I have just watched the full replay of the first half.
We were awful. Awful.
McGlinchey and Krishna can be proud of their efforts, and actually Doyle had a good first half after the early mistake (again) that should have cost us a goal.
They gifted us a goal, and then we actually got a good one thru McGlinchey and Roly. Both of those two covered an awful lot of ground in the first half.
Thank heaven MC were poor

Is that Ewan McDonald with beer in hand at the top? Cant be two people with that haircut, surely?
He is probably eyeing Wooliam.
Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days
PMSL! I note the Media Savy Patrick managed to get into the shot yet again!! (Just teasing you).

I'm very puzzled by the corner count apparently.
It was for the 10th Anniversary of the A-League. These shirts were available to buy in Canterbury, Ryos etc. Not up for charity auction.
Not surprised there's a bit of confusion here, Dewhurst definitely said that it was a charity auction strip. But hey, he's such a superb commentator the rest of the time that we can forgive him this one mistake.
After Burns scored the first penalty, Dewhurst took about 30 seconds to realize it needed to be taken again. Is he at the stadium or at an Auckland studio ?
I think he's just prone to getting extremely carried away. So as soon as it's in the net he's going nuts and paying no attention whatsoever to what's actually happening.
This trait also manifests itself in his ridiculous hyperboles. If I had a dollar for every time he's referred to some sharkhouse aleague player as "world class"...
To be fair hyperbole seems to be mandatory for all A League commentators, not just Dewhurst. It's all part of selling the A League brand, so that everything has to be extraordinary, sensational, fantastic, gorgeous, even when clearly by the standards of the better leagues what we are watching is actually quite commonplace.
Also you can hardly blame him for getting a bit carried away. Burns had just confidently smashed home a penalty to give the club it's first ever hattrick, something we've been waiting seven years for. Some excitable yelling was understandable I reckon.
Ewen McDonald Me.
Importantly, the picture on the right shows correct club colours on display.

Holy crap, there really is a likeness.

Dear YF Ultra,
I heard the player worn third kits are being auctioned off to the public at some stage. Any truth to this?
Cheers,

Wow that Burns Jersey would be worth a pretty penny.
