Football Central Capital Premier Thread

Ouch

Mar 0 - Miramar 0

Fair result - I dunno, could have been 3 all aswell. Miramar play a fast physical game, and their keeper can kick it about 80 yards, it's ridiculous

Don't think I can to be honest, I only played half the games that season. It was hard having 2 player coaches. The results weren't there fault though, as without them playing the scores would have been worse and relegation confirmed sooner than it was.

Personally, I did sense a reluctance to release players to play in the 2nd team last season, but as i'm not at the club anymore I'd best not comment further.

And yes Mason to Stop Out, good on him I say - he gets nothing but abuse from his previous club coach, often more abuse than was warranted.

Against the rules?

You have a strange conception of what a reserve league is.  A reserve league is specifically for the reserve teams of another competition.  What we have is a bastardised system where reserve teams are allowed in a "Premier" competitive league.

Agree. It's not reserve as not all teams in central play in prem. That alone places a different biase. Safe to say if you have team in cap1 and prem then that is more of a reserve type relationship than central to prem which are very different competitions both in region and format.

Watched Wests vs Stopout today. Pretty streched game but i thought stopout were worth theyre win.
That Micheal Fifi was class throughout the match, saw him scoop a player in the corner and Stopouts right back didnt quite catch his name was class also running at players for fun.

Very tight at the top of the table, by the looks of things.

Are you still on about this? And if in a few years there are no reserve teams in the league � will it then still by definition be a Reserve league? It has to be one or the other.

Smithy, let it go son.

You two are both missing the point, willfully probably seeing as it's an issue close to your hearts.

massive backtrack. job done.

And you did say this. Good to see lots of people backing you up. As Buckle said let it go

Was that the Wests no.10? Who was that kid? Looked like he was just walking around lost for 90mins

Yeah i know who Fifi is, i meant did he scoop the Wests no.10

Nope.  Gowan was No. 5, and, (though I may be a little biased), played bloody well screening in front of the back three getting stuck in, breaking up the play, working hard covering along the defensive line and winning the majority of balls in the air - essentially doing exactly the job Lloyd asked him to do.  Jordan Valentic-Holden was man-marking Fifi and in my view did very well all game considering who he was up against.  Sure, Fifi was class, very tricky and did cause Jordy some problems but I thought all up Jordy did a damn good job on him for a 15 year old - he competed physically very well.  Given that there were 3 other 15 year olds in the team (Gowan, Jake Harris and Josh Finch), as well as several others only one or two years older, I thought Wests competed pretty well and played their part in a decent game of football. 

First half was pretty even - we had a number of really good chances to score and for large parts of the half, were in the ascendency.  I felt when the Stop Out goal in the first half came it was a little against the run of play.  2nd half, Stop Out came out with much more purpose, showing their extra experience and we were under the pump for large parts of the second period.  However, even then, we had two or three good chances to score but didn't.  Overall, Stop Out deserved to win.  They probably deserved to score three based on the chances they created (although I thought the penalty against Joe Harris a little bit harsh) but we certainly deserved to at least notch a couple and make it a closer score line.  However, we didn't so 3-0 it is.

good review OB

Cheers Neil.  Good result for you blokes on Saturday (even though you didn't manage to make it to the end of the game, so I heard! )

that penalty was as blatant as they come, calling that a little unfair is just nonsense

OK mate - I just called it as I saw it from my position at the half way line.   It just looked to me as if Joe had got a piece of the ball as well but you obviously had a much better view of it than I did.

I was standing 70 metres away from the incident and it looked rather blatant and the handful of people on the touch line seemed to agree it was a penalty. Each entitled to their own opinion though.

I guess at the end of the day we can agree or disagree till we're blue in the face.  The only person who's opinion mattered on the day was the ref and he gave it, so it was a pen.

Might even shout you a beer if you pay us a visit!

The Prem League is really heating up with a third of the season over.

WU keeper Sasha subed at half. Any gos on what is up?

I agree youngblood its great for the league to have such good competition and also the clubs' and their suppoirters.....hopefully it will bring more to the sidelines to support their players each week.

Wellington united are looking really good. Tough team to beat this year.

I think Sasha had a back injury. Don't know anymore than that.

Jamie is just as good so no worries there!

STop Out To Win The League!!!
What anyone think bout that?

hip injury. no one is worried, Mckay is class

Any reason for your answer or just a shallow no?
Im pretty sure any team with a strike force of Mike Fifi and Jake Theron will go pretty close to winning Football Central Premier.

I thought United looked very good on the weekend.

If they play like that every week, they'll be hard to stop.

Boxhead is right Numpty. As long as they have Batts pulling the strings they will be tough
