You'd say this is the biggest regular season match for the Nix in recent years.

Supposedly we've had the strongest amount of presale tickets sold for this match already for the season, so the Cake Tin should be pumping. Hopefully a positive result follows

I seen your proposed 13k boutique stadium. Looks the goods and just what you need.

Sky is too big and the wrong shape.

Uhh, was this the Petone proposal? Or Jerry Collins Stadium? Or something else?

There hasn't been anything mentioned about a new stadium since the late 2010s, haha.

Yeah, it would have been very nice, but the NIMBYs didn't like it.
Also, 2014 haha.

The leaders have already said nothing is in the works, we haemorrhaged money when we were in the 'Gong so it'll be quite a while.

Zidane is pretty slow on the uptake.

Had no idea it was from back then, it was posted on another forum that I post on which discusses the need for boutique staidumsi. Let's hope the project is resurrected in the future so the "Nix get the stadium they deserve.

WOW this is an horrific tackle

 

[Zidane98]

Decent crowd at the cake tun.

 

[Munga]

WOW this is an horrific tackle

Always amazes me how many players are complete douchebags by surrounding the ref to plead innocence. If I were a ref I'd be dishing out yellows to anyone so clearly incorrectly pleading innocence.

 

[tigs2010]

WOW this is an horrific tackle

The way he reacted he was just unlucky that the guy was in the way and that he made contact.

Anyone else having issues with our favourite normal alternate method?

Has the cessation of KeepUp meant the end of youtube streams to international audiences?

 

[Zidane98]

That's a red surely !

 

[Andonis1997]

That's a red surely !

Yep, didn't think it was staying a yellow for long.

Such a horrible first touch, and so unnecessary to lunge in.

 

[Zidane98]

Outrageous VAR review.

APL hates us.

 

[Andonis1997]

Oh s**t.

 

[giggler99]

Geria was the one kicked lol

 

[Andonis1997]

This is going Row Z.

Huh?
It's a harsh pen, but Van Hattum did get the ball

 

[Zidane98]

How on earth can you award a penalty when the player sliced the ball off balance and fell over.

He moved in the opposite direction to the ball FFS.

Can not possibly be clear and obvious. Just 100% bullshit in every way.

he was rewarded for being clumsy

Not a chance it should have gone to a VAR review. Van Hattum sliced it and was falling over.

Never seen a VAR review like that in my history of watching football with VAR. The most not clear & obvious VAR review ever in the history of A League.
