Just catching up on all the goss while I take a break from writing my mum's eulogy :)
Yet again football appears to be the winner as everyone sets aside their personal agendas.
You can see why the game is going ahead in leaps and bounds in this country.
This outcome is clearly in alignment with the NZF decision to put a bus parker in charge of High Performance and the womens game, can't wait to see the next review that recommends girls stop running as much and put on 20 kgs as it makes it easier to fill up the goal therefore much harder for the opposition to score.
While I might be drawing a long bow in aligning these 2 separate but equally concerning issues my point is that neither reflect what is good for the game.
Here's a classic situation where a clear decision from Mainland was required to ensure football was at the forefront of people's thinking and they go awol, yet at other times they jump in and dictate where clearly clubs should have the say.
Leadership clearly lacking on this one I'm afraid.
