R 23 vs Heart Sunday 16th 6pm SS1

Thats the best performance against 12 players ive ever seen. Well done nix!!!

crikey. good entertainment. 

Durante is gonna T off

Diplomatic Dura in interview..

2 points stolen from us today. Kewell and Dura both telling lies post match!

Kewell is such a smug fucker. "Defenders have to be smarter" GTFO

Harry Kewell...of course it was a pen. Wally

Very proud of that effort.  Well done Hamish, a tidy wee cameo.

Is it just me or did Kewell just admit to diving?

Kewell is a 1st class wanker and hated by the club who made him famous.... Leeds.

That was a good effort from us given the fall of the dice. Good to see Krishna get stronger and also Watson at the end. Unlucky with Boxalls last header. Its going to take a big effort but they have shown that they have the guts for it - lets hope they have the skill for it - but I'm not holding out any hope for luck helping out though. 

Always a team I'm proud to support!

I agree but often the bad decisions against the Kingz and Knights were from kiwi refs like Brian Precious, Peter O'Leary etc.

I remember well the game that Brocks first showed his ability where the Knights were beaten by the kiwi ref, not the Aussie team at North Harbour stadium in the rain.

As the commentators said, its time to put a 5th official behind the goal to stop Kewell's dive and to send off Kisnobo.

Happy with the point but fuming as well! 2-0 up with a man advantage and we would've hammered them.

Disgraceful decisions cost us that match.

Also, how on earth did we lose 5-0 to them just 4 weeks ago?!

Two things for me tonight. That was one of the most inept referee performances we've been on the wrong end of ( and we have had a few) and one of the gutsiest performances I have seen from us. Dura tonight was immense.

I think what we all want to see is consistancey.

 If you are going to be good on the day or bad on the day, be the same to both teams. We all got quite passionate today because I feel inside ourselves we felt like we were getting shafted. Which in reality, we actually were. 

Of course I include myself in this. Today really annoyed me for the above reason. Apologies for any over the top remarks and I can think of 3 I made, but the match officials ruined a game which imho could have been a real cracker. I am just as passionate as the next fella and I just felt we were ripped off. I hope Ben Williams gets dropped to reserve league and Kewell gets his karma reward.

Very disappointing result  as it does not help either team.

N/Castle don't play  tip tap football but they can be very dangerous. We have to win and without Ben we are going to be in some trouble.

Just to clarify, on a thread that contained references to kicking puppies, deliberately breaking legs, and assaulting the referee, you thought that my comment was the one worth calling out?

We deserved more from that game.

Can't take anything away from the way we played - thought we were brilliant overall

I don't think it was deliberate bias from Williams. Generally he has been good for us. But why save his worst for us? also he was in awe of Kewell and Kewell picked up on it straight away. That set the tone for the match. If he had booked him for gobbing off at the linesman things would have been different

Obviously not deliberate bias; but general incompetence - which is even worse.

I am very proud of the boys effort, it is very hard to play a game when down one player and still playing against twelve players!

Mr Williams, I hope you will be subjected to watching this game over and over again, you bloody muppet!

Also, does everyone realise that this man is referring at the godamn World Cup this year? I feel sorry for whoever gets him. 

incompetence. that's the word I was meaning just didn't know how to spell it...

And as much as it was a really soft red, Siggy sometimes is just plain dumb.

I've got Jr tonight.and he gave me a yellow card for foul language- needed to go and have another beer and calm down before he'd let me back on the pitch.

What was actually quite an entertaining game was ruined but that prick of a ref. Biased? Who knows. But I'm  guessing that people don't care whether or not a ref is good or bad , so long as he's consistent. This bugger tonight was both poor and incredibly one eyed in his decision making. Instead of commenting how strongly we resisted  , praising Dura for both his performance and after match comments , we're talking about a shit case referee. Shame really- detracts from a very brave performance.

Oh , Kewell , you're a a cunt as well.

I'd also like to point out that when I said I'd like to catch up with Williams in Wellington, it was for some verbal abuse, nfot physical. Not sure why some thouht I meant that. But I'm chilled out now, we got a point despite Williams best efforts.

well played from the nix tonight . unlcky not to get the three points. siggy made me a little angry tonight. who will replace him next week ?
