i saw nothing wrong with the send off and I was standing right next to it. Yellow for a two foot tackle on the end of a three metre bobsled ride, and then rather than accepting it he started talking smack after getting baited by the Tawa dude.

Come on man, I dont want to sound like im bitching over the referee but theres no problems with a hard challenge especially when you get all ball??? And obviously when you get given a yellow for a decision you know is wrong than you will get upset. Yes he is obviously better off not to say anything and 'walk away'. But to send a player off in the final for something so little I thinks bullsht. Watch professional football and look at the crap refs get but they deal with it. Refs are there to control the game...not kill the game!

That's one of the funniest things I've heard all day. It's as if refs are crap... but the football they officiate over, is just SO damn good. Yeah Right.
Pull ya head outta ya bum, being a ref is hard.
From what I have read here
1. Two footed tackle = reckless behaviour. IT NEVER EVER EVER matters if you get all the ball, if your actions are possible to injure someone because you have no control over yourself, then it's a bookable offence, getting the ball is not a defense, merely good luck on your part that the guy you were tackling wasn't quick enough to get the ball away, and for you to break his league
2. Refs in the premier league ARE professionals, and are paid to get a bit more stick. (Even then, they put up with far too much, and need to send off some of those overpaid lippy prats). Refs in our leagues, are all bar volunteers who do it for the love of the game. They do the best they can, and if they make what you deem to be a mistake (but to the letter of the law aint), don't blame them for it. No one rides a striker for missing a penalty nearly as much as a ref giving a mistaken penalty
3. Offensive language is a straight red, doesn't matter who you say it too.
And well said London Blue, very mature of ya mate

I think Olympic were unlucky not to win at the end of the day
In jimmy's defence, yes he didnt have a good game, but i like it how people only talk sh*t about him when he has bad games and are so reluctent to mention how well he played in the lead up to the final. Jimmy is a class act, yeah sure some aspects of his games need sprucing but at the end of the day he is a footballer, and plays his heart out for the club so well done jimmy and the rest of the squad.
Kills me to see, we lost, but it is only preseason and i know the boys will do well to show us what their really made of in the central league this year.
And before you go running your mouth about a 'not so good' Olympic squad, a) its preseason and b) tawa are in champs premier you stooge so eat sh*t.
Well done to tawa, kept their heads in the game, were able to take advantage of a dying olympic side out there and won.
As for the sending off, bit harsh in my books. Yes two foot tackle, yes he might of talked smack to the tawa player, and probably a yellow, but to so easily draw his second yellow over a bit of smack. Ridiculus. I agree refs in NZ arent up to the standards as such but i mean its the best we got. Check out the following video about refs, found it on the sun and thought it to be quite entertaining.

Ye all your hear from you guyes is how Jimmy plays crap, his coloured boots and how he thinks hes the best player in NZ. To be honest a lot of people dont like him because of the way he acts however on the football field he is one of the best. He is one of the most talented players. Hes scored various types of goals this tourny and a hatrick against Miramar which was quality. Many players in the olympic team believe he is not too far away from a Team Welly trial at least.
As for Hilton Im not taking anything away from Tawa and their performance by any means, just the referees display. It will be interesting to see whetha Tawa even keep these players or will they be taken by other Central League clubs perhaps??Founder
mick?
i thought he was greek?
ill get me coat
ps good luck to young Hellas in this weekends Culture Kicks!
Salmon swim upstream
Can guarantee that no one from tawa will change clubs unless they are paid a ridiculous amount of money. . . ie enough to make them quit their jobs
Ah, the return of the old "all NZ refs are crap" routine. I didn't see the game, so I can't comment on specifics but
Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

8 Years on Senior footy for me and never a card - why, cause I'm not a mouthy player who thinks he's bigger then the game

2007 Petone win Hilton Petone and get promoted. 2008 Wairarapa win HP and get promoted. 2009 Tawa win HP..........We'll have to wait and see.
Its no longer a problem.
Fuck this stupid game
haha well u keep watching your mighty olympic play and dreaming you could be out there..
tawa should have and did win,fully dominated 1st half,2nd half was even till a well taken goal from olympic then tawa got back on top didnt matter their player got sent off cause with all the corners and attacking play tawa were having was just a matter of time
bring on western suburbs in the chatham cup hopefully

Jamies tackle was in many respects fair and a good challenge, but if the laws of the game do apply and he did indeed go in two footed then by all means show him the yellow. But for giving the tawa player some smack and probably just venting his frustration, worthy of another yellow?
When i can think of two ocasions off the top of my head where the tawa players swore at the top of their lungs in front of the ref at a call and got shown nothing. If memory serves me correct, which it does, mikey halikias got booked for exactly that, last week for saying sh*t.
So lets stray away from the refs are crap and turn it into lets get some consistency into this game, we all know the nz refs arent up to standards in the central league and if you say other wise i plead you to come to the next olympic game and observe for yourself.
I know the next post is going to say, typical olympic blaming the referee, greazy greek, always cheating, but in reality we know as soon as you put on the blue and white you might as well accompany it with a big red target on your back and have your boots un-tied ready to make the walk back into the changing room before the final whistle.
I know other teams experiance this as well and being a ref isnt a easy job. I just want to make the point that I would like to see some better types of refereeing courses being taught, or a sort of programme improving the overall NZ ref's standard.
Sorry for the essay.
I crackup that alot of Olympic players and supporters always defend their players, then will often blame it on the fact that Olympic is always targeted by refs. Has anyone ever thought that perhaps it could be time to start encouraging a bit more discipline within the club or that perhaps this issue needs to be discussed further, maybe talk with Capital Football about it?? I can't think of too many red or yellow cards that I've seen given to Olympic players that weren't deserved. I personally think that good discipline is worth at least one goal a game to a team.
Good win to Tawa in the end, thought Olympics backs were lazy in marking Withers and in the end he scored the winning goal with a well placed header.
