Phoenix vs Jets 4pm Sunday 7th

All a joke Hard On, Haak's Melb based, was said in that context.

PS - Sydney will be tough at home. You boys are on the road from now on, and they'll be fired up.

OK.  I have  a confession.  Junior Junior got his Wgtn Til I Die T on Saturday and has virtually worn it all the time.  He didn't want to wear lucky stripey for the match and ended up wearing WTID to the match.

You bastard, I'll bloody...errm...urr...



...what were we talking about?

Dam , I said they would win 3-1 too, I should've bet lol ... does anyone know what they were paying for a 3-1 exact score bet?

The exact score is draw 1-1. NOT 3-1 ( extra time )

I was waiting for someone to mention the Mexican wave! I thought a Mexican wave was something you do at the cricket or rugby when nothing is happening, which is quite often. Last night it was too exciting on the pitch for that carry on. Nice to see the Fever seats not participate!

What is our record like in Sydney?

What a fantastic game. Watched it with my women's football team on MySky. Had to keep explaining the finals draw, to general confusion.

I see what people mean about Lia keeping giving possession away, but what was it that Dewhurst said after our first goal: "Jetlag? What jetlag?!?" Leo played 70-odd minutes, Siggy, Brownie and Lochhead 120 minutes each, and they did the job. Billy Harris's whinge in the SST seems churlish in retrospect.

Fantastic game in every way. Thanks to the team, YF, Terry, Rikki and everybody who made the result what it was. We talked to a couple of Jets fans in the 'Bencher- good on 'em for making the trip. The Jets were worthy opponents, never stopped fighting and played their hearts out. Fantastic how they clapped the Zone on the way out; thanks for making it such a great game lads. I predicted this result in another thread BTW- I've now been right six from the last seven!

How the hell do we get to Sydney?

By Aeroplane perhaps?

FANTASTIC game, brilliant atmosphere - cannot believe that there were 32,000+ people there for a Nix game - briliant.

But there needs to be some expectation set about sitting/standing. I've never sat at a football match in my life and don't intend to so if you are in the vicinity of 19/20/21 you should expect to be standing up. All we had was a bunch of whinging golfers sat behind us moaning as Rickis Chickies get their flesh out at 90+20 mins :-) For the record the ladies numbers had swelled this week with more elaborate bra action and a fully functioning banner.

I never though i'd see the day at a Nix match when there is a Q for the LADIES bogs !

FANTASTIC!!

Part of an article from the smh...says it all...

http://www.smh.com.au/sport/a-league/muscat-catches-the-sky-blues-napping-and-theyll-need-eyes-wide-open-to-stop-the-phoenix-20100307-pqn5.html

Whatever the case, this was another epic semi-final in a series that has provided more than its fair share of drama. Four out of the five matches have gone to extra time, underlining just how tight the title race has been. After yesterday there's just three teams left standing. Melbourne have a fortnight's break. They've earned it. Sydney FC do battle with Wellington Phoenix back at Moore Park next Saturday night for the right to join them in the grand final. That's not going to be a simple task for the Sky Blues, for the Phoenix are the team that had the most momentum going into the play-offs, and they haven't let it slip.

Of the four teams that did battle yesterday, Wellington produced the best football. They needed to in order to see off a courageous Newcastle Jets side. They won't be fazed by the prospect of taking on Sydney FC on their own turf to continue rewriting history.

From 442:

If people moan,just do it anyway,dont back down. Inform them that it is the FZ and it is expected in here,if they want to go to security then let them,because id expect security to tell them the same thing. (one would hope) Believe it or not,its happened to me with standing,they went and told on me,only to be told "ummm its kind of expected in this aisle"Tegal2010-03-08 12:38:20

funniest moment yesterday was seeing reddy jnr slide tackle dadi jnr on the victory lap

Still, you know, Paul... (he says he likes it here)

Apparently the whanau like it too

You lot all need to get off this forum and get back to work. Slackers the lot of you.

What is this ?

Pics of the Newcastle fans here:

Any good highlights up yet? not just news articles

TVNZ well and truly jumped on the bandwagon yesterday, Bradwell at the Bencher doing some pre-match filming but was there an hour to early and then Saville broadcasting live from the Stadium.

I hear Branko Culina is still banging on about the Nix' even being in the A-league...

Here's a chant for ya Branko... (sung to the tune of Day Dream Believer)

Cheer up Branko Culina
Oh what can it mean
To be a sad aussie barsted
With a shyte football team

You posted that in the TVNZ  site!

Yea,

I can't take credit for it - Dave "jambo" McKinlay sent it to me this morning from Scotland after reading Culina's whining ...

... but I thought it was excellent. 

Maybe the next time we play them !

Nah the security guard came down and got all grumpy wit hus then stood there for 10 minutes. Strangely he didn't notice part of the general problem was 15 people squeeeeeezed into 10 seats

Wow wow wow.What a great time !! My boy and I were in our usual seats , wearing our lucky stripies and we'd parked in our lucky car park. And ,his passport arrived on Saturday.  Guess where we're going next weekend

Anyone know when a replay will be on Sky? The Tards vs Sydney match is on this afternoon, but no idea when the Nix match will be replayed

Thats terrible. Think i saw him standing there. Do they not get informed about whats happening before they get lumped into the feverzone?

As far as I can tell there is no scheduled replay on Sky.

Hey hey,we're lucky they even showed the game people.

Mate of mine spied a "Moosecat" banner in the crowd and is obsessed with finding a picture of it, any luck guys?

Just got back from Wellington.  Had an awesome time, absolutely amazing atmosphere and experience!  Bencher, Nix, Fans, Wellington City, ROF - top stuff!!!

And thanks News for the ticket swap, Feverzone was unreal!!!

Davy.

There was a replay on Prime last night from 10:30pm - 1am.  With ads and such.

5pm on SS2... and THIS TIME I've set MySky

How good is this
