What a grubby thing to do, schedule a football game to start at 8pm when Origin is on, wouldnt expect anything less.
Barnsley, cold night, mid week game, late, it will level the playing field a little but not enough to really make a difference, Suns will win by a 2 or 3 atleast.
Masterstroke
With this weather it will be off for sure So Win Win get to see origin and a long weekend!!

It's football, not s***er!!
Sadly for the Suns it will give their boys another 2 weeks of good grazing. Back end fitness will be key for them to get by!
Mayfield could run away with the minor premiership again.
At this point in time anyone willing to guess the top 4?
Mayfield
Dudley
Suns
Kotara
With Swansea hot on their heals!!!

1. Mayfield
2. Dudley
3. Suns
4. Kotara (realistically this spot has 3 or 4 teams competing for it, Bero, Swansea, Warners Bay)
Barnsley... they would be red hot favourite for relogation.
Raymond Terrace are doing there best not to let Barnsley run away with it tho.
Surely tonight's game is washed out
With Barnsley putting all of the money they could spend on players into the grounds drainage, I’m pretty sure the game will be on tonight.
What about the favourites for relegation?
You've got it all wrong
Raymond Terrace
Swansea
Suns
Mayfield
I'm not involved with club officially this year but last I heard it was still on, so seems money was well spent. Still playing ZPL without paying players
There is playing then there is competing. Barnsley definitely are just playing in ZPL
Farking Hell... someone call the god damn Vet because we have a Bulldog here thats going to need to be put out of its misery!!!
What would I have to be upset about.
In the ZPL Barnsley have played 26 games, and won 4 (only promoted 2018).
You have conceeded 91 goals, thats -3.5 a game for the people playing at home.
If you had conceeded something like another 13 goals over all those 26 games, it would mean that you could have from the start of your time in ZPL never fielded a team and only forfieted you would have actually been in a better position (goal difference wise, and everyone would be better off having Barnsley being demoted).
Fun fact: If you had forfieted all 8 games this season your goal difference would be +1 better than it currently is.
I guess we will have to break it down for you into "bite size" pieces.
- Your club is the equivalent of a fluffer for the other teams.
- You cant/dont win anything.
- You are lucky to still even be a apart of ZPL being on par on with the BYE in terms of performance, jagging a win or two a season to barely scrape by.
Id be pretty upset but hey its ok, Barnsley dont pay anyone BUT you do have a great football pitch... right...
You are dreaming if you think EVERY other club is paying anyone/everyone to play for them... but yes, we all know there are SOME clubs that do pay players.
Its a weak as piss excuse to try and deflect the crap quality of a football club.

It's football, not s***er!!
Barnsley vs. Suns
See the post above for a breakdown of how this one will pan out. Being a fan of statistics and probablility I'd be willing to say that there is a very good chance this one will have at least four suns goals in it.
0-7 Suns... I said at least 4.
Cardiff vs. Mayfield
Mayfield were shakey last weekend and I heard were on the road to get rocked by Bero. Cardiff were finding form but got put down a peg by Dudley.
did bero crack Mayfields armour, maybe. Will Cardiff be the club to find out, probably not.
0-3 Mayfield
Warners Bay vs. Swansea
I tossed a coin and it came up as Warners bay on form this week. Both teams are looking for that 4th place. will be an interesting game to watch.
2-1 Warners Bay
Dudley vs. Kotara
Best game of the round, Dudley will get the job done at home.
2-1 Dudley.
Bero vs Raymond Terrace
Bero will be feeling robbed after last weekend and looking to pick up where they left off. Raymond Terrace will be feeling robbed after last weekend but they are still waiting for the police to come around and dust for prints and take their formal statement for the report. The game is at Bero so that makes everything messy as well.
4 - 2 Bero.
Just wow
Stop the press, the donkey has been up all night researching and has come up with Barnsley haven't been competitive in ZPL. I'm in shock, I can't believe I haven't seen it for myself and youve broken my heart now I'm really upset.
And now you've blessed me with this news I am going straight to the committee and demand they make the team play up to your standard.
No need to thank me, It didnt take that long at all.
We use fancy things called computers now, takes a few minutes at most to get those kind of stats and most of us can do maths in our heads so that speeds things up a little.
After all you were the one that needed it explained to you and asked for us to spoon feed this to you... so im glad that I could do my civic/social duty for this week and help out the special people within our society to help us all be more inclusive.
Hopefully the committee will listen to you but when your "meetings" are held on the short bus to daycare im not sure much will sink in.
