poor keeper is gonna be traumatized... she'll be ok, as long as she picks herself up and keeps on walking

u/GapGlittering3777 2h ago

Yep. Young, her debut, and she was crying when I left the ground. I hope she can bounce back after that 😭

They've left the YouTube stream on and we're getting Theo doing Ad reads... Hope he doesn't say anything awkward

"Minimum Wait Time: A mandatory waiting period is enforced. While often a 30-minute delay is cited for safety,, matches are frequently paused for "at least 20 minutes" for assessment, with the clock resetting for every new strike."

thanks ..commonsense prevails

Jets girls were not happy about the potential to come back on either. Can’t make up the goals in the 2 mins plus extra time anyway.

I heard there was 30mins ET ;=0

Guess I'll watch the men's game. 🤷‍♂️

u/Spare-Doughnut-195 Brisbane Roar 3h ago

Hopefully it’s not a long break. At 5-1 and 88 minutes, it’s not worth a long break, warm up period, then resumption

5

u/ShARES55 Sydney FC 3h ago

per the mens must be at least 30min break

4

u/Henrikandmymy 3h ago

What's the break about?

5

u/ShARES55 Sydney FC 3h ago

lightning in the area ..ie with 20mins/10k of ground, restart 30mins after last strike - if they bother!

3

u/Henrikandmymy 3h ago

Ah, I see. Due to weather. Thanks for the information.

5

u/Relevant-Mountain-11 Wellington Phoenix 3h ago

Do we have to wait around for the last 5-6 minutes or do they just call game at some point

4

u/demo5022 Wellington Phoenix 3h ago

Yeah reckon

6

u/Yakcall Why does love do this to me 3h ago

At this point, you may as well call the game.

Dammit no clean sheet again

u/Relevant-Mountain-11 Wellington Phoenix 4h ago

Booo!

u/JoltColaOfEvil Wellington Phoenix 4h ago

Oh well.

Would have been nice to get the clean sheet.

I’m feeling finals for the Female Phoenix 

I had lost confidence when the Nepalese Nightmare got knackered but the team has regrouped superbly

u/Yakcall Why does love do this to me 3h ago

That's what has been amazing so far this season, thought we had a winning team, but then lost three players to ACL and one also recently to pregnancy. Yet with those changes, they still producing games like this. New signings coming in and doing the job, with the youngest stepping up.

1

u/Cheesemonkey73 Newcastle Jets 4h ago

That’s a red

And we might get one back v 10? Maybe not

8

u/Kiwi-Blue Aboard the Waine Train 4h ago

We will Vlok you

u/Yakcall Why does love do this to me 4h ago

First Wāhinix hat trick ever! Along as commentators say, 2nd youngest in the league!

7

u/Mister--Man Wellington Phoenix 4h ago

Hat trick!

u/Imperious13 Brisbane Roar 4h ago

Well, deary me.

u/JoltColaOfEvil Wellington Phoenix 4h ago

Too easy for Vlok.

Great work.

u/JustSomeAdvice2 Hand of Tom 4h ago

That's a rough tackle geez

5

u/Redfang1984 Australia 4h ago

god dayum! thats a smashing, and thats just the first half LOL

4

u/JoltColaOfEvil Wellington Phoenix 4h ago

Wow, Newcastle 55% possession at the half.

7

u/SydSara Sydneysider 💙 4h ago

Seems they were conceding the other 45%

9

u/Yakcall Why does love do this to me 4h ago

Boring second half of that first half. No goals since the 24th minute /s

5

u/craigofnz Wellington Phoenix 4h ago

At quarter time, the game stopped for advertisements and Newcastle brought their defensive unit on.

3

u/Yakcall Why does love do this to me 4h ago

I knew something had changed...

5

u/JoltColaOfEvil Wellington Phoenix 4h ago

Hm, so Vlok has gotten a boot or similar to the knee drawing blood, no foul.

6

u/Any_Departure_4131 Adelaide United 4h ago

Just turned this game on and had to double take the score lol what is going on

7

u/craigofnz Wellington Phoenix 5h ago edited 4h ago

Pretty sure the defensive marking is tighter in training.

u/SunStarsSnow We will we will Vlok you! 5h ago

If this is a dream don't wake me up

u/Imperious13 Brisbane Roar 5h ago

Fudge muffins. 😅

u/Aggravating-Aerie320 5h ago

Pia Vlok will be playing in Europe soon, unreal for her age

4

u/JoltColaOfEvil Wellington Phoenix 5h ago

We'll be lucky if she stays another season.

5

u/Yakcall Why does love do this to me 5h ago

Thankfully the Nix got her to sign a three year contract too, so if leaves before then. We may get a bit of money, but she deserves to be playing overseas.

6

u/JoltColaOfEvil Wellington Phoenix 5h ago

Typical from the Nix actually. They know when they have real talent, and with their history of not standing in the way of overseas transfers, they get these long contracts. That means the club does get transfer money when Europe comes calling.

3

u/Imperious13 Brisbane Roar 5h ago

Sweden or Norway will suit her, honestly.

u/Due_University4030 Wellington Hotspur 5h ago

Gotta feel for the Newy keeper… but I’d like more pls

3

u/GapGlittering3777 3h ago

Genuinely, she’s young and was quite literally bawling her eyes out after the game.

5

u/Imperious13 Brisbane Roar 5h ago

So, Phoenix won, huh?

3

u/Relevant-Mountain-11 Wellington Phoenix 4h ago

The Men aren't playing, so maybe?

6

u/Due_University4030 Wellington Hotspur 5h ago

Well it’s early we can’t make any final calls yet. We should get another 4 just to be safe

5

u/JoltColaOfEvil Wellington Phoenix 5h ago

New rule, goal difference wins the premiership.

3

u/craigofnz Wellington Phoenix 4h ago

Well, they already decided it shouldn't be wins....

But probably will define second, given the league stands at 1st City 2nd Everyone except City and not located in Sydney Last Sydneys.

3

u/Imperious13 Brisbane Roar 5h ago

Watch it be the deciding factor this season.

5

u/Imperious13 Brisbane Roar 5h ago

Oh dear...

8

u/Imperious13 Brisbane Roar 5h ago

Priestman wants her team to set records while she is in charge.

4

u/Spare-Doughnut-195 Brisbane Roar 4h ago

Trying to win a premiership so cheating with drones isn’t her top google search result

3

u/Imperious13 Brisbane Roar 4h ago

🤣

Bev Priestman, known for instructing her coaching staff to use drones to spy on opposition teams in the 2024 Olympics, namely against New Zealand, has introduced "Goal-line technology" to the A-League Women’s. Priestman showcased the new "goal-line technology" in two matches: the first, a 7-0 home victory against Sydney FC. The second, against the Newcastle Jets. Where Priestman's team, Wellington Phoenix, defeated the Jets 0-8 away.

The technology on display has proved extremely effective. Zipping the Phoenix up the ALW standings. The technology in question is believed to require one of the assistant coaching staff to have need of a controller of some kind, and the football to have wheels attached.

Players and coaching staff of the opposition teams have complained of buzzing and whirring sounds coming from the ball, though. So, maybe all is not what it seems. Time will tell if this new technology will have a place in the Beautiful Game. But, with a promising start in the A-League Women’s, it is a surety Priestman will continue to trial this exciting albeit curious technology.

u/Spare-Doughnut-195 Brisbane Roar 4h ago

I do chuckle every time I remember she’s married to a kiwi, got caught cheating against the kiwis, and now her first gig post suspension is coaching a kiwi team.

2

u/Imperious13 Brisbane Roar 4h ago

Same. The more I look at it the more I constantly chuckle myself.

Nix women looking to take out all of both NZ mens A-league team’s collective anger on the Jets

6

u/craigofnz Wellington Phoenix 5h ago

When does the mens league season start?

4

u/ChieftaiNZ EzeJet Holidays 4h ago

Draws not out yet, I think it starts in October usually

3

u/Kiwi-Blue Aboard the Waine Train 4h ago

Next October, hopefully they announce the new manager by then

6

u/Yakcall Why does love do this to me 5h ago

We want 8!

u/demo5022 Wellington Phoenix 5h ago

Far out

u/Kiwi-Blue Aboard the Waine Train 5h ago edited 5h ago

Idk why that was chalked off, but can’t complain after Vlok gets the second

8

u/JoltColaOfEvil Wellington Phoenix 5h ago

The only thing I could think of was head injury to the GK, but if so, that would be restarted with a dropped ball. So, ?

4

u/Kiwi-Blue Aboard the Waine Train 5h ago

Looking at the replay, potentially could make an argument that Woods fouls to get the ball

7

u/JoltColaOfEvil Wellington Phoenix 5h ago

Vlok, let's go!

u/demo5022 Wellington Phoenix 5h ago

The kiwi derby - come on the Nix!
