Mainland Premier League

How come the 'Mak keeper was allowed to wear the same colour shirt as the ref? Have the rules changed?

Not sure we asked the officials if they wanted us to change it but the said it was fine. 

Interesting game coming up in the English Cup - 

Tue 9 Jul 
7.00pm Cashmere Technical vs Burwood U21, ASB Football Park

Good to see more clubs entering. How long would it have been since Burwood were last in it? Probably not since the days of Bobby McGrain 20 years ago. So are they a 'junior' club or not?

Don't knock 'em, they are doing good things. They have managed to get a decent amount of kids to form an under 21 team, however when that fell over they ended up in Div 4 of all places. They have a few junior teams and it's good they have some players that could field an U21 team. 

Just like schools, we need clubs in the community! (not these mega-clubs/schools!)

Wait, what? Someone agreed with me on this forum?

Maybe I'm not a dumbarse? Or are we all dumbarses?

Mid week melt down Vim? The town is going nutty due to a lack of football?

Don't get me wrong - I still feel the best thing that could happen would be for burwood to merge in with parklands so the north east has a decent sized club...but at the same time I respect what they're trying to do. They offer a footballing programme in a diverse area and have done for a long time. good on them.

In the meantime - our grounds for Selwyn are closed again so not much happening out there. Everyone going a little stir crazy

Ronaldknow you're famous

On his debut for Nomads, Smith scored "an absolute pearler" of a goal, according to Ronaldoknow, a commentator on the Yellow Fever Mainland Premier League forum.

How bizarre, I have a broken leg held together by pins and plates as well! 

Good luck to him, it was a very good goal, one of the best I've seen this season.

Adam Smith is absolute class. Was one of Nelson Suburbs best players before going to the US. Not sure why he's at Nomads though.

Anyone on board from FC Twenty11 as see their is  an International Transfer pending for a Jamie Watson, interested to hear were Jamie has been playing.   

Partner lives in ChCh. 

I've been mistaken for Tony Smith before, until they realised I knew something about football :)

Waiting on the cheque .........

Not a hint of jealousy is there haha?

I don't think any of my dumb-arse comments are print-worthy anyway. 

I'm ok with that. Know your limits.

I'm I reading too much in this from the clearence page:

Burnside Coastal Spirit Fullen, Mike Cancelled 2013-05-30   Burnside FC TWENTY 11 Fullen, Mike Pending 2013-06-27

Good to see in the local rag with the list of successful funding applications two interesting amounts for the year 2012-2013

** Cashmere Wanderers Football Club $1000
** Cashmere Technical Football Club $3500

Didn't this land them in hot water earlier this year?

They don't need to worry. They are about to get their second member on the Woolston workingmens club board. There is so much money floating around cashmere tech it might be an idea for other clubs to apply to them for funding!

Saw this on Mainland page. Waimak penalised further

$4000k for the club and another 10day suspension for a player

Wow.  Now that's a fine!

Mainland in for a busy lunch today..... Council have declared many pitches are 1 game only this weekend.....  http://www.ccc.govt.nz/cityleisure/recreationsport/sportsgrounds/closures/football.aspx

Just loaded on The Press On Line Website:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/sport/football/8854144/Waimak-club-fined-for-deception

Crikey - they'll have to pull some games again wouldn't they?  There just wont be enough pitches around town to accomodate.

Get a life! Resign Mike Coggan you are a mindless MORON!!

I hope Waimak take your stupid panel to the press and smash you through the courts, your processes are abysmal!!!

So what I"m getting from that is - You're not entirely happy with the outcome of the preceedings and disagree with the way it was done?  Is that right or have I missed something

Oh I can not wait till all the facts come out it will be great. There was no deception the guy that has been given the 10 game suspension was sitting in the changing room beside me when the incident happened the video shows the end aftermath of incident so basically the guy has been given a total of 12 games suspended for standing outside and yelling stuff. Wish I could say more but can't yet.......

Late Football Changes - Lots of games of.  My Div 3 game off.. go watch Div 1 I guess.

Not another $200k?!?!?!  Got some from CEAT, then $200k from Sky, then this one?

Surely it's a typo.
