I'm biased, but thought TW were very lucky to win that. Both teams chances but I thought Tasman were far more fluid in the front third. Keiran Smith and Brian Kaltack were both outstanding and not a bad debut for Britton in goal.
Looking forward to a replay of the Barcia/Ifill challenge, plenty of people thought a red was harsh for Barcia.
Ridsdale certainly wasn't happy about the penalty either but I missed what happened.

I couldn’t believe it wasn’t Ifill who got sent off for that challenge.
The penalty seemed a soft one to give away, but the referee had no choice really.

There weren't too many protests about the pen so I assume it was right

I think the second Ifill left his feet, anything that happens after that is irrelevant (to a point) as he should’ve been sent off for that. Maybe he should have sent both of them off, that would’ve been something!

I was just behind the officials when they discussed it, basically they said Ifill went in recklessly but had his studs down, while Barcia went in studs up which is what made the difference between Yellow and Red.

Interesting. I saw Ifill go in studs up. Very keen to see a replay now - too bad I won’t be able to (thanks NZF/Sky).
Ridsdale certainly wasn't happy about the penalty either but I missed what happened.
Kaltak kicked Molloy.
It's not in focus, and just after the kick, but you get the idea.

Also thought Ridsdale and Perico were fantastic on either side of the defense. Got forward well and created chances. Both Fenton and Stevens were poor which says something about their defending as well

Perico lucky not to have had a couple of yellows both of which were right in front of the officials and ignored.

Yees, How many defenders do they need??? Think strikers should be more of a priority !!!!
Should both teams finish on the same points total (likely) overall goal difference irrelevant if they get a result at ACFC or don't lose as badly as ACFC did at Davey F.

Is he a gk? I thought we were pretty sorted in that department?
Also, does the transfer market ever close in the Handa Prem? Feels like most teams are still actively recruiting players.
2-1 loss to Waitak. Seems a surprise given the angst about Waitak on the other thread

Guess they rate him over Marcel Kampman, the NYL player who has been RGK until now.
They had signed Carr months ago - he must have been unavailable until now.
You're allowed to sign players at any time until you have 23 registered.
What makes the transfer period in January special is that it's the only time you can deregister anyone, so if you have guys in your 23 who are injured/have left you can't replace them outside of then.

Per NZF it's been Kampman for all seven games.
Could it just be prep for OFC C/L - 3 keepers ** out field players (IIRC)

Carr just wasn't available for the first seven or so weeks of the season, so they've used their NYL goalie on the bench.
They've waited until the guys were in town and available, even if already signed, to announce them publicly. Why, beats me.

There is a transfer window (pretty sure opens again in January), so maybe they still have (had) gaps in their squad / roster.
Kampman is OK, but is liable to brain fades and does silly things, was sent off twice for Lower Hutt in the last Central League season (possibly deserves it for wearing the number 91 on his back!)

J-H Sinclair excellent for TeeDubs yesterday. Playing a more attacking role than he did at the WeeNix.
Missed the game, who did all the pressing up front with Jackson away. (Last game I saw, TW missed that part of his game)

Front 3(ish) was Joel - Kilkolly - J-H S.
Ilich, Barcia, Kayara and Molloy across the middle and Shrijvers, Gulley and Hilliar back 3ing. Pretty flexible where they played in that formation.

Haven't seen much of Wellington this season, how's Tom Jackson been? According to Transfermarkt he's got the highest value in the Handy (£360k), more than De Vries and co.
