Having never won anything at Senior level they can hardly be described as "Experienced in pressure situations"???? Not of winning them anyway.
Choked quite a few times in last year few years maybe they will finally get over the line for once
fair enough - I'm not part of Birkenhead by the way, far from it.
Waitakere have probably two of the more experienced players in Butler and Nicholson but while birko have not won anything at senior level almost their entire squad has experienced Cup Quarters and Semi's and the pressure that goes with them in the past two seasons.
The old saying goes you have to experience loss before you can appreciate what it takes to win - I think Birko fit that perfectly.
Anyway point was that someone above was saying Birko had not done much in the last couple of seasons which is far from fact.
Im aware you have nothing to do with Birkenhead and your allegiance is very much with Ellerslie.
I just dont get this whole Birkenhead are great thing that yourself and Enzo among others seem to tell everyone.
As for not done much in last few years I guess it depends on what you consider "Done something" to mean?
If you mean winning a couple of 40 min game tournaments as doing something.
Or actually winning something at senior level
It's a good club with a nice atmosphere that I always enjoy spending time at. As a fan it's a place I want to go to. I admire the way they engage their juniors, and there's always a good crowd there. When I post about them my blog stats go through the roof which makes me happy but also tells me they have a lot of supporters. What I just don't get is why other clubs knock them. As Danny Donegan told me when I went on a bus trip to Hamilton with Glenfield a few weeks ago: “Most people who complain aren’t affected by it... if you don’t like it by all means take the moral high ground and take pride in your club but don’t knock others... it’s not affecting you so don’t judge them.”
