WPM R27 vs Perth Glory | Sun 14th Jan | 9:45pm | Sky Sport 2

Mainland FC

Bananas

Why was the studs to Al Tay not pinged?  I thought studs up colliding with someone is one of those absolute black and white calls, accident or not?

 Did not look intentional.

 doesnt have to be, comes under reckless tackle.

ONLY BANGERS ALLOWED

Stunning strike to salvage it there from Payne. I thought we had botched that one in the box.

Kiwis on fire!

There’s what we’ve been missing! Bringing the Payne! A Paino pile driver! 

I rather enjoyed that one gents.

Payne banger!

More Payne for Glory!

Nice strike by Payne.

Fudge off VAR! there's no way Kosta is off

Fkn VAR, always there to ruin the high...

It stands thank god.

Surely we're seeing an announcement for a Kosta contract extension sometime this week?

Thunderous finish from Payne after a quiet couple of weeks from him performance wise.

I think it is time for Old to come on for Ball

I think it is time for Old to come on for Ball

Why? Ball is doing everything except score, Old was withdrawn to the bench due to a twisted ankle in warm up so maybe Italiano wants to keep him on ice unless absolutly necessary.

Didn't they say in the build up that Old had rolled his ankle?

 Thanks, wasn't aware of the ankle thing. 

We’ve got a while to go with half the back line on a yellow…

 Kelly-Heald can cover LB and CB, not to worry.

Who’s this commentator who knows about the Nix players, at least a little, and is funny? 

Archie Thompson is one of them
Dan Garb is the sideline guy

Perth looks defeated. 

seriously?
that was some jinx!

Oh FFS it just had to be David Williams who set that up.

 That's the one and only Archie Thompson

Had enough of this. Need to have someone ready to go to steady us because we’re conceding far too many goals. If Old is injured that’s very bad news.

 just gotta keep giving the ball to Kosta!

Okay so I'm just going try something here in the spirit of how frequently people have been posting something in this thread and then the opposite happens immediately after...

I bloody hate that yet again I've bought a lotto ticket that's not going to be the big winner....

This game doing absolutely nothing for Alex Paulsen's save percentage.

Some bangers in this game, but some poor defensive work all round.

Haha what a night!

That was literally their only attack for 20 minutes and they just waltzed through.

And there goes Kosta. Jesus.

Ridiculously good game.

Not for the faint hearted though. 😆

Kosta with the insta reply! What a cross

Sutton off for Kelly-Heald

Rufer, Payne and Kosta. 

Captain and experienced Kiwis. 

Let’s put this away boys. It’s not like basketball ffs!

Rufer has been excellent so far. Every decision has been the right one

Gonna be a struggle to sleep after this one.

The ball to Payne cut their defence in half and then his ball to Kosta was perfect. I should’ve been asleep an hour ago but this is too much. Let’s bring it home!

I have absolutely no faith they we will keep them to three goals. On the other hand I'm enjoyed a good old fashioned goal bonanza. Nix don't generally get involved in too many of these.

boys seem keen to keep scoring
didnt notice that Old had come on, I assune for Ball, nope must have been Al Taay

There’s still a minimum of 15 minutes!! Oh my flipping heck.
