Rough day out for Northern, felt like anything that could've gone wrong just did. Red card, missed pen, conceded a starting lineups worth of goals, just a mess. Nelson away is gonna be interesting next year...

Oh yeah we have Cashmere next week, yay!

That's a rough result for Northern, hopefully just a one off. Looks like Coastal Spirit have signed a Fijian international, Aporosa Yada.

Any word on when Cashmere vs Wanaka has been postponed to?

There's a free weekend on August 15/16 that has been set aside for the Chatham Cup semi-finals - if Tech lose to Miramar in their QF next weekend it likely gets put there. If they progress to the SF you probably have to do some re-jigging with the draw, shift a weekend game between Tech and another Chch team to midweek and put the Wanaka game on the weekend.

Bays, clinical and professional in a very good performance. Box seat now for National League spot.
Coastal, absolute rubbish. Not one player stands out, how they're in 3rd position is astounding!

Yes, Bays certainly created more in the attacking third and took their chances. 
The result was Bays biggest winning margin in the SL while also being Coastal's heaviest lost, creating a 12-goal gap in goal difference in Bays favour.
If both Suburbs and Nomads win today, they will only be a point behind Coastal so will be a tight race for third spot.

Will Wanaka actually get relegated? I know North and Central have ceased relegation but what about South?

The word on the street is Coastal supporter/s purposely turning off the lights at Ferrymead last night during HT.. Pretty low act if you're resorting to that when you've been blown off the pitch

Forgot to say this yesterday, but Cashmere are honestly nice to watch if you can ignore them demolishing your own team. Well organised, flowed through defences naturally, clinical finishing and over all pretty high quality respective to the league. There was one moment where Garbhan (I think) recieved a long pass and controlled it perfectly with his chest, which was class. Could only stay for the first half since I had a game at 2:45, but it was still good football while I was there.

All things considered I'll absolutely take that. After conceding 16 to Nelson back to back, a 3-0 to Cashmere isn't bad all things considered. A few came down from Christchurch which was nice to see, seemed like nice folk

What a ridiculous post, why even take the time to write that. The council has control over the lights. Fake news mate

Dude, a ridiculous post is being that stupid that you believe the council control these lights.. 
They're actually controlled through individual  electrical boxes that are worked through local grids! The only way for them to "turn off" without a local cut is manually. Thus is exactly what occurred as multiple people saw this occur.
Maybe before taking the time to post a ridiculous response, actually look into it first. Otherwise you come across as a moron

Get a life mate and actually talk about football. Were the lights turned off? No. Stinks of club bias rather than genuine reporting

What part of "the lights were turned off" from both posts do you not understand?
Do you have the reading comprehension of a 2 year old?
No bias whatsoever, im affiliated with completely  different clubs and it comes from trusted sources! Just believe that's a low blow and purposely turning off lights to save your butt because you have been garabage for 45mins is worthy of reporting! Sure it wasn't you?.....

I don’t even live in Christchurch mate. I have spoken to the Coastal supporters who I know well, also trusted sources… Anyway doesn’t matter. Bays are clearly the better side three points deserved

Whatever the cause, the lights were certainly out for Coastal on the park. 

Coastal have now lost to Bays three times, on the 'road', along with a draw and a win, scoring 6 and conceding 14.

These are Coastal worst stats against any side away from Tane Norton Park.

I'm not an expert on the rules but if Coastal supporters really did this I feel like it should be reported and investigated. I mean interfering with the lights has to break some sort of rule, right?

Looking at that points table l99ks like the lights have been switched off at numerous clubs since pre season. Joke of a league

Bit harsh but more than likely a comment from a couch analyst who's never played at any semi decent level...

And Coochie ... that pretty much sums up the standard of the league ... defence/goalkeeping skills are clearly optional
