Capital Three 2010

We do have a good team, when half of them aint away on holiday.  And im sure we wont play that poorly again this season.  And as your side struggled to beat 10 men I would say that your an average side in my opinion.

I agree we did struggle to beat your team with 10 men, but at the same time we played better 1st half when we were playing against 11 men, and it was 2-2 when your player got sent off.  Not looking to get into a big argument, but your team was pretty average (withstanding the fact that you were missing half your team).  Look forward to the return leg.

So from all this trash talk i gather full strength Upper Hutt should be pretty much unbeatable in their eyes? Only played Tawa and Island Bay so far but Tawa seemed pretty strong, well organised and Island Bay very tough not scared of a physical game. What are Waikanae like? I see they lost to Douglas Villa in the cup, Villa at best an average Wairarapa Local League team. steelo2009-04-14 14:00:47

sounds like Upper Hutt have set the bar here. is the old boy Brendon (Homer) still turning out for them?

Who is this Brendon you speak of.  We have no Brendon at our club. 
If he ran out of the changing room it would be more running than he does on a field. 
He is coaching the thirds this season.

results?

Upper Hutt 4
Karori 0

was that a full strength hutt team?

who played for tawa?

Still a few away,  but a stronger performance than the week before.  Pleasing to have another clean sheet.  Created plenty of chances again, but conversion rate needs to be better.  As the better sides in the grade can punish you if you don't kill them off when you should.

tawa was missing a large part of their team.. almost struggling to get 11 on the pitch

So, what will happen this week? Any thoughts on these predictions?

It will be interesting to see Rapa and Waikanae's results as they are both at home - seems they may be strong at home but maybe a few players maybe not willing to travel to Wgtn - hope I am wrong!!

Does the winner of the Kapiti league for this season get free entry into Cap 3 again for next season?

Time for some karori banter here... We got beaten fair and square by Upper Hutt last week but looking forward to a battle with fellow cellar dwellers Yrapa this week for the first points for the mighty COUGGAARRRSSS.

Recken Island Bay will atleast pick up a point against upper hutt. Saw 18 or 20 guys training pretty hard the other night all looked fairly fit too so may give division favorites a good run for there money

I'm picking there will be an upset in one of the games tomorrow.

I was right (for once).

A good 3 - 1 win for Upper Hutt.

Good result for Lower Hutt, they will push the Tawa side this week

Picks for the weekend. Any thoughts?Waikanae             2    Wairarapa United  1

come on hutt boy.. you dont think lower hutt will beat tawa!!

yep, tawa have been very scratchy and lucky so far so I'm picking an upset on a greasy wet park

for example?...

Watched Lower Hutt play Tawa on Saturday (Lower Hutt City       2    Tawa                  4)

wonder who the 14 player was... ? description?

I played 14 that game.. I got completely taken out before I coudl even challenge for the ball, if that was me fouling the LH player then you have a very 'unique' view of the laws of the game.

.... as for kicking? im hoping you are not a referee yourself as your eyesight is terrible

The problem with playing in Cap 3 is that generally the referees will be either new and do not really understand the game, or they aren't up to refing a high level.  But that's a fact of life. Not every ref is going to be a Colina just as the players aren't ever going to play EPL. When a striker misses a sitter from 6 yards you don't get the ref yelling at him saying what a muppet he is. Players need to understand that at this level Refs will make plenty of mistakes but as long as they're consistent (good or bad) then it usually it balances out.

Great call there Sinus especially about the strikers missing for 6 yards out, heck that still happens in Cap Prem, let alone cap 3

Thanks for your brown nosing of the referee's nomad and sinus.  On to more important topics - what are the picks for the weekend - Tawa to get the ref 's favour again??  Brooklyn to lose again??  Lower Hutt to whinge all game at the ref again (and lose - again)??

Your thoughts ?

Eh? Looked more like a plea for RESPECT.

Picks this week

Looks pretty sound - Tawa's luck must run out - some of there back four and midfield should be playing masters - I am picking a 2-0 win to North Wellington

Should be a good game that one, as Nth Wgtn certainly had the better of Upper Hutt in the second half last week.  With a bit more luck in front of goal, the result may well have been different.
