Carlos Valderrama v Zak Galifiniakas in the battle of the big hair at ASB tomorrow. Weather may destroy both hairstyles before the 90 minutes are up.
I will be at Garrick. Cmon Coastal!
3-2 to coastal.
Mainland Premier League (Part 2)
Clueless as usual Shushy when does the train ever turn up against the mighty tech apart from their abusive supporters
Well aren't you just a wee ray of sunshine, Mr Zero karma! And we are only abusive if it is warranted, but for you I am happy to do a command performance if you ask nicely. ?
Should be a good game in spite of the weather, will the slippery pitch play a part? Shame about Nelson - Bays game being cancelled.
3 Nil Tech and that's at halftime

Fc 0-0 nomads
Have to commend nomads on the trial of a 7-2-1 formation.
From 10 minutes in the bus was parked and didn't really move to far .
Fc could have put away a few chances , and were unlucky not to walk away with 3 points

nice to finally beat CTFC
Did enough things right and a bit of luck to get home
Second goal was good football.
CTFC hard done by on a no advantage call late in first half, had to be play on.
Got very testy between the Bros and GK

Yeeees! One out of 3 #moving on up!
One of the better decisions ive made lately was leaving the tripe on display at half-time to head to garrick. Standard between western and uni was terrible. Probably a good idea never to have these 2 on friday night football if mainlands trying to advertise a brand! Cannot see either of those 2 beating anyone else apart from each other. 2 very, very poor sides. Congrats to Coastal
Match report up on Stuff already.

Several inacurracies but you'll get the jist of it.
#changingofthe guard
T and Zac were only marginally more outstanding than Louie, Camel, Eddie and the rest of the team. Bring on Monday.
And 1st plays 2nd on Monday in the late game, looking forward to it. Go FC!!
The Table is correct FC sit 2nd one point ahead of Tech and Bays.

Yes English Cup ties are set down for that day but imagine the thinking will be easier for the English Cup game to be played under lights later in the season and get the MPL game played asap as not many free days available and the latter part of the season depending on how Suburbs and Bays progress in the Chatham Cup.

Staying quite as instructed. Haters can hate. Omg I love following this club. Judt saying. Best ride ever. Can't wait for FC game. I'm THERE!! FC be a big test. More noise!!
I did say to you and vim slush 3 years ago that when you beat tech I'll be the first to say well done
Did you? Excellent.
Fantastic day out apart from the poor first half from our WPL.
Having supported this team in all its forms over the years this was our first ever win over Tech. Having sat through every skiting after-match speech at the WMC it was great to hear one of our own. A long long way to do however this was definitely a first.

I think the catalyst for Cashmere's resurgence was in part due to an 8-2? loss in an English Cup game a few years back where you had a convivial discussion with a staunch key Cashmere supporter at the end of the game Vim. Been a long time between drinks so to speak, the key being to keep progressing. Since then they've definitely lifted their game and it's right to say they have pretty much everything spot on at the moment in terms of structure, staff, facilities etc. Fair dues to their management team. Also JB he's always been a fair minded opponent and good for the banter. Good also to see other clubs like FC, Bays, Nelson etc trying to up the ante. There is still a gap between the ability of 5 or 6 clubs and the bottom 2 or 3 in the MPL which opens the door for aspirational clubs like United, Selwyn and Waimak. Once they get the formula right we will have cracking games like yesterdays every round for every team and won't that be awesome?
Speaking of catalysts, perhaps it is the fact that Broonie is now a Coastal player? He's brought the winning formula with him perhaps?

But how many headbutts and send offs were there?
But how many headbutts and send offs were there?
None in the game I watched beteen ChCh United and Waimak. United had to work ahead for the win, brought both the Dragons players off the bench early in the second half, bit of a hard watch.
Well after that cracker game yesterday, I can imagine it would be tough.
