CHAMPIONS OF
MIDDLE EARTH
*giggle*
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.
If it happens, I'm just going to turn my back.
Yellow Fever - Misery loves company

You're so shit our fans won't even watch?
why would we want the players to reinforce any physchological edge WSW think they might have by giving them an ego boost....
A small town in Europe........looking to bounce straight back up....well that aint going to happen
Why is this still a discussion point?

Who's Al Hilal's wife? And why does she have a coach?

People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.
Fucken beat them 3 - 0 then give them a guard of honour going off
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
Any reference to WSW's victory will be mis-interpreted whether it's from the Phoenix or the fans.
A guard of honour in Wellington? You're having a laugh! Let Sydney City be embarrassed by that tribute.
This ain't sport, this is tribal!
COYN!

"Small town near Asia, you're just a small town near Asia....." :-)
So at the end of the day, what is the general consensus about what we are going to do or not do?
Personally, I dont give a shit about them or their RBB, all I see is a reincarnation of the racial anc nasty issues that haunted the old NSL. Sure it is an achievement winning this cup but its not like the proper Champions League for quality sides...yet.
If the Cup is on display during the warm up, I'd enjoy a Vinnie Lia shot to knock it over, bit like when Stan Bowles did it to Sunderland after they won the FA cup in 1973. But that is just me.
The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

When we're leading them at half time the fever should scramble to either side of the tunnel for a guard of honour. Would be hilarious
From my point of view it shouldn't be acknowledged here at all in any form. We don't get a chance to play in it, so why should we care. Let them celebrate when they have their next home game.
FUCK OFF SLATER
Nicky Hager? Is that you?
Ramming liberal dribble down your throat since 2009
This forum needs less angst and more Kate Bush threads
I reckon the club might do it just to get into the FFA's good books since the club license hasn't been extended yet. I don't think it should be done though. It's basically saying "congratuations on winning a competition we aren't allowed to compete in".

Do you feel the same about the Champions League in Europe ... like why talk about it at all...
Socceroo/ Mariner / Whangarei
It's as relevant to the Phoenix as the Eurpoean Champions League.
I think you may have the wrong end of the stick. I don't think anyone begrudges them acknowledgement and a well done at all but to line up in a guard of honour, in our own stadium??!!?? Average Jo Public will wonder what the fuck is going on and why we are saluting the away team, our opponent.
Could you see Waitakere lining up in a guard of honour for ACFC or any other team lining up for them? Like fuck they would.
They won, acknowledge it, pat them on the back but thats all.
Grumpy old bastard alert
Yep. Do it after the game when we beat them.
If its at half time though there's a good chance it'll be on telly. Where as after the game Sky will just do their usually transmission cut halfway through Dewhurts final words before the players have even left the pitch.
Even better would be if one of their guys gets sent off..
That would be Brisbane.

I suppose I don't mind if they are announced to the crowd as Champions of Asia, but for our players to do a guard of honour is going too far. The ACL competition is basically a nothing to me - you couldn't even watch it on TV here.
If we had a friendly against the Saudi team, we wouldn't do it. Similarly we wouldn't if we played Real Madrid this week. It just seems to me that this has arisen because two commentators were having a laugh during the Victory game.

Fixed.

Definitely a steely edge to News' posts...someone need a hug?
News is 100% right on this.
The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!
You're a bunch of bitter bastards.
There's nothing wrong with acknowledging a great achievement for the league. It's called sportsmanship.
You're right that there's no particular reason to do it - but that's why it would show us to be a class above them other c*nts.

The difference is, we wear flairs, they light them.

The only time when SKY doesn't fuck up.

If we could play in the Oceania champions league or the Chatham cup would anyone in Aussie give us a guard of honour? And what's the point of guards of honour anyway, why cant we just shake their hands afterwards and say well done. The answer is its not about us, its an FFA wankfest and it demeans us to be a part of it
Normo's coming home
