waikato fc

waikato fc

i must admit that my worst fears came to fruition yesterday. Midfield with no direction being totally outplayed in fact did sinkora play? Defenders seemingly rotating along the backline and then played totally out of position and a forward line which wouldnt scare a northern league 2 side let alone a good wellington side.

Fat controller did you use to work on the set of Thomas the Tank Engine?

i tell you if i did there would be more production  than in that waikato fc midfield

I wouldnt worry too much fat man - Wilknaldo will be back in the Waikato midfield for this weekends encounter, and as per usual he will run the show

Yeah but they are playing Canterbury. If he can't put up a reasonable showing against them (which I doubt he can) then he may as well stay on the sidelines

what sort of comment is that????

What I mean by that is I don't think that the wilkinator is that good. They are playing Canterbury who haven't got a good record at the mo (and I'm surprised at that) and have had worse results as you have said.

If he can't perform against opposition that is favourable on the table to Waikato and also perform in the void that (has been stated here by a couple of others) is the Waikato midfield of the past couple of games, then he should not worry about lacing up the boots next week.

Does that make it a bit clearer for you sir?

Jeff Sole has signed back up for Waikato he will be playing against canterbury this week....Boomer Kotchin has been back in training wit the squad maybe see him added in the new year..

Here is some other Waikato news. Both Matt Williams and Che Bunce are in Fiji this weekend, with navua.

1 all make of it what you whant, at least we got both goals

Yeah except of WOF it def was not a penalty except for some inept refereeing

You got lucky, watch the tape.

Agent what game were you watching? Canterbury were lucky not to have another penalty decision go against them wehn Luke Findlay was brought down in the box in the first half! Did you go to the game Agent 47? because from what you are saying it sounds like you didnt... dont bother making things up about a game that you didnt attend!

I was at the game and at the time I thought at the time that the Findlay incident was a penalty.   However, I have now watched a tape of the game (courtesy CTV) and it shows that Findlay wasn't touched by the Canterbury defender - I have slowed it down and watched frame by frame and ....nothing.   Good call by the Referee who was in perfect position.
The penalty to Waikato was deserved - I couldn't see it from the grandstand - player had his back to us - but based on what was shown on the tape (on the camera side of the field and facing the incident) it was correctly awarded by the lino.
Overall though, not the best game to watch - too many mistakes by both sides

Oh sorry master. How dare I make any comment... FFS

You seem to get uppity at anyone that has an opinion different from yours or even speaks in a thread you are posting in. You have some absurd views of your own as well looking back over your own posts..

It wasn't a penalty, you got lucky. Watch the tape over and over again... Just tell your team to stop chanting benchmark everytime they kick the ball.

the best thing about the nzfc for a waikato fan is the u19s
you finally get to see some quality local talent

I agree with that

Feedback am I allowed to agree with that??
Agent 472007-11-28 22:33:37

you are wrong.. i spoke to luke findley and he said he would never dive and some one behind him took his legs, how else would he fall down?? plus he had space to get a shot off.

I heard Luke Finley called the wrong thing and said "Running In" and "Turning Left" instead of "Turning Right" Thats why he had to dive.

slinger why dont you sling your hook... if all you have to say is stupid things like that!.. thanks

Luke Findley obviously got a good bollocking at half time today v Auckland. In the first half he was slow, never getting back to defend until it was too late, but came out after the break chasing everything down. He got subbed half way thru the second spell, but had put in a better effort. If he (and the rest of the Waikato team) played like that for a whole game (with some enthusiasm, not necessarily running around like headless chooks) we might have got a better result. Good game to watch, showing some of Wakato's potential. The Auckland penalty was a bit soft, ball just bouncing off a hand in the box, but that's the way it goes. Good effort guys. Good game to watch and actually a bit of atmosphere at the stadium, possibly due to the Auckland fans that travelled down for the game.

yes we only had to wait till the 50th minute rather than the usual 80th+ before they started playing football, does that mean next sunday they will start playing in the1st half.
surly rodger will put a stop to that

Roger Wilkinson is not capable.

Hello there. In defence of Roger, what have Jonathan Gould, Danny Halligan, Chris Milicich, Colin Tuua, Terry Phelan, Shane Rufer and anyone else around now won as coaches.

How the hell you compare Woger Rilkinson to Alex blows me away surely you now more about the game than that........Brusey.

Im with you on that one slinger! From what I've heard findlay isn't the sharpest tool in the box!

luke is trialling with sydney and perth glory over dec break he has told waikato that hes having a Op on a hernia but he will be in Australia ..good luck to him..I hear that Michael Mayne is playing 2nd Div in Perth and has been asked to triall in Dec also..

Do they hold trials for water boys? Surely it can't be as a player because he isn't that good.
He isn't strong on the ball, no top gear, lacks a credible first touch and thats without mentioning that he is not a presence in the air

What a troll

Hope Luke is not paying for his flights to Aus will be the biggest waste of money for him. 

If he does make it as an import player he will stack up well against the like of Juninho, Mario Jardel and Daniel.  Good Luck Kid

mayne has actually slimmed down and has been playing well for his perth side so he may make it yet...

Michael Maynes biggest issue i feel is that he tended to drift out of games and make mental errors.

Good footballer, just needs to focus better.

""In defence of Roger, what have Jonathan Gould, Danny Halligan, Chris Milicich, Colin Tuua, Terry Phelan, Shane Rufer and anyone else around now won as coaches.""

Chris Milicich has coached two different sides to Grand Finals in the National League and been NZ Coach of the year. Colin Tuua has coached teams for many years with the same sort of talent as Roger and continually got them into playoff contention. Danny Halligan took a very average Canterbury team to the NZFC Grand Final and should have won. Shane Rufer should have won the NZFC minor premiership last year but because of Auckland City fielding an ineligible player Waitakere won and Shane had some pretty average players. Gould and Phelam are probably the two coaches that Roger could be compared to currently.

You should never compare coaches as it always comes down to players, support staff, club backrooms and ability. Many coaches live on past history to continue to get jobs.

Are you seriously suggesting that if Tuua or Milicich was available that you would pick Roger to coach your team in front of them?

Yes, I would probably go for Roger ahead of the two you suggested. he offers more breadth of significance in terms of experience and technical knowledge, even if he is more difficult to work with.

Bruce,  I'm begining to think you would rate Roger as the best coach in the country,  I think your getting carried away and saying things in the heat of the moment.  He may have been the best coach in the country once in the early ninteys but we all know times have changed.  No recent acheivments.  In the 1994 english season only one one manager that one manager of the month is still involved in the game and thats Fergie ( please don't make the comparison) I think the game has changed in NZ or I've even heard people say Roger has changed but the results show hes not the great coach he once was.  Maybe football in Waikato needs to stop living in the past and look at recent results. 

I have not rated Roger as the best coach in the country. I didn't think he was the best in the country in the early 90s as it happened 9though our coaching stocks were stronger then). I can't understand why you are presuming to know my thoughts. i have only addressed  Roger's coaching here. Please don't try and put words in my mouth. I'm capable of doing that myself.

I can't see that i've generated any heat either. I've pretty much stuck to parroting a few facts and given a personal memoir on 1992.

Apart from last season, Roger hadn't coached in NZ at top level since 1995. That's the most fundamental reason why there are no recent achievements. You have to be coaching to achieve.

I heard that Finley learnt how to dive from Boomer Kotchin after a kick around in the back yard. Obviously it wasnt good enough to decieve the referee. Should have known better then to learn from a nobody in football like Boomer "jay jay A" Kotchin.

waikato are making a move for Ross mckenzie within the next two weeks also look out for a new signing from england , they have been talking and he will decide soon..

I heard Boomer Kotchin was dating Ross McKenzie's sister, seems like a tight knit community at Waikato???

Ties in nicely with Sammy being the coaches son. You've got to be related to play for Waikato FC...
