We were playing well, although again short of ideas as far as attacking went, until the second goal went in, considering we had only 10 men on the short. Every single decision went against the team again, and in the early minutes of first half we had a stone wall penalty given as a free kick outside of the box. I'm hoping Osea can come back and find some goal scoring form as him scoring could be very very dangerous.

Well I've had a day to think about it and I'm still mad. How does a kick in the back to player laying on the ground inside the box become a indirect free kick? I presume that the AR and ref didnt get no. 3's  number who did the kicking otherwise he would've been sent off, or would he? After that let off Wellington change their tactics to 'dirty' with some hard tackles that went unpunished. No. 6( Adam Birch I think) then decided he may as well CHEAT because he knew he would get away with it. He PUNCHED, PUSHED, TUGED and held Trent Watson in a HEADLOCK in front of the ref and AR and got away with it scotch free. If that was'nt bad enough Watson was soon sent off over what was caused by the ref and his AR's in the first place.Wait it gets worse 1 minute before  halftime the ref see's a penalty that even the Wellington cheaters didnt even see. The second half was'nt much better, cheater Birch had a go at Prince by pushing and grabing him around the neck. He also pushed Pablo and once while he was on the ground he stuck out his hand and tripped Pablo. Thats 3 red cards and 4 yellows to just 1 player but all of those offences amazingly go unpunished, how did he stay on the field? The only conclusion I can come up with are 1. Wellington bribed the ref and AR's or 2. The ref had money on the outcame of the match. I will be sending out a email soon to the referee's association that Chris Kerr never be allowed to ref a NZFC match again. I will also be sending a email out to the NZFC CEO that Team Wellington change their name to Wellington Cheaters and Mr Kerr change his first name to Wayne

I bet Shane Rufer's gald he didn't say all that, he'd still be paying the fines in a few years, he might have just finished paying by the time Madsoundz managed to calm down 

See, certain folks would want me to censor that... but why censor such passion and one-eyed loyalty.

Points for living up to your name.  Shame Mr. Kerr isn't around to have a read...

Ooh aren't you a firey wee one. Are you Trent Watsons mum in disguise cause you are about as firey as he is.... Maybe you could teach your son the finer points of anger management. It looked like the red card was comng until Trent got involved and stopped all that and Gulley ran away in the comotion. I had a pretty good view of it and it didn't look like it was in the box or indirect. The penalty was soft, but soft isn't wrong now is it..

But it was this game and this decision that stopped them going top of the table now wasn't it....

Like Agent 47, the way I heard it was that the opening non-send off was missed because of the Manawatu players diving in.  This meant that the officials had to break that up and lost track of the man they had lined up for the red. 

By the time they calmed it down any chance of identifying the culprit and issuing a red was gone.  A good advertisement for leaving it to the officials I would have thought.

i really cant be bothered reading this whining from YH again..

I didn't see maddsoundz on here praising Riley when he wrongly sent of Simon Eaddy of Waitakere...
He must had both eye patches on that day.
