Champs Premier League

why do you feel the need to hold your balls for more than 6 seconds anyway? bobboltontawa22008-06-17 10:06:47

The ball is dead at a goal kick or a free-kick, it's not when the keeper has it in his hands.

Fair enough Jag.  6 seconds is not along time to get up off the ground and assess the options you have to distribute the ball.

I agree. I've never given a free-kick against a keeper for taking longer than 6 seconds. I've booked a few for dicking around at goal kicks tho'

And i'm sure you have warned GK for taking excessive amounts of time to release the ball (i know i have been warned).  And after that i bet all GK released it quicker.  therfore IMHO there is no need a rule to limit to 6 seconds.  Time wasting is commen sense and is covered under other rules.

Yeah but as the ball is in play when the keeper has it in his hands there has to be something in place, i.e. a time limit on releasing the ball, to allow a referee to warn him that he's wasting time because it's a different case to an outfield player wasting time by taking the ball to the corner flag, for example.

Follow you perfectly Jag.  BEfore they introduced the unlimited steps a goalkeeper could take when in possession of the ball was there a time limit?  I pretty sure there wasn't.  Surey back then a GK wasn't allowed to hold until the ball forever.

Wasn't the old rule just a limit on how many steps a keeper could take? I guess they figured even a keeper would get bored standing in the same spot....

yes i think it was 4  steps.  I could do it all day if we are winning.

This tread seems to have gone a bit quite, some of the teams doing well early starting to have results go the wrong way and the teams that were struggling now starting to get results. The big game this week Tawa v Wairarapa could go either way, pick Miramar over KC, Waterside over LH, UH over Wests and Marist to take points off IB. Marist play a good style of football, surprized by their position on the table.

"-kc will score 8 against miramar on recent form"

 "are you having a laugh?" (gervais - extras)
 
that is an absurd prediction, i will respond with an equally absurd one of my own.
big mulvey up front will score 9 to beat kapiti 9-8. A high scoring affair i know.

BBT2, Upper Hutt & Wests to draw is also a bit of stretch.  Their last meeting was 5-1 Upper Hutt away.  I realise Suburbs have gained players since but so has Upper Hutt.

what are you saying that your suprised by where marist are. They were terrible against the mar last week, only the pitch was a leveller.. and a 36 y/o scored a double...what does that say??

Snapped this photo of Karori Park today just after the game there was called off:

That park is a joke. It has hardly rained all week.

thats a bit harsh on us i think, we pegged a goal back with 10 men for 30 mins and could have gotten an equaliser late too.

IBU 1 - 1 Marist, i quote their coach in saying we played better and deserved to win the match....which includes us missing a penalty and a number of 1st half chances

IBU man of the match (playing his 2nd straight match of the day) DKP congrats, good effort

Thanks wulfsteam. You lot were unlucky. So, so, so, so unlucky.

tawas losing the plot, one shot at goal at home. fiji dominated. end of. bobboltontawa22008-06-22 16:44:55

wulfstream....infairness against the mar you werent what i say terrible, but they did play you off the park and you must admit deserved the three points. yes you were chasing the game and we were trying to hold you off but you didnt create a lot...

on another point....as for the mar kapiti...i thought the game was a good one, the mar dominated the first 25 to 30 mins and at half time were unlucky not to be more than one up.

Adventure Park is the new home for Waterside Karori looking at the latest fixtures  for the 5th/6th July !!!!!!!!                 

That's hilarious.

id be pleased with adventure over wilton

True.  Make sure you picked downhill towards the car park in the first half though.

to be fair id rather capital football and the council change the games to these places weeks before than on match day or infact cancelling the game altogether.

hilarious game at kilbirnie park Wharfies vs Marist... both coaches ejected after shaun gill wanted to discuss comments made from the marist coach directley to the wharfies players, something along the lines off "you dirty fu#%*n animal" after a dubious tackle.... The drunk marist supporters then attempt to take over from ejected coach and proceed to give the absolutely average lino arseholes for the rest of the game to go along with the abuse they were dishing out to the few wharfies supporters in attendance.... then Marist keeper gets a straight red after a bizzare incident where Mal the wharfies midfielder looks to attempt to swat an overhit cross with his hands, keeper flips out and is given his marching orders, promptly told not to worry about it from the wharfies bench as he'l have two weeks to cool off..... With five minutes to play and wharfies down 3-2 Karori fail to get a shot on goal where a very nervous looking replacement keeper was waiting....  Hill and Mal the scorers for wharfies, probably a fair result with marist winning as wharfies didn't show up in the second half after leading 2-1 at the break luggsy062008-06-28 17:36:09

yeah fair account. Bit if a battle on the pitch. Really stupid with the argument though between two old friends. The drinking supporters trying to bait everyone was a bit much. The lino on that side has won my worst ref of the year for the past few years. Keeper got sent for swearing. The woman reffing was a bit out of her league, but she  was fair to both teams so well done to that lass.

was patrick wiremu playing 2day?

nah- apparently he has an injury that sounds like it has a bit of a classic story behind it. Same old Wood Dogg...

I don't reckon I was swearing....though I've heard differing accounts from what I've said from a number of people.

I certainly flipped out about it called him a "dirty lil cheat", there was a lot of fire in the game.

Pitch conditions didnt help make it a pretty match

Hahaha Jono, I can not imagine you flipping out enough to warrant a straight red.

Tough game between Island Bay United and Kapiti Coast United today. Both teams left their shooting and passing boots at home, got a bit niggly in the second half, Kapiti's striker getting a straight red for bobsledding me with the ball in my hands. Think the ref might have lost control somewhat. Kapiti's number 7 definately looked the goods, Kapiti's keeper also had a very good game. 2-0 to the Bay after some perseverance finally paying off in both halves. Sets up a huge match next week at Wakefield against Wairarapa.

coming from you......

lol, tirade is certainly the best way to describe it....though i certainly think i should have waited till the ball was out before launching into it (as my team mates let me know)

The fill in keeper (who I thought you were going to beat after that goal kick) reckoned I used the s* word too, I thought it was him mis-hearing cheat. I thought it was more likely, if i used either of them,  for me to use the f* one.... oh well, it's not like the cards going to get changed, i'll be watching next week either way

You definitely used the S word. But still thought it was very harsh, there was swearing everywhere.
