Mainland Premier League (Part 2)

We play the better football so let him laugh. Cup final time! And not a cashmere player in sight. 

I'm sure there will be plenty of Tech players in the main match next Saturday - the South Island Championship. Also plenty of Tech players in the first curtain-raiser - Rita Fitzpatrick Cup final.

Can confirm that John Brown will step down as Cashmere Technical coach after the South Island Championship Final against Caversham next Saturday

Not known for my sense of humour. Should be a good game. I wish both teams well. 

Nice to see you and Shushy still fronting (as expected). The young wheel tappers and shunters seem to have disappeared as realism arrives.

Sad days. Mickey Sayers (jnr) past away. I remember him as a very good youth player in the Sth Island team playing with Craig Meaclem, Ali McCosh, Rod fleming etc. Made the NZ U20 squad. We went north and were unbeaten, great days.

Far to young to die. Look after yourselves you young ones !!

My thoughts are with his father ( a lovely fella) and his daughter.

Has there ever been a more successful club coach?

What a legacy he leaves to our very young club. Successes and memories that will live long in our great game.

John Brown: One hell of a sweaty!!

Amazing western stayed up having scored just 13 goals in a season. JB stepping aside leaves some big shoes to fill. Any good coaches coming through or right time for clapham? 

this lad came to see browner off today

Table showing points gained against the top 4 sides and the bottom 4 sides, with % plus the total % points won:

Yes the lowest ever total for a club not being relegated in a 21 game season with 20 of their 57 goals conceded coming in the last three rounds.

Having played in the same team as Broonie i'd strongly dispute this. Prick never moved from the centre circle or even broke into a slow jog, Definitely never got sweaty!

No point in looking at what you have done half way through the season and even worse, shouting about it.

Buckle down and try to get better through to the end of the season.

CTFC, NS, FM, FCT all with stronger last rounds.

All plaudits to Glen and the youngsters from FCT, great first time effort.

Lessons to be learnt.

Was it a lefty?

Below this o the table shows the Milestone points - 50, 100, etc and the number of games it took to great the milestone. A - means milestone yet to be achieved.

Eeeew! There are children reading!

Let the man brag! At his age they don't happen that often...

Experience speaking?

some absolutely fudgeing useless stats right there , point of complaining these other than to give yourself a handjob?

Duplicate post

Ill just leave this here Vim.... 

And there we have it. 

Coastal struggling to put the cork back on the champagne bottle, but to be fair I want to thank Coastal for creating such an exciting year. Made the noise and will get the respect of a potential title contender next season.

FC were the team of the season in the end for me. They can only get better from here. 

Tech showing their master class "locally" that was one hell of a strong finish to silence the critics. Experience takes the cake. Would have liked to see them lose for once.

Ferrymead to get the last laugh. GET UP! Super form team going up against bad form team. Perfect timing. I'll Def be watching the final. But I think you will find the final will have triple the spectators then the south island game after. Ain't that the truth. 

Wow about Fred's constant barrage of slagging. I thought I was the dick here. Is that really Fred Simpson? Shambles. Maybe he can be the one to eat his own words next season.

Be careful mate Fred hates to be told tht he is slagging. We'll have to excuse him though he's getting on in age.
