Anyone know who's job it is to input the results on the sporting pulse website? Is it the association that does it or is the home club's responsibility?

25-06-2012, 02:06 PM
the home clubs are supposed to do it, then they post the team sheets to Macquarie Football

if the clubs haven't put it online, Macquarie Football have to go through the team sheets once they're received in the mail on Tuesday (or later)

yeah pretty much the same team
i think we added 3 guys from westy in certain positions at the start of the season and their coach from last year, and had 2 more come in the last few weeks.
these guys can definitely play at a higher level still but are enjoying the club and football again and we cant see them going anywere.
but yeah pretty much the same team, noone left, got a few young boys come from juniors to play 3rd grade and resies and fill our squad really

read rumours on social media that we called it off due to injuries and tiredness from coffs on the weekend and that we used to water our ground when we knew players were going to be out.
oh and how can we call it off when teams were training on it on monday night. when it wasnt our ground that was being used.

Merewether v Suburbs at a very heavy Jeso park
1st - 2-1 Suburbs. 1 all at half time with a Suburbs player shown a straight red early in the second half. Seemed to lift the boys and they went on with the win. Should have put a few more away if not stray shots & good keeping from Merewethers GK. Some very tired legs out there you would have thought no one had played in a month or so.......
Res - 1-0 Suburbs. Dodgy pen given to Suburbs but shooting was terrible and should have won by a lot more.
3rds - 2-2. Suburbs got away 2 nil only to see Merewether come back and snatch a point.

Not sure about what's happening out at Wallsend, but I know Suns 1st grade keeper got sent off in their previous game vs Kahibah. I wasn't there to see the incident but have been told it was in the dying stages of the game with Suns comfortably leading 7-3 and for something pretty unnecessary like backchat or retaliation. Maybe his absence had an impact on their result vs Wallsend. Maybe someone from either camp can clarify.

bit more depth at the club this year. it's taken many years since the newfm days to be where we are now, but everyone's pretty glad we're turning it around.

the suns game was a decent one. we jumped out early to make it 2-0, they fought well to bring it back to 2-2 and looked very strong, but we managed to pinch one and then seal it shortly after to close out the 4-2 victory. it was a great day for the reds, 4-0 in thirds, 4-0 in reserves, and 4-2 in first grade.

Thats your view.
I think we controlled the game and thouroughly deserved the win.. Just couldn't put our chances away.. (Your keeper made some brilliant saves!)
It was a very unfortunate head-back that skewed in to the goal, felt for the poor defender..
All in all, the weather was tops, it was a great day for football, nail biting few moments towards the end. Cheers to the Nelso club for hosting and making it a brilliant day.

yeah nothing going on between the 2 sides really, some hard tackles that are part of the game, but the ref made a terrible decision with a hand ball on the line which should have resulted in send off and penalty, but the suns players do not have the whistle in their mouth so nothing against them. purely ref stuff up. alot of protesting tho which probably frustrated him and he lost control.

• The Semis will be played over two legs.
• The host clubs will be determined by the final positions on the ladder for First Grade in that Division, played as, Game 1 - 4 v 1, 3 v 2 : Game 2 - 1 v 4 , 2 v 3.

It was first spoke about at a meeting last year and then again this year. The clubs must of been happy with it as there were no complaints. the upside is it gurantees you a home semi for your fans and players and with that good income. Considering now grand finals are held at neutral venues.

Doesnt reward the top 2 but helps to ensure the stronger team gets through. 1st leg becomes a bit of a farce since the result hinges on the next meeting, providing no blowout of course.

Yeah thats pretty much how I understand it, mate.. We (Gardo) have Kotara on Sunday out at their ground..
Problem is, that if sporting pulse is to be believed, then Kotara definitely need a win to secure 4th spot and a place in the finals.. So its not like they have nothing to play for at the end of the season..

Kahibah 3 v Gardo 5 score not up on SP so, + 2 to G/Suburbs GD takes them to 45pts with +26 GD.

All the best to those teams in the finals. I would realy like to see gardo take it for the sake of an old mate of mine.

Tough year for the Sharks taking out the spoon this year, but it wouldn't have mattered since a decision was made a few weeks back to go back a lower division due to the player issues they have had this year.

Having lost a number of first team players from last year, a core group of players have decided to white ant the team (and club) by trying to start another team and and play for Berisfield in a lower competition next. This started some time ago so it was no wonder the there was no passion or loyality within the squad. It's interesting to think back and remember what a couple of these blokes said what they were going to do for the club this year, helping out coaching juniors etc. maybe they said what they said just to get something out of the club.

Anyway credit must go to those players who rejected the offer to leave and to those that go don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out. Oh and don't hurry back if things turn to shit.

A new coach has come in with differant ideas. There are a couple of former first grade players that are now in ressies and visa versa which I think has caused some of this situation. There are some other reasons which i wont go into but in no way has the club done anything against these guys. Some of them are just sooks that were babied by the last coach and the new coach doesnt appear to be the type to put up with the way they carry on.

The reason they are going to bero is that a couple of them were bero juniors (many years ago) and I supose they know a few of the current Zone League players.

Maybe Im just bitter as there has been a lot of effort put in by some real good clubmen to helpp the League 1 boys only to have this sort of shit put on them.

Just to avoid any confusion, I'm one of the players who is apparently lacking passion. I'm the same bloke who has been injured for roughly 6-7 weeks of this season...during that time I have not missed watching a game...if you can tell me at what stage this season you have been there for all three grades I would appreciate it. As far as coaching and helping out goes, we took on our own team last year and we also were willing to again this year however there were insufficient numbers to do so. I have also coached all three grades in the absence of our current coach. I help pack up at every home game and like to think that I am passionate about any team that I play for. At no stage do I want to lose and can and have got quite pissed off this year when we haven't won. For someone to question the passion and use that as an excuse for our demise is ridiculous!! If you had been to any games then you would see that I don't stop until the end of any game and don't get me started about trying to walk on Sundays due to the effort put in on game day!

To make it clear about next season, there were a few of us that weren't too happy with the way the club was going and we decided that we would like to have a go at putting a side together. At every stage in the process we have informed a member of the club what was going on. We have not gone behind the backs of the club at any stage. Also the blokes that we have "poached" all seem to be our close mates. That's because they are! And if we weren't there then there is a fair chance quite a few of them wouldn't be either!

Back to the whole point of this, I think that it was wrong of you to post something like this on a forum when you have clearly not been paying attention during the season. If you had been at games you might have been actually able to come up to us and talk about it like normal humans would. Instead you have waited for the season to basically be over and taken a cheap swipe. Basically shows me the type of person you are. I love the club and would like to think if things don't work out I would be able to come back to it, and I'm sure with the current committee in place that option would be there. They are great people it's just that we want to try something new. If that doesn't fit in with exactly what you want that's a bit unlucky but it's what we want to do.

Besides this we still have one more game left this season and we will be looking to go out winners! And afterwards as with every home game we will back at our sponsors supporting those who support us! Isnt that what loyalty is? We will all go out with the spoon and I can garentee that we will still be there with drink in hand together at the end!

Let's go boys!!

The reason why a committee member knew about what was going on was because I told told him to talk to you to find out what was going on.

Nobody including myself has ever doubted your passion on the field so what has happen that has brought about this situation. Weren't you one of the senior players that was a part of the selection panel. Didn't the club help you at the beginning of the year and in return you agreed to have a certain within the club.

As I said i am bitter to see what has happened and I have told no untruths. As for the reason I haven't attended any games this year, well there my reasons.

i see only one logical and completely legit way of settling this: get a representative from the leaving players, and a representative from the board, and roshambo each other - whoever wins gets control of the club & does it their way.

either that or, i dunno, have an internal all-cards-on-the-table talk & actually sort through the issues both sides are seeing.

There's a rule about making cabon copies of team sheets for records somewhere in the book.
I thought I'd take this rule into the 21st Century.

Last season I scanned every home team sheet from Cookers games.
This year, I took it one step further. For $166 from OfficeJerks, I purchased and A4 scanner stick.
Even if I can't make it, I make sure that stick goes to all Cookers away games to scan the sheets. (Front and back)
I have every sheet for this season. From these I do the stats on cards and goal scorers; both very useful for
Preso night. The latter for Golden Boot, the former for the 'Cheese Award' lol

Just to make sure people don,t think I'm talking out my arse. I am still an active member of the committee. I haven't missed one Saturday helping out at the ground (when we played) and only missed one one committee meeting since January. So I consider my information fairly solid, I have been asked to advised but I said I would not get involved. I have however agreed to chair a meeting after the season is finished to discuss the future direction of senior football at the Sharks.

In First Grade, by my calculations, Kotara 4th (played 17, 23 points with GD of +3), Wallsend 5th (played 17, 22 points with GD of -1), Kahibah 6th (played 17, 20 points GD ??? but it's probably not good), Bero 7th (played 17, 17 points GD ???). So looks like Kahibah still have a mathematical chance but in need of a miracle. Kotara and Wallsend only teams realistically in contention for the final semi spot.

In Reserves, looks like Kotara & Kahibah unable to sneak into top 4. Wallsend 1st (played 17, 37 points GD of +24), Barnsley 2nd (played 17, 36 points GD of +27), Suns 3rd (played 17, 36 points GD of +9), Suburbs 4th (played 17, 33 points GD of +14), Kotara 5th (played 17, 29 points), Kahibah 6th (played 17, 28 points).

You would think promotion/relegation is automatic?
or do Barnsley need to apply via the criteria and be approved?

So it looks like semi final line up as per below (please let me know if there are any errors) cant believe SP is still not up to date!!! Some of these clubs need a reaming. Our (Gardo) result v Kahibah still not up from last Saturday. I personally put Gardo's results in every week it takes no more than 5 minutes (a little longer if i have had a few sherbies at the RSL after the game :pissup:)
3rds
1 v 4 Kahibah v Wallsend (assuming Kahibah got a result at Bero mid week)
2 v 3 Kotara v Barnsley
Res
1 v 4 Barnsley v Gardo
2 v 3 Wallsend v Suns
1st
1 v 4 Barnsley v Kotara
2 v 3 Gardo v Suns
Good luck to all teams in finals.
I hope the association does the right thing by all clubs with scheduling of these matches.

What an interesting final round... it was nearly last seasons EPL all over again!
Barnlsey really had the gods smiling on them this weekend with results in reserves and 1sts both going there way!

Saying that, credit where it is due... To be promoted and win minor premiership in 1st grade and reserve grade, plus 3rd in 3rd grade. it really is an effort to be applauded!
Congratulations!

barnsley wtf

i watched this one... barnsley were fairly ordinary in the 1st half and kotara looked very in control.

2nd half barnsley dominated possesion (in my opinion) but just couldnt crack the defence. They came close a few times and had a certain penalty waved away... saying that kotara played well on the counter attack and could have had more goals on another day.

Barnsley were kept in it by their keeper, who saved a penalty when they were already 2-1 down.

I would still think barnsley has the quality to get through at home, i think that away goal might be pretty important!

Is anyone a fan of the new finals format? My understanding was that it was brought in to give all teams in the finals a chance to host a game, bringing more revenue for the hosting clubs. But looks like quite a few clubs across the divisions had to move their "home" games for various reasons, hence defeating the purpose of the new format.

And why have the away goals rule for the lower grades when it's unlikely that they get to play at their home ground anyway. Doesn't make sense to me!!!

Happy to hear someone else's opinion if they disagree.

kotaras defence was too good in the end
won the game for them
should be a good second leg at home.
theyre a better team than the latter showed at the end of the year

ZPL reserve grade isn't age-capped, is it? I thought ZPL was 1sts, Res (no age-cap) & U/23.

Pretty sure this was a topic in the committee meeting the other night. Pretty sure they want to be promoted. in my opinion we have and will get the players for the 23s. But its turning away existing over age players that's an issue i think. In my opinion every club would have that issue. Whether we can keep the older guys involved with an all age side or not.

also i was talking to a mate the other day about the whole home and away, aggregate set up and a question was raised and its perfect from the suns/suburbs games.
did the suns still sing their club song on sunday after winning the game but not progressing to the Final?

I'd be too shattered to sing if I had just been knocked out of the finals.
Its basically a game over 180 minutes so I'd be singing if I progressed

so you would think singing it after the first game is premature if you dont end up making it?

sing for first leg win. sing for overall aggregate win - regardless of result in leg dos.

first week sing is about mind games, second leg singing is the real party-down.

As part of the Gardo team, I can say that after beating Suns 4-2 in the first round, we didn't sing because we didn't feel that the full job was done. We saw it as half-time and didn't deserve to sing until we had finished the whole 180 minutes.
It was a damn tense game, all credit to the Suns for putting it on the line and really making it for an exciting match..

Thanks. Good to see how different teams took the situations. I don't really know what to think of the set up. Guess all you can do is show up and get on with it

I really like the set up.
It might just be because its a new change but i love these mind games as pv4 led to.
I really enjoy the mental battle teams face not only playing 2 games but also having the pressure to defend well at home.

Been part of a few systems, the worst was having a round robin format
where each of the 4 teams played each other which was won on goal diff:( The best was winning from 4th where each win achieved a bigger celebration. I find coaching too frustrating.

that was worse than the two-man sack race held on consecutive sundays?

wasnt a fan of the system from the outset..... its even worse for resis and 3rds
away goals is for champions league when you visit a different countries and cities and go to stadiums with 50,000 away screaming fans
anyways good luck to all teams in the finals

on the final does anyone else find it frustrating that a team not in our team divsion gets to host the grand final, all the grand finals were given to NBN & 2HD league clubs, fair enough it should be at a decent ground but theres no reason why our teams cant hire the ground for the day as their seasons have finished

been in a few now and they have been played at Lakes with nothing coming to clubs
didnt care then cos the pitch is so much better than anything weve played on

each club in the finals got a home game to account for some profit this year where in previous years they havent
so kind of evens itself out

I think we did this in juniors. The assoc had a tendency to constantly experiment even back in the dark ages. I always enjoyed the minor maj as a player and even more so as a cranky old neutral spectator. Prefer see epic highs and lows for semis :blush:

Agree with the Nou on away goals.

Your thoughts?

And I think that's why we are disagreeing. Youre looking at it from a spectators point of view where as im looking at it from a player's.

The vast majority of the players ive spoken to (and Ive spoken to a lot, as it's a topic of hot conversation at the moment) really like it. I can also see how a spectator would much prefer to watch a do-or-die one-off match.

TBH in regards to the away goals I could take them of leave them. Im not really bothered either way.

Edit: This should all probably be moved to the "semis format thread"

You go to any home ground in a semi-final series regardless of location, there's always huge home backing. Sometimes is distracts, usually it improves your desire to perform. Barnsleys home support on Saturday was outstanding, ours (GS) was amazing yesterday as was the Suns the week before. No, it's not 50,000 screaming fans but you know every single person standing there cheering you on. If that doesn't make you lift your game (ie, an advantage) it's something wrong with you, not the federations decision.

But, with the semis over, hindsight is 20/20 I guess. Whatever way you look at it, it's simple, don't concede goals at home. It's not like the teams were told about the rule at fulltime on Sunday.

That being said, shouldn't apply to reserves and thirds for obvious reasons.

I agree that there is still a huge home backing in these semis. has been great to see the fans drinking on the hills of the 4 semis i saw over the 2 legs and hearing some of the calls they come up with
There is also the home advantage of playing at your ground. I know it doesnt affect some sides as much as others but only have to look at raymond terrace semi in id2, they use their large feild as an advantage with two quick strikers but have to change their game plan to suit the smaller field of hamilton

Do reserve grade play extra time?
I thought they went straight to pens, but that might just be semi finals?

Do you mean if barnsley pepper the suburbs goal for the first 80 minutes like they did against kotara it might be a barnsley white wash.
