Words at Canterbury United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Liberato De Vries is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Sam Cacace in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Canterbury United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The manager makes an example of Corey Hollman

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Joe Just: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Canterbury United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad23 Nov 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Liberato Stamatelopoulos

15 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Canterbury United lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match18 Nov 2026

Canterbury United out of the cup

Hawke's Bay United ended it 2‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Joe Just could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.60

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.60, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Owen Lewis breaks a bone — 48 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 48 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Winston Garbett decides it from twelve yards

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

The terraces23 Nov 2026

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 8 of the 36 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Age has not caught Clayton Bell yet — 7.94

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.94 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

A first appearance Oliver Sutton will want to forget — 5.48

Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 5.48, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Canterbury United

Liberato De Vries was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
