By playing against 12 players, come on ref, take that yellow shirt off and expose your light blue one on. Bad day for this martha focker ref, hope you dont sleep well you absolute owner operator ,
That pen was not a pen. It came off his fudgeing back.
When it comes to handballs they talk about making yourself bigger, so the second pen shouldn't be one because it would have hit our defender in the fudgeing head. The first red isn't a fudgeing second yellow if Sydney isn't on fudgetones of yellows at that stage and that second red would at worst be 2 reds one for each team, or a red for Burgess for violent conduct and a yellow for us for trying to push the fudgeer back.
That ref is a cheating piece of shark and the Nix fudgeing ground it out. Oli you are a hero.
1. Sydney persistent fouling for no cards, including on counters and high up the field. 2. Finding a second yellow for Kraev, when in the context of the game it’s questionable that he’d earned one. 3. Making out that Pennington had fouled more violently or offensively than Burgess. 3. Finding 8 minutes extra time. 4. Finding a pen. 5. Finding a second pen.
Good on the players.
We can’t be blind. If there’s damaging money in the game all over the world it could well be in Australia. It could come from many sources, but there are so many gambling outlets internationally that take bets on everything and not all run by friendly people. Or it could be for a number of local reasons. We’ve seen Sydney get the GF for at least 3 years just for cash.
Who knows.
Someone needs to clip Sail after his first save. Also feel ALF may have missed that one purpose…
Refereeing was obviously atrocious. But I wanna give out some praise to our lads.
Zawada. Decent game. Showed his technicality, finished his chance and deserved at least one assist. Rufer. What a difference he makes. POTM for me. Brilliant performance, stopped so much coming through the midfield. And on injury return too! Oli Sail. Made good saves throughout the match, then boom, clutch save right at the end on the totally bullshark peno. You could tell he was up for it. The whole defence. Had a great game. Shut Sydney down for the most part but also scrambled when they needed to. All solid as performances. Well done. Ufuk Talay. Made the changes to balance up the game in midfield and we actually began to look comfortable after a somewhat hairy period. They only looked really dangerous when we went down to 9, and at that point there ain't much a coach can do.
Fudgeing massive well in boys - awesome win, hopefully this is the big kickstart our season needed.
I think you are right, Oli was back to his best tonight.YoungHe.\rt

Uffie was remarkably calm in that post match interview. I don't think he would've even bothered if one of those penalties went it. Voice was a bit hoarse in that one too. 🤣
That's my manager and the Wellington Phoenix are my football team!

I bet Evans doesn't get stood down for any games. If he were a tool, he'd be called "The Fixer". Bad luck. It didn't work, Sydney lost. Corica might be searching for a new job. 12 V 9 and they still lost. Poetic Justice.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!
I read them all, only 2 or 3 supported Sydney (Even Sydney fans were pissed off). Evans has humiliated himself and the game. The A League now have serious credibility issues. Especially after selling the GF to Sydney for 30 pieces of Silver. Evans has to be sacked but he won't be.

Corica finally felt what it's like to lose to his former teammate and associate. If LF did miss that 2nd penalty on purpose, massive respect to him, he knew Evans was being appalling and trying to take a deserving win away from us.
