Perhaps people will now admit that we are just not good enough.

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

No issues with the commentry - we have given him nothing positive to work with - what do you want him to say?

Oh and Parkhouse not looking that great on the left with these last two crosses either...

It's like attack vs defence, except the coach put all the best players in the attacking team, and all the worst players in the defensive team

North Harbour could be very empty.  As much as I want to see him play (and think he should keep playing and getting chances), Cacace got done like a dinner there.  Hopefully a learning curve for him.

DM not covering Cacae there.

Nice touch.

Fark I'd like us to show some spine and hit back.

Slater just called it game over.

3-3 at least. Get one we don't deserve.

A professional contract

Go overseas, try to ake it there, get a gig at Auckland... the coach is playing Parkhouse for fsake - he claerly doesn't reate NZ youngsters

The biggest issue for me is our Coach. He seems to be in love with the Serbians no matter how poorly they play, and also in love with Parkhouse. How come Monty hasn't replaced Klaud, Singh in for Llujic - these guys have had poor games - and where is our new keeper in this must win game? And Roy is unhappy too - we were better when Vidosic was here.

Look at Durante and Fox, I think you have to at least excuse those two. They have shown total heart on a number of occasions tonight.  Ridenton, Italiano, Cacace, Parkhouse are trying to earn their place in the league, I can't imagine they are lacking passion.

I really don't think this is about passion.  I think it's an easy accusation to make of a team that isn't winning, and 9 times out of 10 it isn't true (there are certainly exceptions).  I think we just plain aren't good enough.

I can see a number of the current squad not being here next season, and rightfully so, they havent bought into the coaches plan and are showing no desire to stay.

I fail to believe that Parkhouse is worth a spot ahead of Singh, Patterson, McGarry, Rufer, Rogerson or even Watson who has now left. He offers nothing, nothing.

But he is the perfect embodiment of the NIX currently.

Sack the coach and hire Ramon please PLEASE

Mate some of our other players have been infinitely worse than the Serbians

perhaps, and his ability to cross the ball.


the only certainty we have for next year (if we are still in the league) is that the coach will still be here.

Absolutely zero help from Paracki.  Just let Economidis walk by.

End of Italiano's A league career you think

How is that not a foul from Santalab. The defender gets any contact on the forward and it is a foul. Santalab pushes the defender away from the ball like that is surely a charging foul or something. He's not dribbling there.

OK- hard news time

This season can not end soon enough for me!

I will continue to watch every game - but I just don't care (enough) anymore. 3 seasons of absolute sharke, 3 seasons of it!
