are those two young aussies coming here going to eligible for an NZ u20 team (as per Cam)?
They're here already - they both played on Sunday - Rudan said they are eligible, we only have his word for it at the moment.
He said they are eligible for NZ u 20?
Rudan said they can play for New Zealand. As you can imagine, inquiries have been made to try to establish that is correct. They're both born 1999 so in the U-20 frame.
New episode! http://yellowfever.co.nz/podcasts and in your podcast app of choice!
The Phoenix are back! Patrick jumps back into the pod team this week after the first round of the new season, featuring a debut win for Mark Rudan, a raft of VAR controversy, and a Wel Clasico full of goals in the Handy Prem.
Brilliant - this will get me thru to lunch.
Just started listening and confess to cracking up at the intro. Must be a quiet day at the office!
Great Pod, esp the intro
factcheck though - Cam was right - The last time we won the first game of the season (2-0 v Sydney, 2012-13) we finished last
Saturday was only the second time we have won the first game of the season.
it was however the 4th time we have won the first HOME game of the season - in 2009-10 we beat Perth 2-1 and 2011 we beat Jets 2-0 but these were the second games of the season
Anyway good to have Pat back - theres a good balance that doesn't work as well when there's only 3 of you

Not the first time, not the last time.
Loving having the pod back nice and regular and footy to talk about.
cracking intro :)
Got to the station earlier today, plugged in the pod, & 5 seconds later, I'm giving it full Warbz.
Fortunately, it's a small suburban station, & not many people are heading to work at 12:45pm.
Did you guys record this week? Any guest on the show or coming up?.
Mr Positive
We recorded on Thursday night so I'd imagine it will be out today. If not poke your sticks in Pat's direction.
A few guests are planned and requested but timings as always are proving the sticking point - watch this space however as we will get them on eventually.
"He's operating a turnstile down the left flank"
new pod. listen wherever you usually do.
The Phoenix came back from Brisbane with a point, can they continue their form so far into the WSW game this weekend? TeeDubs continued their season with a 3-0 win over Waitak and host their first home game of the season this weekend, and NZF have released their action plan following the Moir report.

Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
Hi team
Another quality podcast. Patrick - back to referee school for you
My two cents worth on the Bonevacia goal.
In the day and age where VAR is in use, ARs are now largely coached to keep the flag down for as long as possible because replay will clean it up - it picked up the offside, which is what happened. It’s designed to stop the situation my old mate ran into at WC2014 where a goal is ruled out when a player is onside.
If there was no VAR, and the flag goes up for O/S, we would not have the shot on goal and Joe Public has nothing to complain about. The outcome of where the ball ends up is what has caused the outcry when that is an immaterial outcome to the fact that play does not progress after the O/S - full stop, the end. That is fact and law.
As to the referee signal, blow the whistle and signal direction 1st. This is a fundamental. After that, you then signal if the restart is IDFK (arm up) or DFK (nothing). It’s how I have signalled every single O/S since about 2006 when it was pointed out to me my error and also how I coach other referees so don’t confuse what Chris Beath did or did not do at the time to interpret what his decision was. What is important, is did he go to position and THEN signal IDFK (which would acknowledge the O/S). Haven’t seen the footage to confirm that. If he does, then his “story” 100% stacks up with what he said after the game.
As for the ‘what does football expect’ line - yeah I’m hearing this more and it is valid - in certain situations. I’m hearing it more and more when referees want to justify softing out of a hard decision because they don’t have the stones to enforce the laws of the game.
An example of what would football expect: swap out Singh on his handball goal for a Jets defender but the ball does not go in. ‘Football’ would not expect a handball decision and penalty there because it’s a harsh call. ‘Football’ does not like seeing goals scored with the arm at all even accidentally. Hence you can have same situation, different shirt on, different outcomes because common sense. This situation here, where an offside situation occurred because an attacker in an O/S position interferes with a defender and his ability to challenge the play, is not a ‘football expects’ situation. It’s O/S, don’t pass go, don’t collect $200 bones. After that, what happens is immaterial.
A lot of people don’t like it, but had this been blasted over, no one would be arguing the nuance and would accept it. So how does the ball going in after the fact when an infringement occurs make a difference. The answer is that it does not.
Congrats on 150 pods guys

The pod reassemble following the 3-0 loss to WSW in the rain, and quickly realise that none of them watched any of the rest of the A-League from the weekend. Meanwhile, there were mixed results for the Wellington teams in the Handy Prem.
Good listen. Thanks.

"He's operating a turnstile down the left flank"
New pod!
The Phoenix have gone down 2-0 in an uninspiring performance, we discuss what can be changed to turn around the fortunes of the team. Meanwhile, Patrick goes on a rant about the VAR, and mixed fortunes for the Wellington teams in the Handy Prem.
Great passion about those hand balls.
tldr - I thought they got the calls right
---
Duras is more vulnerable to getting called for a penalty, imho, because his arm is outside his body and gives him a better chance of obstructing the flight of the ball. So there is benefit, or potential motive, for his arm being where it was. In the other case I think no way could you say that.
Watching both in real time I thought Dura might get away with it, but we'd need to be lucky, and no way that's a penalty for the other one.
The individual magic so far has come from Singh, Rufer and Krishna.
Rufer hit a good long shot. Singh hit a good free kick, and has made openings , but has been scuffing shots. Krishna has made space, but there's no one in the box or only one to finish.
Great VAR rant... and now the EPL are introducing it. Can we please have their VAR refs and they have ours for a while?

New pod just came through to my app. I wondered why the team were so eager to talk about the last game... turns out its pre-disaster.
