Well they unquestionably should’ve been down to 10 for 60 minutes of the game - so everything that happened after 11 v 11 is kind of irrelevant.

Mars Stadium opens in less than 25 minutes time, and she's ready. But boy it's gonna be a hot one in the Rat ... who'd have thought?

Why wasnt the gane played at the FFA Cup venue? Would have been nice to jam 5-6k in at a proper football venue.

Bloody good win mate. Looking very compossed, although wtf was ST thinking? Probably the easiest penalty decision of the year. Ufuk Talay certainly ticking all the right boxes.

Things developing nicely for the Nix. Impressed by Talay.
What's the latest on a new venue? Surely there's a business case for a 15k rectangular stadium in Wellington also designed for concerts.

I haven't read about anything, but I do agree. Current home ground just doesn't really do it.

Jesus what a strike by Inman. World class finish.
Wellington look awesome. The best side ive seen Adelaide play all season.
It does highlight how important good imports are - meanwhile Adelaide have two Europeans who have missed most of the season (the who is actually interchangable on a yearly basis - in this instance Boland and Ospeth and a Chinese guy who will likely never be good enough for the XI or the bench. So thats 60% of our imports missing. Makes a difference.

Dobras & Poulsen very disappointing for us so far considering their pedigree.

Hehehe, come on you 'Nix.
Hahaha, great save from Taylor, what are you talking about?
Very good! Loved every minute of it!

Once we're safe in the league, then I'd assume we'll start looking. But there's literally no space to build without NIMBYs complaining. Wellington doesn't have a rectangular stadium anywhere so they'd need to build on an existing soccer pitch.

Between rugby / football and concerts there should be a strong business case for it.
I do agree, however it would be tough to work it while westpac stadium is still seen as a viable venue for all forms. There are really only 3 sports that needs to be considered for the town (cricket, rugby and soccer). Once cricket nz decide/find enough money to expand the basin by 5k and the ability to redevelop/rebuild westpac (through a join partnership between the hurricanes and nix) it could occur, can see cap being closer to 20k due to rugby needs.

I gotta say Matt Millar, from Newcastle is seriously underrated, been their best player all year playing at right back (was arguably mariners best last year), I wonder if he'll get a call from overseas or a bigger club next year.

We will see a much better performance from Melbourne this afternoon. Not saying we will win, but under the Andy Warhol hipster French gaffer, very rarely have City put in two crap performances in a row this season (which is unprecedented in Heart/City history)
Very happy to settle for a draw, but you never know for sure

Fair red card given Griffiths got a yellow for passing the bloody ball

Good to see justice and fair play is still in usage under VAR. Melbourne are in the box seat now, this is so much more pleasing than last year's gash (long way to go though)

Honestly that penalty save by Glover was better than any goal you will see this year. The disappointed reaction by that Oompa Lumpa (Portly Sydney fan) they showed immediately after was most satisfying. Pretty good half of football, it has had everything
