Well our game on the weekend was weird...Dom Rogerson came on and had some 'discussions' with a Tawa player. After a few minutes of talk between the lads, the Tawa coach walks on the field and calls his team off! Maybe 10 minutes left in the game? Biggest sooky since Karori Normal School 1985
A few minutes of talk, wests were full of dirty challenges which your ref never saw, but when a tawa player did something you didn't like u all cried about how terrible it was. The game got called because your defender decided general banter wasn't good enough for him so he would start with some personal comments towards players.
I don't know who you are anonymous but thats the biggest load of rubbish i've heard. I played for tawa the last 4 seasons and it was clear that some of the tawa guys turned up saturday with their usual 'we hate wests attitude'. We were 5-1 up before any of the verbal started, after a 50/50 challenge between your headbanded dude and one of our centre backs. Your left back, Paul Leman, then started threatening to knock our players out. Comments like that take things to a whole new level, and i'd suggest that if a proper ref had heard it then the player may have been sent off or at least carded.
I would be embarrased if my team got dragged off the field because the coaches son got called a t**ser. And certainly some of the Tawa lads did look embarrased about it. It was absolutely ridiculous.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA god this is classic, shall we try get some bites on Tawa Afc's fb page?
Yup I wasn't happy we were dragged, it was going both ways (well mainly Paul Leman from Tawa) but i guess their comes a line and it was stepped over, also with Wests dominating and Tawa playing like a bunch of girls didn't help.
But some of your guys really had the carrot stuck up their @#$ and were spoiling for a fight, things were happening before that incident ie the dude only the ground who decided it was a good idea to hack my brothers ankles because he couldn't get to the ball, but didn't like the favour being returned, next thing your player is up in his face trying to pick a fight.
I can't speak for the rest of the tawa team, but several times after i collected the ball i was on the receiving end of something extra. Its only natural to assume it was happening to those on the field too, so I guess there comes a point where players get sick of it.
I have to laugh how the natural reaction to things these days is to put it on facebook. Maybe someone could make a page about this...
yeah, niggly stuff was happening out on the pitch, but both teams were doing it (including Tawa players chasing down and hacking at wests ankles). I remember you getting shouldered a couple of times but I don't think it was malicious at all - probably more our immobile players not being able to move. Don't recall you moaning about it so you must have not thought much of it at the time?
Either way, both teams got a bit silly towards the end but none of it warranted the overreaction of your coach in dragging the team.
Re you comment about our guys spoiling for a fight, I think you are way off the mark there. If you knew the guys in our team you'd know none of them would be looking for that.
Your mum on the sideline didn't help the situation much either.....
