Jeff, you really have to accept that people can be watching the same game as you and come to different conclusions.

I can accept it, but that does not make you correct.

No way we're going to finish the game with 11 men.

On more pleasant topics, I think both Steyn and Kenny are doing a job.

I reckon Ernie is sitting on the sidelines muttering "No... no... I said 'be more ruthless', not 'start throwing punches around'!"

And Fenton. He's shining. Reira and Hicks also good. Vinnie Lia... well, we love Vinnie.

Anyway, can't stick around for the second half, but this looks a good game of football between two evenly matched teams. I'm picking a draw, unless someone gets sent.

What is Dewhurst on about. There were two of our players in the 6y box

him or Sigmund. Sigmund has been huge this year. (I'm not a fan of him but he deserves the praise)

Apart from that odd throw in. Stein looks like he is enjoying a bit more freedom, Cunningham has been OK, but he and Hicks aren't on the same wavelength at all. Hicks still having problems controlling the ball - needs to keep it tighter.

I'd say pretty even but their passing is a lot more accurate than ours.

My concern is that we look so shaky when we move the ball around at the back. We need to slow it down a little at the back and keep a cool head.

I'm in agreement with this.

I would get Carlos off or even Cunningham. They seem to be nutters today.

Only 12 fouls and 4 cards. Riera's was bullshit but it feels like a lot more fouls than 12

The only card that really felt like a bad one was Cunninghams. He barrelled the guy over the sideline

Trying to think how I'll be feeling if it gets to 80 minutes and it's still even: do we risk yet another late heartbreaker and go all out for the win?

Obviously I'd like us to go for the win but another late loss would be crushing to Nix morale, not to mention mine.

Dewhurst. Do you watch the game you commentate?

Ernie smiles with Greenacre. Dewhurst says 'you'll never get a smile out of Ernie' *facepalm*

I wonder how Gareth feels having Fred commentate on his games considering the frosty relationship between the two organisations.

Fark me, if Carlos was still playing for MV he's have 6 goals from those opportunities by now.

So must have Boxall and Lia in front of the back 4, Ifill then Boyd and co.

Who is the link man? I don't think anyone would have picked those subs.
