I toned it down this time. Count your blessings.

Rain will pass shortly looking at the radar.

...still considering now concerned traffic is a clusterf**k.

Was keen but have a meeting at 6.30. Might try get out there for the youth league semi

Completely forgot... probably too late now.

Know of anyone there? Im stuck at work tonight so had to miss it.

t dub three down

Booo...

4-1

4-2 final

One nil at the half to the Olympic side although the Team Wellington invitation side (Phoenix Reserves) were the better side.  After the Phoenix side lost Pavs, Daniel, Paston, Smith, Mystery Asian player at the half.  Tsatallios and Griffith carried on.

Funny , looked to me and Jr that Lucas scored the first for the TW All STars.Oh well , must be blind. 

You could have been right.  I didn't see who it was but those with me thought it was Hicks.

Big weekend ahead! No injuries for TW? Going to be a great game

Catch a #2 bus and enjoy the BBQ, drinks and some great football. See you there!!!!!!

Great game yesterday. Gutted with the result though Waitak have a couple of wingers with amazing pace but didn't offer much else I thought. How good is Eager?!

Ha love it!^^^ Was also quite impressed with Luke Rowe. Based on yesterdays performance, I hope no-one mentions Roy Krishna playing for the Phoenix

I'm starting to think Dakota Lucas could play in the A-League. Hard News2011-12-12 17:38:35

The return of a former to Df park Sunday do the bus, enjoy the day.

What ever you are smoking, can I have some too?

Well last Sunday he played against Peverley and Clapham who are touted as being A-League quality by many and he was clearly better than both of them.

Then on Tuesday he scored two against a side packed with Phoenix players and triallists for the Olympic side.

Then again on Sunday he terrorised a Waitakere backline with three ex New Zealand reps in it and was better than Krishna who is also touted by many as A-League quality.

i was a sceotic but it's been one hell of a week. If only we had a youth side for him to try and prove it in.

My other realisation for the day was that a youth/reserve side in the ASB Premiership isn't the ideal solution. I suspect the NYL would be the only league where you could reasonably get a grasp of how players stand. Where they are up against A-League players.

Yeah but Krishna and Clapham are not A League quality.

Sorry you are advocating putting the ressies in the NYL comp to see how the fed youth go against the Phoenix reserves?

Aus NYL...

Lucas has a far better eye for goal than Pav. Just saying.

Peverely and clapham looked about southern league standard vs otago united both were nothing short of minging, both blamed there teammates for their own poor touches and lack of vision

has Lucas learnt to pass then?

Matty C should give Ricky a ring to alert him. I really like the Aussie too. Do you think the other young defenders will make it back into the starting line up? Musa and BRanch? Tyler2011-12-13 09:11:40

I've yet to be impresed by Holmes but maybe I'm mising something. 

The defence question is interesting as Eager is pretty key in midfield and for me Musa, Schaeffers and Branch all offer about the same at centre back so you could play any of them there.

Wiremu offers slightly more than Cheriton IMO so maybe Matty C could leave Eager at the  back and bring Wiremu into midfield? Good problem to have I suppose with an overflow of good players
