WPM R13 v Melbourne Victory | Fri 19 Jan | 7:00pm | RoF + Featherson pregame

Bananas

I couldn't see at the ground what happened there.  What was the red for?

Studs into ankle

Studs up, foot vertical, and missed that ball completely landing flat on the bottom of the shin. I'm surprised the ref didnt red it on the spot.

Clapping tim Payne was embarrassing. It was a grubby tackle and has ruined the game for almost no reason. 

Only has himself to blame for the heavy touch. 

I can't say any of our players have had a good game so far. Ben Old has had a shocker and I'd take him off for a defender

I think that's it - all he has to do it point his toe into the challenge and it looks so much more innocent even if he still collects the ankle

Ta.  Bugger.

Pennington has been massive so far.

For as long as it's 0-0, there's a chance... However small.

Suddenly there is only 20 to go and I'm reluctantly starting to get that horrible feeling of hope....

We are defending well but then undoing it by taking poor options when we finally do get the ball

Took a freak ricochet for them to break us. You can take heart in that. 

:(

Hope shattered :(

Tin ass goal. F..k

Why is he stopping play? That's outrageous.

Good chance from that corner. Need more of it

Kosta’s touch has let himself down tonight 

Is Paulsen our best passer? Like his ability to pick a pass is amazing

And off both feet too.

Just one of OVH's chances have to go in, surely...

He looks a bit more dangerous these days. 

Come on. Give us the pen!

OH MY GOD.

WHO'S TAKING IT.

Oh shark who's going to take it?

I literally can't watch....

Kosta’s little legs have got this. COYN!!!!

Oh wait, it’s rufer. Shark. Get it!!!!

Now we shall shine in glory or burn in fire....

Calm down Alex, it's not over yet!

Fudgeing less gooooo!!!

Wow well done boys! Not sure about the pen but I will take that any day of the week.

Couple victory supporting girls crying on screen hahaha suck shark

Huge game from Surman, and TBF from the whole team on defence. Huge result!

OVH was awesome for the last 10mins. I hope he gets more  and probably at the expense of Ball. Which is a weird thing to type. 

I'll bloody take that. A draw like that feels like a win!!!

Immense second half from the team. No one gave us a chance with 10 men. I thought they'd put us to the sword. We only allowed one goal and that was scrappy at best. That is huge against such a talented team. 

WE.
ARE.
TOPO'THALEAGUE.
SING WE ARE TOPO'THALEAGUE.

 I agree. Not a fan of Ball - I like strikers who score goals.

Unknwn Quantity

Nothing about the game on TVNZ, absolute owner operators!!

Video blocked or something on YouTube…Was concerned when I heard about issues with keep up 

Cheers, best option in the end.

We get top of the table, big game against Victory and someone’s pulled the plug on Keep up live with zero notification. Really annoying.

Great finish. Couldn’t watch the pen- just watched the forum response. 

So happy for the crowd for that finish too! 

Croud tonight if anyone was wondering

What a stressful watch but fudge, what a performance from the team. That second half was an immense effort. I still don’t understand how (traore?) didn’t get sent off for a handball in the first or the push? The ref seemed weak as piss. 

Anyway, gutted for Kosta, think he put too much pressure on himself and they marshalled him really well. But rufer, what a performance. Absolute balls of Steele putting that away with such calmness. 

Crowd sounded great, solid effort to all that went. Hopefully that may turn a few of those potential fans into probable fans as the boys fudgeing delivered! 

Happy fudgeing days.
