    Wellington Phoenix coach Ufuk Talay wants to avoid talking about the rub of the green

    Wellington Phoenix coach Ufuk Talay wants to avoid talking about the rub of the green


    The 'Nix have picked up their first point of the A-League football season, after drawing 1-all at Melbourne Victory, with their lone goal a penalty kick for handball, that was overturned by the video assistant referee.

    It comes a week after they conceded a controversial penalty in the loss to Melbourne City.

    Talay doesn't think it was any form of justice.
