David batty to turn back the clock and run the match. I cant
make the game so please as much info as we can get on her post
match. Cheers
I imagine a full house at Centennial so about 500 tops.
Hmmm yes Olympic vs Wests is always a good hard contest - I think Wests will prevail if they hold there steel and as with every other team who plays Olympic, does not get caught up with the fanatical banter (probably the most vocal fanatical supporters around - intended as a positive) and focus on the game. Interesting that not many Wests fans comment on the messgae boards), but Wests have quietly been going around there business without too much hoo-haa which I suggest is working to their advantage. They too have lost some good players and recruited well with a good mix of experienced players and youngsters coming through chomping at the bit to get a chance with the 1st team - e.g. Marco, who has been in great early form, can't even find space on the bench and still doing it in the 2nds and a number of 17 year olds patiently biding there time. So could be a good year for Wests but hey thats been said before.... and they play Marist this afternoon for the Chatham Cup - could Marist be the GIANT KILLERS????? Time will tell.....
wow roy, thats a good size call... the depth at olympic this year
isnt all to great, unlike miramar who do have a strong outfit no
matter which way you look at it. so even though they had these
players out i would def say that the likes of raf, barrylewis and
shaun easthope would walk into miramars first team any day and to
lose these boys for this game was a major blow, we just dont have
the quality this year but for for you to say that dicey is a better
player than the likes of barry lewis is ludicrous!

Fankie Mac and Feverish - shouldn't you be covering the Phoenix and
U20s game ...LOL
Personally I believe the ref's in Wellington are biased towards
Barry Lewis. From someone that has played with Barry some of the
decisions he gets are sh*t. I truelly hope Olympic stuff Miramar
this weekend, and on that point I hope both Olympic and Miramar
supporters show this much passion and support to the Phoenix. Would
love to still be in Wellington to foolw the mighty yellow.
The passion displayed in this thread is almost enough to entice me
into gogn along to the game. . . Even though I support
neither team . . . Sounds like it's going to be a cracker.
less than 24 hours to kick-off - how are the nerves people?

Cloudy periods, few showers. Strong cold southeasterly. 10 degrees
MAX!!! wrap up warm people, lets hope the action is HOT to keep us
all warm! lets get ready to rrrrrrrumble
David Batty needs Marty McFly's Delorian to turn back the
clock that far.
I heard Miramar had 5 at training last night - are the all lost are they?
I heard batt� is a
old as Steve Jones mid to late 40's
Is graham little playing for Miramar again??
I heard batt� is a old as Steve Jones mid to late 40's
Is he french now?
Jones is late 30's apparently, but I think his weight is
getting to mid to late 40's (stone)
hey fellas, im coming on for my second post...chahoo!!
but seriously this game will be a game that olympic must win
to get some confidence back in the side. lately things having been
going right for us and thats all down to us, the players and
nothing more. refs all have moments in the game that are a bit
shady just like any player does, but to be honest no ref has been
as they way we have been playing lately.
im hoping that tomorrow is going to be a turning point for the
mighty wogs, hopefully alot of the younger greek boys put their
hands up, cos at the end of the day it is their club and no one is
going to do us any favours, expecially mirmar, but in saying this
it is always the game against miramar that lifts the level for both
teams.
finally i would love to thank all the rubbish talk on here
about the boys and their supporters. end of the day these
supporters are loyal as they come, in some cases just like their
fathers and grandfathers in the past. the thing that everyone must
remmeber is that olympic is an ethnic club, with hardcore
supporters that do get defensive when their team loses or when the
team is getting ripped into. sure we get players that are
considered 'merceneries' but they are there to help the greek boys
develop, and to ensure some kind of future at the club.
big game tomorrow!!!!!! i predict 1-1, extra time olympic to
win with a screamer from 50 yards!! also 2 red cards!!! haha yup
super
Miramar and O have along history and the games are very
competitive. The crowds are some of the biggest in WGTN. So go and
see this one its a must

You reckon Olympic has more history than other Wellington clubs?
i dont think olympic personally has a long history, i think we
were established in 1954 or something but i think what the big boy
was talkin about was that olympic and miramar have a traditional
rivalry that isnt matched at all by any other in wellington. the
history being the rivalry
ok glad you clarified
Aekara is a well educated man i must say.
Well Saturday morning, raining, cold and i cant feel my legs,
i think we can look fowad to, if not goals, bobsleds. Cant
wait.
hyperthetical odds? id be willing to bet on miramar to make some
good money back, the greeks wil no doubt slip over themselves in
this weather!
Rain clearing over Cenntenial Park, curtain raiser in progress so
ground will be well cut up prior to the teams coming
out.
Blue Sky now. See you all at the game.
Well...350 must have been hiding in the bushes then. More fool
them, as they missed a pretty decent game.
Don't think Olympic can blame the ref this time...
Miramar
3
O 1
Miramar 3 yellow cards - O o
Well it will be interesting to see what Olympic blame this time
about this game.
The Ref was all theres thanks to a week of giving it to them
on here.
Players out??Oh no Miramar had alot more players out of better
quality.
Watching from the sideline I think the better team won on the
day and that is a fair result.
Thoughts?
Go Marist as well.
I'd blame the conditions if I was them
crap game.
This is the first time I have seen the curtain raiser played
after the main game. Second team game had more football, and
was more entertaining than the "main" game.
Physical game today, as to be expected when these two teams play
each other. Miramar did indeed deserve to win, but it would have
been a MUCH better game if the conditions were dry. I can't believe
you guys approve of the ref's performance.. it was
shocking. There was a blatant handball in Miramar's
goalbox, but there seems to be a ban on giving Olympic penalties
these days.
Dominic "Handbag" Rowe didn't seem as much of a threat as he
did last time the teams played, but credit to Lupi for pulling off
a flip on slippery ground.
Where were all the spectators? Disappointing turnout for such
a big match
I think the ref was giving olympic a whole lot more than
Miramar.Olympic did well on here all week to help with that.
The Reserves games was very entertaining i must say and that
carthorse Steve Jones scoring another hat-trick??
focus on the west's game now?A cricket score or extra
time??
Mike E getting very angry in his old age i must say.
Dougs got it right, i dont think the ref favoured Miramar too much anyway.
I think we had spells in where we should of put away one or two.For the team we had we did well, 3-1 not a real reflective
result on the day but thats football.
And theyre is no way Miramar had better quality players
missing, better than Barry Lewis and Raf DeGregorio??
Graham little, Wiremu Patric,Craig Alderdice,Peter halsted and
those are only the NL players out.
sorry uncle steve never going to win that one.
Been mentioned about 5 times now but you guys never want to
admit that.
The ref was all olympic sorry.
Does dominic play with a hand bag really?
have to look closer next time.
wow roy, thats a good size call... the depth at olympic this year
isnt all to great, unlike miramar who do have a strong outfit no

lose these boys for this game was a major blow, we just dont have
the quality this year but for for you to say that dicey is a better
player than the likes of barry lewis is ludicrous! onto the game,
olympic were f**kin sh*te in the first half and we were lucky to go
in at halftime 1-1 a very well taken goal by neonakis out of
nothing. but in all honesty i think the second half was a lot
better by the boys, i think we got into the game and started
dictating alittle more play. in the end miramar show their steel,
last 20 minutes in both games we have played they have scored two
goals. and thats how it went... we got a young team this year and
at the beginning of the year the goal was to avoid relegation,
hopefully we succeed with that haha jesus!! we buckled a little bit
in the last 20 again, the second goal was well taken by
butterfield, they stretched us and went wide, woodside bets the
leftback crosses it, deffelction out to butters and see ya later
olympics dreams of chatham cup!! the third was f**kin poxy though
but thats that.
now we gotta look forward to wests game at newtown on sunday!!
hopefully we are at full strength to put up a good challenge
I think thats a fair assesment there

Alderdice is better than Lewis. Fact (sorry Barry)
Roy - how come the players you mentioned weren't playing then?
Shame Farrington wasn't playing - he is my favourite player ever,
and Keano is a close second.

Farrington has a chocolate hamstring

The boss gave us the day off to nurse hangovers
Had to go to womens footy today. Will try and video the
friday game at Porirua Park.
The ref did not favour Olympic, thats the worst call all season.
Like Aekara said Miramar have depth, Olympic do not so to us
without lose 3 players there was really no shadow of a doubt of a
miramar win.
As for Wests v Olympic, hopfully we can hold our own, well
have to wait and see on the day.
The
Ref had his hands full from all at times but like most of us he can
not see all at once. Each side will have a differrent view on every
decission. But Miramar had the most ball and better chances but did
not take them. The O goal looked like MR defenders got
in each other way and then left it to the other guy. But like
all MR + O battles it was a good one.
Alderdice is better than Lewis. Fact (sorry Barry)
That's alright Feverish. Dicey is a good player and
I think the move to Miramar is good for him.
I think Wgton utd is a good club but he seemed to be
wasted there along with the likes of Dom.
Will be intersting to see the Miramar line up once everyone is
available and who they end up sh*tting on from their current line
up.
Cheers Solely. Glad to see I have a few people on my side. I'm
first to admit I have done some stupid things on the field in the
past and have deserved some of the red cards but its just getting
frustrating now when 50/50 calls start going against you all
bacuse pf past reputation.
Hope you are still knocking the ball around up your
way??
