College Football

Got told today he came back on..

We are coming first...

Oh wow can't even keep on topic

No offense taken.

College Premier table:

St Pats (Town) 9 (+6)
St Pats (Stream) 6 (-1)
Wellington College 3 (+6)
Tawa 3 (+1)
Pram 0 (-3)
Scots 0 (-9)

If I recall correctly the top three qualify for Nationals.

The two St Pat's have played 3 games while the others have all played two.

Apparently St Pats town are banned from nats this year :O

Why? Who banned who?

Yeah but only by themselves.  I predict they'll end up going anyway.

They behaved like muppets at last year's tournament in Masterton, including making some poor kid stand outside in the freezing rain naked with a road cone on his head for a few hours as "initiation".

Seems to be a lot of male nudity involved in St Pat's Town's initiation ceremonies.  Makes one wonder...

Anyway, the school's response was to tell them they were not going to tournament next year (this year).  We'll see though, they have a good team and could do well. 

My guess is that they'll say "oh well it was mostly the fault of the kids who have left so off you go."

Have to agree with your there Smithy. Would be a crying shame as this year's Pats team is a peak year and probably their best for 5 years or so and who knows when they will have another year like this.
Would be a tragedy if they did not go to Nationals. Apparently there headmaster is adamant they wont be going.  Mind you Stream were meant to have their worldbeating team last year and they came 17th at Nationals, with Wellington College's so called average class of 2010 achieving 7th, their best result in years !!

Funny old game is football...

(Coll 2 NPBHS 1 today in New Plymouth)

After the way they behaved last year they deserve a year off, good team or not.

And 6 of the best, but that's prpbably regarded as a reward, not punishment

Only if they do it to each other naked in the rain with a road cone. Oooooerrrr.

this headmaster seems like a dick. S*** going down with that ball and now this. Unlucky for Pats in a way.

So you think this is appropriate?  "They behaved like muppets at last year's tournament in Masterton, including making some poor kid stand outside in the freezing rain naked with a road cone on his head for a few hours as "initiation".

"Unlucky for Pats in a way"

They won't condone same sex relationships at their ball, or away on football tournament.

At least they're consistent.

Fair enough, id just like to see them go up and see how well theyll do, either choke like silverstream or make top 8?

yeah good consistency, but homosexuality is not a choice... 

Silverstream 1 Palmerston North Boys 1

How are the National Champs looking this year or was it played on such a watery s**thole that you couldnt tell ?

no no silverstream held up pretty well compared others... Palmy had the potential to do well but stream restricted them to play and pressed well. Stream dominating 1st half up 1 nil, could have been 3. Palmy getting there act together in the 2nd half with a goal coming from a follow up after a good save initially, unlucky stream. All in all fair game, but cant see Palmy winning nats again. Dont see how Pats town lost 2-1 to palmy though?

Yeah well I wouldnt have predicted they could win last year when I saw a pre Nationals game where they drew with Coll, who were all over them.

My prediction. The only full time professional team, MAGS, will win the Nationals, unfortunately. Doesn't it usually go MAGS,MAGS,MAGS, someone else, MAGS, MAGS,MAGS. And they will be smarting from not winning last year !

Yes. Next Wed at home. Stream on Monday.

Both good games to watch! interesting to compare results.

Today Coll 5 Pram 1, Pats 1 Tawa 1

Coll have Stream Monday and Tawa Wed,(was Palmy Wed but Palmy have Super 8 game this week)

AND Scots 3 Stream 2 !!
Dear oh dear oh dear.There will be much unhappiness in Doolanville with that shock result
Good on ya Scots.

Stream were shocking but remember they dont have their two best players playing

Doesnt mean anything really, heard when they both played they drew to the likes of rongotai, lost to tawa...........

Would have to agree. Today's game v Coll  will have a big bearing on the season and also where these teams are really at this season.

Where is that game being played?
And what time?Stefan2011-07-04 12:50:04

Coll 4 Stream 2

Sorry Stefan, didnt see your post in time to let you know where it was being played. I know Coll are playing Tawa at Te Whaea at 2.30 pm this Wednesday though.

Today's game was a bit strange. Pretty even first half, 1-0 to Stream at the half. Coll completely dominant second half. Coll without 3 of their most experienced players Striker Hillbron, midfielder Furnish and defender Grealish. Their striker Amir was best on park. Stream were missing Basalaj but he did watch the game.  McIntyre was going nuts all game (whats new)

hahaha, mcintyre for ya. Woudnt be suprised if streamers took the lower hutt approach

MAGS 1 - Kelston 0..... couldn't watch the game so can't say anything about it.
