No surprise they drew each other!! And funny how Waikato teams drew each other, Christchurch and Dunedin teams kept apart......
in the central region Mar should be too strong for Island Bay and id back City Rovers over tawa, although id say it will be close
All Whites | Phoenix | Baggies
I have read the NZF regulations but it is not clear as to that point.
I believe they serve the suspension in the league game the following weekend. Think that one of the Wests players had two yellows in their Chatham Cup game against Petone and didn't play for them in the CL game the weekend after that.
i have a separate question - can anyone confirm if Chris Bale was sent off last week after the whistle against Wanderers? anyone confirm this?
Anymore on this Chopah?
Thanks. That was my understanding also that it was served in a league game if that was the next match day for the team. But I can't see anything specific about it in NZF regulations.

I understood that Spoonley was TW then Phoenix (for a game), then TW then Phoenix (for a game) then ACFC for Champs league and then Central. I think he played Central last winter but then to be fair to Spoonley, he has been Central for a while and before that ECB so I think most people recognise that he is a Central player. Not sure how that fits with the technical wording the competition regs so he may was be caught out but I would think unlikely. I'm happy to go with Chopahs position on this cause he is not often wrong on regs etc.
I am sure if coming back to the same club with an International Transfer then the fifteen day rule does not apply. Only applies if transferring from a difference club.
wasn't his last club TW or the Phoenix ?
Go Ngongotaha! The Northern Oranje!
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

They still in? I saw them beating Pukekohe and they didn't look that great. Good on them.
its an audacious latte sipper who'll brave the gumbooted hordes at Stembridge Road; would be a great story for the rugby and rugby league mad village of Ngongotaha to make it to the quarters or beyond
Any thoughts on their hopes against Melville? Ngongotaha are the lowest ranked side still left according to the Daily Post

I do think the question needs to be asked of NZF - if for no other reason than to prompt them to take the time to review their (outdated) regulations and provide some clarity going forward on this type of situation.

Good luck. NZFs regulations (and constitution) have been in desperate need of replacement for a decade or more.
Governance has not been a high priority it's fair to say.
The lawers who drafted the current governance docs should hand in their practicing certificates immediately.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Melville's third-string side beat them 2-1 a few weeks ago, but - you never know with the cup, etc.... Might make my third Rotorua roadtrip this season, a strange footballing hotbed this year!
" provide some clarity going forward on this type of situation '
Time we had more HR speak on these forums ....

Have previously been rebuffed both in respect of the Capital Football regs and the New Zealand Football ones.
It may interest folks to know that at one stage there were two lawyers on the Capital Football board, one of them really good (the other one was me). Chairman Canton's choice to rewrite some of the playing regs: Helen Mallon.
Go figure.

easy there smithy i know where you are coming from but spitting tac's here won't help resolve stupid rules made by stupid people.
as for the ambiguity in the NZFA rules i feel it has been done deliberate to allow NZF to manipulate outcomes as they see fit.
and that is why they don't want them fixed to remove any misunderstandings.
what did forrest gump say "stupid is as stupid does"
good sportsmanship and fair playing field is all we ask for
but all we get is talk and goal posts moving
i have a separate question - can anyone confirm if Chris Bale was sent off last week after the whistle against Wanderers? anyone confirm this?

wasn't sent - had a bit of a tanty but not cautioned.

wow - can't say that - I got abused last year when i made that connection.. lol.

Nix - hence the need for an ITC.

You're quite right. I'm not spitting tacks at all, just an interesting fact for those entertained by local football politics.
On the bigger point, I totally agree. There are a couple of assumptions I've always made about the current rules, which I think stack up.
One is that they are drafted to capture anyone who ever touches a football. The reasoning was (presumably) to make the game appear as big as possible for funding purposes. Count everyone.
That is unhelpful now, but back in the day perhaps it was necessary.
The other one is that, as you say, they wanted to retain ultimate discretion on pretty much everything.
Again, unhelpful now (in the extreme) but it happened at a time when NZF was trying to restructure the game against a fair swathe of opposition. So you can see how it happened.
The current rules are simply not fit for purpose though. Not accurate, not clear.

NW's Helen Mallon?
The one and only.

Didnt you get stick for saying Ellerslie beat ACFC?
Where as this poster is infact correct plenty of ACFC Old Boys (and current ones) at Gl$nfield Rovers.
On another point why do Glenfield bother win an U19 team.....
Wonder who Buffy gonna want to win when Central play Glenfield????
wasn't his last club TW or the Phoenix ?

But of course he couldnt play for ACFC in the end because he played for TW and Phoenix in summer season meaning they were his permitted 2 clubs.
And on a side note how many local Wellington players played for TW last season????

not sure if serious but i believe the two club rule only applies to winter football.
Incorrect hence the previous post about Spoonley not playing OFC Champs
Dont despair tho ....there must be something you can hang a complaint on ....
Yeah, like Spoonley playing when he was ineligable.
We'll see who has the last laugh.
HA HA HA !!

You made a statement "The current rules are simply not fit for purpose though. Not accurate, not clear."
The simple answer or explanation is that they were written by lawyers, to be interpreted by lawyers.

If they were written by lawyers, they weren't very good ones.
Didn't NZF use Frank's mate's firm in Auckland? Small shop, does mostly private client stuff?
