Waitakere United

Holy cow, Waitakere went down 3-1 to Tefana (Tahiti) yesterday.

Hawkes Bay 2 Waitak 1 - Jarrod Smith scores the winner 3 mins in injury - ACFC v TW a massive game now - will Waitak choke?

I think it hurt not having Lovemore on the right and Roy on the left.
But what an All Whites combo, lovemore and Dakota on the right & up front then Bevan and Jarrod Smith left and front.

So, no Wood, Kosta or Marco Edward?

Stunning result.

Nice to see some depth.
This result ends the one way traffic, like a coming of age for the NZFC comp.

So much lols in this post

6-1 over Waitkato.  That just about nails it for the season.

Waitak AcFc this Sunday, Waitak would need a 4-0 win to make up the goal difference & draw even on points.
Still, after beating Waikato 6-1, who knows what's possible.

They need a 2-0 win at go top of the group not 4-0 as both teams would have +2 GD and the would be top on goals scored
i made same mistake myself when i 1st saw it
Amicale have all but won Group A barring a 13 goal turn around in last round

You're right about Amicale too, they knocked off Lautoka 5-1.

Waitakere have been strong this season, but what about the final without Chris Bale? Hopefully it won't go to penalties.

Man, haven't been able to catch any of the games with work all weekend  frustrating as fk. Still, hope we can beat City, but gonna be a huge ask. Not sure if we can win, tbh.

Hey lads, couldnt find a thread about it, but waitakere are playing a cook islands selection randomly while im here in rarotonga... went and had a look at their ground, really nice, looks like a great surface and a nice stand - opened by temariii and funded by fifa im guessing?

Well obviously not much support for this team :)

Hi all,

According the Waikato FC thread Waitakere was downed by  Hawkes Bay 1:0 at Crown Park, Taupo. Milos Nikolic scored the only goal.

cheers

Waitakere vs Tefana 10:0

I am pretty sure  Krishna was offside, but the linesman on that side of the field was...not fit enough to keep up with the game...  few times. It would be nice to see replay.

Im not sure what was worse in the game the scoreline or the officiating!! The two linesman in the game were appalling at best. Not a good look for Nz Football. They missed many off sides and were flagging for fouls that weren't even there. The Keeper was sent off after Krishna was clearly 5 yards offside and ran through. Jan Hintz i think his name is, should be stood down for a couple of weeks, his performance shouldn't be acceptable at this level. No doubt Waitakere would have gone on to win the game anyway as they played some nice football and always going to create alot more but the standard of officiating in that game was disgraceful for long parts.

Waitakere won 1-0 at AS Mont Dore today, thanks to Chris Bale's headed effort five minutes before half-time. But they played the last half-hour with ten men, following Tim Myers' dismissal for a tackle from behind.

Currently owning Youngheart Manawatu 7-1.

Any feedback on this game? Rumour has it Rex was going spastic after the game Jeff Vader2012-03-11 21:58:58

If I had put cold hard cash into the game, I'd go spaso before the game. Might make a difference.

Anyone know who the contenders are for the vacant coaching position?

 

Paul Marshall

I'll call your Paul Marshall raise you on Shane Knowles.  Anyone with Chris Milicich in their hands?

A little bird told me Danny Hay declined the job.  So it's Marshy then?

Or someone else?

Paul Marshall scored the job according to the Herald http://www.nzherald.co.nz/soccer-football/news/article.cfm?c_id=86&objectid=10828484

 

Strange why it took so long is Marshall was the word at the start of August.

What will the impact of Rex moving on?

Chad Coombes to Waitak for personal reasons.

 

I think it will have an impact in the short term but like everything else things move on.

I would suspect it would be the Paul Marshall factor, because all his Bay O mates are there and he wasn't really getting a run at shit-teh because they got fucked off everytime he came on and just clattered opponents. They play a brand of football that his style just does not fit in with. Reminds me of Matt Fowler from years gone by.

Friendly v Tahiti cancelled due to crap weather :(
