R20 vs Western United | Fri 21th Feb | 7:15pm | RoF/SS7 | #WhackingDay

McCowatt get your fudgeing foot on it

Terrible

Loses the ball every time he gets it, touch like an elephant - this is supposed to be NZ's best local talent? 

Lol Burgess 

McCowatt is really letting us down here. Giving the ball away left right and center where we can't afford to. 

Let's see what Sotirio can do

card? Wtf?

Libby's having a top game tonight. Solid in defence, making dangerous runs constantly.

Taylor you muppet. The ref isn't buying that in a million years lol

Western United are thugs!.

Some tired boys out there. No fun running into that wind for 90 minutes.

Keep focused

For fudges sake Sotirio, him and McCowatt have tried their best to lose this

Sotirio you clown!

not a foul tho

Be thankful he didn't card him!

awww yeahhhh

Beautiful finish

WOOOOHOOO! That'll do it!!

beautiful Bally!

2nd is it?

On the table that is.

Edit:Piney says no

All done.  Somehow it's only 2-0, but a pretty dominant game overall.

Guys, this may be a game where Berisha doesn't score against us. I can't believe it.

Rufer has done well since coming on tbf

Need some enjoying football chant for him

I'll drink to that. Really good performance again from us. Defence has impressed me even though WU haven't been especially good on attack.

good game, I knew we would win.

Always the optimist

another beautiful day in Wellington!

man that rain in Wellington is full on.

going to miss Davila when he returns home

BREAKING: footage of Mark Rudan

Devere, taylor, cacace, davila and ball all in top form

I was disappointed the ref didn't card a couple of the WU players for persistant fouling. It really killed the game off, devilla got hacked out of the game. 

Has happened several times against us now

So does Stef get the assist for that last goal? The weather was crazy, does anyone know what the crowd was? Also, good on you if you went!! 
 

croud was 7300 or something close

Just over 7k,shame the weather was shark as apparently pre sales were very good. 

Marinovic gets the assist, fox is saying its the first goalie assist since 2015

regardless of weather , I had some first timers with me and they absolutely loved it. Yeah, weather didn’t mean the best quality of football but overall they enjoyed it. Judas got what he deserved, which was nothing. Fudge the Aussie bastards. They deserved fudge all.

If it wasn't for Kurto, we would've run up a cricket score - I'm claiming this one!

Some observations

- Kurto was astonishing, would have been a complete rout without his performance 

- Fantastic phoenix football 1st half, not so keen on the second half, if WU nicked an equaliser it would have been a travesty

- Piscopo spoils too many good attacks for my liking. Mccowatt no better

- Cacace simply awesome. 

- Ref was terrible, let WU foul from behind all night. Should have been a fistful of yellow cards. 

- Rudan, what a cod

- Berisha, what a complete cod

- Ufuk, you are the man. 

- Proud of this team, was a very entertaining spectacle
