Fiji should be disqualified or have to play it, their fault for having a Coup.

that idiot who posted criticising the kingz/knight fans should bugr off.  i'm getting sick of the negative coverage that these football pioneers have copped of late.  we don't know how lucky we have it down here; nice stadium, well run club, we're appreciated by management etc.  bloc 5 and the others had none of this and stood by the team in any case
 
There is a better spirit here than there was at the Kingz, and that is attributable to everyone from top to bottom. I'm sure that spirit would see us throught hard times.
 
We should respect the "pioneers" sure and acknowledge the Aukland experiments, but we are Wellington not Auckland, and a bit of inter-city ribbing is always going to happen, is good for football. Roll on the day when Auckland has a team again so we can have a derby and get really antagonistic
 
But you got to very much take your phoenix beanie off to Aucklanders who give their 

allegiance to the Wellington Phoenix and travel down to games.

See bagging Auckland is one thing, it's bagging those that stood by the shambles for 7 years that is the issue.

Call the Auckland public t**sers, and lazy and blame them for killing the Kingz and Knights.  But many  of the fans that stood by them (and many didn't live in Auckland) went beyond the cause to support one disaster after another.

You can't possibly blame FIFA for this. Fiji left it to the last minute to apply for visas and NZ turned one down. If you're Fiji, you are not going to want to play without your keeper are you? The fans may well be losing out, but it would have been hardly fair for Fiji to play on.
 
I'd be very surprised if FIFA had actually told Winston Peters that it would be okay. So far, I have not seen anyone but Peters make that claim.
 
If, as has been said elsewhere on this forum, NZ made an exception for the Fijian Sevens team then all else being equal, NZ are applying double standards.
 
 
 
I don't mean to be rude mate but Fijians need to apply well in advance for a Visa to come to NZ if they don' t play a version of Rugby or Netball.  Remember that the game in Auckland was only scheduled quite recently.
 
That's not rude at all. It seems your post is in agreement with mine, though I forgot to make the observation of the shorter notice for this fixture than others.

Except Peters is not Labour. He would have gone with National in a coalition just as quickly.
 
I hate coalition governments - you vote for party X and they are forced to bring in party Y (who you didn't vote for) to make the numbers work for a government.
