R22 vs Brisbane | Sun 22 Mar | 7:00pm | SS5

Yes the drought was certainly broken !

Hmmm

Funny they have an issue with the website when we go 4 points clear

Damn, WSW are playing the same ground on Wednesday, and the weather's not forecast to improve. They'd better bring their snorkels.

The commentators said late in the game there was a possibility of that fixture being moved to the Gold Coast already.

Probably a good idea. The pitch looked crap even before the rain.

Sure do, my account has been topped up.

The results of the other games were almost perfect for us this weekend.

Phoenix top of the league and winning their last 3 away games vs Melbourne A/Perth/Brisbane, NZ unbeaten and into the semi in the cricket world cup... what the hell is going on!

We must be living in some weird paradox of time.  I'm liking this reality.

The Roar fans would be asking for the game to be replayed 'cause they wuz robbed - the ref did not give them a fair cop.

To which I would say "Now you know how we feel most of the time".

So the rules stated that the score at the time of abandonment is the result, not HT. Considering Roar had a free kick not far out when the ref called it is fairly harsh. Great call!!

You know I think the gods are now are on our side. For the first time ever I am starting to believe we can win this fudgein thing

Table updated now on a-league site.

Anyone else not get paid out on their bets from TAB? I had PHNX 2-1, Phoenix/Phoenix and Krishna Goal+Phnx Win. They refunded my money for the first two bets and have "Not winner" for the last. States in their terms and conditions: 

Result had already been determined though?

'unless a result has already been determined' surely means you should get paid out.

I mean that's there to stop someone planting a bomb at the stadium to influence the result. This is nature so it should stand.

It's poorly worded too, what is their definition of 'abandoned'? I'm pretty sure they mean 'no result' but keep it ambiguous enough that they can not pay out bets when they want to. 

If they aren't paying out to you for your 2-1 bet, then ask them if they are refunding bets on everyone who had a different scoreline to 2-1, if not then they have no argument at all and should be paying out.

yeh and surely if "bets are Void" they should be refunding Krishna Goal+Phnx Win too. Cheeky buggars. Oh well ill let them know. 

He said they did refund on those. I still think they should pay him on the 2-1 though; for any very close decisions they should err on the punters side otherwise it just opens things up for them to manipulate close payouts as they wish.

There are many online bookmakers who offer far better odds than the NZ TAB, so considering they offer terrible odds to start with they shouldn't be giving themselves more of an edge. They should just take the hit on results like this, they can afford it and it's a good business decision considering customers can (and should) go elsewhere.

They had Phoenix at $3.30 to win in Brisbane, those are decent odds. 

It looks like they paid out my bet for Phoenix to win, but will double-check again later.

March 22.

Round 22.

Rule 22.

Point 22.

All the Twose.

What's this got to do with Roger?

..... NO

Add Captain fantastic shirt number 22 to that

New chant.."We are playing all the water polo.."

No Thomas Broich #22 *mindblown*

The Phoenix have now earned 97 away points in their history (Sauce: http://www.ultimatealeague.com/standings.php?season=all)

A win away to Heart City on the 12th of April would bring up 100 away points.

You hear them say "Ernies not happy" and then the ref calls it without argument.  I found that quite funny.

That's respect.

And Durante is arguing "What do you mean we're done, we're winning 2-1 at the 70th minute." Didn't realise we had won.

Twas just scrolling through the FB posts from last night when I came across all these posts on Wellington's, Brisbane's and the A-league page from some guy claiming to be a phoenix fan claiming we were getting dicked and the game ending was unfair. Turns out after a mere two second sleuthing of his profile he lives in Brisbane likes all the Brisbane fan pages and doesn't like a single Wellington page. Absolute joke

You mean he is your usual 16 year old nob end from Brizzie?

Well ive been on the phone to TAB all morning. Looks like they arent going to pay out and are just going to refund some bets and not others even though it clearly states in their terms and conditions that they should be paying out.

What absolute trash.

Well they have to pay up on a result or final score bet, that’s clear from your quoted rule.

Yeh which is also the rule they are quoting for not paying out.. https://www.tab.co.nz/information/#2015-03-23/roar-v-phoenix-cancellation

The guy with the Warriors profile pic? 

Um... they paid out on mine. Maybe I am talking about the wrong thing?

yeah, other people have collected
