it's  not only liverpool shirts you have to look out for i have heard that the glasgow rangers fan club nz are turning up to see fergusson the coach of north queensland even organised to meet him and his players.a bit sad for people to come to a game to see the coach of an away team when they do not go to the football any other time.
 
What a sad bunch.

, exactly.
J.C & FFS, when we have a full stadium every game, maybe then fans can get precious.
Until then, who cares if they come to even  watch the grass grow, its still a bum on a seat and its up to Ricki and the crew to get thier bum off it.

Only one thing needs to be said "come on Phoenix" - Robbie who?

110%
Don't think anyone is in a position to be precious.
Anyone coming for the first time is a conversion opportunity.
No more draws please. Lets get a win and get them back.
 
This may be the first time I have ever agreed with Auskiwi, well said that man!

+

2 wins >4 draws

we need to be winning

i can't think of what team was playing... But there was a game in Wellington a while back and there was a famous Dutch player coaching the other team. And people came just to see the coach. Let people do what they want... just more people paying.. which means more money for our team..

Yep. Maybe not the whole story but he knows he's a bit special.
 
Make no mistake, we are all Phoenix fans, especially now Marco's in the team - he gives the kids something else to cheer about 'cos they know him. Robbie is just another drawcard that should be made the most of. Who wouldn't want to see one of the game's greats in action?

I have to admit I have a bad feeling about this guy.
 
I remember Celtic got a centre half from China, he played 45 minutes for them against a 1st division team, looked like he'd never played football in his life before, and was never seen again after being taken off at half time!

You had a bad feeling about Chen because Celtic had a bad experience with a chinese player.

I had a chuckle at that too. At one point a floating cross came over that he managed to screw wide off his ankle from about 3 yards out. His expression started  and finished .

Do you have the same feeling about Berto? Because besides that free kick stunner, he wasn't scoring anything in the 6 yards box or the penalty box either but you would have him in the starting lineup.

I say that it would be timing/tempo linking issue with the teammates. He did well enough in the pre-season game with the Nix didn't he? So already thats better than that Chinese fellow that trial for Celtic in a preseason game. Also, the step up is a learning experience when you are surrounded by quality teammates in another football style to lift the game up to just get into the rhythm. Always tough for any young player.AllWhitebelievr2009-09-18 21:06:39

If he didn't get a deflection the keeper would have stopped it too.
The management have seen Chen play so I presume he's good enough. If not he won't get on I hope. On saying that, it hasn't stopped some other dreadful players getting game time before being found out.

It just stupid that people makes huge assumptions and thinks that the coaching staff are totally inept.

Also, do people have problems with Chinese players on the whole in this country or what? Or is it because of Leilei G** behaviour with the club. Previously we were all happy for Leilei G** to join after what he did for the NZKnights but things just didn't work out for him and us.

Heck get over it.

Lets just wait and see what this Chen guy can and cannot do - then we can judge him....

If he is a youth representative for China, then I'd say he has potential.

I actually have a really good feeling. Think he might come on with 15 to go and score a brace. I think he could even outshine greenacre. Now that would be nice.

I'm more importantly interested in Caceres. If he does a Diego then I'm gonna be so annoyed

Yeah, we need a Caceres type player in the middle - hopefully he does well !

I`m hopeing that Caceres is the missing link that can provide the spark to unleash Ifill and Greenacre, it would be great to see these 2 start banging in goals!
wouldn`t it be nice if we were a couple of goals up with 20 mins to go on sunday, so we could give our bench players a fair crack,

It wasn't aimed at you, it was basically the general absurd observation of what some of the people has said in the forum since Chen was under our radar. Chen is a youth player as much as Roja and Costas with plenty of potential and already people have decided his fate without seeing him. That is plain wrong.

The message is clear from Wellington Phoenix captain Andrew Durante: "No one cares unless you are winning."

On the flip side, many want to see players and rate them highly also without seeing them
