No, he served that 1 match ban vs Perth.
BOOOOOOO
coochiee Ball is on 7 yellows, hopefully we win this match so we don't have to risk him vs City.

This hasn’t gone to plan 😕

Well no, Sydney have to win both their remaining games - VUC (H) & Roar (A) - even if Nix lose both games. I'd give that 4 game scenario only a 20% chance of happening. VUC especially will be chasing a win in Sydney.
Mainland FC
is that early enough?
great shot from Sutton, but Ball again with the composure to set it up.
Is Rudan still suspended?

David Ball is expected to slot back into the starting XI after he was rested for their defeat to Melbourne Victory, with Ben Old likely to drop to the bench, but Rufer, Lewis, Callan Elliot, Jaushua Sotirio, and Josh Laws all remain unavailable due to injury.

I'm in Palmy for work at the moment but don't fancy the long drive back all the way to Gisborne after dark tomorrow, especially when there's a Nix game on let alone the dubious east coast roads. Gonna stop the night in Napier. Might be a tall ask but is anyone perhaps local in the know of any pub/bar in Napier around the West quay/Ahuriri area that would show the game?
BOOOOOOO

Western drew with Jets so if City beat Perth tonight which they should they'll win the title so then hopefully will rest players against us.
Perth certainly choosing a fine time to find some form... bastards!

I think it's pretty simple really - beat WSW or lose out on finals. I don't think we'll beat City.
Sotirio is a big loss tbh

Keep it tight, A defender to score from a corner. Cmon you Nixxx
3 points fire up farken
So does that make Fenton...4th choice RB?
I like the emphasis on attack in that lineup with the back three, Waine and Sutton as wing-backs and just the one defensive midfielder in Pennington accompanying the creative linchpin Sandoval, with a front line of Piscopo, Ball and Old.
I'm feeling tension and excitement coming on in equal measure.
Nix to win 3-1
1-1 mid-way through the second half, then the boys turn on the style....

cant see Waine playing wingback, reckon he and old will swap.
Payne at RB. i reckon
4-2-2-2
4-2-2-2
4-3-3 surely….
According to the nix admin on intsa, Waine IS at rwb. Bonkers.
Sotirio a couple of weeks ago and if I'm not mistaken OVH played the last 5 at RB against victory
May as well put my had up for a run at RB next week

Score first and score early, dammit.
FIRE the FUDGE UP!!!!!
ooooooo the word corrector misses caps....

ohhhh what a goal from Sutts! and the setup play as well was rediculous!!
how did Ball see the run of Sutts?? amazing
That is a lovely little pass from Old there to pick up Ball's run.
Some start that! Get the fark in Sutton lad 🔥
and then they go the other end and somehow we dont concede....
Looks like plenty of goals in this one.
im still confused about Waine playing as a WB.
Long time for Pennington to play on a yellow. Going to be lots of physical defending required between now and the final whistle.
hope the instruction isnt to sit on a 1-0 lead.
Definitely a perfectly timed run - LOL
off by a metre but "it's close" according to McBreen and co.
Good goal to be fair.
