Good game with, I thought, Stop Out playing very much the way Grant Turner had been trying to get them to play. Match left with me with a couple of questions though...
 
Taranaki coach, Craig Graham(?), did a lot of shouting at his team. Started to think it was nearer abuse than shouting. Certainly he was a one trick pony. All he did was shout NEGATIVELY. I didn't hear one positive towards his team. His half time team talk was more of the same. Why do some coaches do this???
 
Stop Out's Andy Le Prou made his comeback from injury. Came on for last ten minutes and looked OK. Then he got booked for a bad challenge. It looked a red to me. What possessed him to do it?

Andy was probably just a little  bit nervious. It was a bad challenge and probably was a red .Jim Murphy used  good judgement and realised their was no malice in it from Andy and was just a careless tackle from someone who was a bit rusty from not playing all season. Tasker was on the sideline watching and if he had  been ref we probaly would have had both Andy and Alex sent off in the game as he seem to enforce the game to the letter of the law rather that base his decision on a incident bY incident bases.
 
As for the game itself it was a good victory for the lads . Standout performers were Scott Miller playing at right back , Captian Garry McDermott and Striker / midfielder Asone Walrond .

Andy's got as lot of abilty just a shame he hasn't got that extra bit on drive.  Fit and on song he'd easily, I reckon, be in the Team Wellington side.
 
Alec was a bit lucky as well. From where I was standing all I could see was ELBOW.
 
One of the fristrations of being "retired" seeing a guy like Alec playing. He is so whole hearted. Ninety minutes against him would be a real challenge.

Not related to this game at all but couldn't be bothered starting up a new thread for a quick question.
 
Did Palmy Marist have the likes of Robbo, Cowan etc back playing on the weekend or were the Hutt just really poor??

Oh man - the refereeing of Barry Tasker should be it's own forum topic, I'm sure people who have been unlucky enough to be reffed by him would have a lot to say. 
 
He's a shocker!

REALLY - Thats why he got to FIFA Level. Why don't you became a ref and show Mr Tasker how great you are, or better still if you are still playing volunteer too ref a lower grade match, post here and we can come and watch you, probably have a SHOCKER TOO.

Tasker's decision-making has always been ok (and v good by comparison to much of current crop)
 
BUT he has the BIIGGEST MOTHER F'N CHIP ON HIS SHOULDER - and, let's say, a "lack of player rapport."

Have to be careful here, as an ex-Wellington referee! Marius, I'd say you're spot on.
Barry was a very good referee. At least he was, usually, consistent and you know what you would get when he was refereeing. Always enjoyed being a linesman when Bazza was reffing.

i've been ref'd by Barry quite a few times and also bumped into him out in the community and he's just a normal guy. Sometimes players try to get in his face and come into games with the expectation he's going to be a w@nker and thats what they get. my dealings with him on the field have been pretty good, sure he's given me a few yellows (and not fever.....ba doom kish!) but they've been warranted each time and hes explained to me after games why he's made certain decisions.

now my disclipinary record aside, I think there is some lack of respect for the referees in wgtn. Barry in particular. the key to communicating with the man is to look past his ego and just talk TO him, not AT him.

thats my 1 sensible post for the day

Yea,the challange by andy looked alot worse than what it was but could of easily earned him a red.
once he gets his confidence back after been out for so long due to injury.he will be back carving up like he usually does.4-5 games until his 100th first team game at age 2-not bad.when hes on his game easily be in that team wellington pick and mix.alot better players throughout welly than half that team.
Alec's just a very hard /solid tackler and very passionate player.always good to watch.Helped stop out get into central league and still going strong.
Looking forward to next season better atmosphere in the club now for some reason-wonder why??
