Cheers. Hopefully the stream holds steady - most streams are very, very jittery...

So it kicks off at...what, 5:30 local time?

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Oh look, Mariners doing stupid tackles and Matty Simon whinging, that's unusual.....

Glad to see Ibni start

Man I HATE the NZ commentators. Muscat clearly dives, "looked like he slipped" ggrrr

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Lol, get real. That wasn't a dive, it was pretty clear that his foot got caught. I think the commentator was saying it was our player who slipped into the tackle.

Looks to me like our midfield isn't linking up with our strikers too well, a problem that seems to be plaguing us. Just nothing being created.

Looks a bit like we're crowding each other up front. Matty Simon's doing well so far though, after a slow start to the season.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Magic touch from Ibini! Somebody check his boots for superglue!

Too bad he had no support - the shot wasn't really on but he had no choice but to take it.

 

[Nik Mrdjas Disco Bikkie]

Got his foot caught on air

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

That just happened to be full of a CCM hand ;-)

Turning into a close game really...

COME OOONNNNN YOU......uhh......blue?

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

I reckon Durante's got this referee figured out - playing the old 'best friend' game, and he's falling for it

OH! Sniper! Somebody make sure Daniel's alright, STAT!

flapping dirty cheat.

Somebody tell McBreen that you're supposed to actually hit the damn ball

 

[Bex]

Must be the most biased commentators ever

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Can't see how you've come to that conclusion, they're being pretty neutral. Mixing up the compliments and criticisms to both teams.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Man, Durante never strops trying to curry favour with the referee, does he? always an arm on the shoulder with a beaming smile...Is he a used car salesman in his day job?

Pedj having an off day

 

[timmers]

I've watched Wellington games be commentated with a far more biased approach than this one.

Wishing it wasn't so windy, makes the skills terrible!

 

[Bex]

An example; "mariners have too much height in the backs". You would only say that if you're going for Pheonix would you not? As a Mariners fan Its not too much height.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

When the comment is made in relation to another cross being headed away I think it was simply an observation, as it was clearly made in the context of there being too much height for the phoenix attack.
