In Fighting 10:0 Whipping Boys FC
Swansea by heaps, not sure what else to say other than get the lube ready!

Battle Of The Shit Winners FC 1:2 Our Women’s Team Is Better FC
Terrace picked up what will be their only bit of silverware this year in the battle of the shit last weekend. They surely gained some confidence from it, unfortunately it will leave them more disappointed then usual when they lose.

Kick And Hope FC 2:1 Where's Our Defence FC
I'm surprised Bero don't win more on the road... You'd think they'd be happy to get away from their child size field and rubbish sheds littered with certain sexually transmitted disease posters! tipping Bero to tire out after 20 minutes due to Mayfield being a bigger pitch.

Most Hated Flogs in ZPL 0:4 Second Most Hated Flogs in ZPL
Every time I tip against Dudley they win convincingly, so..... Dudley are the greatest ever team to play the game and will win easily. Will be disappointed if someone doesn't get sent or if there isn't a fight in the crowd (like last time).

No Whippet No Win FC 2:3 The Worst Team Kenny Has Seen FC
This will be a test for Kotara. Wondering how the one-dimensional approach will go without Road Runner up top? Cardiff away from their non-fortress home ground and abusive crowd might get something out of this.

[Chase_Me]

Cardiff are shit.

I suggest a little more research for your next posts mate, you're starting to just look silly now.


oh Kennytwoheadedhatwearer, you are a knob still, once again trying to deflect the shit flying your way, we at Cardiff haven't jumped on here and spruiked any greatness for season 2019, unlike you.
Staying up and rebuilding is our aim this year, but when I have to open the forum up and see the dribble coming out of your mouth, it just makes me think how shit we have been, played in ZPL or ID1's (albeit a bit lucky one year) since around 2002, what about the terrace?

A question to you, so is this the terrace side that actually stays in zpl for more than 3/4 years or drops down when you run out of money again? because we all know how you like to spend money, or has this been passed onto little Kenny....

and on the looking silly side, what all your mirrors broken.....

Well isn't there some shade getting thrown around this forum lately. I'm just an outsider looking through a very salty cardiff window. I'm neither a terrace or cardiff supporter but what I'm hearing from kennyswhitehat is nothing but humour and trolling trying to get fish to bite, or in this case tigers.

I honestly didn't think it was possible, but it looks like cardiff are as dumb as they look.

another Newby onto the forum, welcome whoever you support, but you do seem to protect Terrace a bit in your 4/5 posts so far.....as for thesixheadedhatwearingkenny, I only had a little bite for the fun of it...and threw the line out myself and look what had a go at my line, you...

What sorta money we talking here? surely they aren't paying players! guess the club won't have to fork out too much coin if they're all on win bonuses!

Bloody hell, can you provide facts on this? So I can go back to my club and negotiate some sort of pay rise.. if we are throwing 30k around and I’m not on the take I’ll be greatly disappointed.

Neutral? You are a numpty.

After coming up against Raymond Terrace this year, I certainly believe that they are top 4 contenders. They play a very possession based game, which is quite beautiful to watch. Their fullbacks aren't afraid to carry the ball into the final third, and create opportunities. I even heard one of our players say "they are the harlem globe trotters of football!
What's this gravy? lol

Since you are a Terrace sympathizer best get back to the drugs and do what you do best.

OOOOfft... that must hurt those fragile little Raymond Terrace egos.
Thanks to Warners Bay for putting them back in their place, the bin.

I didn't get out to any games because well.. it was raining.
How much truth to this little gem is there? what happened out at Mayfield park today?
I heard from someone else that Bero were on top and making Mayfield look pretty poor on the bus down struggle street.

Mayfield dropping the get out of jail card on this one?

Resorting to name calling again I see, or that could just be your illiteracy showing again. And aiming to stay up, that’s the exact amount of ambition I’ve come to expect from a team that’s lucky to be in ZPL.
Terrace on the other hand are an ambitious, confident team that are well on the rise.

Because Ref decision isn't final?!?!? You sound like a whining player. Ref said game off, puddles on pitch end of story.

No controversy here... Move on. Bero gave a good account of themselves, the replay is worth watching.

Good luck with that...terrace were ambitious years ago, then you went back down, now your back again, telling all how good you are.
I have seen to many clubs come and go over the years, your just another one of them, so as I said good luck..tell me in 3 years how good you are..

Pecker, your making an absolute goose of yourself arguing with a bloke that has no affiliation with our club, no one knows who it is, surely by now after taking hook, line and sinker every year that you would realise people are lining you up. Onlooker is the only one on here that posts our results.
Take aim at us all you want, Atleast it’s giving someone else a rest 😉.

A goose, that's not real nice.
Well he seems like he is very much a terrace supporter by his posts and as for taking aim at you, haven't done that for a while terrace have been in ZL1, I'm just firing back at your(or maybe not your) bloke, so I don't really call this an argument.

On being lined up by others, that hasn't been happening and it takes a lot more than that to wind me up, pretty thick skinned as you would know and I can take any criticism as long its genuine and factual, shit I have even admitted being wrong(only once though).
I like to have fun and the forum for me is fun, from the wannbe superstars, super coaches who have never coached, all the way down to the school teachers who want to correct the grammar of the posters its all a game.....

cheers see you in 2 weeks xranger….

[PlasticFan]

Can anyone else feel the sexual tension in the room?

[Passtheballmate]

Maybe we need to see who could go watch a game and be willing to express their forum post in the change rooms after the game. Then we could write about the result from that.

I reckon I’d survive giving the score recounts in the winning change room after a game, May be touch and go in the losing change room tho.

Are Barnsley and Suns playing midweek instead of the weekend so they can have the long weekend off. Didn't realise you could nominate if you played on the weekend or not

Believe that's the reason for the midweek game.

Believe that's the reason for the midweek game.

Yes I can confirm you can nominate to the federation for dates before the season starts. It’s not hard as all clubs have the option when the draft draw comes out

[Lofty]

Stitch up going to Barnsley at the best of teams. But an 8pm kick off on a school night is rough.

Definitely affects player availability. Not sure why the club agreed to be honest haha. You’d think Barnsley would be all over the footy but don’t think it would have been thought of way back when the request was made in pre season

I think it could bring Barnsley into the contest

[HonkingDonkey]

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.

[oneeye]

Masterstroke

With this weather it will be off for sure So Win Win get to see origin and a long weekend!!

Sounds good in theory. Until you realise you only have to go back out and try do it another cold rainy night in Barnsley..

[FlatScreen]

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!!!

[Alton]

What about the favourites for relegation?

[PlasticFan]

You've got it all wrong

Raymond Terrace
Swansea
Suns
Mayfield

[HonkingDonkey]

At this point in time anyone willing to guess the top 4?

1. Mayfield
2. Dudley
3. Suns
4. Kotara (realistically this spot has 3 or 4 teams competing for it, Bero, Swansea, Warners Bay)



What about the favourites for relegation?

Barnsley... they would be red hot favourite for relogation.
Raymond Terrace are doing there best not to let Barnsley run away with it tho.

[The Hacker]

Surely tonight's game is washed out

[PlasticFan]

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.

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

[Lofty]

Barnsley v Suns
Thirds 0-5
Ressies 0-2
Origin 18-14

[HonkingDonkey]

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.

[HonkingDonkey]

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.

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.

With the smarts you feel you have I'm surprised you needed a computer to figure out what everyone else already knows. Also just so you know having a computer isn't really that fancy anymore theyre more of an everyday item for most.
I'll make this easier for you and point out that my last comment had a lot of sarcasm in it, and if I wasn't upset before you tried to point out something I already knew, why would I be upset now.
Also I think the committee meetings are at the ground, that way they are never cancelled due to wet weather ( drainage paying off again). But nice try with the low socioeconomic joke.

[Roundball Enthusiast]

Juuuuust to make things interesting....

Not sure if you all know this, but promotion between ZL1 and ZPL isn't automatic.


(c) Promotion and Relegation between ZF League 1 and ZFL Premier League will be
based on Premiership and the Club’s ability to suit ZPL criteria. This will be
determined by the Joint Board Panel and the Zone Association ZFL Competition
Administrator each season.

Sooo, should Azzuri finish first (they're first in ZL1), it doesn't mean Barnsley automatically get relegated and Azzuri come up. Given the noise Azzuri have made this season, I'm sure Northern, who administer the Zone Associations, will do their best to ensure they don't get promoted.

Promotion and Relegation between ZL1-3 is COMPULSORY, unlike ZL1 and ZPL.


(b) Promotion and Relegation shall be COMPULSORY between ZFL Leagues 1,2,3.

To be fair, I cant think of a time that Northern have every really been involved in a decision like this in Zone Football.
I would think Azzurri's biggest issue wouldn't be Northern or external forces, more that they would need to ensure their home ground meets ZPL criteria (which is a bit higher than ZL1,2,3).

Azzurri obviously have the players as they are undefeated this season. However do not have a home ground.
Barnsley apparently have the best ground in Newcastle. But are last therefore evidently do not have the playing roster.

It’s quite simple, merge the clubs

Well you cleared that up, and showed the caliber of the person you are. Someone who tries for humour in attempting to mock people as being mentally handicapped, not much lower then that in my view. Clearly you feel your better then the handicapped and see them as people worth making fun of, and you must be tough to seeing as your doing it on an anonymous forum

When one team is better then the other, this happens I guess. Was 2-1 to suns half time

So what are the grounds like for wet weather this weekend?
Cardiff?
Beresfield?
Dudley?
Warners Bay ?

[TheBean]

so whats the story with barnsley in the second half. theyve been competitive and solid in the first halves against mayfield and suns (2-0, 2-1) and then just basically given up in the second (7-0), (6-1). attitudes/fitness/coaching?

[PlasticFan]

SORRY GUYS I’M SO LATE!


Barnsley vs. Suns

**** me, I have no idea. Gunna take a stab in the dark. Barnsley to be competitive in the first half but then just give up in the second.

Suns 8-2

Cardiff vs. Mayfield

I was at Mayfield Park last week to see half a game and my god were Mayfield lucky. Pretty much shanked a goal and then their keeper got chipped from well outside the box. Not sure if the Tigers just don’t like getting wet, pretty much played like kittens to be fair. Cardiff have struggled this year, the recruitment drive in the early stages of the season have made them competitive but its just not enough. I have Mayfield winning here but if it rains again it could be a whole other story.

Mayfield 4-0

W. Bay vs. Swansea

I’m going to agree with the earlier tips; this is going to be close. I’ve watched both teams this year and they both have quality up top, but the backline is something that could be worked on. Goals a plenty in this game; at least 1 coach to receive a yellow card.

Swansea 4-3

Dudley vs. Kotara

Plastic Fans Game of the Week.

Unsure if the young whippet is still suspended or not. Pretty much the lynchpin on how this game will go. If he is suspended than Dudley will destroy them, if he isn’t the kick and chase tactic will work. I’m going to give two scores here

Without the whippet – Dudley 2-0
With the whippet – Draw 1-1

Bero vs R. Terrace

Bero should come out firing this week after putting Mayfield to the sword. The RT Crew that usually speaks on the forum have been quiet lately, maybe flooded in due to the rain we have received. I can only see RT winning against Barnsley this year and jagging a couple of draws. They will step into the belly of the beast though, long weekend in Bero, no work Monday (for those of the spectators that have a job), the keyboard warriors will soon find out what real bullying looks like.

Bero 3-1

[The Hacker]

So we are half way through the season are we thinking Mayfield and Dudley are locks for semis. Swansea are pretty close so for me it leaves 4th spot between Kotara, Suns, Bero. If you get the good Suns for a few games on the trot I can't see them missing. What's everyone's thoughts

[HonkingDonkey]

Cardiff vs Raymond Terrace
Not a lot can be said about this game. Its going to be scrapy and pretty much reflect both teams positions on the ladder. Cardiff should have the goods here but word on the street is Raymond Terrace are starting their run at a top 4 spot looking to peak for the finals... If cardiff win this game id say it would make them feel pretty safe about avoiding the drop, they definately need the win to get that gap to Barnsley in last place.
2-0 Cardiff.

Warners Bay vs Barnsley
Well what can you say, Warners bay kept to their form and have flip floped their results again. Barnsley, well, they are last with an impressive -39 goal difference.
nothing else needs to be said. Its a win week for Warners bay and every week is a lose week for Barnsley... BUT the only win Barnsley have this season was a gift from Warners bay so who knows maybe they can get their 2nd... Im saying no.
2-1 Warners bay.

Dudley vs Mayfield
Match of the round. If you are not playing and not in hospital... even if you are in hospital get them to wheel you out to the ground. This would be the game to go to this weekend.
Mayfield, a crack in the armour has been exposed by Bero, having them on the ropes in the rained out game and now making mayfield work to secure a get out of jail draw.
Dudley are coming off a run of wins against the non top 4 teams and will be feeling like the superstars they are. Its hard to call this one, Mayfield may have got the wake up call they needed coming into the next few weeks of big games. Dudley need to do the rest of the league a favour here and get the W to keep Mayfield from just running away with it. Mayfeild will be looking to put this season to bed early and a win here verse Dudley will have them looking pretty comfortable (but lets not start buying ballons yet).
1-1 draw.

Kotara vs Suns
Kotara are fighting the suns for a top 4 spot. They really cant afford to let this chance run by them and they wont with the flash on their side... and well, lets be honest, no one is breaking a land speed record in the suns squad (The suns are more likely to be out the back at the community garden at carrington asking the snails to slow down). lucky for all of us the ZPL isnt a running race.
Suns 1-4


Bero vs Swansea
Bero are confident and after coming off sticking it to Mayfield I am sure they will be more than ready for what swansea has to offer. Swansea gave warners bay a lesson last weekend and will be looking to keep that form rolling on. This will be a good game, with Bero coming out on top. Are bero really top 4 contenders? (or top four pretenders *cough* raymond terrace *cough*)... OR will swansea put them back in their place the way Mayfield failed to do.
Bero 3-2

Clearly your knowledge about football is minimal. Some others in the forum might say that your “not the sharpest tool in the drawer” but I’m not going to stoop that low.

Leaving out Raymond terrace from your top four prediction is like leaving out Mel B from the spice girls.

Wake up to yourself

R Terrace back to L1. Cardiff will get a wild card to stay up.

[Chase_Me]

R Terrace back to L1. Cardiff will get a wild card to stay up.

Hi Jim,

Firstly, welcome to the ZPL forum! The more commenters the stronger the community, the better the forum

I hate to disagree with your first post here, but you clearly haven’t watched Cardiff play, or had a glance at their supporters.

The only way Cardiff players stay up is if their uncles keep touching them.

[KennysWhiteHat.]

Was an incredible display from both teams. A real struggle for third grade from the terrace but they managed to pull of a 3-1 loss which the whole club is proud of. Continuing from that, reserve grade managed to get a 1-2 win and first grade managed a 0-2 win (without Dave Bruce). But Cardiff were always the better team.


Just tricking, they really confirmed my previous statement that Cardiff are easily the worst team I’ve seen in my 30+ years of coaching. Reserve grade for Cardiff we’re lucky not to be down 0-8 after twenty minutes and Cardiff for first grade were lucky not to be down 0-4 at half time.

The amount of cards that were dished out to first grade Cardiff was disgraceful. Think just about every player got one and if you asked me at least 3 should’ve been red.

Cardiff are definitely going to give Barnsley a run for their money for last place as long as Barnsley have that ranga diabetic player in first grade.

I think Cardiff members of the forum will be pretty quiet, pretty silent, very unverbal tonight. They won’t even say much.

I think today has been a pretty big statement on behalf of Raymond Terrace that top 4 is well within our grasp.
Happy birthday for last week for Dottie.

so you keep denying your a terrace fan, but come to watch the 3 grades???? me thinks you hide behind your keyboard to much...trying to start shit, move on you fool.

reggies correct if your blokes new the offside rule you might have scored 8, but you didn't.
on 1st if you think your side dominated the first half, you must have been watching a different game than me, but credit where its due, terrace took there chances Cardiff didn't.
have a nice day.....

Thanks for the friendly welcome. Its a great comp in the Zone.

No need for the uncle. Terrace mums fix everyone.

Didn't know Terrace played football until this year. Apparently you played in other divisions not really known to many.

Suns up 1 early slightly against run of play. Kotara equalised before half time and came back out the stronger going up 3-1. Hat-trick to Chase up front, including a quality 3rd from distance (no long ball goals today!). Suns came back a bit and created a few chances, but couldn't get the equaliser. Kotara deserved the 3 points imo.

Would prefer a neutral report as I can't fully agree with the above.
Quality of game was pretty poor from both sides. Small bumpy pitch made for some average football. The two keepers kicked it to each other numerous times and Kotara's had a couple of 40/20's also.
Keepers both had busy days with some big saves. Suns really tested out the air above the crossbar plenty of times, with the worst of those from 8 yards in the last few minutes. I honestly thought based on the chances a draw would have been a fair result. 5 or 6-all wouldn't have made the keepers look bad IMO.

I did. You said it's poor form from The Suns to 'allow' Dudley to bring their own drinks and drink them. That's rubbish. Every club in the comp has a liquor licence and everyone knows full well that you can't BYO. I struggle to see how you feel the blame is on the host club rather than the opposition club to knowingly do so.

FYI. They were told not to, yet continued to do so.

[United FC]

Unfortunately it was some past players that turned up and did the wrong thing. The club is not happy at all with these guys as no matter what it’s respecting the rules. All clubs committees work hard and it’s very disappointing

Then you call the cops, because if someone was consuming alcohol at your licenced venue and they do something that the alcohol had an affect on the you may be found liable as well.

Pretty poor if it comes to this and very poor on the Dudley people for putting you in that situation. But the cops are the way to go, because they will definitely get them to stop.

It's in the conditions and terms of your liquor license. Funny thing is, from you posting this, anyone can inform Liquor & Gaming NSW about the breach & that you (your club) didn't take the appropriate action for people consuming their own liquor at a licensed venue.

How about you don't blame the club (or people) for your own inability to manage & adhere to your own liquor license.

What if it was just some randoms who rocked up (not affiliated with any club), would you also allow them to continue to consume their own liquor?

Pretty sure this raised its head once before after a semi final against Bero at Connelly Park years ago.

You’re a very sad person. You make all these claims with nothing withstanding behind it.

Not sure what anyone’s father has to do with anything, but good luck to yourself. You’re always good for a laugh pal.

Nah. You guys keep on with the insults , I turn it around, you cry as most bullies do when they cant win.

Im happy with calling out grubs you keep proving me correct.

Jog on or close the club.

[HonkingDonkey]

Hopefully the rain wll piss off and we can get a full round in... looking good atm.

Mayfield vs. Suns
Mayfield need a win vs the grubs to solidify themselves at the top of the ladder and start looking at closing out the season.
A win in this game and I think the Mayfield balloon fund will have to start paying out.
It will be a close game as it always is between these two, 1-1 Draw.

Cardiff vs. Barnsley
...and from the top to the bottom.
It would be the Zone Pub League game of the week as Barnsley need a win to stay alive in the ZPL.
Cardiff will be looking to put Barnsley to bed, like a screaming kicking toodler, I can see this game playing out, Should be firey, expecting some cards.
Thereis plenty on the line for both of these clubs.
Cardiff will get the job done, 3-2.

Dudley vs. Swansea
Top 4 teams fighting it out. Swansea have the A-league super star... Dudley are the A-League superstars... what a match.
Expecting a lot of goals, whinging and the odd bit of shirt tugging and chest bumping.
Draw 2 - 2... but niether team is known for their defensive abilities. This could just blow out to who can bang the most goals in and atm Swansea would probably be the favourites for that.

Kotara vs. Raymond Terrace
No need to invest anymore time in this than it took to write that sentence.
Kotara, by more than 3, I mean Raymond Terrace have the best defender in the league, right? atm I think the only thing he would be the best at is picking balls out of nets.

Bero vs. Warners Bay
Will be a solid scrappy game of football. Both clubs are looking to prove they have the goods to make the top 4... in the end they will both fall short but for now they will keep trying.
Warners Bay, same old story, which team is going to turn up... I can see them getting the win here but I can also see them just not showing up.
The safe betting option is Bero and I will go with that. both teams love a scrap so this would be another good game to just sit and watch the greatest game in the world on dislay while you smash half a dozen tinnies.
Bero 2-1.

How do you feel about the Swansea vs Kotara match coming up? think it will have any impact on the top 4? playing out at swansea might be an issue for Kotara?
What about Raymond Terrace vs Mayfield out at the Terrace, are mayfield going to travel well? or could this be the week Raymond Terrace start their finals run?



Long way back for the Bulldogs
Not unattainable, but it would be safe to say that Barnsley are deep in it.


And Mayfield putting the Grubs to the sword. It really could be time the balloons come out, wont be too many more wins before they seal the deal on this for the ?second? year in a row? When was the last time they even lost a league game? Last season it was 13 wins and 44 points to get the job done. They are on 30 points atm with 9 wins, can anyone catch/stop them? 6 rounds to go, they need 4 wins to match their last season. I dont want to bring it up but they have been know to drop the ball at cruical times before.

Dudley v Swansea
3rds 2-1
Reggies 1-1
1st 3-0
Tight contest in first. Both Swansea and Dudley tried to play football which made for an entertaining match. Swansea missed a penalty on the stroke of half time. 2nd half Dudley were to strong and for the Swans. Their back 4 is what will stop them winning the comp I think. Cause their front half have quality but the back half isn't nearly as strong. As for Dudley they were clinical and Swans just couldn't match them. Hats off to both coaches for both having their teams knock the pill around

[PlasticFan]

Cognito posted this two weeks ago - "Mayfield are now undefeated in 29 league games going back to round 17 of the 2017 season." - so that would make it like 30 wins now.

I wouldn't count Raymond Terrace out of the race yet lads. I'm jumping on the Bandwagon, Terrace to go undefeated and win the entire comp. Starts this week against Mayfield too.

Rumour has it that Mayfield are shaking in their boots ahead of the much anticipated match up against the mighty Terrace Rangers. I have even heard whispers that a few of their players are keeping with their Friday night past time of stealing cars, but tonight they are going one step further. They plan to take their stolen 1993 toyota camry to King Park and take matters into their own hands. To put it in the words of the mayfield coach "if you can't beat em, do sum fully sick skids on their park". The Mayfield boys had some trouble hearing this from their coach due to him choking on the thought of another Grandfinal slipping away from him.

What is going on in ZPL land!


Lets talk 4th place, the top 3 I think are pretty much settled.
Kotara - 1 game in hand and 3 points ahead of the grubs, set up well to finish 4th. its theirs to throw away.
Grubs FC - 1 game in hand and 3 points out of 4th. Their goal difference suggests they should be 4th and they will edge Kotara out on GD if they get equal, they just need the points.
Bero - no games in hand and their GD suggests they should be 7th. They were on a good run of form till last week, will they bounce back and fight for 4th or fade? 4 points out is rough need 2 wins.
Warners Bay - 5 pts out of 4th BUT 2 games in hand, IF! they get their shit together and win those 2 games they will be 4th. The dark horse, diamond in the rough. the longy you put yourlast $50 on and pray.


I like a good challenege so Ill back Warners Bay, the kings of inconsistancy to come good and snag that 4th place spot. They are in a reasonably good position, they just need to get the points on the board (its all good to talk about games in hand but you still got to win them).

Then there is the dregs of ZPL, Raymond Terrace, Cardiff and well at this point I think its well and truely clear that Barnsley are the ZPL version of struggle street right now, just going week to week just doing the best they can to survive while still budgeting 2 packs of ciggys (get them JPs into ya) and a carton of passionfruit Red Bears. Hang in there! it is only 5 matches till its all over and realistically if Barnsley some how snag a win or two that bottom three will be hotter than the curry you got from Sapphire the other night.

Those are the predicitions for the run home. We looked at it. Im not sure where the comedy happened.

Warners Bay: Dudley(L) - Kotara(W) -Mayfield(L) - Raymond Terrace(W) - Swansea(L) + Suns(W) + Cardiff(W) = 12

With taking that into account. I'd expect 3rds and reggies to struggle but the Suns 3rds are coming second. Suns best available 11 is surely better than anything Terrace can put out. I would think there might be something else

Thirds have been jagging wins the last few weeks. Nothing convincing and the ladder is super close. Ressies have been struggling the most. Firsts without a lot of boys so they’ve gone up to fill spots in firsts which leaves holes in ressies. I’m sure that’s the case at all clubs, but have just been struggling with numbers. Today was the worst.

What was the difference between Saturday and tonight

It wasn’t 60km winds. One or two who missed out on the weekend were available again and we just took our chances. Played some good football and scored some great goals. 3 in the first 6 minutes.

They have swapped L2 and L3 grounds around, was an error. Bit like reading out the wrong winner of next top model or the voice really. Nothing major.

Hey Lads, Sorry its been a while. After my last post, i received relentlessness bullying from Raymond Terrace supporters; I needed to do some soul searching, taking some time away to really find myself and figure out who i want to be in this online anonymous world we post in. Glad to be back.

Can't believe I missed Mayfield cough it up against Swansea, reports say that it was the worst free kick in ZPL this year only outdone by the worst bit of goal keeping Mayfield have produced in 3 years. I'm not sure whats worse.

Also the top of the table looks like its a case of who is gunna score the most in the last 3 weeks.

Dudley - 36 Points; 50 Goals Scored - +41
Mayfield - 36 Points; 49 Goals Scored - +41
Swansea - 33 Points 51 Goals Scored - +24

Only included Swansea to be nice.

Also while I was soul searching I was sent a link that heaps of the NEWFM teams didn't apply for a license. With most likely this division turning into the 2nd tier of Newy Football. What do we think will happen? The others to drop down and push out the bottom half of the table? Despite being normally safe from relegation will 7th-10th go to ID1's?

[oneeye]

So who wins it from here ?

Dudley - 36 Points; 50 Goals Scored - +41
Cardiff (H) Suns (H) Kotara (A)

Mayfield - 36 Points; 49 Goals Scored - +41
Warners Bay (H) Beresfield (A) Cardiff (H)

Dudley are simply more clinical. Every time I've seen Mayfield play they butcher chances left and right; if they have the ball on their left foot you may as well get up for a goal kick. Its Dudley's to lose.

Dudley to come 1st and Suns to sneak into the Top 4. The Greatest rivalry in ZPL History will sort the boys from the men.

I am concerned how they’re going to work out the comp next year. I don’t think the teams above should be automatic ZPL starts. So either federation just says too bad and pushes the clubs that have kept themselves in ZPL or they create another league as stated.
I think they would go for another comp as if they push ZPL teams down other teams and that would be messy and ugly

Messy and Ugly? you've described the zone league system to a tee, the push down will most likely happen and ZPL will start having long trips to Singo for a Wednesday night wash out.

It would be nice to know whats happening!

At least then we'd know how much effort we need to put into trying to win games and avoid going down. I'd much rather kick the crap out people for our next few games and not worry to much about football!

Can't see much changing...
A couple of teams will swap between NPL and NEWFM, if be surprised to see any real change to the ZPL structure.

i think it could be the other way around, move teams up to the second tier, Northern cant afford to drop that much cash.
10 teams worth of entry fees. x rego for 10 teams x 60+ players, more if you include the youth teams....a 10/12 team NPL just doesn't bring that much cash in.

Swansea v Suns

Ressies 0-1 (Suns had 2 fresh for ressies, all of thirds backed up. Bloody gutsy effort!)
Firsts 2-1. How Tony still gets appointed as referee in this division is bemusing to say the least. Made the game about him and ruined a good game of football.

What is with the lack of players at the Suns. That reggies result is a great one against a strong reserve grade in Swansea

Injuries, injuries and more injuries. Unfortunately lost about 5 to season ending injuries. Work commitments, overseas holidays and then player numbers down meaning thirds playing two games every week has led to more niggly injuries. Haven’t seen it like this before. We had 25 players available today. Pretty solid effort from everyone involved.

Did you lads cop some red cards to to rub salt into the wound

Of course they did, 3 red cards.
2 players and a coach..
Then they try and blame the refs for their stupidity!!
Numerous suns players and coaching officials calling the ref a C...t probably doesn't help either..
Typical suns I guess!

How good is it! The grubs aren't playing the finals and they're not taking it well :D

[Lofty]

Did you lads cop some red cards to to rub salt into the wound

Yes. Two for second yellows and deservingly so both in the last five minutes. The first red was for back chat and then blocking a keeper kick. Rules are rules.
The second red was for two late fouls. That’s football in those conditions when everything is on the line.
Maybe if you don’t care then those things don’t happen, but our boys wore their hearts on their sleeves today and that happens.
Easy for everyone here to label things as they wish. The game was a tough battle with yellows for both sides.
The standard of poor refereeing was in the first half. No complaints about the warranted cards. Take it however you like.
Assistant coach sent for saying “are you ****ing serious”. Not the best comment to make, but I’m sure not the first to make that comment this year. Possibly the first to be sent for it.

Ah yes, "wearing heart on the sleeve" is another poor excuse for poor sportsmanship and moronic actions.

History states that Suns cannot lose gracefully and thus resorts to grub behaviour.

Happened so many times. No club is perfect but this is exceptional.

Well done to the finalists. Play hard but fair.

Leave the comments on the game to people that were there. You’ve only shown pure hatred and angst towards the Suns. I don’t think anyone takes what you say seriously other than seeking attention.
Good luck to those in the finals. It’s been a tough year.
