Harry Smits has the Nomads lads and more so the young players stepping up to the task of trying to keep them up.
I hear he will need a few more young ones for next week as several regulars are away, school holidays?
Dominic McGarr played his last game in the win over Nelson, he heads off to the USA in a couple of weeks.
From the Nomads v Halswell game on saturday I've heard from both spectators and players that Matt Smith of Halswell gave Stu Cox [the ref] a gob full of f... o..s and only got a yellow, that really gets respect for you as ref, by no one.
Give him a Red and lets all others know it wont be tolerated and what about Mainland Football getting tough on this sort of abuse Stu didn't help that either.

Which college is Dom of too? Maybe zero tolerence for abuse might help. Its a bit like holding in the box during corners/free kicks, if people were punished then eventually they would stop. Have given a few non-constructive comments to refs on many occassion so know I can't talk but its getting a bit ridiculous that more time spent hearing about spats with referees than the actual football.
