Mate....ya dreaming.  Tawa to lose 3-1.

Miramar 5-1 up over Olympic at half-time apparently

Miramar 6 Olympic 3 FT

O well couldn't keep the streak going on forever.

Spewing the defeat had to come by the hands of Miramar. Just cannot seem to beat them.

My views of the game:

Defensive blunders handed Miramar the 1 goal cushion at 2-1.

Van Hatt's brain explosion pegged us back 3-1.

More average defending and good capitalization by Miramar gave them the 5-1 lead at the break.

Second half, one screamer from Churchy and Sloppy tap in by Ish brought us within 3. But there just wasn't enough time on the clock.

Never thought Miramar outplayed us, just that when chances arose, Miramar finished with little mercy. The 6-3 scoreline flatters Miramar, as i do believe we were the better footballing side on the day.

But hey...you cant win them all!

That's pretty lol US, you lost 6-3 but were the better footballing side on the day? 

The Palmy darkhorse rolls on.

Jesus - Palmy only team with 12 points

1 Nil over Wests

Any word on why Jamie Cross blew the game up early?

Maybe Miramar declared?

lol I'm surprised this guy still has a brain. Played against him in college football and U19s, he was absolutely bat sh*t crazy... especially when hes losing.

I dont reckon on the two "P" teams being in these positions at the end of the season.

I thought Olympic played some good football in patches. In fact for the first 15 or so they were all over the Mar and Phil had to make a couple of very sharp saves. Greeks had a very poor day at the back though and that cost them in the end.

If the Greeks had put away a couple of their early chances, it could have been a totally different game. But they didn't and just kept switching off at the back. Miramar kept punishing them for it and they eventually just crumbled. Would have thought a team that had gone 30 odd games unbeaten (and won the chatham cup in the process) would have had more bottle. Odd. Maybe you need more than pink boots, ouzo and cigarettes to win a championship after all?

Our defense let us down. Our attack was sublime, and if it wasn't for Imray in goals, like badtouch says, it would have been a very different day.

Things just didn't fall our way and, I'm prepared to accept that.

But in the end I just didn't think we deserved to lose by that margin. We kept in the game the whole way, even enjoying more possession than the mar.

Baaaaa humbug. Rant over.

Farrington out for the season....

Glass legs.

Match report from Napier

God his articles are terrible. 2ndBest2010-04-19 19:30:01

whats going on at Wests that is making all these players leave? I heard Mike Smith is the latest (to Mar)

Granville turned up?

You got a week off or got the call up to the first team ?

Bench.

The awesome life of reserve keeper 

It's an easy life

It's great if your reserve team is in a good standard league.

It's even better if your reserve team plays in a reserve league and you play with zero pressure and still enjoy all the perks of being part of the 1st team squad 

Yeah exactly this. Our reserve team plays in a competitive league with other first teams. So much more enjoyable though.

Much better effort by Petone today after an indifferent first half.  Actually started to play footy in the second half. Great skills by Jono Blair for his second goal.  Thought the ref was inconsistent and made same poor calls. Nonsense red card at the end of the game summed up his game really.

 

Not looking good for Team Naki.

 Who got the red?

Jono Blair. It was a laughably poor decision.

Teza2010-04-25 07:37:14

You're right, penalty was also a pretty dire call. Everyone looked shocked.

Claim for a red is a bit much but think we can all agree that the ref wasn't up to scratch.
