Just saw the highlights and the Citeh goal came off the back of Manny's head, did it not? So an average game from him. ;)
Great night out and a great result. Also wish we signed Aaron Mooy - he's a fantastic player.

Extra points for "good ball-heading skills, including a goal assist"

I thought it was pretty funny that the scoreboard under the screen at the fever zone end had WPX for Wellington Phoenix and MLB for Melbourne B
People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.
croud attendance 10,000 then seconds later 6,500 and something. Lol. You dont know what your doing!
Brilliant game. Was expecting us to get well and truly humped. Thought Durante played out of his skin. Fox was decent abd did well to keep that diving cod Fornaroli under control. Manny looked really good as well. Ridenton has really come into his own the last couple of months.
Zone was pretty vocal and full which was cool.
The wind was atrocious and the way it kept pushing the ball while Mooy was trying to kick it was gold.
All in all a freaking awesome night and a great way to celebrate 10 more years.
A little gem from Ernie in the post match interview too "It was a strange game for us,” We didn’t have a penalty given against us, had no-one sent off"
It was my birthday yesterday.
Decent present I thought.
Never thought that 6,500 would come to my party though.

Perhaps you shouldn't have offered unlimited drinks ;-)

Belated Happy Birthday.
Happy with the win.
I thought the Ref yesterday was one of the better ones that we have had this season. Yes he let some of the niggly stuff agaianst Rolly go but both teams were afforded the same lenience, I want him again.
Even though the verdict is out on Fenton, I'm happy that he netted; likewise thought Manny and Dura had good games.
Mooy will never score a flukier goal. I would have him in a heart beat and get rid of WeeMac.
WeeMac was invisible last night compared to the other X on the park.
We have had to put up with so many incompetent Aussie Ref`s over many years, it`s about time we finally get a break from a Kiwi Ref!!
I did not realise he was one of us but he did a good job last night. I'm afraid to say though Hoddle that over the past 17ish years, the Kingz, Knights and Nix have all been bent over and given a good one by kiwi refs inc. Brian Precious, Peter O'Leary, and Fox to name but three.
How's this for commitment? My partner was in ICU at Wellington Hospital from Tuesday-Thursday this week then released into a ward on Thursday night. Got home yesterday afternoon then 6.15pm last night decided she felt up for the game so we went. Was a slow walk up to the stadium and she was pretty tired but lasted the whole game. Fan of the week?

Remind me who set up the first goal?
He did indeed but was pretty anonymous for the rest of it. I dont know what is going on with him. Much much talent but it seems wasted out on the wing. Would prefer to see him in the middle.
I actually thought WeeMac was quite good - was the only one putting his foot on it.
Whenever he does anything good no one seems to notice. Maybe it's because he looks quite similar to other white guys in our team :d

It's Tim Brown syndrome.

But no one is saying- he's got a great engine, but...
As long as we keep winning then I wont question anyone about how well or shark they are playing - I'll single out Andrew Dewhurst and his bitch Fred
Haven't seen the replay, but thought the ref was pretty lenient and we got the rub of the green with most decisions. Think I'd have been a bit pissed off with it if I was a City supporter - but then again we often find decision goes against us (ala Roly being fouled), so I'm not going to complain.

I think that WeeMac has had a poor season overall - just think he played quite decent against City. No doubt he can do better, however. Brown was always obviously limited in technical ability.

but had no problem finding the net. Oh man- also Paston would have controlled his area and marshalled his defence better, so wouldn't have had to make all those saves
Just on goalkeeping, I thought Mossy was a bit of an unsung hero the other night. Often when the high ball swings in towards him I wince, cross my fingers and hope for the best, but his punching was excellent, especially given the horrendous conditions. Top quality save to deny Fornaroli too.
Because Citeh eventually realised they were playing Phoenix?
This game was a fascinating watch. There were so many "battles within the battle".
Fox v Fornaroli - Thought Fox did very well to keep him quiet. Fornaroli only had a couple of decent chances.
A-Rod v Mooy - A-Rod did a nice job of limiting Mooy's passing options. the only time he seemed to threaten was when he pulled wider.
Roly v Malik - This was a highlight for me. First half Bonevacia's skills on the ball and general guile looked too much for Malik, but by the second half Mailk's physical approach really seemed to wear Roly down.

So we should offer Fox and ARod contracts?

Yes, and yes.

Two weeks ago he was labelled as not having shown any growth and we should not resign him. Funny that....
Grumpy old bastard alert

It only takes one unexpected win.
