How was it? Seems that Waitakere just coasted it and Otago wanted it more.
Waitakere United
The crowd is down as 200 ...must have included both teams and any livestock nearby ....
I doubt there would be room for him unless Shelley plans to play a million midfielders (Butler, Coombes, JHM, Matthews, the Thai guy, Manko)
but what?
Yeah... What are you trying to tell me?
Yeah... What are you trying to tell me?
Maybe you are full of it.
Oh absolutely Leggy. We'd make a fine pair if we were both gay :o)
I've not exactly ever talked up Waitakeres chance or team so not sure what he is telling me.

JHM Was only playing till Xmas..
is that due to his injury or just because he wanted to be fresh for Birko?
Probably because Birko is far more important.

looks like JHM is the one to make way - he has a pending transfer back to Birko from Waitakere.
Also Jacob Hall from WaiBOP is on his way back to Birko - hasn't played this season so just a formality I guess - although the transfer has been denied so maybe something going on there.
slightly un-related but Aaron Badwaker from Metro? to Canterbury United...
How long before Temple gets the chop? Awful coach. Complete imposter.
At least he has his skinny little tie and pants.
We agree on a few things Buffon.
Waitakere's decision to spend all that money on McGowen and not on retaining Marshall has really come back to bite them. The good thing is either CU or HBU will probably get a crack at the O League alongside ACFC.
Ian Hogg needs to get out of there quick smart before he fades into oblivion.

in my opinion acfc could do with him. why didn't he sign for them?
he wanted too ...not required apparently ....bloody shame
I asked that question a little while back and someone had said that Hogg was not wanted by ACFC because he still had pro ambitions and may not have seen the season out. Ramon wanted all or nothing.
Kinda ironic really.
It's sad to see both Hogg and McGeorge languishing at Fred Taylor. They need to get out of there quick smart or it will stuff their ambitions to play at a higher level. The lack of enthusiasm on the field speaks volumes for what's going on within the team's ranks. Getting rid of Marshall was a disaster for Waitakere and it's going downhill from there.

Lots a dumb decisions at that franchise. Bult and latterly MacGowan just prove they have no clue about football.
I agree with Hogg needing to get out of there. McGeorge needed game time but is still quite limited and is a liability in making a tackle (usually a booking)
The reason why Marshall left was that Waitakere could not sustain the player budget from last year. They had to cut their costs because they were in financial crap. Marshall didnt want to a accept those terms
What they are paying McGowan would be far less than the player budget from last year
The decision was purely a financial one.
that is logical, but doesn't make complete sense
pearce is back, so only scott, de vries and krishna have really left.
to offset this, cardozo and lowden have come in
assuming that the new guys are paid less than the departed as you suggest, that means that two good players have been replaced by an administrator
They lost Bale, De Vries and Krishna and gained Cardoza and Lowden, not to mention Hogg and McGeorge. I would suggest their decline is due to the team's management. Had Waitakere not spent all that money on McGowen and put that instead into keeping Marshall and his assistants, and incentives for players, the club would be getting much more out of their on-field talent.
On the other hand I'm happy that both CU and HBU are taking the opportunity to push for an O League place alongside ACFC. Both these sides have good support and good facilities, unlike Waitakere. It's an embarrassment to have O League sides have to play on what's merely an open paddock at Fred Taylor. Waitakere's neglect in developing its facilities has always been shameful and flouts the original NAFC rules that stipulated a covered stand. Mind you WaiBop and TW flout that too, with equal lack of fans to match.
An average of 500 at Waibop games, I'd hardly call that a lack of fans. Heard there was 700 at last weeks game although I guess that's what you get when a marque team turns up.
