not keen on giving away our football credibility to try to prop up Jackson's sliding movie credibility.

I want to go watch this fantastic football in the yellow stripey of the mighty mighty Phoenix!

I actually quite like both of them, the 2nd guy I didn't like at first and his voice is a bit weird, but he's grown on me and is actually quite humorous. Hasn't seemed bias at all and has generally talked the phoenix up and made sensible comments. 

I was thinking of writing this when we were 1-0 down, not just now we are winning and I'm in a good mood!....

He should make sensible comments, he played for Australia for over 30 games.

Robbie Slater played 44.

Jets are not playing at all well but are probably over due for a result. In contrast We got away with a decent result after a poor start last sunday.

Will take a draw!

I think the broadcasters are missing that the Jets only had the lead cos we missed 2-3 point blank finishes.

How much of a footballer is Roy turning out to be? Pace, touch (mostly!!) a strike and a enough of a football brain too

could watch that Krishna goal over and over.

huge credit to burns for finally finishing a 1on1 cleanly too, which is pretty much the only blot on his copybook this season

Ha, Ernies wry smile and look to the heavens when Krishna scored.

Also just realised Roly's pass was a no looker

Nah, didn't miss it, just felt in the mood for a crack at Slater who's been grinding my gears for years. Fave Ned-ism of the night: "He had time for tea and biscuits!".

At 1-0 down and with so many chances missed I thought we were really going to pay for having a front 3 of not-a-strikers. But how about that. 

Bonevacia is also pure class.

I thought Rodriguez had a very good game. Was disappointed to see him subbed at 0-1 down, as Lia doesn't offer anything going forward. Then we suddenly click for some reason, and score 3. Good performance but I'd be disappointed in the coach if he decides that's enough for lia to be given a starting role over Rodriguez.

Also Ned called BS on the offside malarky with the BS line drawing: benefit of the doubt to the attacking team. It's a very marginal line call, level or slightly offside at best- benefit of the doubt to the attackers.

Their goal not offside as the ball was ahead of the player.

It's a bit unfortunate- but I think that Roly got more space when he went off and could play in different areas maybe? Roly made that impact. He's done it again!

Even a few games ago Krishna was looking pants. He was quick, but taking dumb options and having heavy touches. He has improved out of sight at the Phoenix and is now well worthy of his place.

I'm guessing the substitution was more to do with the head knock.

 Rodriguez had a very good game.

I thought it was a clear offside for our 2nd to be honest.  Didn't seem that marginal.

didn't see it with the naked eye- and when they freeze it possibly he's marginally there at the moment of the pass, but with his going backwards and the defender going forwards it is very difficult to tell. Not at all clear cut- hence Zelic's comment.

Man and I happy with the result if not how we got there. We started well and controlled the ball, just couldn't finish, then down the other end we get punished.

Two good subs from Ernie taking Doyle for Fenton and A-Rod for Lia and we score three in five minutes. Quite happy to take three points, but still need to do better

I'm an optimistic pessimist. 
I'm positive things will go wrong.
