Yes Uni Mt Wellington no longer a power house either

Could be a good fit. Stu still a very good player with a great engine. Certainly covers more ground than some MPL midfield / strikers. Halswell also needing to replace their FDM.

Fdm role is the reason for the move apparently. be interesting to see if he was to fit straight in, halswell would seem to be doing ok thus far. The old transfer page updated a lot quicker than this new age and user friendly system did it not??

Where would he find the time?

Already busy running a business, coaching and playing at united. Where is the time to over see a club programme.

Only available coach locally is Tetso. I wonder if he's been approached

Alby still does that each weekend at Canterbury United in the summer and I saw him down cheering on/bagging at Nomads the other week.

Yes those were the days.

Sunday was a busy day back then in the early to mid 80's:  English and Scottish Football results on National Radio at 9am, Big League Soccer on the TV at mid day (if I remember right) then rushing to catch the bus from Bishopdale to QE2 for the Christchurch United game in the national league!

ah memories,..

Uni's programme this week confirms it. I've always found it weird that Neilson are happy to play players who they only see on a Satdy.

Cashmere Technical created another record yesterday when winning 5 - 1 over Bays - the fastest to net 400 MPL goals

Technical reached the milestone in their 136th game, Bays the next best in 175 followed by Suburbs 200, Halswell 220, Western 227 and Nomads also reached 400 goals earlier this season in 253 games.

These are the only clubs to reach 400 goals with no other team currenty over 300 goals.

Surely not over yet. This is not the season. This MPL competition is only a lead into the South Island competition and the cups. Having said that, it was a hell of a game by Cashmere, the best I have seen in the last 2 or 3 seasons, in this form they will take some beating. It appeared a quicker game than some National League games and featured some quality young players on both sides. I am quite excited about the rest of the season, hopefully the southern challenge will mean some more quality games and Ferrymead will have better days. Great result for Nomads, Now balanced the books 5 wins 5 losses.

Nelson need to go to finishing school. Both sides had a truck load of chances Nomads 2nd goal came after Hoyle was at least 2 metres offside before his run on goal, hope Nomads gave B.C. POD for that onside call. Reckon  I was closer to in line than the AR.
Good to see Dom McGarr getting on the score sheet again, how many goals has he got for Coastal 5 or 6?

Do you remember the Saturday Sports Paper at night - had the local results.  Usually at the local dairy by about 7pm.  Even had player of the day for Junior players for Canterbury Football.

Yes sure do. Was available from 5.30pm if printing on time. Always had a report on each of the top local football games plus National League preview of the Sunday match for New Brighton and some other local team.

Everyone makes mistakes, but in the interests of good PR the mainland referees should make comment on this one!

The deepest defender is in line with 10 yard centre circle and the goal scorer is at least a yard or 2 beyond that point. Obviously a good margin offside. Wouldn't it be refreshing for a referees spokesman to come out and say, "the decision to play on was wrong and errors like this were taken seriously by their organisation. We would like to apologise to Nelson and ensure appropriate training and follow up was available to the officials concerned to ensure errors of this nature were minimised in the future." 

Would this even assist with their respect for referees campaign?

P.S. Wasn't the referee in a good position to over rule his AR?

You might find that referees do sometimes explain/apologise in person after the game. A formal public apology may be pushing it a bit.

I've been known to aplogies on that rare occasion that I get a call wrong...

I'm an optimistic pessimist. 
I'm positive things will go wrong.

Should've been able to see the ARs foot in this photo if his positioning was with the last defender and not the striker.

All teams playing without an official ref would be pissed if the person on whistle duty got that one wrong.

It's so bad you don't need to go to Tuesday night refs school to see that and call it correct.

Was noted by all the spectators from both sides how bad the call was.

Lets hope the AR gets sent down to ref Masters grade football for a few weeks to get his game on :-]

with all that green space i'd be questioning why the player playing the ball's only option was that ball over the top to a player in an offside position :)
