Rd 5: Mariners V Phoenix

[midfielder]

Friday night 7:30 kick off ... not sure if they have player suspended or what but they are a very hard nut to crack on their home turf...

Given it must be a 5:30 kick off local time I guess many people in offices in the city may wander down to the match...

Hopefully we are at full strength and Musty is fit ... I was a tad worried tho I saw him limping after the match on Saturday...

I hope I am correct in saying that Phoenix are losing their grip on creating a fortress on their home turf. Sigmund is definitely out. I am predicting a win for us.

 

[dibo]

another win and we're back in the game, good and proper.

Unless the other teams can start knocking Brisbane off, the realistic goal for everyone (i.e. not Brisbane) is probably to make the finals now. Kickoff 5:30 AEDT is pretty farkin annoying!

yep....should never have Phoenix at home on a Friday night because of teh time difference. Just because it's 7:30pm for them...it's 5:30pm for us...and would be 3:30pm if they were playing Perth. At least if the games are played on a weekend, the Aussie football fans are likely to not be at work or on the way home from work. Strange scheduling by FFA/Fox (or have I completely misread the start time?)

I am sure its 7:30 for us and 5:30 for them... my understanding is the ROF (Nix home ground) is not too far from the Wellington CBD ... maybe the plan is too see if they can get a lot of office workers to wander down after work as a start for their Friday night out...

NZ is 2 hours ahead of us.

 

[midfielder]

7:30 kick off in NZ ... so I guess 9:30 being shown in Australia....

Lol, this is why they have UTC, should keep everything in Zulu, makes it much easier

 

[dibo]

I dunno, the occasional Midfielder epic fail is kinda fun for the rest of us.

Sorry midfielder, I know you mean well mate, but this is true...

Arnie said in a news article today that Hutch has been left at home due to only getting back yesterday.

 

[shipwreck]

Sweet, same team as Sunday then, no Pelle and no Porter kkthnx

 

[true believer]

they have real problems up front without iffil. they should have been up 3 zip against swiss cheese kewell united.
hopefully no dodd moments for us and another bernie/simon brace

 

[marinermick]

Same squad and at this stage same starting eleven.

Porter travelling reserve for squad.

Splashing some cash eh?

 

[timmers]

It seems weird being matchday and no line-ups posted, but I guess it would be a huge surprise to see any change to last week's starting XI. Only question is whether Porter gets a bench spot or not. I don't really mind who gets that last spot out of him and Pelle.

I wouldn't mind seeing Hearfield getting a good run if the opportunity arises, he has impressed me with his little cameos so far this year.

Just keen to see

- McBreen carry on from last week
- Midfield diamond to 'click' (especially Olly and the Glinch)
- 3 points
