Mainland Premier League

Futsal & FDO shake-up at Mainland

Another new job at Mainland I see.

What are the total staff numbers now?

Look! It happens in other sports too! http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/sport/rugby-league/8986991/Knights-dumped-from-finals-over-admin-error

Interesting how they use sportingpulse and have to enter the player details. This would solve all the problems wouldn't it? Or create more?

It would mean someone at Mainland having to check them. You don't get that for a mere $800k a year. Used to be done by volunteers every week at a total cost of zip. Now we are so much better off. Tui billboard time I think.

The question would then be who enters the details?

The manager of each team as per what League does. The onus is on them to make sure they do it properly and all players are legit. Mainland can do a squizz at it on a Monday morning, check it off against players that are listed on the master sheet, should be able to get a good idea of who plays for who and it shouldn't take too long.

I should work for Mainland.

Ha ha you should Vim. Would make things a lot cleaner with less chance for clubs to exploit the fact that they just are not checked. 

I'm sure Mainland can make room at a desk.  They must have brought quite a few new desks lately with all the new staff.

Soon we will have a new extension to ASB Park to incorporate all the new busy bodies!!

It'll be a '5pm Friday send the email update the webpage and lock the door' type of thing so they can't get any complaints straight away. 

Yellow Fever never sleeps.

From the Mainland website regarding this weeks MPL games -

"If Bays are to be successful in their quest of an unprecedented third successive title they will have to record a good win over Coastal Spirit, building into their next round clash with Technical. Honours have been even between Bays and Coastal this season and the last three times the two have met in a Shield Challenge, the challenger has come out on top. Head to head: Played 8: Ferrymead Bays 3 Wins, Draws 2, Coastal Spirit 3 Wins Form: Ferrymead Bays L W L W W D Coastal Spirit L D L W D WPrevious Result This Season: Ferrymead Bays 1 Coastal Spirit 3, Coastal Spirit 3 Ferrymead Bays 2 Prediction: Nelson Suburbs Win"

Spot the blooper :)

Universities Points Decision

Upon consultation with New Zealand Football it has been decided that Universities will have all point losses reversed for the 2013 season.

While this has been a difficult process with much to decide we feel that it is only fair based upon the minimal error and as such have returned all points which were deducted. Furthermore as a sign of good faith Universities will start the 2014 season on +6 points.

This decision has not been made lightly, but we feel it has been done so in accordance with national guidelines.

This website, don't know it. Can it be taken as the truth what they print? Or just speculation?

The real question is - How's the fishing going?

Atleast one bite I reckon 

Damn can't delete it as others have seen it! Oh well onto a new page of the forum, no-one looks back......haha

I liked it. Never let truth get in the way of a good story I reckon.

That's how it should be on YF!

So 4-0 to coastal tonight then?

I read it on Twitter so it has to be true!

its a slow news day today kids - gotta keep us occupied some how

Wheres my news on Uni that was coming out.... its not here.  I so sad.

A load of bollocks obviously. 

Process Score: Ferrymead Bays 1 Coastal 0 - early goal to Russell Kamo (Updates thanks to Vim's twets)

Update: Now Ferrymead 1 Coastal 1 - Kris O'Neil

Update: 55 min gone still 1 - all

20 mins to go still locked up at 1 all.

Almost 90 mins gone still 1 - all Bays just had a goal disallowed/

FT Ferrymead Bays 1 Coastal Spirit 1 so Hurley Shield stays with Bays

With tonight's result will be a bigger game next Saturday between Bays and Technical as will also be a Shield Challenge.    

Spooky stat from tonight's game for Coastal Spirit: now played 60 PFL game for 24 wins 12 draws and 24 losses goals 88 for and 88 against and against Bays played 9, win 3, draws 3, lost 3, 14 for and 14 against.

Yes with tonights result Bays grip on the championship looks to be over, will now need both Tech and Suburbs to drop most of their remaining games for a hat-trick of titles.

Even if Bays win their last three games - Tech at home, Western away and Halswell at home they would finish with 44 points which would be the lowest numbers of points in a 21 game if the did finish on top.
