There is one thing that really bugged me today and I think it is grossly unfair on the kids.

They had Grant McKavanagh out there dress like a bum, Glyn Turner dressed like a bum and hahd presenting the trophy..... Kris Bright ????

It would have been nice if NZF at least treated the league seriously and had the CEO looking a little more dressed up that in his bogan black jeans with stud belt. I also ask why Kris Bright was handing over the trophy and what the significance of him being involved.

Poor from NZF, the least you could do is show the kids some respect because it probably means a lot to them and you just demean it sending out bums to hand out the trophies.

Went to the game with high hopes there was going to be some good football
Apart from the first 15 min where both teams created some opportunities it turned into a messy arm wrestle. left quite disappointed. Can`t say any individual stood out as having a great game.
Expected big things from Tuiloma. He played in a midfield role and didn`t look as effective as when he plays at full back.Were the Dragons the better team, I think there is a case for Waitakerie to say they were unlucky.

I agree it was patchy game,but don't forget they played on artificial turf. In my view Cantabs tried to play football and looked more like a team. Waitak played more individually.

For me standout was young Cantab CB De Vries (no 3), also good midfielder Cibilich (no 6)

How is what Grant McKavanagh wears in his spare time "grossly unfair" on the kids.

Also, what's your problem with Kris Bright? He's a current overseas footballer, something a lot of them should aspire to.

Ok perhaps grossly unfair is a big exaggeration. Perhaps a better term would be 'disrespectful to what the kids are doing.' As for 'spare time' last I checked, football is played 90% of the time in the weekend. For the final of a national competition, I would have expected that the head of football in this country might have put a little effort in to at least dress up a little. Had it been the u9 Birkenhead inhouse tournament, well then fair enough.

I have no problem with Kris Bright as a person or a footballer. Its just extremely random person to pick. Why pick him to hand out trophies? Vicelich, Mulligan, they are local and went to the WC. They would have more significance. Danny Hay even as a former captain... I just struggle to see the link or the tie in with Kris Bright. Its random.

Link:  Chris Bright`s step brother played for Waitakere. A good reason to be at the game along with mum and step father.

No tie in with CU
 
Ex NZ player at the game watching his step bro play
NZF " I have an idea, lets get him to present the Trophy"
I think you will find it`s that simple
I didn`t see any other current Professionals there who have played for NZ
Definately no Auckland City boys there offerring their services

Kris Bright did play for Canterbury Unied in the 2004 - 2005 season, scored one goal away to Waitakere with Waitak winning 5 - 2.

It wasn't anti Kris Bright. It was 'Why him?'
