f**ks sake. Nice work Sky.
Said it before, and I'll say it again. How stupid is Sky?
Surely Football Fans out number Hockey?


Anyway.

Im going into this game reasonably confident. But heart have been playing some decent football recently.
 
1 point.

Paston in for Warner.  Otherwise same XI, Sanchez (if fit) onto the bench for one of Smith or Daniel.

This, But im more firm on Sanchex replacing Smith on the bench.
Ive been quite anti Daniel for a while now but he has shown some glimpses of brilliance in his past games. Maybe this is his year?

Your hunch or what you want to see Piney?
 
Personally I'd squeeze Sanchez in for Ward unless he needs a light load returning from injury.

Surely they will consider changing the schedule after ALL YF MEMBERS send them an email kindly requesting that no one gives a toss about Hockey in this country??

Any update on injuries?
I'd go this way
 
                                                        Paston
                       Manny          Dura               Siggy           Tony (sigh)
 
               Wardy              Lia                    Brown         Leo
                                             Greenie  
                                                               Ifill
 
Subs:
Warner
Daniel
Pavlovic
Smith

Can't see how Pasty won't get his chance this week.
 
I think they'd be keen to manage Sanchez back from the bench.  He wasn't close to the 15 last week, so can't see him starting.

Is this the official word or just your own preference?

If NZ had a chance of winning an international Kabaddi tournament TVNZ or Sky would show it ahead of football.

esp since Australia recently got banned for being drug cheats.

I feel like greenacre was his least efficient this past game, didnt nearly get into it as much as recent games, not saying he was bad- just think he wasnt as involved as he has been.

With sanchez due back soon, does ifill shift wide with sanchez behind greeny, or does greeny drop out and sanchez in behind ifill?


My heart is saying keep greenacre, but i feel like an attacking duo of sanchez and ifill with ward+ leo as support could be quite the intimidating attack.

Or do you mix things up even more and drop brown or lia and play one defensive midfielder with sanchez the attacker a bit deeper behind the two strikers?

I'm pretty sure that would break several copyright laws and don't see 4Kingz staff being silly enough to cop a hefty fine...

I think we'll have to wait until 830pm or watching on streaming at home

Writing to sky. Moaning, Twittering. Lets find feeds on the day and tweet away.

Willing to pay for iSky, and currently do, but if they're not going to show games live, i'm going to drop it and go illegal.

Oh come on! Schutze has been a rock in that right defence. So you cant fault me on that.
Heinelin, although many may not agree.. He had a great season before thats horrific injury he sustained against in his debut two years ago against the Netherlands, and I think that his inclusion will amp the game up as he will be out for revenge.
Keller, because Luftwaner is out injured and has had a good season in the national league (Of Germany)
And Hasse, because he has been captain of the team for going on 10 years and the wisdom and knowledge of the game, this will help the younger looking midfield in the upcoming competition

Really?

Yeah Boi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally SKY see the light

The same goes for the Premier League in the early hours of the morning, they insist on showing live Golf instead of a 2nd/3rd league match. The way I see it, that if they don't show the match I want to see live but I can find a stream for it then it's technically the same as watching on SKY (Seemingly because I'm paying for SKY and eventually they will show a replay)

Don't bet on that.  At the same time as that tweet Rod was getting an email that said Hockey wins, screw you all.
 
My bet is they're hoping the cricket will be over to get them out of a hole.

Posted on the sky coverage thread,but:

It's nz. It's just horrible luck. I do actually think international sport where nz is playing should take preference. Even though I personally can't stand hockey. The nz golf open is a one off event that will easily rate higher,not to mention they would've paid more for the rights.

Would isky still be playing it live? (may fix the problem for some people at least)

Allegedly

I would prefer Smith to start with Brown on bench but know it won't happen.

Love to see Sanchez and Ifill on the park together but I suspect Rickie will ease Sanchez in and give him 30 mins off the bench. When they do get to start together it will be awesome. One thing you can bet on is Heart will have Ifill heavily marked. We need Sanchez there to take some of the heat off. He is great at bringing other players into the game and he can score as well.
 
Other wise same team as last week except Pasty for Warner.
 
You kind of feel that the season has finally started with the win over Sydney....we have a near full squad and Ifill is on fire......can't we go back and start it all over again???????

I hope Paston starts - there's more to being a keeper than having a 'strong personality'

re comments re Greenacre not having as good a game as usual - he was playing in a different position and so was less visible

give him a few more games in a 4-4-2 with Iffy i reckon

based on sunday's performance - no need to rush Sanchez back (nb he is good for us but we can afford to give him time to recover fully)

RE SKY - SPAM THEM!

An absolutely ridiculous farce if the game is not on. This really would be a slap in the face for Phoenix and football fans.

NZ v Korea at Hockey?? FFS, you cannot tell me they'd get higher ratings for that.

Relax people. It will take the extra hours for the carrier pidgeon to fly the tape of the match from Morwell to Melbourne so it can be broadcast!

So technically it will be about as live as you will get for Gippsland!
