The WaiBOP United Thread

 

Turner, I also am aware of a wee issue bubbling under the radar at waikato.

 

But in fairness to Che and the Waikato team, I won't comment on  anything until after their game tomorrow.

 

But I can't let your comment above pass. I can't speak for Wanderers, but would like to remind you the sessions at Melville were of sufficient calibre for them to win the northern premier league title.

 

 

 

 

Fair do's to Melville they won the play off but came 2nd in the league  -you did what the competition demands but its a bit like Man Utd winning the Prem and then having to go in to a play off  -its a bit Disneyland but thats the system but I can't help thinking the old Bruce would have been fighting a lot harder against the problems of the game instead of becoming part of the system.

I'd suggest the players did it - maybe they did it despite the sessions  - i'm sure you must talk to the players at different times so despite your protestations you will know the quality of the coaching  but of course its really Willo thats the power behind the club so its difficult for you.

just saying it as it is

  

   

 

I don,t need to look at those details Smithy you categorize yourself with your comments!!

Played a little bit maybe local league tried a bit of refereeing and maybe coaching probably a womens team and went into administration and now think you,re an expert!!

 

 

 

 

Kind of hard to reconcile, don't youi think, even for someone who is not a Melville member?

 

Still, that incongruity has helped clarify who you are though. :)

 

 

I'm disappointed in your reply Bruce - you never really answered the real basis of the post.

I never used the word rubbish!!!  i said boring but again you know that !! Willo controls the club with his money,his length of service and his connections and who can blame him.

Make no mistake you're the one thats turned the club round but be careful you don,t become a different person you,ve still got to "tilt at windmills "occasionally!! 

So far Bunce has lost Wylie Hogg Strom Pearce - all pre season, now Matthews and Hollaway during the season....any takers on who next he will have a falling out with? 

This club could create a movie with all its happenings over the past and current seasons!!

Mate is a Waikato discussion thread and ive only ever spoken about Waikato business on it. You may also find that my information may be correct. Hollaway and Wilkonson have walked out!!

 

And Ronald Oknow is my real name.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But I think a degree of openness is required when so many people are inquiring.

 

 

 

 

 

However youve just done a Che Bunce....tried to cover up some truth by presenting a happy ending story!! Sure Steven may not like the travel but their are more reports coming out of the waikato camp that suggest this case is similar to the Matthews incident!

Also rumours in the kiwitea st clubrooms yesterday is that Waikato are again chasing Paul Marshall to take over at Christmas after he turned the job down before Bunce took over. Alan Jones was also mentioned by someone but cant see him wanting to take over nor Marshall in this case! However watch this space i say...

C'mon City!!!

As fo Che he may well be in the gun already given the reported comments after the game yesterday that the defence were to blame, particularly for the first goal. It was a marvellous strike deserving of a match winner, nothing to do with poor defence. The biggest problem Waikato had was there two best chances fell to Bunce (who had a very good game I might add), they lacked a killer instinct up front and creativity in the mid-field.

 

But we can't afford any more, because we don't have the supporter base to pay for it.

 

And it is hard for any coach to keep bench, or even non-bench players happy, when they are not part of a lucrative reward system, and past the point of beign eager young pups.

 

Incidentally the Waikato Times reported Bunce as saying Waikato were all over Canterbury.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes i am aware that Bunce played for us which also fuels my discussions and after speaking to players about him, he seemed a man who loved to blame everyone else in any circumstance on and off field! this seems to have taken place in the waikato too after loosing to of the vital players the team carried ie Mathews and Hollaway.

Also Pronz thank you for noting i have typed 14 times and if you have read what i have said those 14 times then you should understand that i originaly was infurated by Bunces article in the paper defaming an ec City player Joel Mathews and then to witness Bruce Hollaway come on here and say Joel Mathews has a brusied ego when both Bruce and Bunce really know what happend down there. I also mentioned that others would leave soon after, took a couple of weeks but now Northen Leagues GOLDEN BOOT and Waikato's all time TOP SCORER Steven Hollaway has left.
This infuriates me because we are loosing top players from this league and many from this Franchise...Wylie Hogg Pearce Strom Mathews Hollaway Mayne and maybe more. I like to see good football when i watch teams play City!! yes i am a city supporter!! but even Bruce is sensing their is problems down there so their must be.

So Pronz you can stick up for your franchise i have no problem with that...but sometimes what you read maybe true even if you dont particully like it! my bet is Wilkinson next to go...

C'mon City!!!

 

The Waikato Times reported:

 

 

You may disagree with that assessment, or its accuracy as a report (qualified by the rider that that was the position the paper UNDERSTOOD it to be), but it is hardly defamatory.

 

 

What I actually said on October 29  was: "one of the under-rated aspects of coaching is the man management of nursing the bruised egos" after observing the various permutations at left and right back for Waikato.

 

If you are infuriated by that, you probably owe it to yourself to get some good medication and stay away from forums where you risk getting all het up.

 

Hope this helps. Remember, we're here to help, Hear it Here.

 

 

 

 

(A few more Jeremy Ruanes would be nice too, only with better music taste.)

 

Until you said you loved me, I'd automatically made the assumption you were a bloke, when i had no valid reason to do so.

 

Our relationship will have to remain platonic however.

 

 

 

 

I think my time is up on here but ive enjoyed every minute of it Brucey Boy!! Maybe il be back if you infuriate me even more! :)

I hope waikato will be competitve next time we play them, but i cant see it happening, infact i wonder if you will be able to put out a team with the amount of players leaving! However if Micheal McGwyther can somehow score a goal and 'The Fridge' Beard at the back stops giving away penalties and Mikial Munday comes comes after Sunday can use that left foot of his to some use you never know what might happen!

Goodluck but i still believe the franchise is shambolic!!

C'mon City!!!!!

 

*waits for hail of abuse

 

I don't think Steven was too fussed about "getting his chance". He was prepared to play if needed, but if they don't need him, that's good too.

 

It wouldn't surprise me if sam had left, he was travelling with Steve.

 

 

 

 

After several conversations with Steven over the last 2 months I have taken on the role of life coach for Bruce Jnr, as well as Samuel Wilkinson, Mikey Mayne and Stewart Watenao.

 

Following the Chris Moorman life principles, as laid out in his best-seller "BOOOOOMMMM: The Moorman Story" the aforementioned lads have come to realise the greater truth re NZ football.  It was a truth that I myself realised at the age of 23, with a Northern Premier title and some National League experience behind me I choose the higher ground ... a life with potential and possibility.

 

Thankfully the Valley Road lads have also seen this future, and together we will move forward into the light.  No grumpy or fanta faces allowed.  Ringo at our house.

 

I'd like to wish Buncey and all the Waikato lads all the best for the season, and look forward to catching up with all of you at the All Whites game this weekend.

 

Yours in football,
