Like I said it's easy to point the finger and make the connection you guys have made - for me it's disapointing that for guys who know so much about football that your not prepared to give everyone involved the benefit of the doubt.
People in general are untrustworthy. Giving people the benefit of the doubt can either leave you looking rather naive or in certain situations even open to exploitation.
No one at NZF deserves the benefit of the doubt given how shambolic the organization is run.
