  • Taranaki Triple Against Wellington

    mack

    By mack

    A brace by Brendon Santalab along with goal to Nico Martinez has seen off the Wellington Phoenix 3-1 in a match featuring trademark A-League poor officiating.

     

    Despite starting the game in 8th position, the 3-1 victory sees the Wanderers leapfrog Perth, Newcastle and the vanquished Phoenix to move up into 5th place. Western Sydney should have opened the scoring very early in the match, as the visitors peppered the Wellington goal, hitting the post, then Glen Moss on the rebound, with Santalab's headed finish being ruled out incorrectly for offside.

     

    The Wanderers did not let the disappointment of the poor call keep them down, Santalab getting his name on the scoresheet officially in the 22nd minute after a through ball from Martinez let Santalab take a first time strike that beat Moss at the far post.

     

    Wellington came out in the second half and dominated the play for 10 minutes, only to get hit against the run of play with the brilliance of Terry Antonis unlocking their defence. Antonis played through Santalab and the goal scorer turned provider as he neatly played a pass across the Wellington penalty area for the run of Nico, who couldn't miss from 6 yards out.

     

    Santalab capped off his magnificent performance by picking up his brace in the 64th minute. Antonis took advantage of poor defending from the Phoenix, he strode along the byline before finding Santalab with the cutback. Santalab positively smashed the ball home.

     

    Wellington received another slice of fortune from the referees to pull a goal back, with Baccus judged to have deliberately handled the ball. Shane Smeltz stepped up, scored the goal, then a few minutes later was walking off the pitch having picked up a second yellow card for a soft tackle on the Wanderers goal line.

     

    The next game for the Wanderers is against the lowly Central Coast Mariners, with the final Sydney Derby of the regular season looming large the Red & Black will want to put together back to back performances before facing the unbeaten Sydney FC.

    This is how it works:

     

    The team that comes first plays the lowest ranked winner from the first week.

    The team that comes second plays the highest ranked winner from the first week.

     

    If we come 4th or 5th, the only way to avoid the smurfs in the semi (assuming they come first of course) is if we win and the 6th team beats 3rd, making us the highest ranked winner from the first week.

     

    Basically, it works like this:

    Come 3rd and win - play 2nd

    Come 6th and win - play 1st

    Come 4th or 5th and win - play 1st if 3rd wins, play 2nd if 6th wins.

    I don't remember them ever showing any Wanderer fans.

    They only mention or show the opposition when absolutely necessary.

    Damn, could potentially be a first Sydney derby final.

     

    Imagine knocking them out after three years in a final lmao.

     

    Will never happen but a beautiful thought.

    I can't wait that long or deal with smurfs going on about undefeated. Plus should they do that and not win GF you know they will revise their view on the relative importance of the top of the table and the GF

     

    Their winning streak needs to stop at ANZ next week

    Super glad I made the trip for this match!  :meep:

     

    Also super happy if my attendance even remotely helps the Nux #metrics. 

     

    Extremely happy to see Santa with the Captaincy, and just as happy to see Cornthwaite with the Captaincy. 

     

    Oh yeah, the win was good too.  :woah:

     

     

     

    Thought it was bizarre (how bizarre, how bizarre) that their screen showed different footage, to the TV coverage?  

    Is that a common thing that happens, or is it a NZ thing?

    I've done a little research and they installed a new screen in 2014. It's likely the screen has the ability to take a live feed from the various cameras, and the director for the stadium screen picks and chooses, while the broadcast is done as per normal with a OB truck that is then sent out to the television networks.

    Look. I'm no professional lip reader, but I'm pretty sure he's saying "Sure. What kind of beer? And do you want the whiskey with coke, or just on the rocks? Also, I'm going to get a pizza. Do you want anything from the bistro?"

     

     

    I'm like 98% sure that's what he's saying

      Its the coach, the football played last night and against Jordan was atrocious, Toure should have been hooked at half time and be replaced by either of the Kuol boys.

      Both goals were on Russell to be fair to him he's not a Left Back. That's all on Rudan

      Marko Rudan Discussion & Sackwatch

      By mack · Posted

      Pep Guardiola: "I'm going to defend you until the last day of our lives in the press". Rudan: Runs onto the field at full-time to berate an attacker for a goal coughed up by the two fullbacks being lazy, then slates him in a post-game interview and the press conference.  Sure, he apologised for "singling him out", did he apologise for singling out the wrong player to start with? The Mariners & Nix finished 5th & 6th in 21/22 when Rudan took over. Rudan's second year we finished 4th then lost to the smurfs in Round 1 while the Mariners won the Grand Final. 3rd year, CCM are the favourites for the Premiership, the Nix have a chance if CCM drop points, and we're back in 6th with a game tomorrow against a team who beat us 7-0 earlier in the season that if we lose we're out of the finals spots, and even if we made it, we're probably just going to lose to Victory in Week 1. I'm so over this ****. Rudan has had three years and done **** all to improve things, he's not done well enough to add all this pointless drama and bullshit.
