Marist FC - Capital 1

yes but the same rule still applies each team can only have 3 players dropped down. I think there is a rule that they cant drop down two many divisions how many I am not sure but you could drop 3 down to the 2nds, 3 down to your 3rds hence regraded and 3 to your 4ths hence regarded therefore technically having 9 first team players. Bit of a loop hole that a lot of teams exploit.

Both red cards were valid.

Whilst most of the Premier teams have finished their games, I believe that Wharfies still need to play Wairarapa (possibly due to postponement for Wairarapa being in Chatham Cup matches?)... so, they're not technically finished for the season.

Yeah the whole relegation issue is complicated by the Wharfies dream team doing well in Capital 2 and the possibility of Petone being promoted from Capital Premier which (I think) Means there are less relegation spots?  Although the new mooted 8 team league would once again change everything...

I feel sorry for the Karori 2nd team goal keeper getting the boot, replaced by a snotts goal keeper. haha

Does anyone know when the play off match vs Upper Hutt is going to be held? and if its going to be at 2 or 230?

I could understand Marists frustration, last weekend I end up marking Peter Halstead, this weekend he's back in Central League and still banging em in, apparently Cap 1 isn't enough of a challenge for him!!! ;)

Does anyone know what the rule is regarding dropping players down from Prem teams? Is it that it can't be done when the Prem team has played their last game, or can't be done when the Prem league is finished?

Id say the playoff would be a 2.30. Marist vs Upper Hutt. Unless Miramar lose and Marist win their last game.

They might make it a 2pm kickoff in case they need extra time and pens, although it's starting to get lighter at night now...

True never thought about that. I wonder what ground the playof will be at?

Happy Valley #2, its a beauty.

Also saw the Uni vs Wainui game. Yes they did get off to a flyer i believe all three of the goals came from corners two poorly cleared. Maybe Uni could of got a result as we were on attack basically the whole 2nd half but couldnt seem to put it in the back of the net.

i think i know you toe knee. i think you were the right back that was marking me?. you uni boys play some great football aye and streatch teams well and do not desearve to be that low in the table. our hole team is amazed you guys arent a mid table team with the way you knock it round. your center back and craig moore look alike wasnet as dominate as last time we played you and if it means anything to you i would rather see waterside go down as i think your a better team riise2007-08-13 23:31:03

Hey 2ndBest

That�s my interpretation of it.  Maybe there is a lawyer out there to clarify.  Maybe capital soccer are playing on the fact they first teams are unlikely to drop outfield players down as they would have to play two games a day.  It�s alright for keepers cos we do diddly squat.  I think they may have changed the rule sometime in the last two year, as I pretty sure the rule use to say that a player had to play two consecutive games to be regraded (i.e. a first team player getting dropped for two weeks and not playing a minute for the first team during those two weeks).

Correct 2nd Best,- i am surprize Wharfies did not drop their complete 1st team as thier second team is  " not very good " to be kind. If you have enough teams,say 3 playing at 12.30 , drop 3 to each, play 5 minutes, sub them off and they are avaliabe to be promoted back to your 2nd team, plus the 3 your can drop down [12 in total] to play the same day, Great rules !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but well done to any club that plays by the RULES, thats all you can do, yeah right.

well that's a stupid rule. Then why not just don't have the rule and just let the first team play for the 2nd, whenever they are near relegation.

I AGREE, Capital Soccer need to change this, but I bet they do nothing , as the the clubs voted for this in 2005 so I am told.

this sounds like a lot of fuss over a goal keeper. Their regular second team keeper has been injured all season.

So it all comes down to the clubs. That means if clubs that have good relationship with capital soccer is easier for them to change the rule to their advantage. That suxs then.

Feverish its not about the keeper playing for them its about the rule, if you allow clubs that do that then others will follow and what is the point in having those rules.

when a team has completed its� season, and is involved in a playoff, no further players can be regraded to that team"

the words "its' season" implies to me that a team's season is over when it has played its last league game, ie all teams in capital prem have finished their seasons, except for karori, wairarapa and UH

2ndBest2007-08-14 12:12:07

true, re read that rule and i agree with your comment 2ndBest wulfsteam2007-08-14 14:15:01

technically capital premier has not finished. . so neither of these arguments matter when it comes to dropping players down because wharfies or the premier league have "technically" finished.

Miramar 4-1 North Wellington, league winners thanks very much, combined goals of miramar 1sts and 2nds 2day make a perfect ten

we wainui lost out last chance to stay up today with marist going up 1-0 eairly on after a hand ball goal (appartently) then we pulled it back 1-1 then marist pulled out a stunner of a goal then ran away to win 4-1. our changes dident realy work which included changing our striker which was hard for the new guy to try slot in. i dident go the best sitting on the bench all game and watch 2nd team players go on infront of me. wish i had 2mins to try score a ripper and even it up but marist realy played awsome and run away very late in the game riise2007-08-18 19:48:09
