Squad

Francis Colvey: 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.

Match

Hawke's Bay United take the points off Canterbury United

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

No hiding place for Stefan Bell

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Stefan Bell, and the manager let it.

Squad

Chris De Vries damages knee ligaments — 16 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 16 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Marco Bell puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Canterbury United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Southern United come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Canterbury United did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Tim Just falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Team Wellington watching Noah Just

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Canterbury United have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Tempers go at Canterbury United

James Smith 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.

Squad

Tommy Bell stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Tommy Bell and Canterbury United agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
