Central League 2009

Agreed, first two goals by Olympic were brilliant, 3rd was good also. Wests woke up and played well 2nd half and were unlucky to hit the crossbar with about twenty to go, a couple of good shouts for penalties too. Great game to watch.

The Greek midfield three - Halikias, Barbarouses and de Gregorio are class.

George Barbarouses is probably the best player in the league this year.

Yea, great unit. Work very well together. 

Firstly Xaxa to you.

Secondly, chafoo.

GREAT win for us today. Put a limp in Wests step and kept our title hopes alive.

Now all we need now is for the Mar to get a result next, and us win the next 3 games. The way we've been playing i say the cards lie in our favour, but i don't want to get ahead of myself.

...and there is no chance Mar will forfeit their game against Wests. Thats ridiculous.

May be the TW coaching staff  should be taking some notes...!!!!

Very true Da Boss.

Yeah look like he was having a little cry to the line-o yesterday.

Mikey's goal was a cracker.

You would think many more Olympic players would make this team surely.

Also comes down to who's avaliable to play during the summer and willing to commit fully to the team. That has been the problem with some players in the past.

Dylan wasn't in goal for Team Wellington last year.  Phil Imray (and then Jim Bannatyne) was.  I'd imagine Imray will be again.

Robson planning on staying, not heading back to Youngheart ?

In fact he turned them down already...he told them he was too busy and that he was also having too much fun with Olympic...!!!!

Yeah but the Central League's all over

Not until the Boys dance the Zorba Dance...

love all this banter today, today has been a good banter day.

hopefully Raf, Milne, Robson and Cowan back to YH!

Milne's gone to college hasn't he ?

Milne has gone bye byes. Somewhere in Florida. Central Florida State University I think

Correct.

Your right, I knew that, my bad.

I agree however he is rather prone to hacking people down and is not shy about the manner in which he does it. How would that shape up on the NZFC when he isn't playing because of suspension or giving away penalties to our opponents

If you agree then let him hack, what defenders dont. This season I dont think Barry has had many cards at all, and has not given any penos away that I can recall. Plus to be honest I dont think Barry will want to play NZFC.

Wiremu P at right back?? He's been playing there for MiramarTyler2009-08-13 16:04:57

I watched the first half of Petone / Olympic. Olympic were awarded a free kick, quite early on, when one of the Petone team No 14 ( programme says Richard McLay)  was offside. Petone's Paul Whitmarsh and No 17 (prog says Benn Dawson) gave the linesman a lot of stick. All I can say is that both of them were well out of order.

Olympic drew with Petone 1-1.

Not really quite the side we saw beat Wests. Didn't play up to our standards.

Hear Miramar beat Wests.

Thank you.

A win against The Rapa next week and Wests away will see us win the league!

Chafoo.

So, where does that leave the Petone Midfield, who, I understand, didn't play that well today

Heard that the coach from Olympic said to the coach form Wai United that Olympic were going to thrash them 6 nil.  Good luck with that.

It could be a possibility, depends who plays on Sunday, going with all the rumours floating round some of the second team youngsters could get a run, will be interesting, 

Bull-shlakin.

Rovers drew 2-2 with Wellington United after being 2-0 up and were lucky to hang on

Heard Calcott, struck a negative chord with Miramar's Coaching staff in his after-match speech!

Anyone care to comment?

No-one!?

Think everyone is still looking the other way and whistling.
