Old is definitely the guy that could break this one open. A few half chances and quick turns. 

Game starting to come to life at the backend of the half. Brilliant save from Paulsen and what a block by Surman!

Rate that from Rudan tbf. That’s class.

Three for me, and two for them.

Been a tight game so far. Nothing neither way, apart from Rufer’s yellow.

I reckon calculating too! Trying to take the fans out of the game a bit. But yeh- the strange and wonderful world of the A league!

Feels like this is going to come down to an error from one team or the other.

Or refereeing bs. I don’t mind that not called but Rufer has a yellow for less.

True, the Rufer yellow was soft but it annoys me that VAR is getting involved in that. It was clearly the mildest of jostling and all it does is encourage more players to try their luck at rolling and writhing when they get nudged in the penalty area.

Get the shot off man!
In a game of slim pickings, have a fudgeen crack lads! Didn't see who it was, but pretty sure it was Kosta after that quick break.

Come on lads!

Rufer might not be a prolific goal scorer but he's prolific this season in "what could have been" moments...

And established again with that free kick.

I agree with you- but the ref has set a lower standard. Plus it is cynical from Marcelo.

Kind of perverse to say but I'm enjoying watching these two very good defensive units deal with each others attacks. It's not something we've seen a lot of in Nix games for a few seasons.

That is an absolute top drawer win! So often we've been on the receiving end in games like that but now it's the Nix that is coming up with the big brilliant moments to change a game. Well done lads!

You realise you are now duty bound to do the same thing for every Nix game from here on in? 90 minute mark: "Come on kids, off to bed!".

That Goran guy on Sky needs a lesson in professional humility. I'm no fan of Rudan but his post match sneering at him and calling him a loser is out of line in my opinion.

He’s a tosser and up himself. I don’t listen to his interviews. Think he may be one of the chaps on here

Was he the guy leading the Oli Sail thing? Someone from the club should have a word.
