Chatham Cup 2014

Can anyone confirm that Ian Hogg stepped up to take pen against claudelands and someone shouted out "Tony Lochhead was always better than you!" resulting in a missed or saved pen?  Quality banter if true.

A sending off? No. 

A second yellow? Yes. 

Thanks for that

Peter Linney has been one of the better referees in Wellington over the past couple of years so I would say he's definitely ready for a game like that. He's reffed at a decent level for awhile, its not like it's his first day

Memo Mr Edge -- the game needs Peter Linney way more than it needs you.

He was on a yellow already right? Was it a straight red or second yellow? Looking at that image there, I can completely see justification for a second yellow (as it stands as a still image)

Second yellow.

Equally important however in this example Edge is having a bit of a bubble ain't he

Ha, i picked this just the other day. 4 very convenient fixtures.

Can you help me with my picks with the $5million promo the TAB is running on the world cup?

Sounds like Declan might get a smack on the bum from CF for his outbursts

Was watching this game as a neutral.  Had forgotton that Edge (player) was already on a yellow.  The moment the foul was blown up I said yellow card under my breath.  It was not overly forceful but was late and broke down oppenents passing movement.  Red card in isolation, no.  Yellow card for points as above, very clear IMHO.

O and the reaction of Edge (coach).  Absolutley disgraceful and not at all surprised he was dismissed.  Again IMHO young Linney is a very good referee destined for much higher honours.  He has a good feel for the game and unlike a lot of referees, is very fit and a very good athlete.  Plus, despite what Edge said, he is far from a rookie at this level.

The football authorities should now charge Edge coach with bringing game into disrepute with his media outburst.  Referees do not always get it right but on this ocasion he did.  To be blasted in a public forum for doing his job properly should have some consequence

Family full of posers, bout time someone dealt to them

His comments worse than a non racist monkey noise? Sent from the dugout, cornering officials outside shed then blasting said ref wrongly and publicly... Disgrace! Big fine and 2 weeks my pick

I actually missed what he said to the ref to get sent, does anyone know?

All I heard was someone (assuming him) screaming "We can still win this with 10!!!" which fired wests supporters up. 

Then later when ref stopped the game to send him into the stands (because he was still standing on the edge of the pitch) he yelled "Start watching the game ref and stop watching me!" at the referee. 

Thought the ref dealt with the whole thing quite well. 

So post-match and Papers should add another couple of weeks and some dollars?

Haha ah I see. I was in the stands so didn't see that. 

I was attempting to take the piss out of the FFA with the crowd noise comment, in case that didn't show through. 

I hear that on Saturday at UH v Wests game that Pedro and Lloyd or Declan (possibly both) were very close to getting their marching order from the sideline by referee Beattie apparently they were having a real go at each other. 

Think that was Lloyd. He has historical beef with Upper Hutt dating back to an U19 tourney. Terse words also carried on up in the clubbies.

Nobody too upset though. Just one of those things. Gotta love local footy!

Was actually just thinking. I've enjoyed watching the odd game in the last couple of local football seasons more than I've enjoyed watching the last couple of Phoenix seasons! 

Chatham Cup is miles better to watch than ASBP

True when players start getting paid , it changes everything ...*

* [ Some of this may be sarcastic. ]

And a bloody good job too. Should teach him not run his mouth and be a complete cock all the time (although I suspect he will never learn humility)

Isn't he only the "assistant" anyway? Lloyd technically still in charge?

Yeah, maybe Wests encouraged the ban...
