Team Wellington... no longer an association with Ole. Chur

Thanks, so Luke Tongue wiil be the same then.

amateurs like Howieson and Paverley were getting that though

Were they between clubs in the same league though? So maybe a different rule?

Works this way if a player plays professionally and then drops down to an amateur league, they must have a 4 week stand down That's a FIFA rule and applies to Watson

If players move between clubs in the ISPS Handa premiership, the club the player leaves can insist on a 4 week stand down. Team Wellington did this last season with Cam Howieson when he went to Auckland

Luke Tounge wasn't on a pro contract so whether or not he has a 4 week stand down depends on the Phoenix

I understand clubs like Team Wellington and Auckland City enforcing the stand down as why give your opponents any advantage, would be a bit more surprised in the Weenix did it as they are about development and their season is effectively over anyway

That's why TeeDubs were able to instigate the stand down.

What’s the contract with amateur football?

It is applicable any time a player switches clubs.

4 Amateur Player Agreements

4.1 Clubs and Players may enter into an Amateur Player Agreement in a form approved by NZF. Amateur Player Agreements are mandatory for National League Competitions.

4.2 Players must be given a copy of any Amateur Player Agreement that they have signed by the relevant Club within five working days of it being signed by the Club and the Player.

4.3 Where entering into an Amateur Player Agreement is mandatory, a copy of the Amateur Player Agreement must be lodged with NZF or the relevant Regional Association by the relevant Club no later than five working days after the Player’s first appearance for that Club, or as prescribed by the Competition regulations. Any such Amateur Player Agreements must be held securely, unopened and in confidence by NZF or the relevant Regional Association and will only be opened if a dispute is lodged with NZF or the relevant Regional Association in relation to the relevant Amateur Player Agreement.

All I can find in refs - suspect each club writes its own 

And he has signed with Team Wellington

?? PLAYER SIGNING ➡️ What a way to start the day! You heard it here first...we’re excited to welcome Hamish Watson to the #teedubs family. It’s great to have more kiwi talent, from Wellington, in our squad. #ISPSHandaPrem pic.twitter.com/2VJ4Blrov8

How does the news of Jose being 17s coach affect TW?

He was told he was not going to be needed due to new recruits (Watson) and with his move to Tauranga he contacted ACFC about joining them. Def no “tap up” from ACFC. I would have thought given the fact that TW asked every club in the comp for 20k each so they could compete in the O-League they would have let the guy play out of good will. I guess a win at all costs approach is what TW management are taking. As for Cam, his Mrs didn’t enjoy Welli and wanted to move to Auckland so he asked ACFC to join them and TW slapped him with the stand down also. For the record ACFC have never slapped any exiting player with a stand down nor claimed remuneration from Pro clubs that have taken their players. Like Krishna or Riera as they don’t believe in holding up any players development.

Heard of Cole moving to Tauranga we’ll before Xmas. Cam came to TW to try and break into the Nix if I recall correctly.  I would think both would have signed their contracts after reading them ( the clause must be in it ) The contract is to help stability of players from season start to finish.  Both have made a choice for their own reasons.

Correct on both points but TW have a choice to waiver the clause in the spirit of the game but chooses to inforce and in the same time gone hat in hand to the other clubs to dung thief OFC costs. Seems a bit harsh and unneasasary. 

It's still a competitive league, why would they want to strengthen their only real competition?

Tasman 1 - TeeDubs 4 

Oh JOY.

4.35PM SUNDAY 4 FEBRUARY 2017
AUCKLAND CITY V TEAM WELLINGTON
KIWITEA STREET, AUCKLAND, NZ



Where did I leave that stab proof vest. Hmmmm

big game....good luck TW

Does anyone know if 4Kingz will show the game this arvo?

I'd be very surprised if they didn't have it on. Believe some are going to weeNix game at Davey F, then going to Kings to watch the game. 

Awesome will try and get down thereally family commitments permitting

0-0 huh? I watched the first half, pretty dull! Assume the second was the same?

Second a bit of a scrappy bore

Not a bad game to watch from the sideline.
In line to see the offside for both goals. Thou someone tried to tell me the first goal should of been allowed.

Looked in to travelling up for that game as had both Sunday and Monday off work. But flights were such that I could only afford to get the overnight bus back, and that left too early for me to be able to catch it after the game. 

Will make it to kiwitea one day. 

I hope Devlin got his knitting done while sitting in the stands.

Who the the foreigners in the TW squad. They need to pick 3 of Diane, Molloy, Jackson, Barcia, Allen plus Kayara who is the plus 1.

Does Jackson have nz passport yet? Barcia?

Jackson got his NZ passport around christmas time

How badly broken is Jackson though?  He hasn't been seen for quite a while.

3+1 or 4+1?

3+1 for Oceania

so it'll be molloy barcia and allen + kayara

These Lads are in the Deep South today.

It's rainy, not too cold though. Team Welly smell like butts and are gonna lose. lose so bad. Byeeee

Where’s your head man Ha Ha

I suspect Team Welly will be too strong for Southern, but you never really know with this Southern team.
