2013 Zone League 1 Thread

[Drunken ranger]

Comp is of decent standard I think terrace to smash it and get promotion #go terrace #zpl 2014

[gny]

This season if your not on your game you will get beat teams every team this year has some sort of quality

[Gary]

Overall standard in 1st grade has improved since 2012,there is a considerable gap in strength between the higher & lower ranked teams in 3rds & ressies though..my predictions for this weekend are:
-Nelson bay
-Bero
-Wallsend
-Suburbs
-Kotara

[Titan]

Terrace vs kotara result?

[gny]

Kotara 4 terracr 1, again im
Not making excuses but missing 1st graders AGAIN!!!!!! But new signing next so will be good, all credit to kotara they finished there chances and played well

[KSSFC]

Terrace vs Kotara
3rd grade 0-9
Res grade 1-3
1st grade 1-4

[RANGER09]

Terrace vs Kotara
3rds 0-8
Res 1-3
1st 1-4, probably worst game i have seen the boys play this season,

[hawk]

lol, are we sure of the scores?

[namwob99]

lol, are we sure of the scores?

You're a shit stirrer. Lol

[hawk]

You're a shit stirrer. Lol

was more that 3 threw up the results like an avalanche.

[Gary]

Great result for Kotara,I for one was not surprised with the results across all grades..Kotara are strong.Missing a few 1st graders is no excuse Terrace,that's what having depth in reserves & 3rds are for..

[Hiratio_Hufnagel]

newyjet[/B];37708]When might that be?
Newyjet 4 weeks ago you called the KS Tigers season off too early!!!

[Eleganceisirrelevant]

Wallsend 5 Morisset 1.
Great result as this puts wallsend now even on goal difference with the terrace with a game in hand. Watch out lads!!

[Nou Camp]

Suburbs vs suns
1sts 3-1 suns
Res 2-1 suns
3rds 4-2 suburbs

[Hiratio_Hufnagel]

Belmont vs Nelson Bay
2-0 NBay, tough game against belmont @ Baxter Field.

[hawk]

Suburbs vs suns
1sts 3-1 suns
Res 2-1 suns
3rds 4-2 suburbs

Suns looked to be a little slow in the first 15 and i thought were going to do it tough but they improved, were more organised and probably won the physical battle as well. Suburbs seem to have lost alot of confidence especially going forward. Subs did their best work when suns got a red card for the last 10.

[MorissetDeadset]

wallsend 5-1 morisset solid fluent play by the wallsend team, thoroughly outplayed the morisset, good ball control and worked hard for their possession of the ball, handy goal from the morisset striker but they'll need plenty of work if they want to make a serious push for the back half of the season.

[Titan]

belmont vs nelson bay
1st - 2-0 bay, good hard game.
I thought we could have won this game, we played hard, had field position and plenty of opportunities. The difference today was in front of goals, bay were gifted 2 goals, a spill by the keeper in first 5-10 mins then with 5-10mins to go a free header. Belmont didnt get a single on target shot off based on poor shooting rather than defensive pressure, nor did we capitalise on the long throw, cnr's or freekicks. Couldnt buy a bounce in final 3rd.
The game was played in good spirits, refereeing was fantastic, would have him back anytime(best ref had in years). Nelson bay, may have had some players out cause they didnt seem strong enough based on where they are sitting on the table. Althought, they defo have the ingredients for a winning team.
Not happy with the result but its not through a lack of effort, just got to hold teams out, not giving up easy goals, get a bounce or 2 & score some of our opportunities.

[gny]

When is wallsends catch up?

[Eleganceisirrelevant]

Getting played Tuesday week at the gardens!

[RANGER09]

Getting played Tuesday week at the gardens!

is this a bit of tactical planning seeing as you play the Bay on the Saturday and Bero play on the Sunday, giving you an extra days recovery :wink:

[holding_midfield]

anyone revising their top 4s given the wkends results?

[hawk]

When is Kotara Suns catchup?

[gny]

In no order
Terrace wallsend bay burbs or kotara, kotara have found new life?

[holding_midfield]

When is Kotara Suns catchup?

Thursday night i believe.

gny - last two weeks have been the first time kotara have had anything resembling their best starting XI. still one or two to come back in too.

[Eleganceisirrelevant]

Kotara always come home with a wet sail!!! Love injuries early in the year it seems.
I think kotara will definately be top 4 without a doubt and a danger in gf! Bay and wallsend to fight out premiership, massive massive game this Saturday in the bay!

[gny]

I know how you feel not having your best 11 every week were still yet to field our possible best 11, hopefully this week could be that week and also will be fielding our new signing who will be one of the better central midfielders in this comp,
Also this comp is great to be apart so strong pretty much anyone can beat anyone if your not on your game

[holding_midfield]

will be fielding our new signing who will be one of the better central midfielders in this comp

nathan someone? Forget his last name. Saw him up there on the wkend, havent seen him play in a while, was decent back at azzurri tho

[gny]

Yeah nathan. We thought we had him at the start of the year but good to have him now,

[darthmuller]

Yeah nathan. We thought we had him at the start of the year but good to have him now,

Does this Nathan have a surname?

[LINGERA]

andrews

[holding_midfield]

Nelsons bay v wallsend big game for both teams, never easy getting 3 points at the bay

[Titan]

Nelsons bay v wallsend big game for both teams, never easy getting 3 points at the bay

good game, ill tip wallsend, they will pass bay to death especially that big field up there= tire them out. Plus wallsends forward has speed which bay will battle with.

[sutho]

Wallsend 2-0

[RANGER09]

Bay to get up 1-0 with 10 men :grin:
Burbs to get their mojo back with a win over "Motown"
Kotara to do it tough over Bero
Titans to slip one past Kahibah
Terrace in a close one vs Suns, Bobby to break his drought!:tongue:

[Titan]

Looked at the weather outlook, can't see Sunday getting played...

[gny]

Supposed to get some serious rain!!!!!!!! Hope it holds off tonight, hows carro holding the water?

[Nou Camp]

Results from suns vs terrace
1sts 2-0 suns

First grade with Kotara on Thursday should be an excellent game with both teams building some good form

[amishpanda]

Bay v Wallsend:
3rds: 4-0 Wallsend
Res: 1-1 draw
1sts: 2-1 Wallsend

[amishpanda]

Bay v Wallsend:
3rds: 4-0 Wallsend
Res: 1-1 draw
1sts: 2-1 Wallsend

Good, hard game in a bog for firsts. I'm sure there will be a few lads to sleep well tonight. Bay are a good side and will definitely feature at finals time. They've certainly flown under the radar with the quality they have.

Coach is a peanut though, cheers to the lads that tempered his desire to try and fight the entire first grade squad after the game.

[Hiratio_Hufnagel]

Wallsends passing was very sharp today in the mud pit conditions, bay got one back with a header 10 to go making the last 10 mins interesting, last 5 a 50/50 ball where the bay player megged the gk, ball in the back of the net was disallowed for gk infringement which was a harsh ref call, unlucky not to get a point at the end. Credit to Wallsend for there Fast, Sharp passing style of Football

[Gary]

Can we get a breakdown on the Suns v Terrace matches?congratulations to Wallsend & the Suns by the way,both the Terrace & The Bay are hard teams to take 3 points from..

[RANGER09]

I think the winner yesterday was the Suns Kavapi rolls , had 2 myself on recommendation from their boys, looking at their 3rd grade either they borrowed under 16 shirts or they enjoy a few themselves :roflz:
Hard to watch from the sideline when your injured but Suns had good numbers for all grades we struggled yet again with numbers. 3rds were out competed, res could have gone either way as we could not buy a goal yesterday but had plenty of chances, 1 st we started with a guy who just played 3rd and res grade waiting for Les to finish work, must of been a hard day cause he didn't have usual impact, guys went down 2-0 before he made it on the park, missed the first goal due to watching the kids but was told it was a good lobbed shot from a fair way out and second was scrappy goal from inside the six yard box, our boys had a few chances but lacked fluency and possession. Hopefully will change and get back to winning a few games and get the confidence back up. But we'll done to the Suns taking all 9 points

[hawk]

Suns are contenders winning their last 4.

[gny]

Suns got 2 goals in first 10 besides that there was not really any chances to speak of to be honest nothing clear cut, really a mid field battle both teams struggled to find there front men, both teams played well in patches with passing. End of the day suns deserved 3 points. Terrace to debut 2 new players next week

[Premy]

Morisset V Suburb called off

[Titan]

belmont vs kahibah off

[RANGER09]

Titan how come you and Premy have the same quote at the bottom of your post's?

must be close maytes?

butt srz Shankly was a great man

[Titan]

Titan how come you and Premy have the same quote at the bottom of your post's?

yeah im gunna have to change it...

belmont vs morisett makeup game= tuesday is 3rd, and thursday 1st & res. Bottom of the table battle...its go time!!!

[Premy]

Titan how come you and Premy have the same quote at the bottom of your post's?

No need to change the quote Titan anyone who respects Shankly is tops in my book.
@ Ranger if by chance you genuinely don't know the quote, it was said by Bill Shankly (former Liverpool F.C manager) there is confusion as to when he first said it but most people will refer to when he said it in response to a report that ask him about how some people see football as a matter of life and death. As to the man himself he is probably the single biggest figure of LFC history and the famous gates you walk threw to get into Anfield and are prominent on mondern day LFC crest are called the Shankly gates as you walk into Anfield the 1st thing you see is a massive bronze statue of the man himself. Hope that clarifies it for you

[RANGER09]

Cheers Premy good bit of info to share LFC, might have to do a bit of googling and learn some more!

End of the day suns deserved 3 points. Terrace to debut 2 new players next week

fair assessment of the game, wouldve taken a draw considering we had a couple out but on the day we went in with a game plan and a few experienced players really held it together

Apologies for the cold showers, we have asked/told council a number of times to fix the hot water, expected completion date round 17... 2015

[gny]

Yeah again we were missing players story of our season lucky we are where we are with new guys and other players returning this week,
Yeah few of the boys were shattered with the cold showers haha

Wallsend V Bero tonight at the Gardens

Wallsend V Bero tonight at the Gardens
Ressies @ 6:15
Firsts @ 8

Ressies: 2-1 Wallsend, which from my opinion was generous to Berro.

1sts: 8-0 Wallsend, which from my opinion was generous to Berro.

[Hiratio_Hufnagel]

How were the legs holding from saturdays muddy match?
were the Beresfield fresh from no game on the weekend? have players out?

[darthmuller]

How were the legs holding from saturdays muddy match?
were the Beresfield fresh from no game on the weekend? have players out?

The legs were fine from Saturday, although they might not be so fine after last night's game.

For the first 2 and half minutes, Berro looked
a decent team....then the tackles started flying. Tackles from behind, from the side and then off the ball mug shots. Worst disciplined side I have seen for a long time, and that's including Azzuri's state league side.

Full credit to our boys though for keeping heads and playing fluent passing football which made Berro look silly. 5-0 at half time, foul count 4796-2.

[amishpanda]

Gosh, wasnt the pitch soft/heavy on Saturday? Most of us pulled up fine after the three day recovery though. I wouldn't exactly call the game free-flowing either. The guy who was most puffed was probably the referee, from having to blow his whistle constantly.

To reinforce the above comment: My guess is that any of their decent players are suspended due wracking up seventy billion yellow cards. Some (most) of the challenges were late and deplorable, and intentionally so.

They played the exact same way against Morisset in the first round, couldnt belive no one had brought up their constant fouling in this thread before now

[amishpanda]

They dont have much of a presence on here, I think. Most teams will be happy to outplay the shit out of them and move on with their lives.

I'll back Morri to take points from them second round. You lost out at Pasadena, but its always tough on their futsal pitch. Use your quick blokes high-and-wide to out-flank their mostly horrible D. Their wide mids have some speed, so you'll have to find a way in behind them by running off the strikers - who should come to feet and play from there.

From memory, you have some quality in the middle. They'll come flying in at you if you hold it up. Push it past them, take the knock and get a foul. They will then get angsty, bitch and moan and call you soft, but you'll be in a better playing position for it.

[gny]

So pretty much beros way is if we are not good enough just kick? And if we are good enough kick anyways? Hahaha

[Premy]

They dont have much of a presence on here, I think.
They usually only come on here to say not very pleasant things about the suns

[Mitchy]

Why say that to bring it up and make it worst? Have you not read the arguments in the NBN thread about the Greeks and Macedonia?

Speaking from my point of view I being from Beresfield would rather not come on here and get caught up with half the shit you blokes go on with


Also dont like getting kicked so what? its part of the game you get kicked and get back up again, wonder why everyone gives this sport a bad name about being pussies

Harden the **** up


Fire up Beroooooo!

[Stevieg]

Not sure what game you where watching mitchy , the Wallsend boys gave it back twice as hard and the Bero players reverted to taking players out off the ball , No 4 was a special for it , you talk about giving the game a bad name , when you turn up to play like that , it's not even considered football , 5 yellow and 8-0 later , maybe a different approach is needed

[amishpanda]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Beresfield United! I hope you enjoyed the show.

1. I have not read the NBN thread
2. Apart from a few trolls and fishermen on here, there is a surprising amount you can learn about football and the competition through these discussions. Obviously, the ability for Beresfield to discuss the game is about on par with their ability to play it (nada).
3.We did get kicked, we did get back up, and we embarassed you in the process. There is a difference between playing a hard, fair game to taking players out off the ball and intentionally targeting players. I suggest you go and watch a few Bay/Suns (amonst others') games. Those boys will play a physical brand of football, but can also put a passage of play together.

And yes. Fire up Berro. Fire up for the season that never was.

[darthmuller]

If you were not there, then you would have no idea what we were talking about. This renders your opinions invalid.

Has any club heard anything from the federation about applying for the GF this year?
or are they only going to allow NBN & 2nd dvision teams host it like last year

[Eleganceisirrelevant]

By the sounds of your soccer knowledge you really must be quite the player. And I'm sure most clubs would love to have you, the brand of football Bero play is disgusting and a complete embarrassment. 5 minutes didn't go by without a horrendous challenge not a bad one, disgusting. So go back to whatever forum you deserve in and GOODLUCK.

[Hiratio_Hufnagel]

He will be back hacking with Berro
Next year
Berro are the grubbiest team in our league, all the other teams have played in good spirit, I would be happy to lose to Belmont and Morrisett to get these GRUBS Relegated!!!
By the way Mitchy just setting the Bait

The game followed that pattern, i imagine they struggle away from home since they play on a futsal court as you said, the biggest problem is the ref has to take charge from the get go if the match is being played out in that sort of manner, we probably had 50 odd free kicks in the middle third and the ref continued to purely award a free kick, no card was issued until an actual brawl broke out between one of thier strikers and one of our players which was pretty uncomfortable, the bero player was snarling like a rabid dog. Even after this a mere yellow card was issued. Bero will keep playing like this if lenient refs allow them too...

Surprisingly correct. A below average player at Lakes. Playing 19's - or at best getting a run in 23's.
In any case, he's below the notice of the more prominent players in first grade there.

Before you go attempting to insult people in lower divisions, just remember that playing in these divisions can sometimes be a choice. The irony is that the majority of Wallsend players have played for lakes at some stage in their career, some as late as last year, and all at a higher level than you are currently playing.
So grow up champ.

[Fridge]

Any chance of any footy this weekend?? Especially the Terrace v Suburb game.

[darthmuller]

So I will be joining you from your performance last weekend practically gifting wallsend the 3points?

Mate, nobody gifts Wallsend points. We play teams out of games with our fluent passing and speed all over the park. Only one team has managed to steer clear of the typical long ball style of play that the comp seems to stick to, and that was Bay last weekend.

They managed to match it with us in skill and short passing on what was a difficult muddy pitch to play.

To reinforce my point, no one gifts us points, we earn them.

Terrace

Suburbs & Suns on a charge though!

On the forum is what I mean.

[supa]

few things probably worth clearing up on here....from someone that has something to do with the club.

1-we played absolutely shite against wallsend, and i only watched the first half. completely outclassed by a FAR better side.

2-yes a fair few players were out due to work, family etc. however no excuse to get beat by that score in this division as their should be some element of depth to the squad.

3-Now the good stuff that everyone has suddenly decided to comment on...those FEW (and i emphasize few as i can guarantee it is not the entire squad/club) bringing that rubbish brand of football each weekend simply going out to 'smash' opposition around the park will find themselves not having a ball to kick around on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon as it is most definitely not the way we want to play our football, its a fine line between having a bit of mongrel and playing dangerously. and as every single person that seen/heard that result would agree, it clearly didn't help the scoreline. certain players were getting beyond frustrated as they were being outclassed and chose to react with poor sportsmanship rather than increased effort, definitely not what the club wanted to see/nor will it tolerate again. slow process but the club will be better for it in the long term without the "YOBBO" attitude (thanks NB)!

4-Beresfield United and Beresfield FC are TWO COMPLETELY separate clubs that have no committee/player/financial affiliation.

did i miss anything???

[Hiratio_Hufnagel]

No, looks like you have cleared the issues of the people that just dont get it, well done supa. just dont want to see any player in our competition get seriously injured by some idiot not going for the ball

[namwob99]

Pretty sure you can only dual register with two different clubs?
Just thought I seen the same striker at both teams games, could be wrong though, just asking / seeing

E50 MULTIPLE COMPETITIONS REGISTRATION
A Player MAY NOT 'DUAL REGISTER' ie register for more than one Team across more than one Club.

The only way to do it is to transfer. And its deadline day today!!

[amishpanda]

did i miss anything???

Nah mate. It's good to know that isn't the club/squad mentality.

[Eleganceisirrelevant]

Nailed it!!!
Couldn't have been more spot on and I'm glad this has been cleared up and explained.

The standard has been pretty good this year, lets keep it that way.

Where was the bay mo town game played also results other grades

It was played on our 2nd field next to the AFL field where we played Kahibah, the ground was a smooth flat pitch good to play football on by half time it turned into a duck pond played in Torrential Rain for the entire game, better to play on than the number 1 field which is sponge sinking pitch. After today's games both our fields are unplayable for next home games but lucky we have 3 back up fields to play on. The MTown Goal Keeper pulled off some incredible saves to keep it at 2-0 at Half Time.
Reserve Grade - Morisett were leading 3-1at HT, Nelson Bay got it back to 3-3 and got a PK with a min left in the game but was Saved.
Didn't get to see 3rd Grade
Nelson Bay got the 3 points

[Nave]

NBay vs MTown
Played in Duck Pond conditions
6-0

Credit to the Bay boys for how they played on Sunday, shows what a quality team they are to get such an emphatic win in such dreadful conditions, i will say however the Assistant ref on the far side was an absolute nuffie and shouldnt be refereeing in our grade ever again, not only was his AR'n not up to scratch his performance as the 3rd grade centre from what i saw was pretty sub par also, didnt know his indirect free kick law from inside the box...

[Eleganceisirrelevant]

If this assistant you are talking about is the same one I am thinking! We had him at Belmont and he was a disgrace. I'm not sure he actually watches the game at times and causes alot of frustration!

He was a bigger, older bloke really had no clue, im a former referee and i was appalled at some of the decisions he made, time for him to go back to ref school

I'm pretty sure I know the one you're talking about. ABSOLUTE CLOWN. Apparently one of the other ref's is his son or something? That's second hand info; but we get the same ref's every time we play them up there; and every year the same thing... appalling.

Wallsend 2 Kotara 1.

Quality game in patches played in pretty bad field conditions, very hard to stay on your feet. Kotara were the usual tough opponents who never lay down and will always keep coming. Including a screamer in the last 10!!!

On a sour note, yet another referee that was absolutely horrible, no idea and wanted to talk to everyone after every incident. Needs to stop!!!!

Yep

[amishpanda]

I'll elaborate on the Wallsend/Kotara 1st grade match.

Kotara have, in my opinion, one of the better midfield units in the competition. On par with our own and Burbs (on their day) - The left-footer in the middle moves and switches the ball exceptionally well, and can pick a man with a long ball. Where they do lack though, is fire-power up front. The goal came from a midfield screamer (as mentioned before) in the final 10, but other than that lacked a structural offensive build up.
In saying that though, it wasnt a game for chances. Opportunities were few and far between for both teams. Once again, the game turned into a slog in the mud (esp. for the lads playing out wide).

As for the course of the game, a decently slotted headed goal in the first half gave us the lead semi-early, and was the only truly stand out moment in the inital period. The second half was mostly Kotara though. They kept possession well and kept coming.
We got another one midway through the second, through a piece of brilliance in the middle (side-footed, flicky nutmeg onto a decently timed run straight through the centre) to ease the pressure, and took it as a chance to sit back a little...which was a mistake - these lads dont give up, haha.
The goal in the final 10: You wont see much better. Fell to a mid in some space outside the box, slamed top right corner (where else would you put it?). Last 10 was pretty frantic, but D got the job done.

Be a shame if these lads didnt make finals - def a top 4 team.

[SHARMENS]

Controversial Lingera. Suburbs weren't far off Barnsley last yr and despite the ladder don't suck. And last season wbay (or maybe B Parker) showed it can be done better. Maybe lumberjack is the new BP.

I think you will find when Brady Parker went to warnersbay which was the start of the second round, the boys were 6 points clear at the top of the table and thats where they finished so to say "or maybe B Parker " as he did it him self is not why the bay did so well last year he went in to an already quality and winning side ... Dont get me wrong he scored alot of goals and played well but it was made easy for him as they already had a quality side out there its a shame they didnt keep that squad....

I know this isn't zone premier thread but let's face it, warners bay will probably be in this division next year, what has happened to their team from last year? Where did the best players go besides Brady Parker as I know where he is.

the field at the terrace use to be a few years ago 110 meters long and 90 meters wide.
felt for the refs who were use to just standing in the centre circle , they actually had to run a bit.

[alex the lion]

Terrace field is 100 x 70. This is about the same size as most fields are set at for international matches. It was 118 x 90 about 5yr ago.

seventy minutes of football played in the right spirit and then a simple push becomes a choke hold and a punch-how clever is that-not

On a scale from 1 to 'really f***ing fast', LJ is 'really f***ing fa-'

If he was 'st' quicker could've been a different result.

Being terraces 1st grade keeper I thought gardo were outstanding few new players from when we last played them made a difference, also lezs volley 1st goal what'd you think premy? Mate the kid that through the gay punch full on Christian was amazed he through one

I'd love to know how fast les runs the 100

[Guiltykeep]

From what I remember only
Clerky was out last game we played you guys.. We had couple. That played reserves last time step up.. Les volley was amazing I had no chance with it (burbs keeper if you didn't know

[gny]

He's a c##t to face at training 18 yards out just hitting bombs,Thought both teams were pretty clinical, good hard game though

[gny]

Lez used to run the hundred in bit over 10 half seconds when he was young and quick, he's just pedestrian now hahahaha

The bloke sure can hit a ball I don't think Guiltykeep haha has seen it yet was some finish. Yeah I spoke to him after the game shock hands and said our sorrys it's a shame what happened because as Outsider said (who I did see today with his trusty note pad) before that the game was played in good spirt, I think we both got caught up in the moment and it escalated pretty quick neither of us came out of it smelling of roses and we both probably wish we acted different.

Question for you Outsider are we looking at more then 2 games on the sideline?

Very enjoyable game yesterday and better than many at NBN and NEW FM level.Players of both sides were very committed but Garden Suburbs showed little respect in front of goals and should have had at least 6 more,especially the open goal where the forward completely missed the ball on the goal line with the keeper or any other defender no where to be seen.Terrace defence was ordinary for much of the game(would hate to be the GK)but to be fair ,there were some great goals scored at both ends.Game was a good recommendation for ID football.Congratulations to both teams.

[darthmuller]

If a team cannot field a full strength team week in, week out. And also have only one team doing well in a grade, are they worthy of promotion?

Having 3 first grade players out should never be an excuse for losing multiple games in a row. Good clubs who deserve promotion should have depth throughout the grades to cover for these losses.

[amishpanda]

Kahibah v Wallsend:
3rds: kahibah victory (not sure on score)
ressies: 1-3/4?? Wallsend
Firsts: 0-4 Wallsend

Not to stick it to you further, but I think the other lads are trying to make the point that relying on "guys coming back" implies that there is no depth in the club?
In any case, get them back quick. We want this season to finish out as a ripper!

[gny]

We knew we were thin, this season is shaping up as a ripper Amish you guys seem to be the class act, even tho our mid season stumbles have been horrid we still hold 2nd, bay keeping quite, I thought kotara suns for 4th but suburbs seem to be over there bad run and are playing impressive football
6-4 is ridiculous but wasn't magic v Olympic 5-4 or something? Cause that's normal

Barnsley who had just won promotion into zl1 had two teams in grand finals and the other Knocked out in the semis. Gardo have also been very competitive across all grades since their promotion. I can't see terrace gaining promotion this year as wallsend seem too strong across all 3 grades. Every team will need to deal with injuries and players unavailable for whatever reason but there seems to be only one using it as an excuse (even if they say it's no excuse)

[Drunken ranger]

Anything bero involved in is ugly just ask wallsend lol

I'm hearing rumors of an ugly incident at bero. Any further comment?

Centre back from suns did an impersonation of zidane. After a small foul from the bero striker, he took exception to it and tried to put his forehead through him. The usual melee of pushing and shoving ensued but nothing major. Should see him out for a few weeks. Bero striker eventually back to his feet and managed another goal. I thought the game was being played in a reasonable spirit up until this point (a couple of niggling fouls but nothing major) so was a little surprised when it occurred. May be put down to frustration from the suns?

very difficult not to get frustrated playing on the pasadena postage stamp. very nice to get an account of what occurred from someone that was at the fixture before the shite got flinged around. from all accounts it was simply a brain explosion from the suns player.

smooth deflection away from the topic of your club , not sure if it's a dig at bero or wallsend but im sure we will find out more at this so called 'derby' between the two clubs that have only played each other once in the last ten or so years...

[gny]

I don't consider us and bero a derby really, us and bay are they derby that we like to be involved in, I'm sure bay players will say the same

this was my understanding..


Terrace bero was a derby game when both in 2hd in 80's it always was a fixture not too miss no dig at wallsend just highlighting bero previous tactics
can't comment on that as this is the first i have heard of it, personally only been about the club for approx. 10 years.. Bero have only one real derby and thats Thornton. been a while since their was one and pretty likely to be a bit longer yet til we see it again. tactics? previously discussed and put to bed :deadhorse: if you genuinely think that a clubs coach would send players out with the intention of hurting others you'd probably also think that the suns coach has them watching zidane replays and headbutting brick walls at training. :banghead: INDIVIDUALS have acted poorly, not by tactical influence from the coach nor the culture of the club, and have been disciplined accordingly by the club. regardless, looking forward to a beer on Saturday and a great day of football, which the Terrace will no doubt bring to the mix. :pissup:


few things probably worth clearing up on here....from someone that has something to do with the club.

1-we played absolutely shite against wallsend, and i only watched the first half. completely outclassed by a FAR better side.

2-yes a fair few players were out due to work, family etc. however no excuse to get beat by that score in this division as their should be some element of depth to the squad.

3-Now the good stuff that everyone has suddenly decided to comment on...those FEW (and i emphasize few as i can guarantee it is not the entire squad/club) bringing that rubbish brand of football each weekend simply going out to 'smash' opposition around the park will find themselves not having a ball to kick around on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon as it is most definitely not the way we want to play our football, its a fine line between having a bit of mongrel and playing dangerously. and as every single person that seen/heard that result would agree, it clearly didn't help the scoreline. certain players were getting beyond frustrated as they were being outclassed and chose to react with poor sportsmanship rather than increased effort, definitely not what the club wanted to see/nor will it tolerate again. slow process but the club will be better for it in the long term without the "YOBBO" attitude (thanks NB)!

4-Beresfield United and Beresfield FC are TWO COMPLETELY separate clubs that have no committee/player/financial affiliation.

did i miss anything???

Before you stir the pot and try and be a hero!!! I wasn't getting at being better to watch. The word was quality! And you are kidding yourself if this comp is even close that.

Fact.

Mmmmm beers

Trying to be a hero? no one before you mentioned "quality"... you are the hero in the thread for a comp 3 divisions below yours banging on about how much better you are!

Outsiders post simply stated that the game was better to watch (in his opinion) than some he had watched in the two top leagues.

I bet you are one of those euro snobs who thinks the a-league is shit because the players aren't are good as in EPL?

Correct-this particular game was one of the most enjoyable I have seen this season-and I see at least 6 every weekend.However it was the exception rather than the rule.There is some very ordinary stuff too.

Obviously haven't watched Wallsend play their sublime, slick, short passing game ;-)

I can guarantee that this kid is not a euro snob. this "hero" plays in this league and is one of the better players in the comp.

To defend him, you cannot compare zone league games to state league games. I think what is trying to be said is that the goals were of state league quality not the entire game itself. We have seen a few of these qulaity goals go flying in our own net, and as such, we have created more than a few ourselves.

An entire 90 minute game in this league cannot be compared to the quality of the state league.....FACT!

Please if you pay the whole squad the least they can do is be able to put short passes together

[amishpanda]

Wait a minute....I'm getting PAID??!!
Fark yeah!

Haha I know right. Money or no money, we play some good football.

[Eleganceisirrelevant]

What!!!?!?!? Are you/we?? Crazy!!!

Oooooooooooo when the REDS.

[leftrightout]

Ill say again, outsider or myself did not mention quality.We aren't stupid, obviously L1 is not at the same level as NBN. Just like it is a level below ZPL and NEWFM (well some teams are questionable haha).
Just because it is a level (or a few levels) below there are some great games to watch, and im sure you enjoy playing in them!
I would rather watch 6-4 with some quality goals and some dodgy goals than a dull 0-0 in NBN league just because it is a higher level.

All im saying is the level of play doesn't mean it is better for the spectator... FACT!

[SHARMENS]

Very modest Kyle ...

Someone should tell the jets that!

Reminds me of my fans expectations in one of my football manager games:
"We just want to see some quality football......and bicycle kicks."

I'm fairly sure the jets of old did not get paid an 'income.' Remuneration for playing was in the form of bar tabs (topor: cruisers only) at the Prince on Sunday nights.

[Eleganceisirrelevant]

Hahaha topor and zads bar tab!!

[amishpanda]

But in any case, back to ZL1. Some big games this weekend!

Berro V Terrace
Apparently Berro have found some form of late! They'll be looking for a strong close out for the season, just to stick it to everyone who has rubbished them on here lately. And good luck to them! Obviously Terrace need a result to keep their spot on the ladder. Another loss could see them down in 4th spot after all catch ups - something no-one had predicted. Berro at Berro is ALWAYS tough. It will wreak havoc with the Terrace long-ball-and-run, and will require them to play. But after all is said, I couldnt bet against them.

Bay V Kotara
This will just be a tough, physical grind right to the end. Nothing separates these teams IMO (not even the long throws). Both decent in the middle, both tough to crack in D. I will go with Bay due to nothing more than the fact they are at home. Draw would not surprise me, but I dont think the Kot front men will crack them.

Belmont V Burbs
Burbs. One does not merely put 6 past terrace and fail to score against Belmont. Scoreline WILL be tight. Belmont will threaten in patches.

Kahibah v Morri
Again, maybe a draw? I will put my faith in the flanking/frontmen for Kahibah.

Wallsend v Suns
Suns have everything to play for. Top 4 spots will be tight. New signings since last match up will pump Newy. I can't imagine what went wrong the other week, though. We, however, are playing good football and having a heap of fun whilst doing it. We're at home and have a premiership to play for. Also, honestly, who bets against themselves? Wallsend to edge it.

[gny]

What's this terrace long ball rubbish? We don't play long ball,

[amishpanda]

Ah, apologies. Didnt mean to say thats all you have. You have quick blokes up front - quick players can often create chances from a nothing long ball on a big pitch. Nah, LJ does a pretty good job of getting ball to feet - just trying to highlight that is how you will HAVE to play.

That, and just crack bombs from halfway (so very possible on Pasa).

[King Kenny]

Someone should tell the jets that!

Totally agree !!!!!!!

[gny]

The way gardo played on Saturday if they do the same against Belmont it could be 10+
