Agree, the Miramar game was good value and end to end at times, but Western springs had the majority of control and bar the header at the end, didn't look in too much danger against 10 men.
I heard from someone who was close by the comment towards the lad sent off was deplorable. IMO The David Brent of NZ football. A shame really as Springs played well.
Olympic certainly look in the driving seat. Looking at the Auckland City game highlights, it looked like Christchurch gave it away.
All to play for...LT01
Well interesting weekend so far. Olympic just keep on keeping on. CU blowing a great chance to beat Auckland City. First win for Auck Utd against a very disappointing Coastal team in this national league.
Went to Miramar vs Springs. Frantic game from the start, both teams scored early including a cracking diving header from Owen Smith. Nico Bobadilla saw a second yellow by the 26th minute and got sent off, ribbing got out of control on the way out from the Springs bench and coaches who he had to walk past... Scotty Hales with a seriously classless remark to him which I won't repeat and shouldn't have been said in front of kids for sure.
Anyway, Miramar actually competed well for rest of the first half and didn't look like they were playing with 10. But Springs took over in the second half and controlled the game more, goal didn't come until the 67th but was well deserved. Poor giveaway from Miramar but cracking finish across goal from Caspar McGavin. Miramar didn't create a lot again until perhaps the last ten minutes but had some very good chances... Springs keeper Connolly making a couple of huge saves. His counterpart Oliver in the Miramar goal had some goodies earlier in the game tbf. Anyways, Springs deserved the win and now move into the "favourites" group with Olympic.

Hales' carry on was pathetic and always has been. Tries to be everyone's mate, then yelling and screaming two secs later. I've been to few games in the past where he was exactly the same.
