An aside. Just imagine if the match had kicked off 24 hours later!
OH WELLINGTON .....

Patrick, that kiss was in the 87th minute, and we then went on to lose.
If I found out that you had a cheeky snog at half time, there'll be retribution.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

The producers know him now. Look out for new hair style and contacts next game.

Anyone want to have a guess at the busiest time of day on YF (all those red crosses)?
What are the numbers on the y axis?
Auckland will rise once more

Yeah on the Y axis is unique browsers or page views, I forget.
The correct answer is 9pm.

If someone can tell me what the yellow card on Spoonley is for, that would be great because there is no reason for it. The referee's a wanker
Ref stuffed up there. wasn't hand ball and yellow made it worse. can see why spoonley was a bit pissed

Far too much negativity about this game.
Man in a bear suit and a cute as fuck tiny dancing lion.
What else do you people want?
I have no idea how you got from me loving the tiny dancing lion to kicking down doors and rioting in the streets but I guess that's just how you roll Jeff.

Just to clear things up, I don't post on here as much because I've been spending all my time working on something awesome for all you guys. Not because I am fornicating.

Interesting Spoons gets a yellow for a handball but Berisha? doesnt when he falls over and grabs the ball to try and pretend he got fouled...

No such thing as an "intentional handball" in the rulebook, all handballs must be intentional, so it's not a yellow card offense.

Correct, however I guess it can fall under other categories..?

That was denial of goal scoring opportunity, so yeah.

Just spent all night Sunday and all day today avoiding the result so I could watch it.
I've gotta say - any Welly fan complaining about ref calls is a complete joke; that whole game the ref let fouls go and that is the only thing that kept us in it. There was only one side trying to play football. At times it more closely resembled a Hurricanes game than anything else.
However - lots of positives to take away. Manny back to his old self. Carlos looking good. Stein working hard and scoring. Once we get rid of Lia (who was horrid the whole game and spent by the 70th minute) - I think Riera will be a decent replacement in his proper position - and sign full backs that actually know how to play football (I realise Adams is a CB - reminded me of Reid starting for West Ham at RB on his debut) we will be laughing.
Don't think Cunningham will be anything more than another headless chicken in the Downey mould, though. But the juries still out. We'll see how he is when we are actually passing the ball around rather than bombing it long.
I think Ifill will be solely a bench player this season unfortunately.

My brother maintains that he was not looking at us and did not see us do that. As you all were.

Disciplinary sanctions
There are circumstances when a caution for unsporting behaviour is required when a player deliberately handles the ball, e.g. when a player:
-
deliberately handles the ball to prevent an opponent gaining possession
-
attempts to score a goal by deliberately handling the ball
Spooners did none of those.

WTF are you guys talking about ? Spoon picked up the ball outside the box right in front of Berisha (?)
ie
-
deliberately handles the ball to prevent an opponent gaining possession
-
Yellow card was justified. He actually did the same thing a few minutes before....... I haven't seen the replay but it looked like a carbon copy.

'There was only one side trying to play football ' That is B/S cause for the first time for years that is exactly what we were doing.

Guys enough discussion of the actual match, you're ruining what is possibly one of the best match threads ever. So many lolz.
Patrick, you're a legend. McLovin, hard luck champ.

How is it justified when A: he never handled the fucking ball outside the box!!!!! It's wrong in so many ways it's not funny.

We need a referee to rule on this. I'd be surprised if any agree that it's a handball and a yellow card.

From the bits I managed to see ('cause I left the task of finding a Christchurch pub with Sky Sport 4 till the last minute) it was an encouraging "work in progress" by the makeshift Nix. I would not read much into Ifill's performance today. He will lift his game with a better team around him and may do better anyway by not having to play full 90 minutes if there are other options.
Join the Christchurch supporters club at Spectators Bar & Bistro, Addington Raceway, next week!
Had about 30 there today, great turn out.
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be there. I was a bit of an endangered species at the Speights Ale House, with others watching the ITM Cup.
Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

That's because we all go on Trade Me in our lunch breaks.
As far as I know (I may be wrong) all healthcare providers (DHB/hospitals/etc.) around the country specifically block Trade Me.
