Yup was him. He would be the one who slotted the pen against Buffon.
Graham Craven (our CB) should have be close but got borked on the first sunday game so may not have helped his chances.

After which their assitant coach told us 'you didn't deserve to win, you're not a footballing team'.

Don't worry 2B. Their players, coaches and supporters as a whole are a bunch of total pricks.

Obviously no one from East Coast Bays picked it as they win tournament and only get one representative. Some teams that dont get out of the quarters have two. It goes without saying that the majority of players picked should come from the two finalist teams or at least a strong representation. What a joke. It all boils down to who you know in these things, not who the best players are. Typical NZ football rubbish. Sickening.
Wow. How about that for uninformed rubbish.
For a start Analyser, the tournament doesn't have anything to do with New Zealand Football.
Second, the tournament team is put together based on a voting system. The coach votes for the other team's best player (in their opinion).
Definitely a flawed system leading to some funny picks, but nothing to do with who you know, or NZ Football. Also not exactly what I'd call "sickening".
Methinks you have a massive axe to grind.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Interesting picks. Bilani was average at best. Another sideways passer who got away with murder against us. Don't think Lawso was anywhere near our best player. 0 goals in 5 games as striker, simply unacceptable. Ross at the back for us deserves to be in there. Solid all tournament didn't put a foot wrong. Also wonder how much better Gleeson was than other keepers there.
Does anyone know how the team gets picked btw?
Much, much better than any other keeper there. By a mile.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Can't argue with you there as I never watch my own team take a pen.
Btw you could have done us a favour and drawn with Elleslie for us. It would have put us through.

Also sorry if i appeared rude by not coming to say hi after our game. I did see you but was just a bit upset after our game so thought i'd leave it.

Agree with others that Gleeson was the best Keeper there.
I also recall that Petone had no players in the Tournment Team last year yet also won the tournment and had players that deserved to be in it.

Hey Buffon that's a rather large statement. It's already documented on here your views against Forrest Hill and now you say something like this about another club. I can see that you are a proud supporter of your own club so maybe stick to being proud of Birkenhead and less envious of other clubs who gain success.

Jag - talk us through Wharfies scoring after 6 seconds from a set move off the kick off
The old kick it long then watch as the linesman flags for the ball going out then puts his flag back down again, despite telling us the ball was out. The old "the white lines around the pitch are only a guide, lino". Muppet.Made no difference, we weren't at the races anyway. Well done to your mob.
Unconnected to that, how diabolical was the refereeing in that satellite tournament.

Rovers were not a pretty team to watch, thats not what its about, We were effective in the way we played and thats why we got there in the end. So you can say we were woeful or rubbish or whatever. but it got us to the final.....
Better than 22 other teams isnt it??

I don't hate every club who is better than us. We also got beat by Welly U and Ellerslie but i don't complain about them or their fans because i don't have to.
Bays and their fans have proven time and again to be prats. Avi (their number 5) grabbed two of our players nuts throughout the game. Their coach is a complete w**ker. Their 'fans' are primarily made up of snobby rich soccer mums who are just asking for a ball to be smashed at them from two yards.
Also i find it ironic that their coach said Welly U 'didn't play football' when really apart from Dan Morgan their team was virtually the same, relying on a bunch of runners to get them through the weekend.

Who really cares about the tournament team. There is always lots of debate about it, but at the end of the day its a team game and the winning teams name goes on the Trophy. Who ever remembers the tournament team 3 months later.

buffon, sounds like a massive case of sour grapes. Bays won the tournament, hence they were the best team there over 3 days of football end of. These are small minded comments, you are accusing one of their players of grabbing players genitals, any proof or just a bitter strike out at a team that won the tournament. Further on that, its a physical game and "if" you have a pair they are going to get in the firing line every now and then. If you cant hack losing dont play, or even better dont lose.

Proof from both players who had their nuts grabbed. I believe them, why would they feel the need to lie? Can't just be because they lost, otherwise they would of made up similar stories in the losses against Welly U and Ellerslie, but we got beat fair and square in those games (dominated Welly though).
Speaking of small minded comments, suggesting that i don't have testicles is pretty weak and immature don't you think? Especially considering you don't know the first thing about me.

Buffon, your comments regarding Bays wouldn't have anything to do with Birkenhead forever being East Coast Bays bitches would it? 
It must start to wear you down after a while being continually beaten by the same club
Anyway i'll take the US1 premiership, u19 nationals and u17 metro league winners any day of the week

What a lot of bollocks you talk you twat!!! The best team won the tournament. Most of the Bays team are made up of their U17 Metro team who were undefeated this year. What has rich Mums (and you are also wrong there) have to do with a team winning a tournament. The club has also won the US1 Premiership two years running and the Chatham Cup last year. You don't what you are talking about. Ball grabers, which club do you belong to

I'd have to totally disagree with you. We had dinner at the same place as them on Friday night and I found the players to be a very nice courteous bunch of young men. Their coach spent a while chatting with us when he found out we were in Napier for the tournment. Me and my mate found him to be a pleseant enough guy all the times we chatted with him thoughout the weekend (they were staying in a backbackers beside our motel).

After playing against East coast bays I was not very impressed. They were fairly dirty with tackles and would appeal like crazy for absolutely anything. When anything went against them they would whine to the ref. Definatly understand the comment about the parents/supporters made earlier too...bunch of loud mouths. Their coach didnt feel we deserved to beat them and to be fair they did dominate play but in the end they werent good enough to break us down and with such short games its not that uncommon to pinch a goal and 3 points. Congrats to them for winning the tournament however. Too bad another Wgtn team couldnt do it again.

This is the unfortunate thing in NZ football. And before you get on your high horse Smithy I am referring to regional football (not NZ football corporation)
It all starts with the coaches who should be leading by example. Then the supporters start chiming in because they think it is the done thing to do. This is why we are short of officials in NZ.
Who wants to go out there and be abused by coaches, supporters and players?
It needs to be stamped out of our game. Perhaps they need to start sending coaches off when this happens to set an example. I dont know what but something needs to be done about it.

Think it was one of the Waitak lads that got sent off. The captain, I think.
BTW, before you start jumping all over me, I don't have an axe to grind against either team. I didn't see much of either of 'em during the tournament apart from the final and the quarter final I mentioned, but I thought ECB thoroughly deserved to win the final. I just found the sight of coaches, on both sides, going raving mad over the award of throw-ins quite funny.

Could not agree with you more.
And just to reiterate what 2ndBest said for me, the standard of reffing at that tournament was excellent. I didn't see a bad refereeing display the whole weekend (a couple of iffy ones in the sattelite tourney but even there not attrocious).
Just goes to show that there are good officials in NZ and if you get them all together in one place they go alright.
Special mention for Campbell Whatever-his-double-barrelled-name-is who did the final. He was good there but was even better in a very fiesty Lower Hutt-Central game where he resisted the urge to send players off and remained even tempered and calm despite all hell breaking loose around him. Thought he did well there even though he thought he had a shocker when I spoke to him afterwards.

Smithy, the tournament team is picked by selectors from the organising committee who watch games from the main draw, and discipline doesn't appear to affect the choice as at least one of the players in the tournament team got a red card !!
The player of the tournament is chosen based on the votes of the opposition coaches so you can get some iffy choices ..... like man of the match who didn't get on the park, although I guess you can't complain too much about the winner this year - and no, I'm not from Glenfield !!!
