All Good stuff. Get in touch with TVNZ they love this sort of sh*t 

So can you enter this competition or is it closed already?

Feverish is (I think) a competitor short, PM him.

[QUOTE=scoop]All Good stuff. Get in touch with TVNZ they love this sort of sh* Absolutely itll get way more coverage than the TW  ACFC game for a starter...

Graeson missed his flight. Anyone got a private jet at their disposal? THis could be expensive..

How long is the walk from 4 Kings to the Wellington station, anyone know?

Max should know.

I've never done it sober.

some pretty good pics there

Who is this "Frank van somethingorother" person?

On the radio now with Willie Lose.

Willie: "What is this homeless world cup thing anyway?"

Frank: "Well, the accommodation is cheap"...

wtf?

Edit: This Frank has a role with NZF right?? He just said that basically nothing can be done about the Ireland vs. France debacle. That you just have to carry on. Would this have been the attitude of NZF had Bahrain pinched a goal in the same fashion to draw level on Saturday night?ahmad2009-11-21 15:38:49

Frank Van Hattum - NZF Chairman

I really hope those replies to Willie's questions are not a reflection of how NZF is run or else Ricky will be quite disappointed when it comes to his thoughts on how the FIFA money will be spent.

its a good point ahmad. I know that Street Football Aotearoa, the agency which promotes and coordinates Street Football ('Homeless') programmes in NZL tolerate a certain amount of ignorance since prejudice can run deep and its better that people are talking about an issue than ignoring it.

However there has to be apoint where the ignorance stops, and since NZF are nominally supporters of  the SFA, and since FIFA has identified the Homeless World Cup as an important grass roots programme then it should start now and it should start at the top.

You are quite right that we should be worried if this is the level of vision displayed by our top level, who are about to inherit a large wad of cash to invest in NZ football. Programmes like Street Soccer are important in the , not only for the social impact they have, but for the integration into NZ society of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers who would otherwise not have access to recreation. The very people who will some day be the future face of the 'All Whites'

I hope it was a flippant remark by Frank, but since FVH said at the One Shot For Glory press conferenc ethat Norm Hewitt was the coach of the NZL Homeless World Cup team, when in fact he is an ambassador i beleive that more educastion at that level is needed.

(Don't feel i have made my point very well, ill let it rest a bit til i have cooled down and look again-seems to me like an opportunity wasted to talk up some good work by NZF on national radio)

His spot with Willie was 3-4pm today, available on NewstalkZB or Radio Sport "week on demand". Would be happy for someone to listen, judge for themselves, and put me in my place.

Yes the comment might have been flippant but it's a bloody disgrace IMO.

On the significance of the All Whites Qualification to South Africa, did he make any statements about how expensive the ramped up accommodation would be for our superstars in South Africa?

What the hell does the price of accommodation have to do with the question "what is the Homeless World Cup?".

I know that I used to wonder what "Homeless World Cup" was (as I didn't actually think for a moment there were homeless people in NZ - now I know I'm wrong), so perhaps Willie was asking about it as he (like me once before) didn't understand the concept?

So a really offensive comment by Frank IMO.

I thought it was one off until he displayed no sympathy whatsoever to Ireland for the Henry controversy - implying that in the same position NZ would not have protested to FIFA about a Bahrain handball leading to a goal (isn't that the job of a Football Assocation??).

And then he talked about their appeal to FIFA about Glen Moss's suspension!! Double standard much??

What is this guy on???ahmad2009-11-21 20:42:45
