home game ever( on tv ). 6 thousand people is a little bit dissapointing though. Im just wondering, where did all the rest of your supporters piss off too? i remember one game vs Victory u cracked 14k. Back in 07 i think.

Im from Adelaide btw

There seemed to be a bit more than 6k in tonights game. A few people think more along the lines of 8k were in attendance tonight. Dont know about how the stadium get their figure,but it seemed wrong

"...Crossbar, we love you!!"

It's a pity because if the crowds are being underestimated, for whatever reason, then it gives ammunition to the naysayers."You see, they're winning, it's a nice day out and they're still getting crap crowds".

Still very poor. Last two home games 6-0 and 3-0, cracking weather and we've got Ifill!!
What more would the public want? If they couldn't come out today, they ain't coming

Who the hell was that cock on aisle 20, row C, seat 70-ish wearing the white shirt??

All I heard from him was "Oh man Leo you f***ing sh*t", "Oh Perth your a f***ing sh*t"

F this, F that for the whole game.

Watch your mouth young man, and pick a god damn team to support, just make your mind up.

Don't the turnstiles count each person that goes through?

definitly looked like more than 6k on telly. could have won that game if we had just got on the end of one of the countless crosses/corners we had that were cleared with ease, but the point seemed fair enough Downey262009-11-09 06:04:31

How many of the fever still subscribe to the wearing of same clothes theory? Luckily the weather has been good so the clothing I worse on wednesday is good to go for today. Incidentally, the outfit is the same from gcu down to the socks.I've worn the same shoes jeans shirt headphones and scarf for every home game this season, and things aren't going too badly

Why did we draw today Referee no  Played ordinary no
Against Gold Coast they played Killers song Human twice once before the game started and again half time
Result 6 goals
Against Newcastle they played it once half time Result 3 goals
Against Perth nothing result same old same old draw
Can some one make sure especially next week have it played at every game twice

crowd was 6900. Still too low imo

He probably won't like it, but I say keep Caceres on the bench as an impact player. Last time he played 90 minutes he was sh*t if I remember correctly. Would love to be proved wrong though.

Yea your probably right but yea he may be feeling a bit annoyed but maybe thats a good thing so he can come on really eager to get a start so he will be better

He's an NZFC ref.
