Couldn't blame the pen there. I'd cover my face after being headbutt by a player and having a sore nose too.
Thank god WSW shanked it.

WPM R24 v WSW | Sun 24th Apr | 3:05pm | Eden Park
I think Sail was stuffed too. Had the WSW player hit it properly it would have been an easy goal.

Well the ball hit is right hand which was moving away from his face so I don’t think that excuse stands…
I'm here in the stand opposite the yellowfever (which is stand on TV) it seems there are far more people in my stand but hard to tell from where I'm sitting.
I think Ugarkovic simply slipped on a bad patch at wrong time. Lucky for us.
not a bad first half, 1-0 (should really be 1-1). Sotirio has done well at RWB, Ball epic as aways, great goal from Waine. Sandoval has done well centrally and Sutton at LWB is just fantastic. God damn Auckland weather,sun/rain/sun/rain make up your mind god dammit! Almost looks like the grass is too long, hopefully the lads change the boots at the half.
Think we've got this, WSW have looked dangerous on the counter but have lacked anything as far as a shot.

I'd wondered if they'd watered it too much? Is there a difference re: pitch maintenance for the other sport?
Still a bit clunky, but the difference to last week being we scored first. Hopefully they can build on it. Have lost out on the TV for the second half to two screaming toddlers :(
maybe over watered given the rain??
I don't think we'll keep them scoreless so a second goal is going to be vital.
I really rate Jacob Spoonley as a commentator. Best in the A League.
I think we need Sotirio's pace up front. Wasted at RB.
Not a bad effort from Waineo on that angle there.
Can we please not sit off them in this second half please!?

Feels like we are hanging on with 37 mins left.
Surman has been quality this game

We miss Lewis badly.
Pretty dire first 15 of this second half. Push up for fudge sake!
Surprised at WSW's table position.. They look quality.
This pressure from WSW us making me nervous. With this much ball they have too many chances to score a screamer.

He's gotta be up there for MotM so far. Really impressive and composed performance so far from the young lad. Made some crucial interventions at the back.
Come on Old, you've got the skills to spark something. I rate this kid.
Faaaark thought that was gonna be it
We have no midfield... I think Pennington is gassed and no one else in the squad with Rufer and Lewis injured.
They're really targeting Sotirio's flank. Need to change something up because eventually one is going to end in the back of the net. And it almost does just then as I was typing this up....
Who we got on the bench? Need to get playing with the ball upfield a bit!
Midfield starting to disappear in a puff of smoke. Pennington let Ogawa wander away there.
Do we have anyone on the bench that can play RB/CB? We need pace up front to get a second goal as it's only time before WSW scores.
Refs a cheat.
FFS that is a definite yellow!
I also know the field is slick too, but Jesus, what has happened to our ball control this half.
Where is the card there for Baccus!!!! FFS, we were away on the counter. Crap refereeing..

I don't care what the commentators say, that's a clear yellow.
Ref is a joke clear yellow and he’s done like 5 fouls total this game

Either we go to a back 4 and shift Payne RB or bring on Fenton
Guy headbuts you in the face or goes through your ankle studs up shouldn’t be on the park at that point anyway. We’ve had Ball limp off and Pennington tentative and the ref allowing them to kick us in the ankles without a chance of getting the ball.
And breaking up a counter to boot.

Wake up lads. This play is disgusting! Saved by the post, and then by the offside. Going to give me an aneurysm playing like this.
Baccus subbed off instead of sent off as he should've been.
Sounds like a game for Fenton to lose it. Relying on stuff text updates and this site for what's going on
We're begging them to score. No one applying any pressure. All watching, standing deep. We're on earth is our midfield. No one is able to pass the ball to a teammate, its woeful. Not happy with that garbage
