Mainland Premier League (Part 2)

My bad should be:

Cashmere Technical 2 Parklands 0 and Coastal 2 FC 0. Will ammend orginal post to avoid any confusion.

FC2011 drew with Nomads and beat Bays, Western and Uni.

If it's the full seven round infringement they are 6 points bottom... Surely not... Bays would go top lol. 

would be a -27 GD as well. So would surely have to not level points with whoever finishes 7/8

This if true is massive news. Very disappointing really. Let's hope it's not that bad. 

Yes and if it does effect all rounds will piss of a few goal scorers as well as are all the goals scored will be null-invoid and games recorded as 3 - nil wins to the opposition with all goals recorded as own goals?

Own goals could would win the Golden Boot.

Any one at today game between Suburbs and Bays shed any light on the ref leaving his cards in the refs room at half-time and having to return to the room during the game to get them to card a player.

Surely I heard this wrong.

Can a ref receive a card for time wasting?

Not that it changes the result but the HT score Selwyn v Western was 0-4.  Best you don't do FC's transfers either. :p

Yes in the past Mainland used to also check all players in MPL teams before season start and let clubs know if there were any that were perhaps ineligible to play (still not a guarantee but helped). Hasn't been done for a few years now.

I don't think it's all games that are at stake, however I agree with the flaw in the process. Why has it taken so many rounds to find out there is an issue which therefore means so many things are at stake?

As much as I also hate to say it, Bays deserve the Shield back. If the the points are reversed due to illegal players so should the shield.

FC will be right, they still get to play western a couple times which is easy points and will help level out the goal difference

Oh good. That is a weight off my mind then. As you were.

Made the trip up to Nelson to watch Coastal and Bays game. This is correct ref left cards in changing room at half time about 5minutes in went to book a bays player searched every pocket before realizing he didn't have them. Fourth offical had to go back to the sheds to retrieve.

Last season a Youth D1 Grade winning side used a player in every round despite it actuall saying on the Mainland Website **** ***** is not allowed to play. So maybe the checks are only when another club rings up and complains.

Why should CTFC  miss out on +6 goals? That's bullshark for sure. 

I don't mind paying affilation fees. I do mind clubs not getting very basic process clean. Player eligibilty surely falls into that realm.

I will lose my shark if this happens to us. 

Who is new to FC2011 MPL that didn't play for the club last season? Which of those players isn't on the Mainland clearance page?

(If any) 

he is not on clearance page

well, yes. Which looks like it leaves Mainland no leverage.

@Gunnersaurs, did Anton play in the 4 rounds FC got points?

1. "8.4 In the event of an ineligible player playing (taking the field as player and participating either in full or in part of a match), the following sanctions will apply:
   1. 8.4.1 The offending team shall be sanctioned with a forfeit and will be considered to have lost the match by 3-0;
   2. 8.4.2 The opposing team shall be awarded the points for the match. If the goal difference at the end of the match is greater than three in favour of the opposing team, the result on the pitch is upheld; "

So the sanctions apply to all matches in which the ineligible player actually took the field (not merely being on the team card). If the player actually took the field in all seven matches to date, all match results would be affected, not just the 4 from which FC gained points. And the CTFC result would stand at 9-0, which would produce:

I've only seen them play a couple of games this season incl the win over bays and he has been ever present for sure so i'd assume so

Cheers Gunner despite not being good news. 

He never against the might that is University so shouldn't lose points for that game!

I heard it was Bays, Western and Nomads.

so a double whammy of bad for Uni

Vim can you confirm if you heard this at the game yestersday or at O'Shea's 

Um, why does this matter?

Obviously if it was heard in O'Shea's it is from a more reputable source

That the place for the CS stop the press stories.

from the Mainland page--Y09 Shows a lack of respect for the game.

What tackle gets you this YC.

Do you get this Yellow Card by advising you're going to play Rugby??

Next round next for ISPS HANDA Chatham Cup Draw (from NZ Football's twitter feed) - to be played weekend 13 / 14 May:

Cashmere Technical vs. Western

FC Twenty11 vs. Coastal Spirit

Ferrymead Bays vs. Selwyn

Nomads vs. ChCh United

Parklands vs. Halswell

Waimak vs. Universities

FC Nelson vs. Nelson Suburbs

Central Pirates vs. Richmond AFC

Sorry Vim, just seen this. Reason I asked was if at the games then source likely from someone in the FC camp or a referee if after the games, as don't they (the ref's) met at O'Shea's after their games for a drink.

FC V Coastal 3 times in a month

Vim I have added a message on the top of my picks - please read.
