Pre-season 2013/2014 - vs Phoenix B - Ring of Fire - Sunday

I would assume hes got residency but has another 3 years to go for citizenship

Are there fast track options in NZ???

Don't we offer residency to people who can fill high need jobs which our labour market can't provide, in which case surely this counts : )

Someone needs to call the ministry.

Wonder what his visa status is. He could be a NZ resident. It's a relativly quick process, 6-12 month. But to be become a citizen you have to be five year a resident (to my knowledge). Question, is a resident an import spot? Plan B, the Nix can't fill the import spot and Ernie give's him a go.

I see Brocks wasn't on the list that got a run

Yeah he'll need 5 years to not classify as an import

any word on the central league selection line up?

How come Daniel wasn't classed as an import after only 3 years? Always baffled me.

3? I thought it was 5. Ifill Is coming up on 5 and he is the same. I could be wrong through.

I don`t understan! Please tell me how one player (Williams in pre-season, Spoonly in last seson) it can play in two different clubs in two different confederations?

any word on the central league selection line up?

I like how on the Sydney FC forum they're playing down the loss because they were playing a 'bunch of trialists' in the 2nd half. Do they no realise that we had all our All Whites out and we were playing trialists as well?

I would tell them this but it seems like my account doesn't work on there anymore.

Well if that's a case then Ifill is not longer classed as an import. I know that's not the case. I'm sure if has to be 5 years.

Phoenix came into it is Season 3 and we are at Season 10. He left at the end of Season 8 and played 1 year as non restricted so that would make it 5 years.

That doesn't sound right. Residency, maybe?

4th question in citizenship calculator  Do you have residence status through Immigration New Zealand? 

With Daniel, I think the ruling changed after him - or he had some special circumstance. I can't remember exactly but was less than 5 years I'm pretty sure. 

Its 5 years for FIFA, regardless of what laws exist in what countries. Durante has waited 5, so did Daniel.

Daniel was eligible early(ish) 2012, Durante early 2013.

Think you're right:

He got it in a couple of years but there was a 3 year stand down period until he was eligible for the AW's.

Has the side to face the Pheonix on Saturday been announced?

Likely named this arvo.

Goals from the Sydney game...

1st goal - no idea what is going on.  I am just going to assume that Cunny beat all of their players and then smashed in a bicycle kick from the half way line.

2nd and 3rd goals - good to see us pressing high up the pitch to win the ball.  Positive signs.

Cory Chettleburgh, Paul Ryder and Tim Schaeffers from Miramar Rangers 2013 Central League winning side have been selected in the Central League Selection to face the Wellington Phoenix 

any word on rest of squad?

Watson.

Sign up fuckin everyone !
