WPM Semi Final Leg 2 vs Melbourne Victory | Sat 18th May | 6:30pm | RoF | March @ 5:30pm

So good to see the ring of fire sold out and the YF in full voice on TV. 

So so different to the fanless games in Australia not that long ago.

I want ball off and zawada on  -as soon as the ball goes through ball everything becomes static.

Ball's wasted a few good chances in their box with poor passes.

Farkin Mexican waves

A tight half of football as expected. Its all a bit nerve wracking, we need to get a couple of early 2nd half goals so I can just enjoy the occasion

Thankfully I've not heard any chat about McArthur today although Piney is doing his best to give us the commentator kiss of death.

We have 3 shots on goal to Vuc's 0?

The tables have turned!

don't mean shark. Rather only one shot at goal that goes in the net then 30 on target with nothing to show for it.

There were a few "that's worth 10 grand" when the bro from the vuc got carded, where I'm seated. Kinda cool the casuals getting amongst it!

God,I hate these bright flashing adverts they ruin the spectacle.  They are triggering.

Seeing the replay of that foul on Kosta in the box makes my blood boil.

Promising the wife a hot date night watching Paul Ifill highlights, so she can understand who he is.

Whats the vibe, team? I've never not sat with the yellow fever before but was a bit slow off the mark making plans to get to the game. Is it all good to whip the shirt off if we're leading with 10 mins to go or isn't hat Fever section exclusive? 

I do want to go full send should the occasion arise but very mindful there are lots of parents with their kids seated around me.

Let’s smash this home boys! 

COME ON PHOENIX!

I'll be shirts off in the snow here in Blighty if we're in the driving seat with 10 to go. 

Be a trend setter in that part of the Ring of Fire!

My opinion (as a mother with 2 kids), is that it’s fine to go full hype outside of the fever zone. As long as you’re not swearing loudly or doing anything weirdly antisocial. Singing/yelling and jumping with joy while shirtless is ok imo. Come on Phoenix!!

Harder to miss then score there agghhhh.

Oh man I thought that was in. Holey moley

Ah thought that was in!

Thought that was the moment

It was great work from Old yet again.

Half a Pint

Thought that was the moment

 Hopefully it wasn’t

Maybe I'm seeing things but for me Ball is having a very good game.

Our build up is so slow from the back. Vic know this which is why we've struggled against them as they sit back. Blitzkrieg football required.

What’s the atmos like at the game? Not quite as loud as I was expecting on the telly. Could just be that it’s tense and everyone is nervy. Maybe the effects mic isn’t in the right spot for maximum sound.

Will they score from a corner?

Will they score from a corner?

 lol. A corner for us is basically a goal kick for the other team. Why is VAR fudgeing about when this is a clear corner but didn't give a shark about a clear penalty earlier?

Might be a little harsh if given 

Surely that's not a penalty...

Might be a little harsh if given 

That would be an understatement.

Maybe give for the clear pen earlier 

Harsh.

What? That’s not a pen. 

Haha this is so Shaun Evans! Kosta hauled down as he's about to shoot: no pen, handball off the chest: pen. What a joke.

I’ll take it.

So not a penalty. Feel for Victory fans.

Why are they taking forever over what a blind man could see is not a penalty when they didn't even look at Kosta getting dragged in the box? 

WHAT THE FUCK NEVER A PENALTY

Nobody can know what the rules are.

Weak call

Hmmmmmm... a bit soft imo 

They’re saying arm is in an unnatural position at the start.
