Glad you said "we" and not "you". I do agree though

At the game - usual story except for a special goal from Roly; finding a lot of joy down the wing but no one is ever in the box and our back 4 is horrendously slow - all it takes is a lofted ball over the top from them. Boxall has been horrid; Roly / Riera have been good. Need more from Burns , A Rod and Krishna. Sick of Burns making space and not looking up for options

When is Dura going to learn that if you are always going to chip the ref every time  a decision goes against us you are going to get less 50/50.

 It is really starting to piss me off.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

Don't agree re Boxall but it's different live vs TV. Sigmund having a stinker and it does look like Burns is not getting his head up.

We are still playing a high line and it has never ever worked for us so not sure why we persist with it when they are faster than us and fudgeing quick on the counter. No team counters as quick as them.

On several occasions Boxall hasnt tracked runner properly; led to goal. Poor

Realistically, this game could be 5-3 to them so 1 all is a good result thus far.

It's a great game so far. We'll almost certainly lose (probably to an Archie goal in the 93rd minute) but it's nice to see the Nix in an exciting, high tempo match and not settling for dour defence. MV's attack is terrifying but we are playing some very good football too.

Don't mind the pen if challenges like that will be blown up all the time. With that ad the yardstick, could have had one or two last week.

In regards to Dura, I suppose it's like Keane or Viera or (insert a lot of captains) that try and 'manage' the ref in their favour. After the plethora of fouls recently, he must feel he needs to put pressure on the ref.

Yeah it's a bloody good game to watch and we are certainly contributing to it more than usual Victory Phoenix clashes

Or Dura has been told to to make it seem more visible of an issue.

I certainly did not expect an equalizer.

If it's still all tied up at 65 minutes, I sincerely hope Nutpuncher is unleashed.

It can work. If they are stopping us from taking quick free kicks then Durante should mention this. You have to do it in a respectful way though.

I think it will be a Melbourne/Sydney grand final, which would be pretty epic

I don't agree re A-Rod who's had a cracker IMO. Roly on the other hand, his goal aside, has been average. Given away far too much and has lost some pre-Asian Cup mojo

Sigmund's had one he'll want to forget so far

Good job Durante. He ran right past you and you didn't track the run.

Ran into the space that Muscat should have been in. You tuck in, not leave a huge fudgeing hole.

I think teams have learnt how to deal with reira now. They know hes good in a tackle and great at intercepting. But his touch lets him down. They either pressure his first touch or get a second player to gang tackle him
