Porirua stadium?

Aye?  Corrales came steaming down the middle of the pitch after it broke with Jamie Mason down the Phoenix right flank.

Marco was playing left midfield.

Note the boldened Lia comment.

Forget the bold, just chop the length of the quote you slack tart.

'What was final score Lower Butt vs Nix Wanna Be's?

    2-1 to the Nix

Any more trial games?

Playing Liverpool at the ring of fire next Saturday, 5pm.

Wests same time, same place next week I believe.

wonder if they are playing Petone at all, heard someone said they had been asked but not sure if it is true or not.

Yes.  It is going ahead.

cool

May drag my lazy arse over to the Devil's Anus aka Porirua tonight. What is the squad likely to be with folk away with the AW's?

Do they sell beer there?

Or will I have to stash a few in my coat like?

Anyone know if we are likley to see an appearence from Mr Greenacre tonight?

...as he is not expected in Wellington for three weeks (assume his contract with Tranmere is until June 30th) I'd call it unlikely.

I haven't made training this week but suspect it will look like last weeks side:

Crowther
Lia - Dura - McKain - Ian Hogg
Party all the time - Daniel - ickle Mikey Eager - Marco Rojas
Coasta - Astroclaus

Maybe a start for Villazon or Tim Myers.  A chance Diego may take some part seeing as he played some part in training last Friday.

Club rooms are usually open, not sure if they will sell you a beer to take out of the clubrooms though (suspect not).  We couldn't condone the 2nd option... but it seems to work for Coxey.

I know I only keep half an eye on this forum out of season but what the hell is an Astroclaus? Sounds like he should be having a punch with Godzilla. Am I missing something here ?

Astrauskas.

some quality new chants for a start!

Oh! You better watch out, 
you better not cry, 
you better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
AstroClaus is coming to town!

ahh the lithuanian, (sp?)

Right then off in a mo, when I can find my nix beanie. See some of you there then?

Did the game kick-off at 7 or 7.30?  

Unsure, but good luck anyone trying to get out to Porirua from town. From our perch overlooking the motorway going out of town it is backed up a long long way and is crawling along

Hoping to see Astroklaus (or whatever) get a few goals.

Astrauskas scored and Daniel limped off with what looked like an ankle injury pretty blah first half really but Wests were having a good go at the phoenix and the phoenix to be fair aren't really going at full pace although they were bossing it just a wee bit i had to leave at half time it was 1-0

Brilliant giddyup.  Thanks for the update.  Good to hear that Astroclaus scored.  Hope Daniel's injury is nothing serious.

According to my source it is 2-0 at the mo with Costa scoring a volley.

It might be (Daniels injury) he took two knocks the second he knew straight away he was in trouble,he wasn't putting anyway weight on it,so limped was probably the wrong word more like hopped off the ground  i guess wait and see tomorrow 

oh and about 2 minutes after Daniel the dude at leftback pulled a hamstring so he left also sorry don't know his name

Any more updates? Any news of the quality of the goals?

is the game finished now ?

Assuming it started at 7 then it is.  Now we have to wait for everyone to get home.

Home now..2-0.  Second half was much beter than first in places..minus Daniel which helped.  His first 5 passes were shocking.  Lithuanian (must learn to spell his name) did well enough..held it up a few times..had a few shots in target and then scored wel enough.  Costa is class..albeit he took too many players on to many times..but he has great control.

Final score 2 - 0

Astro took his goal well and laid on Costa's.

Generally pretty poor match with not too much to excited about. Highlight would be small cameo from Diego who looks like he can control the midfield, where to be honest Ferrante, Daniel and Lia had looked pretty average.

The young guy Rojas again looks an exciting prospect.

It would have helped if they had a teamsheet eh!  I didnt recognise half of the players..

the BEST player of the WHOLE GAME has got to be Marco hands down.

Astro is well........ not all that flash in my opinion. he butcherd 3 chances which my granny could have scored.

Crowther did brilliant, controlled the area well (better than Paston) and made a blinder of a save from a free kick which was heading for the top corner. he's got the goods.

overall a very average performance.

Completely agree! was good seeing Taylor Hall-jones at right back too,even as young as he is he did alright.Marco rolled the lot of them,Costa did allright as dig hoggy! quite liked it all in all
