No Bombs, but Expectorations 

Maybe Mike Fridge and Richard Murray have not had nail 

bombs delivered in the Post - as Celtic manager Neil 

Lennon did recently, but we still have our share of nutters 

around 

Recent wild actions on the park highlight the need 

for personal discipline if a player wants to do the best for his 

team and club. Bad enough a set of stud marks in the 

chest, but also for referees to be spat on - does no credit to 

local Football. 

Spare a thought for Match officials who do a 

thankless job. Referees do not benefit financially from 

yellow and red cards – they are not tax collectors in disguise. 

And as Club Treasurers well know - cautions and send offs have financial 

consequences for players and clubs. Under Regulation 7 of New Zealand Football 

there are standard fines, which shall be imposed by all federations: $25 for a 

caution, and $50 for a send off and an automatic one playing day suspension. 

For violent conduct including spitting at an opponent or match officials the 

player automatically gets 2 days suspension and a fine $50 for each playing day 

suspended. In these circumstances players may also have to appear before a 

Disciplinary Committee. 

A player who accumulates 5 

cautions during the season is 

automatically stood down for one playing 

day and, if you get sent off for a second 

yellow, the two cautions count towards 

the 5 plus the one-day suspension for the 

red card. 

A suspension is a ban from taking 

part in a future match or competition and 

attending it in the area immediately 

surrounding the field of play including the 

technical areas and the dressing rooms. 

So there.. and Expectorations ? 

Used to feature on Edinburgh public 

‘Spit him out, Wayne ! This is just 

practice. Save the rough stuff for 

the real match.’

Burgee Lights It Up At Tahuna 

Bit of 

Our boys travelled to Tonga Park for a top Burgie of the table encounter with 

Caversham, and by the final whistle Technical leads style the FPL by a clear four point 

margin 

Caversham scored first with a well taken shot past young Michael 

Walker, we immediately struck back with a fine goal by Judder. 

Into the second half we took control of the game and finished the 

stronger with goals by Coby and Burgee. Coach Fridge given the luxury of 

emptying the bench towards the end. 

It was very disappointing that the game was played on such a 

substandard pitch, to hear that players had to cut the grass themselves on Friday 

night seems 

unbelievable. 

Next 

week we say fair 

well to Coby, 

he has been a 

fantastic servant 

to us and we are 

hoping for a big 

crowd to witness 

his last game 

which will be 

against Grants 

Braes at Tahuna 

- get along to 

Wonder 

say farewll,

The Prems clinically dispatched Grants Braes 5 zip at 

Ocean Grove. After a good performance last week Wal and 

TVG would have stressed the importance of backing up 

week in week out and the lads delivered. 

First half goals from goal a game Govan and the 

Ginga Messi put us in firm control at half time. With the 

keeper out of position Messi bent his shot around the keepr 

to the far past with great skill, but most punters behind the 

goal were wondering why he didn’t just roll it in the near post. 

Second half saw Roslyn dominant, a superbly 

executed training ground move saw Sam guide in Ajay’s 

excellent free-kick. Wal provide a master stroke bring Mike 

Still on who scored a great goal with his first touch, 

reminding some of the old faithful of one of Roslyn’s greatest 

goal scorers Barry Still. 

Grants Braes frustration showed with arguably their best player sent off for what 

was a rash challenge at best, although the game was generally played in good spirit. 

Roslyn pushed for more goals and got one when the Ginga Messi was involved again 

when he earned a pen after being down was hauled down after round his man. 

Ajay stepped up and emphatically smashed the pen home. I missed speeches 

so missed who man of the match was, James again played well upfront, the back four 

Frodo, Captain Caveman, Sam and TC were class. My pick was Ajay though who slotted 

into the middle of the park after a week off and along with Sam dominated the game. 

Credit to Grants Braes who in patches knocked the ball around well and had a 

never say die attitude which will no doubt reap rewards, and just for a change Kudos to 

the Ref Hamish Philip who did his best to let the game flow. 

Also good to see a large number of Roslyn Morts make the trek out to watch the 

game which reminded me that preparations have begun in earnest (or is that Ernst) for 

the club’s 125th Anniversary celebrations to be held at Queens Birthday weekend in 

2013, watch this space. Giddy Up.

Golden Gloves Award - and its No’ Boxin’ 

FIFA has only recently added The Golden Glove award for 

goalkeepers, and in fact may be the only football entity to 

finally recognize a goalkeeper’s great worth. They are ones 

who save their teams from sometimes total disaster. Maybe 

Fsouth should have a Yellow Polo Award ? 

Its worth thinking about 

some top locals Jim Taylor, Lutz 

Pfannenstiel, Neil Mackenzie, Rod 

Renfrew, Grant Mawston, Gats 

Urquart... all those guys with the 

predatory gumshield jawlines..

coach Tony Boomer. 

I’ve sprinkled a few pics here and on the next 

page. If my battered body is found in an alley - it was probably the goalie I forgot. 

Edwin van der Sar claimed the all-time British record of 1311 minutes 

without conceding a goal. Here’s a few stars - and did you know when the great 

Gordon Banks once played for Otago ? Blair Davidson will give you that 

answer. Then there were the greats - Lev Yashin (USSR), Banks 

(England), Peter Schmeichel (Denmark), Iker Casillas (Spain), Pat Jennings 

(Northern Ireland), Guillermo Ochoa (Mexico), Ronnie Simpson ( Scotland), Petr 

Cech, Shay Given, Ireland, and Rab Smith - yes I once went into goals. 

Our keeper was injured, so at halftime I went between the sticks. My first 

action was the Penalty awarded because our coach did not inform the Ref of the 

change. Tsk, tsk, its not easy between the sticks.

With absolute fairness, I agree with Spirits Barry Gardiner, it 

would have been cruel for either side to lose this match given 

the absolute frustration and confusion both teams subjected to 

over the 90 minutes. 

While we started slow, Spirit were simply given too 

much space to play, and perhaps should have gone ahead on 

their own merits with more composed finishing, however it took a 

penalty decision to give the home side the early lead, and noone 

knows what the penalty was for…no-one….again….NO- 

ONE knows. 

This did however open the game up a bit with both 

sides looking for ascendancy, and it wasn’t long before Matt 

Small found himself a yard or two of space at the top of the box 

and neatly tucked his shot top left corner for an equalizer. 

Following shortly after was a Rovers team pressing high in 

defense and finding the spirit error, Darren Mills pounced on some loose ball in the back 

four, and quickly found himself with only the keeper to beat, which he did, ahead 2-1. We 

climbed back into this match well and I think deserved our lead. 

The 2nd half kind of repeated the first, spirit starting a bit sharper, while we again 

wrestled some late ascendancy, sadly for us, a good save from Darren Hill in goals, 

rebounded off the cross bar, only to be neatly tucked away by a spirit attacker. 2-2. 

This match totally lacked control, while both teams went about their business, 

eventually six players were cautioned.... But worse was to follow when a penalty was 

disallowed for encroachment, and a goal kick awarded in lieu of a re-take… Extremely 

hard to understand. 

Nonetheless, a point in Invercargill, we’ll take it and look forward to whatever 

challenge Mosgiel has for us next week, in what I know will be another fun afternoon! 

Oh, and Rab, can we not mention the number eleven again?!, it’s officially a 

cuss word in Queenstown now. ( agreed, Rab )

Referees, players and coaches make mistakes. 

We are all human, and in the heat of a game referees cannot reach for the 54 

pages of the Laws of the Game and the 82 pages of instructions to referees. Decisions 

are made, mistakes are made, and we have to live with them. What we can do is ensure 

that we learn from the mistakes as referees and hopefully not repeat them. It takes years 

of practice. 

We also want players and coaches to understand the game better, so to help in 

that process “Ask a Referee a Question”. On the Footballsouth website under the 

heading of Referees there will be a section where you can submit a question and 

receive a reply based on the Laws. The questions and answers (minus the names of 

those asking) will be printed in the weekly match programme if space permits. 

So, what about that Penalty Kick in the Spirit v Queenstown game on Saturday, 

23rd April? What happened? 

A Penalty Kick correctly given for a foul by the defending team inside the penalty 

area. The referee has not given the signal and before the ball is kicked and in play one of 

the attacking players enters the penalty area. The Referee allows the kick to be taken 

and if the ball enters the goal it is disallowed and the Penalty Kick is retaken – if the 

goalkeeper had saved the goal play would be restarted with an indirect free kick to the 

defending team. 

In this game play restarted with a goal kick. That was wrong, but have a heart 

for the decision making. How many of you would put yourself in the middle and be 

prepared to make those calls? 

There are no less than 

thirteen (13) infringements that can 

occur at the taking of a Penalty 

Kick and restarts range from a 

retake, to an indirect free kick, to a 

corner kick, to a goal kick to a 

dropped ball. 

If only those 82 pages of 

instructions were sitting in the back 

pocket. 

And yet it can be very 

rewarding to attend a Basic 

Refereeing Course, and make 

that first step up the ladder -

I’m sorry but it’s got to be said that the ref in Saturday’s Spirit v Queenstown 

game had a huge impact on the outcome and it was based on a couple of not-sogood 

decisions. 

It happens I guess, but when they affect the result as they did then even I 

am moved to be just a little embarrassed. 

Enough said though and the 2-2 draw wasn’t really what either team needed. 

A win for either would have been well 

deserved as Spirit for the most part played some 

of their best football of the season, and grabbed 

a couple of goals to boot. 

While Queenstown certainly didn’t look 

like a team that had conceded 11 goals a few 

weeks ago. 

Spirit unveiled its new signing for the 

game and he duly got the POD award for the day. 

Craig Ferguson, seen in pic right, he hails from 

Perth, Scotland. 

Well done to New Zealand Football for 

organising the Aussie game on June the 5th the 

day after Ricky Herbert will be speaking at the 

Thistle Jubilee function in Invers. 

Thistle got in first so I guess 

the All-Whites assistant coach will have to take 

over the reins in Adelaide…. 

yeah right.

It took 76 minutes and a sending off 

before the Premier Men started to 

turn on the type of attacking football 

that they had failed to play up until 

then. 

Substitute Simon Wilkes scored 

a great goal to draw the scores 

level after Green Island had taken 

the lead about 56 mins into the 

game. 

In that last 15 mins the game 

opened up and became a frenetic 

end to end struggle. 

It would be fair to say that for the first 70 mins of the game the young 

Green Island side not only held their own but forced Northern into mistake after 

mistake and in general had the better of the game. 

Overall it was a good 

comeback for the 10 man 

team and it was helped in no 

small way with the MOM 

performance by stand in

From the CEO....Whats happening in Footballsouth 

“ Pathways for Referees are included in the NZF/Footballsouth Whole of Football 

Plan. They are very much a part of growing the game, both from a quantity and a 

quality point of view. We want to develop world class officials just as we want 

world class coaches and players. Brent Best is a great local example of 

someone who has reached world class as an Assistant Ref (AR). 

How can you help? 

· By volunteering - it may be a pathway for you !! 

( contact Chris Boyd - Ref Dev Officer - see website for details ) 

· By encouraging . This publication will not accept negative comments on 

referees performance. These should be forwarded to your Club, which will then 

pass on to the appropriate officials in Footballsouth. 

· Contributors to this magazine should quietly reflect on their choice of 

words before committing to print - Better not to comment on Refereeing ( How 

would you feel if the refs started criticising players and coaches in public?) 

· Take your concerns up with the Refs in a positive manner 

· Managers, coaches, players - take a disciplined approach to conduct 

both on and off the field. We want to increase the recruitment and retention of 

referees. Ideally, we would like officials for all games - both men and women. 

ps Congrats to NZF for winning the Excellence in Innovation 

Award, with their WOFP ( Wilson Whineray described it as world class ) at the 

SPARC Annual Awards last week. “ 

NZ Plan wins Award 

Bill Chisholm 

Football’s development blueprint, the Whole of Football 

Plan, has been recognised at New Zealand Sport and 

Recreation Awards in Auckland by taking out the 

Innovation Excellence category. 

Based on internationally researched bestpractice 

and tailored to New Zealand context, the 

Whole of Football Plan has been designed to cover all 

areas of the game, from volunteers, coaches and 

referees, to social and elite players. 

The plan will be rolled out over the next six 

years with the junior framework piloted this season and 

fully implemented in 2012. The youth and senior 

frameworks will be piloted in 2013 and 2015 respectively before fully rolled out 

the following season. 

Describing the plan as a “world-class piece of work” the judging panel 

chaired by Sir Wilson Whineray said the “Whole of Football Plan is re-inventing 

the way football will be delivered to New Zealanders.”

‘Ask the Physio’ 

In my days we didn’t have hamstrings!!!! 

There appears to have been a significant evolutionary 

change in the past 20 years as football pundits that have 

reached the half century seem not to have any hamstring 

muscles! 

Pulling a ‘hammie ‘ is very common in running sports. The 

hamstring muscles run from the pelvis to the back of the 

knee. The injury can range from a simple strain to a full 

tear. The simple strain will recover in a few days however 

the tear can put someone out for the season. 

There are many causes for 

hamstring injuries : back problems, 

stretching out for a ball to sprinting and sprinting 

injuries. Sprinting injuries tend to occur due to poor 

timing between the quadriceps and hamstrings. So 

therefore this may not be due to a lack of fitness. 

Hamstring flexibility is important in football as the 

player needs to be mobile. Having good strength is 

also important. An early return to sport after an injury 

without strengthening the hamstrings will result in re-injury so a good 

strength programme is required. 

Stretching ( see pics ) must be carried out regularly and not just before a 

game so that good mobility is achieved. If you are unsure ask you physio for 

a stretching and strengthening programme.game so that good mobility is 

achieved. If you are unsure ask you physio for a stretching and 

strengthening programme.

Parker FOY 

West Ham midfielder Scott Parker has been voted 2011 Footballer of the Year by 

the Football Writers Association. 

In what was one of the closest contests of recent seasons, Parker topped 

the poll of journalists ahead of Tottenham defender Gareth Bale, who was last week 

named the Professional Footballers’ Association Player of the Year. 

The England international - who started his career at Charlton before spells 

with Chelsea and Newcastle ahead of joining West Ham in 2007 - will receive the 

prestigious accolade, which has been running since 1948, at a gala dinner at the 

Lancaster London Hotel on May 12. 






The Green Island Premier team drew 1-1 with Northern at Sunnyvale. Maybe 

missed chances were the winner this week as both teams take a point and more 

than likely think that it was two points given away. 

Both teams tried to play on the fourth pitch at Sunnyvale but narrowness 

didn’t allow. Players to step up today were Cody Robinson, Martin Foster and 

1. Prasad Rohan

Against Mosgiel at Memorial park, The 

home side started on the front foot and controlled 

the tempo of the game while also creating the 

better chances. However, our Brazilian keeper 

Danniel Becheri was looking good in goal and 

difficult to beat. That was until Mosgiel received a 

free-kick just outside the left-hand side of the 18 

yard box. 

This year, our first two games were 

officiated by Richard Roberts who performed 

admirably. He was both competent and capable of 

controlling the matches and, showed why in my 

opinionhe is one of the best referees in the Otago 

region. 

However our match referee allowed the 

ever-alert Mike McGarry to take a quick free-kick 

while the offending Varsity player was being 

cautioned, and thus at a time when a quick freekick 

cannot be taken, (check the Rules Luke, Refs 

advise that the attacking team has the right to take 

the Kick quickly. This point will be covered in ASK 

THE REF page on Fsouth website ). 

I don’t want to take anything away from the good Mosgiel performance in the 1 st 

half but such decisions have important impacts on the outcomes of matches. In fairness 

though, Mosgiel certainly deserved their lead and went into the break 2-0 ahead after 

Phil Kelly raced in behind our defence and slotted home despite being twice thwarted 

by our keeper Becheri. 

In terms of the Varsity performance, the team had completely gone away from 

the fluent passing football that we had been so effective at playing in previous weeks. 

Following a spirited half-time chat, the lads finally came out ready to play some football. 

We held onto possession well and against a solid Mosgiel defence we were 

able to create 2-3 good scoring chances. 

With about 10-15 mins to go, our best opportunity of the game arose. Having 

been played through by Wouts, Rathbone rattled the upright with a stinging shot that 

was well saved by the Mosgiel keeper. Had we scored then it would have brought about 

an interesting end to the game but as always Mike McGarry marshalled his team very 

well and with Matt Brooks steady at the back, we weren’t able to break Mosgiel down. 

Final Result: 2-0. Good performances by Stevie Blackmore, Josh Groom and 

Yannick Wouts. MOTM: Zac Rathbone yet again – quality week in week out. Well done 

to Mosgiel on a good win. 

Luke Macris 




Whats his best 

position, Frank ? 



Mosgiel’s new Zimmer park was in 

good use this week, as Mike and 

Phil saved energy for the game and 

it worked - a goal each ! 

Beating Varsity 2-nil is never 

easy and our ‘grey power’ was too 

much for the stripling students, who 

never gave up, and kept our guys 

honest. 

For the game against Northern, 

we have signed on Frank Kelly, as 

Strategy expert, and he might even 

get a game !

Seb. 

New French signing 

Sebastien Tilmant from 

Canada should booost 

Caversham - at 6’9” he 

plays attacking midfield 

- taller than Crouch ! 

Nev 


Not a good day at the office for Cavy, patches 

of good passing, and lots of effort but there 

were not too many shots on target, and some 

of Tech’s most dangerous moves came from 

‘giveaway’ passing by the home side. 

Maybe it was the energy sapping long 

grass, or possibly the facxt that team 

members tried to trim the grass on Friday - a 

sad comment on ground preparation.
