Mainland Premier League (Part 2)

Vim surprised you forgot to mention that Coastal's 4 - 0 win over Western was the 100th time that Coastal had scored in their 130th MPL games

CCL Results from yesterday

Burwood 1 ChCh United 3

Selwyn 6 Halswell 1

Waimak 1 Parklands 0

with the table:

Team	P	W	D	L	F	A	GD	Pts
Selwyn	2	2	0	0	9	1	8	6
Waimak	2	2	0	0	2	0	2	6
ChCh United	2	1	0	1	3	4	-1	3
Halswell	2	1	0	1	4	7	-3	3
Burwood	2	0	0	2	1	4	-3	0
Parklands	2	0	0	2	1	4	-3	0

The foot of the table looks identical to last years one. 

With all this fighting, headbutts and send offs out in the wop-wops it's a shame Parklands have stooped to Waimak's level. Oh well, is it any wonder when it is Wrestlemania week?

A fair reflection will come after 2 rounds I'd say

I watched all 4 games this weekend Vim, the worst display was the 20 or so middle aged men from the coastal train giving us a half time show. Not one of 365 attempts at goal hit the target, and there wasn't even a gk

I'd like to call bullshark on that. There was a goalkeeper.

You forgot to mention when the Parklands coach was on the bank he gave the referee the fingers when the referee turned his back to get in to position. And giving tactical instructions from the garden, not the car park. The law is pretty clear, maybe the coach/club should read the laws of the game. 

You know now that you're a Coastal player you're more than welcome to come and join us for the half time kickaround.

of interest, I was at the game Waimak vs parklands yesterday. Can someone tell me if I'm correct, once sent from the field as the parklands coach was, should he have entered the field straight after final whistle. As I remember (I may be wrong) a waimak player served a long suspension a few years back for only leaving the shed straight after game. Yes I'm an ex Waimak supporter now at another club however parklands and there supporters abuse of the ref was certainly not flash. No wonder there not many refs running around. 

Now I'm no Waimak supporter now, just a game watcher but I guess all you Waimak bashers will join the wagon

as usual mis informed 

as I said, just asking if I was correct. I never asked for sarcastic reply.

Don't worry. Broonies comment is meant for me I'm guessing.

Cheers vim, but im not so sure. I thought of aeroplanes as I replied

You can take the boy outta Waimak but you...

sorry onions only time I've watched a div cc team in 5 years is when we played then in cc or ec

So wouldn't know if you were mis informed or not, but the plane jibe reply hurt me

Pretty sure that's what Broonie's hinting at Vim, he wants to play in goal during those half time kick a rounds. This Friday would be highly opportune don't you think?

i apologise broonie. But I am sick of the bag waimak crap .hearing the language from parklands bench and supporters yesterday was terrible. First time I have watched them I  over a year. Then someone complains that a coach from Waimak gave some back to a screaming spectator in his face, pisses me of. While not a member, player or coach there but involved in a club elsewhere in chch, I know the effort the club is putting in to play with the big boys. Population growth in both Waimak and Selwyn will inevitably lead to mpl status, and its like the chch clubs wish to knock them down. The people involved don't need this crap. The players don't need it. Sure all clubs have thugs but only Waimak gets a reputation. Just bulsharke. Why does football allow this to happen.

1. Headline doesn't make sense
2. Nelson did not have a serious shot on goal in the first goal but had several chances after the break
3. Apparently Coastal had 3 second half goals and finished strongly.

One job.

1     They worked hard to earn that reputation.

2     It's only you that's bringing it up.

3     Football doesn't allow it.

Again another thing that is made up. The supporter in question was actually talking to someone on the Parklands bench, whilst she had her young son with her when the guy in question started swearing.

This supporter then tried to highlight that the language was not appropriate, especially in front of small kids, but the coach in question was the one that got heated. 

At no point was the female spectator in the coaches face and definitely did not swear.

It would be quite easy to name who the coach was, but I won't, although if Gaffa is who I think it is I will say that it wasn't him.

Whilst this topic seems to be bringing up a bit of discussion, of which we all know both teams were in the wrong over certain aspects, it's probably best to put this to bed now and allow Mainland to hand out the necessary punishments based upon the referees reports.

All a number of posters are doing is stirring the pot with hearsay reports that are wide of the mark.

you missed a bit vim 

Tech are chasing 5 n row not 4 ?

Sean McGarr coached Nomads side went down one goal less to Tech than the Hutcie coached Nomads MPL side.

More of Andy Bartons pork pies [or what ever] needed by the Nomads midfield, these Nomads lads only have to look at another player and they fall over.

If you are talking about the 2014 season then records show Technical won all three games against Nomads by 1 - 0 then 3 -0 and the final game 7 - nil.

Yes thanks for correcting me as expected you have the facts. 

Good to see that Nelson Suburbs have entered the Chatham Cup this year.

Hope they get Uni.

NZ Football have announced the following 'corrections' in a Media Release to the ISPS Handa Chatham Cup Draw released yesterday:

- Mainland; the game between Central Pirates and Richmond AFC has been cancelled; both teams will have a bye in the Preliminary Round

- Mainland Football; Western AFC were entered into the ISPS Handa Chatham Cup twice, this has now been corrected

Corrected Mainland Draw is now:

ISPS Handa Chatham Cup 2017 – Preliminary Draw on 25 April or the weekend of 22 – 23 April (Home team first, dates and venues TBC)

Mainland Region:
FC Nelson v Wakefield FC

BYES

Mainland:
Nelson Suburbs, Cashmere Technical FC, FC Twenty 11, Coastal Spirit, Western AFC, Nomads United AFC, Ferrymead Boys, Universities, Halswell United AFC, Selwyn United FC, Waimak United, Christchurch United, Parklands United, Central Pirates, Richmond AFC

Media release also included -

Mainland; Bucklands Beach AFC have been included and have a bye in the Preliminary Round

but clearly Bucklands Beach AFC are in the Northern Region

I really wouldn't have thought it would be that hard to get it right......NZF 

Yes seems to be a regular event in recent years.

Holy shark that is embarrassing. I felt bad when I got the tipping points wrong but this is actually someone's job. In fact, it must be more than one person's job as surely there would be someone checking what names are in the hat.

If this is how the national body run the game maybe we shouldn't be so hard on club administrators when they stuff up the registrations.

Vim there were also corrections in the Central / Capital region as well.

Just been advised due to the the weather in Nelson both tomorrow's game in the MPL - Suburbs vs. Bays and WPL - Tasman vs. Universities have been deferred until a later in the season - dates yet to be confirmed. 

Due to Suburbs flight time on Monday all games at English Park now pushed by 15 minutes.
