Take a break ...are you at Kiwitea Tomorrow ....?
Do you mean Saturday? The answer's no, anyway, although I'll be following on Twitter and/or the radio.
Btw, not picking specifically on ACFC with that comment about Trillion (for a change) just a handy example to highlight the seemingly random way money sloshes around the game here, without any grand plan or prioritisation.
Lower Hutt AFC have a bigger P&L than NZF so they should probably look after their selected players
Well, yeah, maybe.
I guess Smithy would probably say it's the principle at stake here and that's got nothing to do with where individual players get their money or even how much money they've got. Which is fair enough.
Regardless though, I reckon if the parents want to kick-off about this but it then turns out that some of these players get paid to play for their clubs (and who knows how legit that is on a case by case basis) then that's just a fucking embarrassing look for all involved and makes the sport look like what it is... a bit of a mess.
