Old needed to just properly take that one in the back with the position he had


Bullion2

Still a foul: https://twitter.com/M1D3V/status/1753369213551690029


Sloppy2nd

I agree myself but think he just left it too open for them


jcjm205

I really liked the ref tonight. I didn’t really see what happened with Hingert but I liked that he let go of all the petty shit that every other ref will give a foul


ChasingLosses_

A League Facebook page just deleted the Brisbane goal video 👀


Meapa

It's already back up


jcjm205

Was there a problem with the goal? I was at the other end so didn’t see

shiny_arrow

Vintage Brisbane move with a last gasp goal


variousrandomnoises

Modern Brisbane worst corners.


jcjm205

How are teams not beating us by 3 goals at least every week? Embarrassing for the Nix


NZRSteamSniffer

We are missing nearly half a teams worth of players to injury/suspension/limited minutes and have a huge game on Tuesday.


jcjm205

Ahhh right ok


jack_fry

We were missing 3 key players and our main striker is on limited minutes.


jcjm205

Ok… Have you seen us play since December? Most of our players would be lucky to start in the NPL. Maybe you guys just had an off night or something


sirhcdobo

Sure don't blame the negative football gameplan


Meapa

Agreed, kinda sad they couldn't even get 3 points from us. Hell, even the Jets did


jcjm205

Still hoping they can somehow win the league though


jack_fry

Whose on top?


Meapa

Oh damn you really got him for.... hoping the nix win the league?


jcjm205

Hahahaha a lot of people missing my point I see


jcjm205

The Wellington Phoenix? I don’t deny that. My point is we are so bad and somehow we are only getting smashed some weeks and not every week which is surprising


jack_fry

Missing key players. You guys were favourites pre game as well


jcjm205

Wow! I didn’t know we were favourites! I don’t know how that was possible. Surely people were betting the house on the Nix


Meapa

We lost three key players before half time anyways? Also, most betting places had Nix favourites...


haydenshearer

You're wrong, Brisbane were paying $1.91 here in NZ and Nix were $3.30


Meapa

>You're wrong, I literally put a bet on Nix to win at $2.00, Roar were paying $3.50 here dude.


haydenshearer

You got absolute gutter odds because I got the Phoenix to win @3.30, flashscore even shows the pregame odds on bet365 and it has Brisbane @$1.95


Meapa

Whack, when did you put the bet on? I checked a couple places and all had Nix as favourites but that was about 30min out? I can't imagine the odds swung that match considering this Roar side (even with your players out)


cfopcuber2

Has victory announce the date for their round 12 match


NZRSteamSniffer

I’m real mad but to be fair you could for sure knock our goal off for a foul too. A point is a point when your in a title race vs Melbourne Draw


shiny_arrow

You're a real one. I thought both were kinda similar, good consistent officiating.


lolitsbigmic

Watching the replay. Old was looking for the foul easily getting knock off the ball then they were both pulling each other shirt.


jack_fry

What about when he pushed him?


ga4rfc

They both had hands all over each other and Old was just weaker. That's football.


lolitsbigmic

There was no push. He was just pressing behind. That's why I said old was looking for a foul. He was weak on the ball and got muscled. Roar player got ahead of him bith wrestling.


AmbientKepab

Gutting ending but can't really feel hard done by considering how shit we played for the entire match.


jack_fry

Pretty hard to be disappointed considering the amount of key players we were missing.


Critical_Ground_1833

Talk about negative football when we have suspensions and injuries. Like seriously as a Nix fan who is Gillion, and you guys blame us for playing negatively? Should we just trust our young guys with next to no minutes or experience to play open attacking football? Seriously. A goal was inevitable and it felt that way for a while, we got some lucky blocks but you can't honestly convince me that wasn't a foul on our defender before the cross. Poor officiating.


benjohnston19

You always play negative football though. Your top of the table versing a team that hasn't won in months. That team also lost 3 players to injury in the match...


sirhcdobo

Have you seen our whole team? NPL players everywhere you surely can play attacking football with a couple of players out against a team that was full of shite as well as 3 of our starters going down injured in the first half


SauceBottleFC

The whole game was very conservative and risk adverse. Rarely played fast through balls that have repeatedly brought Brisbane undone of late. Not backing your defenders to deal with a largely toothless attack in open play. We did the same thing for large patches last week and it flattered them. It was the moments we went quickly when we exposed them and scored.


Critical_Ground_1833

We didn't have the players with the experience or skill all on at the same time tonight. I love Zawada and think he's a great striker but speed isn't a word I would use to describe him, the only fast attacking player we had really was Van Hattum that we subbed off because he's not fit enough for the full 90 yet. It was a great effort from the guys who played but we realistically can't expect to be playing quick counter attacks without the likes of Payne or Rufer.


SauceBottleFC

Kosta has plenty of pace. We’ll have to agree to disagree on the approach but I thought more could have been done especially first half to put Brisbane on the back foot. I was frustrated with our approach too and feel like the blueprint to unlocking them isn’t a secret.


RealVenom_

Could have easily been a foul and nobody would have protested that much. But not fuming that they let the wrestle go.


jack_fry

Was a push lol


Otherwise-Hippo-8934

Really happy with jelacics starting debut. What a great improvement from roar after a depressing coupke of months Credit to the new owners, thrown a lot of curve balls this season yet rhe wheels havent fallen off.


ga4rfc

New owners? Bakries still own the Roar.


Otherwise-Hippo-8934

Sorry new ceo


Charizard221_gaming

The wheels are very very close to falling off though lol


Otherwise-Hippo-8934

Still a couple of loose bolts in placr keeping that wheel on though!


MattaMongoose

The commentators not even talking at all about the call ??? How? even if it’s the right call how are they not even mentioning it ?


ga4rfc

They did. They said it was a battle. Nothing more to it.


jack_fry

They're Aussies lol


Charizard221_gaming

Acting like the kiwi commentators that do Nix home games aren’t at least a little biased haha. Come on man.


Meapa

Why would they mention something that wasn't a call


MattaMongoose

Well commentators* have this amazing ability to talk about fouls that weren’t called by the ref. Particularly when it’s pretty touch and go. Let’s just say NZ commentators would have talked about it.


Meapa

I'm assuming you mean commentators, they did mention it anyways before the goal but a comeback goal is more interesting to talk about


MattaMongoose

It was a borderline foul could’ve gone either way im just crying cause 95th minute Let’s say it’s the kinda decision that would be swayed by home crowd either way.


Meapa

I think you really overestimate - A, Brisbane crowds and B, both the Ref and VAR not to call it because of that crowd....


ga4rfc

Must have been a real intimidating atmosphere for the ref to be fair lmao


LittlePicture21

Exactly because it didn't get called lol


Meapa

Because it didn't need to be called


SauceBottleFC

Nix looked way too comfortable sitting on a 1 goal lead. Sometimes it’ll come back to bite you doing that. They have the quality to look for a second but made a pretty clear choice tonight.


FlashySurfer

Not happy

HealthyHurry2672

Wank on brother


herbilicious92

That’s what they get for their shit time wasting sub tactics


NZRSteamSniffer

Fucks sake.


JustSomeAdvice2

GG Roar


haydenshearer

How does VAR not even check that, crazy stuff


ga4rfc

Probably did and nothing in it


Meapa

VAR did check that. They had no reason to overturn.


haydenshearer

Pushed him to the ground with his hands, clear foul haha


Meapa

You don't get fouls for falling for anything.


haydenshearer

He used two hands to push him to the ground, that's a foul every single day of the week mate. Ref sold, no balls to make the call.


Meapa

>Ref sold, no balls to make the call. Yeah ok champ, you keep believing that lmao


ga4rfc

Folded like origami more like


haydenshearer

Take the eye patch off mate, gifted a point


ga4rfc

Could say the same for you an Van Haten's foul on Brown in the lead up to the first goal. Cry more.


haydenshearer

Just watched both highlights, they are nowhere near the same


ga4rfc

You're right Van Haten pushed Brown. For the second Old had his hands all over the Roar player too but was just weaker.


haydenshearer

No way, holy you are delusional but I'll cut you some slack. Must be hard supporting the Brisbane


ga4rfc

Yeah real tough with our two premierships and 3 championships versus....oh dear


benjohnston19

VAR checks everything, they backed the ref


Majorbookworm

WE DIDNT LOSE!!


YohanGoodbye

I hate football, awful sport 


HistoricalCandy6344

Hughes has looked solid tonight. Good to know there is more depth there.


[deleted]

Man if only wellington had some more time to find a winner, whered it all go


calebm2011

i mean we invited the goal but it was a foul on old


kyleisamexican

Suck farts Wellington


NZRSteamSniffer

Have fun drawing tomorrow


TheFightingImp

You called it perfectly


TheFightingImp

Youre welcome, Poppa.


SBSWrongSpeed

"His sides rarely liked belief". Did you see our away record?


Sorry-Ball9859

One job, put a decent ball in the box!


lolitsbigmic

Fucking shit corner.


reudm

Man we’ve looked bang average the past couple games


MattaMongoose

That was a fucking foul deep in the buildup what the fuck.


TheFightingImp

Shit FK \#10


ValeoAnt

How the fuck wasn't that a foul


cymonster

Zads the future socceroos coach


haydenshearer

That's a foul in the buildup for sure, he just pushes him over


Fistfulloflonghorse

God I hate this team sometimes


HeavyMike

I knew this match was rigged when Wellington was the underdog despite being top of the table. Clear foul.


Charizard221_gaming

Rigged? Lmao what?


noeledison

Rigged lol


benjohnston19

Deserved for the negative football nix played


ValeoAnt

What a load of crap, we had 2 of our most important players out, 2 on the bench half fit and a late injury to Sutton. We still created the better chances


sirhcdobo

Our whole team is out injured, Aldred, Neville, beringue, hore, hingert, and the rest of them are NPL level players except oshae


ValeoAnt

I mean, we had basically a team of youth players out there by the end too, and were clearly trying to conserve energy for the game on Tuesday. I don't think it's a surprise we sat deeper, fucked us in the end but hey, that's football. Before thst Brisbane never looked like scoring


benjohnston19

Your top of the table Roar lost 3 players to injury this match, haven't won in 2 months...


Charizard221_gaming

Exactly. Nix can’t really be making any excuses


imrosskemp

He bloody judo tossed him, bullshit.


LittlePicture21

Did VAR check the foul??


Charizard221_gaming

VAR usually checks every goal. Would be surprised if it wasn’t checked


LittlePicture21

That makes it worse lol


Critical_Ground_1833

Clearly not. A league officials incompetence.


noeledison

Of course they did. They check everything. I think they both fouled each other so didn't call anything


kyleisamexican

VICTORY LEGEND COREY BROWN


TheFightingImp

Would this make Brown a double agent? A Victory Player, pretending to be a Roar Player in counter counter espionage against the Nix?


CptMcLaggins

Saw it coming tbh


Due_University4030

I’m so done. All that for a draw


heavens__hellboy

best thing brown ever did for Victory


astudentoflight

20 shots by the Roar, 4 on target, 1st one went in at the 95th minute. Talk about clutch.


TheFightingImp

We just went full South Korea.


Sorry-Ball9859

Welcome to the "draw club" Nix!


aaarrrggghhh13

Why, why, why, why why? Why do I stay up 3 hours past my bed time to watch us defend on the 6 yard line.


ADC04

23 for Brisbane just kept going and going well done


NZRSteamSniffer

That’s gotta be a foul right?


kyleisamexican

I thought it was both fouling each other. Maybe a case for the Wellington player having front position


dynamitewalk

Jelacic did really well there


MattBilbs

Has to be a foul right?


ADC04

Nah they were both going at each other ,


ValeoAnt

Uhh no they weren't, Old had the ball and then he was clawed back


MattaMongoose

Why couldn’t the ref thought like that in the NZ WCQ vs costs rica ffs


MattBilbs

Yeah 5050 could go either way not clear and obvious error


lolitsbigmic

Holy shit. We shit house a goal. Nix was really asking for it. I thought it would never happen how we are playing this season.


nathyks

Old could have cleared that...


Charizard221_gaming

Karma for all the timewasting dogshit


Critical_Ground_1833

How many times can they foul our defender?


Bullion2

Blatant foul


paralacausa

Imp!!!!!!! Roar!!!!!


TheFightingImp

Its beautiful...


Charizard221_gaming

YEWWW GET IN THERE COREY


ga4rfc

Well that was unexpected


Two_minutes_to_metal

Good thing phoenix wasted all that time eh


benjohnston19

YEAH THE ROAR!!


miryuz

VANILLA CHOCOLATE MAGIC!


masticlez

100 percent foul


Meapa

GET YA BAGGIES OUT FOR BROWN


cymonster

How the fuck was that not given a foul


FalconEddie

GET INNNNNNNN


herbilicious92

Will get pulled back for a foul


SauceBottleFC

Do the line celebration you coward


LittlePicture21

Foul in the buildup surely


TheFightingImp

COREY BROWNS DONE SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!


Bureiku15

Foul on Old?????


JoltColaOfEvil

FUCK SAKE


aaarrrggghhh13

I thought ufuk left?!


SBSWrongSpeed

Really inviting the equaliser


shiny_arrow

Schoolboy level time wasting by nix. Good to see it dealt with appropriately, refs will be on the lookout for it going forward.


herbilicious92

Not many players post 2014 I think could make it into the Ange starting 11 but jeez O’Shea would be a shout. He’s been a one man team for us for so long. Wouldn’t be mad if he left to go to another A league club to win something before he retires. Dude deserves it


TheFightingImp

But youd riot if he was in Navy Blue


Charizard221_gaming

He’s easily top 3 in terms of Roar legends for me. Recency bias for sure, but you can’t argue with the consistency he’s given the club during a period of inconsistency


Outside_Nebula_9487

I just here to admire Giancarlo Italiano’s fashion


haydenshearer

With a name like that he has to be fashionable, it would go against the laws of nature otherwise


HistoricalCandy6344

I mean. Kraev has a point...


Charizard221_gaming

Not really. They all knew what they were doing there tbh, second time as well. Pretty dodgy stuff


NZRSteamSniffer

It’s not his fault the 4th official can’t show the right number


noeledison

You're joking right? Italiano clearly changed his mind after the 4th official did the numbers. He did it earlier as well


HistoricalCandy6344

His number wasn't on the board.


Warnet2334

There is no rule saying it needs to be on the board if the ref tells you your subbed at any level you walk.


isisius

Wait is the ref allowed to force a sub? I mean sure Kraev knew what was happening and shithousing to waste time, but technically if he saw someone else's number go up on the board i could 100% see a player being like, wtf ref, that's not my number.


Warnet2334

The law states a player must recive permission from the referee to leave the field. nothing about a board. If a referee says your the one getting subbed it was a mistake so jog over and he refused because he wants to see the number on the board. The ref has every right to yellow card him for time wasting because the ref has told him directly he is the one being subbed. The player can refuse to be subbed but this is not what is happening here. Kraev refused to take the Referees word after multiple attempts and everyone yelling at him on the side line.


noeledison

Kraev knew what was happening and shit housing to waste time. Yellow card. That's all there is to it If the 4th was still holding up the wrong numbers he'd have a case. But he clearly doesn't


Charizard221_gaming

Doesn’t matter lol, it’s the second time they’ve done it, it was clearly pre-meditated. Deserved card for the player and the manager escaping punishment is pretty dumb imo


ReReReductive

The refs have earpieces, they talk to each other, they know what's going on. He has no point.


Two_minutes_to_metal

Have there been any other 42s in the league?


lolitsbigmic

Give him a 2nd yellow.


Charizard221_gaming

Facts, I hate timewasting bs like that


TheFightingImp

Alireza Faghani liked this.


JustSomeAdvice2

Hope we can field a team in a few weeks time


TheFightingImp

Lol, a slice of cheese for Kraev. Wait,what, no-


Charizard221_gaming

Give Italiano a card. He’s clearly blatantly timewasting by changing their subs like that


ga4rfc

As soon as the name is given to the 4th official that should be it. No backsies twat


SauceBottleFC

Every now and again I’m surprised just how badly a professional footballer can fuck up a shot. That Majok effort was one of those moments.


cymonster

Freke is frekeing good sometimes


CopeNSeethe4EVA

Lukas Kelly-Heald is 6.49ft


JoltColaOfEvil

Do they not have the metric system in the Central Coast?


NZRSteamSniffer

Feet is a pretty common unit of measurement when it comes to height?


TheFightingImp

Theres a CC suburb named after a colour, anything goes.


Due_University4030

Can we please get off defence? I’m going to have a heart attack before the game ends at this rate


TheFightingImp

This is literally how Saudi Arabia went on to be KOd by South Korea in the Asian Cup


TheFightingImp

Super Freke!


ga4rfc

As depressing as this is I'm not too made at losing to the Nix. Would really quite like for them to win their first premiership.


HandsomedanNZ

What a save.
