    Wasn't really watching, just had it on (sound off while Ferning) waiting for sailing replay, didn t realise it was

    1. The Phoenix
    2. Live

    Shame. The yellow team looked the more likely to score (although at times they seemed too keen to want to take a punt at the glory long rang shot).

    But I know less than nothing about soccer. Was just kinda pleased when I thought they'd equalised.

    @booboo It was an entertaining game shame about the shoddy defence..good old VAR ruined it IMO.

      In a recurring theme across all 3 aussie codes this weekend, the nix join the Breakers and the Warriors getting stiffed by the refs

        I've given up watching the Phoenix play. Firstly, they seem to always lose when I do, and always get shafted by the officials. I don't think they've had a VAR decision go in their favour this season.

          The Phoenix get a come from behind win against Adelaide. Sitirio earned and converted a penalty with literally the last play of the game. VAR looked at the first goal for ages, but this time found no "fault" with it

            @canefan And we got to see Hemed's model wife in the celebrations. 🙂

                The Phoenix still have to travel to Aust between these home games and again after the Auckland game. The A-League aren't going to make it too easy.

                    @bovidae I’m all honesty I would rather Hemed but unfortunately he wants to stay in Aus, Hooper when he was here didn’t seem interested hopefully with a pre-season under his belt he’ll be a lot fitter and gel a lot better.

                      'Uninterested' Hooper managed to average a goal or assist a game for the nix. He's probably a better player on paper but Hemed's form is pretty irresistible. If Devlin stays I'd be happy for them to keep both Hemed and Hooper, but if his rumoured departure is confirmed then we probably need a visa spot to replace him.

                      There are also rumours that we're negotiating with a potential Davila replacement. Talay has a fantastic recruitment record compared to most of our previous managers so I'm feeling optimistic that we can bring in someone good.

                        On paper to real life is a lot different, saying that I’m optimistic with a full pre season under his belt.
                        As for a Devlin Newcastle are throwing mega $$ at him to get him so I’d say he’s good as gone, Steinmenn is a free agent

                            Fifteen years since he joined the Phoenix but still only 32 so hopefully he still has a bit of mileage left in his legs in what will probably be his last professional contract.

                              I can never feel the same after he walked out on the Nix after a year on his two year contract. Waste of a wage as I doubt he came cheap as far as I’m concerned he’s not the same blockbusting players as he was 5 years ago be better off giving the likes of Van Hattum or Bidois a full time contract.

                                  @booboo Oskar van Hattum is Frank's nephew. He is a forward.

                                        Phoenix just beat Macarthur to go 5 points clear at the top of the A-League with 18 games played. Pretty awesome considering they were predicted wooden spooners at the beginning of the campaign.

                                          That was a gutsy win with 5 starters out.
