Phoenix vs Heart Wed 24th 7:00pm

ok so he gives him 1 min, that only benefit that he will get out of that is the win bonus

AND NOW THEY'RE GONNA BELIEVE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS...

sh*t THE GAME I DECIDE TO GO OUT TO DINNER FOR ENDS UP BEING THE GAME WE ACTUALLY GET OUR SH1T TOGETHER 

Siggy's 5th card - out for Saturday.

So proud of the boys in that 2nd half. The 1st was absolutely dire - Terra should've had a hat-trick and Ifill's performance was one of the worst I have seen from him. In saying that, to come back in the 2nd half the way he did was just amazing and showed the character of the man.

He made tackles, tracked back, put loads of pressure on Thompson etc and capped it off with a beautiful finish for his 2nd. All while hobbling, clutching his knee and seemingly contending with a ref who hated him. Iffy is back.

Think that Siggy was probably 2nd best - he proved the catalyst for our first goal. We're really going to miss him on Saturday.valeo2010-11-24 21:05:41

That is because they had no other choice but to throw on everyone and hope you idiot.

Lia and Sigmund both very good again
invaluable 3 points those

in the words of McFadden and Whitehead
"Aint no stopping Us now"

Well I got the score correct and thats 3 points. Don't think we were the better side, but it does not matter.
Two things, I have been saying for months that Ifill is a striker up the middle and that Paston is a very good keeper. Both points were proven tonight.

And a dive too from what I saw? Was it?

Agree very much with the Rojas thing. Can't compare it to Melbourne though. I said to my mate before the game he'd probably only get 30 seconds at the end. And he did. Won a corner though.

I think you are missing the point here mate, 2-0 playing aginst 10 men is probably a good time to put on a young guy like Rojas to give him a run and experiance you Idiot.

Possibly because they have youth teams that have played week in week out since the start of the season?

Or because they're just not good enough? Just because they're young doesn't mean they are the next Tommy Oar.

If they are not good enough why are they there.

I think they need to be given more of a chance. So now they should be give a go with playing these ASB Chellenge games ever week.

Ifill. Is. Back.

Absolute highlight for me was the celebration from the players after the goals. You could see just how much it meant for them, particularly Ifill. I gotta feeling that the next couple of weeks could be pretty big for our Phoenicians!

very happy with the game. One thing only I would say: couldn't Rojas come on after 75'? we were 2-0 up with an extra man. I can understand resting Greenie, but if we don't give our youngsters time to mature, they're all gonna end up leaving like Kosta.
I am not having a go: coach is there to make sure we win games, and that he did so full marks. All I want to say is that Rojas is hardly going to have an easier, more secure situation to slot in that he did tonight.

Ifill can make such a difference to our team. What couple of goals! Lia, Brown were excellent.
Siggy and Muscat were awesome.
Hearfield did very well defensively but not too well going forward. I think he needs to back himself a bit more and have more confidence. He has a heck of a boot on him, why doesn't he get in better positions and have a crack at goal??
I reckon if he did he could easily get 3-4 goals a season as well as giving our strikers a few goals when the keeper spills it.

f**k YEAH!!!!!!

YUSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Its good to be back.

Ps what was those t**sers down front doing?

INSTEAD OF BEING DEPRESSED FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK I'M GOING TO BE LIKE A BRIGHT, BRIGHT THING.

IFILLS GOT HIS SPARK AND CONFIDENCE BACK.
GREAT.
I CAN'T STOP SMILING.
AHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yeah what a t**ser. Way to tell a few thousand people to bring it on. Idiot.

cant be bothered reading back in the thread, but did anyone else see hearfield stamp skoko's foot? cheekiy little bugger

I am sitting in front of the computer wearng stripey.

I am feeling VERY, VERY sexy right now.

and see Manny elbow him too

na didnt see that but troy was real nasty, thought it motivated him from that point on though, he was excellent and kept skoko well shut the f*ck up

Ya f****n dancer!

I am looking forward to Saturday night already. Bring on the Victory.

Manny for midfield every week please. But i guess with siggy out for saturday, he'll won't be :(

Welcome back Wellington Phoenix !!

Well said

Jeez, what a relief.

He looked pretty fired up yeah. Had quite a few spats at the linesman and ref and pissed off Zahra when he made an excellent challenge on him.

I'm sorry, can someone fill me in on the t**sers down the front?

Great to be back,loved the No surrender No surrender to the IRD chant.

Nice to grind out a win but they need to follow it up know.It wasnt pretty at times and to much ball was given away far to easily.Give it back to victory that easy and they will penalise us.

What the f**ks Bolton's deal? We couldve as easily won 5-zip, his first half was shocking.

alot of people are complaining abour rojas getting game time.

remember he did play the night before.... he mite have been a little sore or tired..

i know i would have been

Much better tonight, although because I had $5 on 3-0 Phoenix, I must insist that Ricki is still fired with immediate effect!!
