WPM R26 vs Melbourne Victory | Fri 29th April | 9:45pm | SS7

Well, yeah. And? We're not giving up the dream till we have to. Yellow tinted all the way. 

COYN. 

Fudge it is pelting down... does it help us or hinder us?

Would of been interested in seeing McGarry start up top ahead of Old with his extra pace.

rain has to be the great equaliser.
makes it tough for all!
Fatigue has to be an issue for Victory, 8th game in a month.

wind RAIN phoenix

Feel like there could be lots of goals in this one. I thought Victory's defence looked pretty dodgy vs Roar on Monday night... They look dangerous on attack though.

3-2 to the Nix is my prediction!

TAB has Victory win as heavy favourite.

Come oooon yyooooouuuu Niiiixxxx

As do most other bookies I'm sure and I hate to say it but I think they are right. I'm not hopeful of any points here at all. 

 
Some here might have their yellow tinted glasses on but we have been poor defensively for 3 plus months, even in games we some how win (Auckland etc) and with Josh and Dave out it's become even harder.


Anyways

C'mon you Nix.

Think the TAB have forgotten/ignored that we have won the last 3 games against Victory, in fact we beat them this season 13 rounds ago - just before their current unbeaten run.

I meant to say I don't give 2 fudges what the TAB reckons and I always wear my yellow tinted glasses.

Cooooome ooooon phoooooeniiiixxxxxxz

FARK ME!!

I wonder if they watered the pitch before KO....despite the rain.

5 man defence.

F...k

Time to make some history boys. A win after conceding.

Come on you you Nix!

You owe a big game to the lad my wife calls Peralta cos we’ve hung him out to dry a couple of times now. 

Rojas is up for this game!

FTT!

Rojas is up for this game!

 He knows Danny Hay will be watching this one! 

This pitch is absolute bs.
Good signs from Sutton, Piscopo and Wootton. Hoops in reserve. 

Fire Up!

Come on Gael! Fire Up!

Maaaaaaatt

I'm not sure he has even made himself available for selection... wasn't a great sign he wasn't at the OFC tourn.

good break from Reno, Gael doing well to keep up and get into space.

Ref has already decided he's not gonna call any fouls for us.

This ref is so bad already

How the fudge is that a handball, let alone a yellow card?

Links?

Pathetic. Looks like I’ll be in bed by half time.

yellow card for Fenton protesting that the missed foul was not called.
correction Wootten received it for the "handball"

We are suffering from a serious lack of leadership on the field.

go now, saves us all some pain.

Sean Evans getting told what fouls to give by Victory players and none to us. Bs yellow against Fenton. I mean I think you know if it was me I would take someone with me each week rather than get some bullshark card for where you take a throw. It’s what’s been done to Ball.
I’m happy for there to be a standard on dissent, but there’s not, just inconsistent and so unjust refereeing. 

Edit: it was Wootton not Fenton. So my point doesn’t stand on that decision!

Ben Old dives alot needs to cut that out of his game

the point regarding the ref being guided by Victory on what a foul is stands though.

Reno gets the calls! Good lad
Edit: and now Evans underlines it.
Come on you Nix!

that's in the box! PEN!

I'm sure Evans will be pulling out a yellow card for Victory any second now.

lol! no card yet its handball in the box!

Where's the yellow card you cheating cnut

Please don't slip over.

Sigh.

should be retaken, Geria entered the box before the shot.

FFS. Let Sandoval take it.

So the yellow card? 

FTT!
