Ifill is the best pen taker in the comp, that's why Brockie didn't get a chance for 3 and fair enough.
Where was the red for the foul on Totori though?
Ref did well to get the yellow out ASAP so there weren't any on field complaints but it seemed pretty clear.....
That was the definition of Denial of Clear Goal Scoring Oppourtunity.
Brilliant refereeing. Didn't give red because of amazing foresight as to how Totori would react when faced with an open goal. :)
I know, I know, its serious!
Totori must be pushing hard for Fentons starting place now surely?
Surprised brockie wasn't given the penalty for his hatrick
.great result
Not for me. Ifill is the nominated penalty taker and buried the first one he took against MH and this one to prove that is the right option. No room for sentiment. Goal difference is paramount in what might very well end up a tight table come the end of the competition
We're the WELLINGTON Phoenix
And this is our Home

i always read the match thread after watching the game
fark what a pack of b*tches you lot were today! so much whinging, one-upping and told-ya-so's... good grief
great result, season is turning around!
Bertos was good today.
Fenton was pretty pants, seems like his performances have been declining since the first game, i would take him out for huysegems next week and have brockie/ifill wide.
I like totori
A quite remarkable result considering we were not exactly brilliant but we did limit them to having very little chances. Newcastle were as bad this week as we were last week!
Crazy miss from Totori but as I said to my mate, he did more in 10 mins than Fenton did in 80 IMO and should start next week.
Is that our biggest away win ever? Have not read rest of thread so not sure if that has been mentioned.

Man, that after-glow, she's powerful stuff.
Hey you bastards I'm still here.
I forgot to say that no red card for the penalty is an utterly ridiculous decision!

Wow just when you start to despair,they go and lift you up again.We arnt there yet but im going to enjoy going to work tomorrow and not having any snide remarks passed.
Yes according to Piney. Well his actual words were that this is would be the first away win by 3 goals. And I don't recall any 4 or 5 goals away winning margins (apart from the one Totori denied!)
Should Totori have been shown a red for Denying himself a Clear Goal Scoring Opportunity?
Next biggest was 2-0 away to CCM in a news years eve game in 09/10.
I Miss beating CCM. Still dumbfounded we didn't finish at 4-0. Hope Birighitti is going to be ok.

Like Victory, they are down to their 3rd keeper. Looked brutal. Would say he'd be out for a few weeks.
feel bad for him. He's always promised so much and been unlucky with that card and now that injury. Hope he recovers fast
Junior HH (aged 7 and a bit) : Totori missed a Sofa!
HH: What, son?
JHH: A sofa!
HH: What?
JHH: You know, an easy miss.
HH: I think you mean a sitter!
Could Brockie have jumped over the keeper?????????????????
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid
Nash was actually released by the club when they signed Birrighitti, and then signed as an injury replacement to replace Kennedy when he got injured. Awkward.
Could Brockie have jumped over the keeper?????????????????
Totori is still rapidly adapting to the A-League. Obviously desperate to prove himself which led to the fumbled shot.
Perhaps we've scared the refs into giving out red cards after the Gillett episode
Could Brockie have jumped over the keeper?????????????????
Fuck this stupid game
In MRP news:
Jeremy Brockie has been handed an 8 week ban by the MRP for his "challenge" on Jest goalkeeper Mark Birghitti.

Nix - developing traits of other Wellington sports teams - settle in for a roller coaster season folks...
I guess Jets fans will say that they were missing several 1st team players so not a true reflection/result.....Hey, welcome to our world bitches!
Masters Grade aint no run in the park on a Saturday...

We are the Mighty Phoenix!
We can beat anyone!
Nostalgia isnt what it used to be...........

Well, as far as I know you can't blow your nose properly after a cheekbone fracture operation for a month after the operation, so I have my doubts he'll be playing football in 6 weeks.
