Kosta is terrible. Has been all season but still some on here defend him. Unbelievable.

Getting a bit frustrated with the Australian commentary. Too pretty decent goals, one long shot, and a great counter attack, pass, and finish, yet they'll only talk about Adelaides defence. Give credit to the goalscorers pls.

Pretty decent? Jesus waited three days before he rose again!

also, caps seems to beat the profanityfilters

And Harper thought that one was offside as well. Generally don't mind him but, man, he's getting on my tits today. Seems like the Fox crowd are getting more and more biased against the Nix.

You're probably right there, everyone (for the Nix) is making horrible out of the ordinary mistakes. Hard to watch.

roly getting fouled every time from behind again. And for some reason we find it hard to look for smeltz around the box. Good goals though, better than the piss poor commentary that's for sure. Krishna was so far onside it was ridiculous but "I think that's offside" they say.

pleased to see we have made the most of the little possession we've had. That being said, im a bit worried about how little posession we've had...

I don't even know what Harper is going on about when he says Krishna's goal was the result of poor defending. It came from a normal headed clearance from their free kick, Roly played it forward to Kosta who slipped through a lovely ball to Krishna whose finish was perfect. A quality counterattack, and if Marco/Berisha did the same thing for MV he'd be gushing.

Anyway, going to have to let this go now....

This is going to be the way the game is played IMHO, in this heat we're just going to sit back and try and take whatever chances come.

And we're sponsored by Foxtel! Well, every team is, but still it's on our team uniform.

Spain '82 is where it all really began for me. There were a few moments before, plenty of moments after, but that World Cup was the zeitgeist.

interesting tactical choice re subs coming up..I would use them now...Wee Mac for Roly (even tho he is playing well) and then Watson for Smeltz or Kosta..  I wouldn't bring Finkler on.  Keep one in case defensive change needed.

Seems to me that Smeltz is one of the fitter members of the team, would keep him on.  Think his stint in Malaysia has done wonders for him.

Damn, I'm starting to get that feeling of hope. I hate that feeling! If only we could poke away one of these chances and make it safe(ish).

yeah or he isn't actually doing much so still looks good.  Not tracking much in the heat which is understandable.

Not sure I want to see Roly off. Stuffed as he is he would do more work than a fresh Finkler.

He was saying that because he was talking shark about him earlier. 

These comentators aren't that biased, not compared to having Ben Sigmund on the sideline at our games.

Any ideas why Roy hasn't been involved much apart from scoring..seems to be playing quite deep?  Is he hoping to get the ball then run rather than back to goal.

But Siggie is an ex player for our club,  I would expect him to be biased.  Commentators should be unbiased,  unfortunately too many of Foxsports team seem to have another agenda

Our commentators are much more biased as well, or at least they talk about the Phoenix more than the opposition. Sigmund though, he's part of the commentary team so should make an effort not to be biased.
