Central League 2013

You may have to look in the fine print, Coaches can and have been red carded, ask Mr Keinzley.

Think coaches can be asked to leave the side of the pitch? Probably different from a red card. 

Any official listed on the team sheet can be sent from the field of play which includes tech area. (No card is shown or required).

Law 5 The Referee 

Thanks to those who have commented. Several coaches (including ours) have been sent from the technical area. But on Saturday Maki Halikias was not in the tech area. He was outside the fence and sometimes on the concrete terrace.

My belief then was the referee would have to ask Petone to control the spectator. But if his name was on the card he would be directly under the ref's control. (Only done a basic ref course 4 years ago. So could well be wrong.)

I am sure he was not on the card. At the time he was suspended. During the game Petone might have been asked to remove him. However, the alleged incident occurred after the game. I think a citing is the obvious event.

Anyone idea what's happening on the Halikias moment?

Thx.

Yeah Im pretty sure coaches cannot be shown cards. ie, never happens in A-League or EPL, and have seen coaches been sent off plenty of times. Ricki, Aloisi, Sir Alex... to name a few. I do recall local refs sending coaches off with and without cards.

Hence why it does say 'only players, substitutes and substituted players may be shown red or yellow card'

If you toss a coach, you'd send something into the Federation office in the form of a report and they would sort it. So Halikias if he was shown a card, must have been listed as a sub. If he was not, then the referee is completely wrong or its incorrect reporting (which is more likely)

Cap Football say - "Team officials can't be shown a card, but they can be sent from the tech area"

Hi all,

This was incorrect reporting. Was no where near the referee the whole game or after. Only spoke to him after game in the clubrooms and it was a friendly chat. I thought he had a good game to be fair. 

The incident was mistaken for the week before in CHC when I was shown a second yellow after final whistle for having a wee go at the official.

 That should clear it up.

Precisely. Good man.

Cleared up.....   

Cough cough

Thanks.

Why don't you have a sim?

iPad mini on wireless.  iPhone hotspot when away from networks. 

Any update  from C/L meeting this week

G Little to Petone confirmed.

That is harsh on Foz !

Would he replace Easthope at Stop Out as he is going overseas????

Yuss posted that on the Cap prem thread a few weeks ago. Good luck to him 

Wow.

Mark Foster coaching ability is the equivalent of Phil Keinzley, bout time Petone got a change

Im surprised G got the Petone gig, considering what he has done Wellington United. Has left them in a real state!

Well it has to be said. Still very much un-proven as a coach.

What is Foster going to do? Dont know of any clubs in the need of a coach at present

Other than United, unless they have already filled that position.

Who is coach at WDU?

Heard Wairarapa are interested in a few coaches!
