Capital Football are just cruel...

Why Nairnville #2 again it's rooted well and truly, we made sure of it the last time we played.

Anyway they can't spell check either ...

CAPITAL FOOTBALL DRAW FOR 21 - 23 AGUST: ? 

CAPITAL 7 GOLD:
University 4th XI Vs SV Killer Bees @ Nairnville 1 (2.30);
Marist Cobras  Vs Uni Raiders  @ Kelburn (12.30);

CAPITAL 7 BLACK:

Nth Wgtn Varsity  Vs Lower Hutt City @ Newlands (12.30);

What us, concerned?

Update from the YF site, from a sealord:

'I think we should give CF their dues - they arent idiots, and im sure they will use some common sense and ensure that magpies are promoted if no more games are played

Im sure that if it is unfair there will be enough support from all of the other teams in the league to put it right - everyone has been sporting thus far, and it would be a travesty if the Pies and Pints are not duly given reward for a great season (whether its 1st or second is yet to be seen...)

By the looks of mitch's post we are safe either way if no more games are played, and if they are played our destiny is in our own hands, so no concern for us...by the loooks of things uni you should be the ones concerned....

Sorry to bump you Josh, but another update ...

From YF, Cap 7 thread:

Has everyone seen this from Cap Football?:

"Senior Men - Capital 3-13 inclusive - we will first and foremost concentrate on completing one full round. In most divisions that will mean that another 1 or 2 games will need to be played. If more games can be played they will be. If at the conclusion of the season a league is incomplete (which is likely) winners and promotion/relegation spots will be determined as follows. If the final table shows teams in unassailable key positions (top and bottom so to speak) - the final table will stand. If the final table shows teams in top or bottom positions that could have been "caught" if the season had been able to be completed, the final positions and promotion/relegation spots shall be determined by the results of one complete first round."

So I've gone through and worked out the results of the first full round played (the first game that everybody played against each other). The table (top four) is as follows:

P W D L Pts
Marist Inter 9 7 2 0 23
Waterside Sealords 9 6 2 1 20
Uni Stallions 9 6 1 2 19
Waterside Magpies 9 6 0 3 18

As opposed to current positions:

P W D L GF GA Pts
Waterside Magpies 13 10 0 3 42 21 30
Waterside Sealords 13 9 2 2 45 11 29
Marist Inter 13 8 2 3 31 18 26
Uni Stallions 13 7 1 5 30 19 22

So provided I have added the first round up the same way Cap Football will, Marist should start rain dancing (not that they need to) and Magpies need as many points as possible between now and whenever the season ends.

I'm certainly not saying this out of any club loyalty to them, but if the 7-odd game winning streak Magpies were to get screwed by this and Marist got promoted it would be a complete and utter shambles.

Dunno about you, but remembering back to a couple of games that were cancelled on nice sunny days earlier in the season makes me pretty angry right now.

I think we might need to launch a class action to get part of our subs back for unplayed games. :)

BTW, Uni have played the Dreamers. 3-0 to Uni on April 25th. '

- Hey, Hey, the Stallions jump to 3rd! Who knows how it will play out. Will try to keep you updated ...

Capital 7 forum on Yellow Fever

Look what I found - a Capital 7 forum on the Yellow Fever website

Mainly dominated by the new Karori teams - all good - seem to like talking it up, taking the piss out of one another, all flamed by the fact that there was an arse-whipping in their local derby last weekend. A couple of other teams chiming in. The Stallions are renown for at least talking up a good game so do we join in - and provide outsiders access to our blog? But what happens when Nick reveals our secret team tactics or Ben H reveals his weakness in the upcoming player profile? What happens if Justice finds his way here and sees how much abuse he gets (thats assuming the blog lands at his feet, not at his head - he can't do his magic from there!).

FYI Ben, there is a whole thread about crap players using coloured boots.
