It's a must win game.

So you all know how this will pan out.

0-0 draw??

[Jetmaster]

Plague is right....we have a history of not winning must wins.

[StannyCFCJET]

Plague is right....we have a history of not winning must wins.

Or just not winning

[plague]

Plague is right.

Jetmaster is right.

[plague]

my bookie just informed me that Wellington to win or draw is paying $1.91.

kids, go get your free money.

im off on holidays tomorrow, might just load up and pay for the trip tonight.

[Jeterpool]

So who is risking Dimi tonight, given his back issue, with the ACL ahead on Tuesday?

[MFKS]

So who is risking Dimi tonight, given his back issue, with the ACL ahead on Tuesday?

**** the ACL

Our season rests on tonights game

If he can play then there is no way on Griffs great earth he is sitting it out

[StannyCFCJET]

So who is risking Dimi tonight, given his back issue, with the ACL ahead on Tuesday?

Merrick. And sadly we can't rely on Vargas turning up so Dimi has to play

[Bon]

Our season rests on tonights game

I'm afraid this is correct..
No win tonight, then its just about definitely no semis..

[Frodo]

Merrick. And sadly we can't rely on Vargas turning up so Dimi has to play

Yeah, our equal second highest goal scorer is woeful but our other equal 2nd highest goal scorer is indispensable??

[StannyCFCJET]

Yeah, our equal second highest goal scorer is woeful but our other equal 2nd highest goal scorer is indispensable??

I never said Hoff is indispensable

[Frodo]

I never said Hoff is indispensable

What about Sheppard?

[StannyCFCJET]

What about Sheppard?

He is on current form

[MFKS]

And Dimi starts


Bert the wise old dog pulling the fake injury for his gun player stunt

[The Dunster]

Wellington have a little too much flair up front for us to cope.

Big concerns about Boogs marking up like he can match them for pace.

[The Dunster]

Nix are absolutely killing us all over the park. Simply too good for us so far.

The fact we are on level terms score wise is a miracle.

[Hunter403]

****, this ref is having a lend

[Hunter403]

Get Ridenton off. Clueless
