R26 vs Sydney FC | Sat 8th April | 7:35pm | ROF

3 at the back is all the rage these days isn't it?

Threshold is 8 cards atm. Dura and Lia are on 7 each. A-rod and Rossi on 6.

I can't remember if yellow card accumulation suspensions carry over to next season. Suspect it's only red card suspensions that do. Which means we only have to worry about Dura and Lia.

Who had a carry over suspension a year or so ago back. Banned for a FFA game iirc. Playing the odds it was probably Manny. Think it was for yellows.

Yellow card suspensions are the ones that are competition specific and carry over to next A-League season. Red card suspensions can be served in FFA Cup.

Our twitter thread about it here: https://twitter.com/pineyzb/status/519639513488822...

Did we ever find out where the 8th card came from.

Oooh forgot VAR is available this round.

Saturday:

Lowry, Sing, Rogerson IN the team.

Ridenton, Fox OUT, injured

Fark let's get these mothers.

Farken Bernie Ibini will probably score against us.  

this defence is poo they brake and we are farked

more importantly ,most likely last home game whats planned before and after game?.

Neonatal collecting at the game this Saturday

Please bring some cash to the game and donate to this great cause that helped out our own Phoenix legend Siggy and his wife Deanna with their boy Cameron.

The support of Ben and Deanna for The Neonatal Trust comes from the very early arrival of son Cameron, who arrived 16 weeks early at just 24 weeks. He arrived weighing just 715 grams. You can read the article about Camerons early arrival and fight for life, which was written by Deanna in 2014, here.

* Examples of how Neonatal support families: https://goo.gl/O69Lpc

Surely Lowry at RB. Made a pretty good job of it against Jets before getting injured

does anyone know beyond rumor where mr tratt is or how long before his contract is up?...

Definitely a worthy cause. Please dig deep folks. I have seen first hand the phenominal work the Neonatal Trust do with the premature arrival of our twins nearly 2 years ago.

I saw Lowey, Ridenton and Watson leaving the westpac after the game.

are the Nix also acknowledging this great initiative?

LOoks like Kelburn Park

So Melbourne Sharkty won tonight, We could end up in 5th if we win our last two.

This is it, must win, season defining blah blah blah.  Just fire the fudge up.  It's smurf smashin time

Is Vuka wearing a Nix top?

Hey mate are you posting from a row boat check out off topic few people wondering if we need to send in some Bay Watch babes to rescue you.

I've got a bad case of Deja Voodoo  but     COYN

last away trip to wellington for me this season, has been an up and down season but that is football and you have to take what you are given when supporting a football club. playing half a game for my team at 12.30pm then we are on our way to phoenix city.

I wish I could be there... Fire the fudge up on my behalf!

The weathers shining where I am but I'll still take up the offer of Bay Watch babes rescuing me if Barry doesn'!

Fire up. Nice to have the season still alive at this point. Quite often we are already dead and buried by now. Great going to the game knowing its not a dead rubber.

I'm so keen for this. I'm going overseas in the off season and will be away longer than our current license lasts, I'm not sure if I'll have a club to come back to. I've got some great memories of nix games over the years, looking forwards to a last hurrah, and a push towards the 6. COYN

Great going to the game knowing its not a dead rubber."

No, it is a lubed rubber with potential to score big. We're a bit featherlite but without too much ribbing and plenty of reservoir, we might come big. So con dom to the stadium and watch the sexy game.

Streuth, I think I have used up pretty much all of the puns, I'm fudgeed.

You are my nomination to lead the Conga and leave us and yourself a very big happy memory.

just 422 minutes until kick off

Fire Up!
