being tackled hard from behind, well kind of tackled went through the back of me and then got the ball. end result my knee is now blown up like a balloon. happy days. our whole tournament was stuffed by injury, goalkeeper broke his collarbone in the first half of the first game, 2nd game one of the boys blew out a calf muscle, then my knee and we only had 14 in our squad, you really need about 18-20 players for a tournament when the players are getting on in age. the guys have to play tomorrow with 11 players.

According to Trump so ething happened in Sweden that not even the Swedes know about. More fake news. The more he opens his mouth, the more I am certain that the guy is just a populist show pony.

Players that whinge that NZF don't pay them enough. Seriously?

Football is not professional in NZ unless you are at ACFC or Wellington Phoenix. The national body has no money and players want more? Here is a tip Abby a bigger slice of zero = zero

I wonder what the match fees are that the All Whites get vs what the Football Ferns get though?

A really odd interview I thought. 

So players have had to make sacrifices (as they do in any other sport). 

The football Ferns have competed in and had far more games than the all whites have over recent years, and that has been a key factor for many of them going on to professional careers.

Rugby and Cricket would be the only two sports in NZ where National representatives make a living out of playing for their country.

 Yeah I think she is extremely misguided in her approach. I had heard through the grapevine that unless NZ qualify for Russia, the budgets will get slashed drastically and there is pressure on to find more money for Futsal and other departments at the moment as it is.

The womens program has high performance funding for quite a while and it was foreshadowed that they needed to perform at the Olympics after the WWC failure in 2015 to justify continued investment and they didn't. So they had it, didn't perform and got a chunk stripped. Thats fair. Its all very well saying you need more money and you will get better results but then that aregument applies to pretty much anything. I would not be arguing that the womens program is on the rise as justifiable grounds that they need more cash. I would argue it has plateaued and would not be surprised if it started declining.

You could make a case that sustained investment will see the womens program stay at the level it is at but we come back to the old connundrum that they were singing for their supper and were flat in their tune and the crumbs left at the NZF dinner bowl is simply that, crumbs

Was taking an enjoyable dump when the missus is out for a walk and the kids are in bed.

Halfway through snapping one off one of the kids starts crying. I am caught with the strides around my ankles and a brown trout awaiting release into the stream...

As for me, my problem is the opposite :( I'm first at math and good in economic. But I can't write essays probably I'm not a writer. Today I got C+ for my assignment and ruined me, I worked so hard last week! I put everything on it. And also, I must work to pay my student loan. Balancing between work and study. And no time for pleasure at all. For me, it’s awful. Almost every week I have to write 1 essay. To somehow cope with all homework, that's why I have to use this to find ideas for topics. But you know, cheating kills me. I know that having a college or higher education can also equip a person with better life skills and improves an individual's quality of life. But... That's hard.

I went through that a couple of years ago and raised quite a lot of money for a business, never again. If I go into business again it will be completely bootstrapped.

My opinion is that if people want comprohensive Business Plans and SWOT Analysis then they're either A) Useless beuracrats, or B) have no idea what they're doing. Seasoned investors want basic documentaiton, like a lean canvas, but they know that most of the numbers in there are completely made up and anything more comprohensive are not worth the paper that they're printed on.

The amount of discarded cigarette butts littering our streets, gutters, going into the waterways.  What is it with people who just throw them anywhere without a care.  Do they think the world is their rubbish bin?  We need to follow Singapores lead and get rid of this blight on our cities.

Settled for basic in the end after chatting with my business mentor. Just needed a simple plan in place with the option of some flexibility for the future.

Job application forms that ask you to submit your CV, but then fill out all the information from the CV into their online form as well. Waste of time.

i would add job applications in general. since being made redundant i have been filling in job applications left right and centre with not one reply. when i was a youngster a company would at least let you know if you did not get the job and maybe even let you know why they were not interested in you. i have wasted so much time filling online applications doing a cover letter for each position i apply for, i have been to a work broker which was a total waste of time and am now seeing someone similar from a different company. almost 3 months looking and applying with no luck at all. the job market in wanganui is pretty small for unskilled older folks so all you youngsters make sure you get your skills up while your young and listen at school.

I agree with the club, if he's done the time and is reformed then he should be offered a job. Not giving jobs to former criminals means they inevitably fall back into crime and it's a vicious cycle. Seven years of a 22 year sentence does seem pretty lenient though.

Yeah I think the problem there is with the justice system. 

It also says he's out of prison while an appeal takes place? Which if it means what I assume it means, then you have to say he's innocent until proven guilty.

Yeah I struggle with that though. I'd be far more willing to say he deserves a second chance if it has been a heat of the moment type crime and he'd shown remorse and so on. But it was a premeditated cold blooded murder and torture of the mother of his child and the motive was that he didn't want to pay child support, and despite the conviction he's never shown remorse. Ok you say innocent until proven guilty, but he has been proven guilty and that conviction still stands. As far as crimes go it's about as despicable as they come.

And there's the issue of the message it sends to other men who are violent towards women in a country with a massive issue with that - you can commit heinous acts of violence and still be a hero? Because that is how some fans will undoubtedly veiw him when he's playing again.

For background here's another article about it from a few days ago, before he found a club:
