3-0 loss to What's-A-Young-Heart-Anywaaaaay? up in Palmy this afternoon. Team Wellington were reduced to 10 men after about five minutes when someone lobbed the ball at one of the Young Hearters in retaliation for something. This sparked a game-long card-fest with the ref dishing out at least a dozen or so of the f**kers before the 90 minutes were up. He had a Fonzie haircut too, which didn't endear him to much.
Manawatu lead 2-0 at half-time, and despite a decent enough comeback from Wellington in the second 45, they couldn't capitalise on the handful of opportunities they had, and conceded another goal with about 15 minutes left.
The early red certainly cast a pall over proceedings, but you can't deny the fact that Manawatu played well, particularly in the first half. Fell asleep a bit in the second, but by then Ref Fonzie had taken the game by the scruff of the neck.
Good crowd, round about 300 or so, if I had to guess. Had to laugh at the drongos wearing Young Heart Manawatu season passes, given that all Young Heart home games are free.
I guess your definition is slightly different to mine. Stupidity by Gulley and got what it deserved. Stu Jacobs will be disappointed at the undisiplined display from his side in that first 30 minutes.
TW were without Brockie but didn't really show much at all on attack apart from a stunning shot against the post in the first half. On that display it's going to be a long season for you guys.
