Was the best defensive performance I have seen so far by our boys and we showed great character imo. Old was impressive. Score makes it look a lot worse than it was.
Queensland should be worried that they couldn't break down a 10 man outfit until their defensive midfielder went off. Penalty was dubious. Will have to see it again, though.
Elrich had a brain failure. Can't argue that sending off considering the crack down on elbows lately. He should have been aware of it and kept the f**king thing down.
perhaps that Seo's a dirty little prick like Johnny giles used to be and that's why to of our lot have had a go at him twice,
or there was stuff all contact (or none - that picture was inconclusive) and he got a fellow pro sent off
or - if the pictures prove it - elrich made a big mistake
if it is either of the first two situations we have to really get into him verbally on dec 14 - in my opinion
Before I go on my rant,I'd like to say the boys played fantastic today. Old was immense, Christie great. Asset to the club.
Now. Those two f**king poofs on the wing. Biggest poofs Ive seen iny my f**king life. You dont even have to touch the nobs for them oto go down. Referee favoured them all night, those commentators though the sun shone out their arse even though their both sh*te! 2 lasses they were, looked like girls and spoke like fags. :@
Referee - Where do I start? Twat of the century. No sending off. Followed by corners that werent corners!!!! Fouls that werent fouls thanks to the 2 puffs as seen above. w**kers. Totally biased. Need a long look in the f**king mirror.
Commentators - 1st - stealing Braziliant off De jong. If you steal quotes of Fred de One tone you need to give up your job. So biased and speak utter sh*t the whole night. PLus, that guy has the most annoying voice ever, who gives these dicks jobs?!
Hyuk de sop sooey so mine so
w**ker. Everytime I see him I wanna knock him out What an utter nob. Acted as if he'd been shot when he got 'elbowed'. Dick.
I cant think of any more rants atm, when I do I will update you. NOT HAPPY
In saying that i will still be there in full voice next week,and will be WHEN WE DO TURN IT AROUND.
GET YOUR SHIRTS OFF FOR THE BOYS
Even if it had ended 0-0 I wouldn't have been happy with it. I don't know why Ricki didn't sub Felipe on.
With regards to Elrich, I didn't actually see an elbow in the replay, i just saw a player falling over, maybe that's just my TV, or the positioning of the cameras (I don't doubt their was an elbow though).
And we can't deny that that was a penalty. A blind ref would have spotted it. I no it was accidental, but still.
The only positives I can take from the match is that we have Lia and Johnson next week, and Ferrante showed promised when he smacked the ball against the bar.
Hope things go better at the Ring of Fire next week!
Go Phoenix!

(and i know Ballane loves the Nix as much of any of us -so are you a Bhuddist or a Christian Ballane? - whats the secret? for my blood pressure's sake i might nedd to learn it!!)
I'm more ranty than calm at the mo!
but we didn't let ourselves down tonight - the lads showed guts and played some intelligent football
cheers for the company - see/hear you at the sydney match!!
CMON YOU NIX!!
I would like to see a decent replay of the handball and the elbow to the face.
Kruse and co are a bunch of women alwyas faling over. As for that red card I hope Elrich actually got a decent hit in.
We played well up to the sending off. Played to feet well. It is clear though that we lack some serious pace looking at Kruse and Zullo.
Daniel isn't the quickest of people.
Smeltz again a work horse. Mossy is in great nick.
For the next 4 weeks it should be a different story. Theyll have the crowd behind them.
I think the support we give our boys at home is the best in the league. Looking forward to next week.
Can't really take a lot out of a match recked by some unfortunated decisions.
The Boys just have to keep there heads up.
And whats with Heinaldo? I'm pretty sure there's an R instead of the H.

Only unfortunate thing was the fact that Elrich lifted his elbow and even if that dick did take a dive Elrich needs to take the blame for lifting it even tho it cost us i have no sympathy for him.Mind you in saying that had it been HNs favourite player who had done i have no doubt he would have stayed on the pitch.

Three for me, and two for them.

brazilaint.ive got a song that wont take long, Adelaide are rubbish.. the second verse is same as the first.. ADELAIDE ARE RUBBISH
Botafogo - Rio de Janeiro and Wellington Phoenix, my two teams til death do us part.

One couldn't tell from the camera angles whether it was an elbow or not. He certainly went down like he'd been shot though. As did pretty much the rest of their team for much of the match. Disgraceful stuff, but the ref was lapping it up.
Moss a clear man of the match.

There were some absolutely appalling refereeing decisions made tonight that had us on the cross for much of the game. That red card was pure, unadulterated ducktales. f**king ducktales.
But sh*t oh dear, next week is going to be immense.

Still not a happy chappy though!
Sorry to HN and co... but they are w**kers and I am pissedss off
very few defenders get through a match w/o making a mistake - i thought our centre backs did ok (except for a few moment s between 15th and 30 minute)
after 1-0 (and some refs wouldn't have given that pen) we had to force it - 3-0 doesn't do justice to our efforts
When you say paris do you say par-ee? No.
Reinaldo = sh*t. Couldnt score in a brothel. unless the ref helps him>
w**ker
Phoenix played really well, cant believe te scoreline not just at all. Disappointed but I know things will get better, Ricki needs to make more subs esp when we only have 10 men!!!!!!!

By sending off our player, Reinaldo cant score against a fully equipped defence.
Either a 4-5-1 or a 4-4-1-1
