Kennedy keeping them in it at the moment.  Still feel like we could ship one at any second though.

enlighten us, for mine this has been a pretty dull first half with wasted opportunities from our lads

WTF is Ridenton doing all the shooting for? Barn Door springs to mind. That's 3 chances any forward would have put away.

We've done quite well to get a few clear cut opportunities; but some really horrid attempts. All in all, we're now playing better than CCM. What was it, 12 shots to 0?

surely Singh has to get a chance now. Ridenton has shown nothing!

Averagely woeful first half, we have to put one of those chances away. I'm not sure who kicks the ball worst, ridenton or Italiano. Italiano has saved us a couple of times. Can't say I'm enamored with the formation, but khrishna and kalud have provided a few bright moments.

Unlucky not to be ahead I reckon. CCM were desperate for half-time at the end. A few good saves by them from decent efforts, one great play that ended up with the wrong guy trying to finish it. They only had one shot on goal I believe? 

I know it's frustrating not being ahead, but there's not always much you can do about chances not quite going in.

Why do all sports insist all pre half time talks with players.... IMHO it adds fudge all... all they want to do is get off the fudgeing field.... all they say is clichés and fudgeing bullshark

Ridenton shooting has been poor - but he is making the right runs at least.

I would like to Singh come on after 15... i think he is the player we need to release Krishna who makes a world of difference to our team!

Why are people negative - we have had one shot at goal against us... when the hell did that last happen in a half. Yes our finishing has been poor, but our problem all year has been our defence and that has largely looked ok, although we have to be careful of the ball in behind!

An extra ad would add more value than what you get out of them.  A blue screen of death.  You tube videos of cats.  Take your pick.

We’re the Phoenix! We start seething 2 minutes before kickoff, then explode when one of our players does something shark!

I think many people quite enjoy hearing what their heroes/players they like have to say, even if it is vapid.

Thing is, the half-time analysis is full of chiches and fudgeing bullshark as well. 

I don't think the problem is that they have pre-halftime talks with players, they just don't ask interesting enough questions. For example, if I was interviewer of the CCM guy, I would've asked: "Do you feel like the Phoenix were basically shoving one of those big sauce bottles up your behind in the first half?"

I have a couple of season's worth of built up rage inside me.  I'm like a coiled spring waiting to explode while watching the Nix at the moment.

think we all do, the problem i see is that even though we've had one shot against us, we've conceded 7 corners and continue to look frail defensively even with 5 at the back.

or "that shot from ridenton, do you think anyone else could have just knocked it in with their dick?"

That's why I want decent 1/2 time analysis...... well actually decent everything in relation to the A-League and the FFA.... but hey that has been done to death and hopefully soon that will change

He hasn't stopped running. Just went on a couple of big runs.

He has been injured until this week though.
