How's everyone looking this year?
I'm from Tenambit recently dropped from league 1 just trying to get a feel for the comp. Played a few of the clubs when we last played in 2's but the comp looks very different since then.

Jesmond Rams FC will commence training Tue Feb 5, 6pm. First 2 weeks will be Tue only before moving to Tue/Thu for remainder of pre season and the season itself. Training will remain @ Heaton Park. We've made application to move to Jesmond Park for matches. All existing players welcome, as is any player looking for a new club. Really good bunch of blokes who get along fantastically. We have all age teams as a possibility for anyone who doesn't make the squad. Coach Mick Coates on 0412 449 333 for any questions.

Very keen for Mussy vs. Bellbird generally a match that has a bit of fire in it and can be hard to predict a winner. Apart from Bellbird getting a bit of a flogging at Muswellbrook last season, matces are generally pretty even.

That will be an interesting fixture as they both in this league might have to get out to that game and do some scouting for up comin games lol. I remember Bellbird were a decent team when we last played them (going back 3 years now) but I'm yet to have the privlidge of a mussy road trip. so hopefully its not on the same day as my own team.

Definitely a shame if they fold, never good to see a club not get off the ground. I was speaking to a couple of their coaches in the off-season and they thought they might be struggling for numbers this year. Definite shame, but if they can't get the numbers it might be the best thing to fold. Playing for Muswellbrook last year, I wouldn't recommend any team going into the comp short on players, doesn't make for a fun season. I think there is a minumum squad size that has to be met as well, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just assuming that player numbers are the issue as well, haven't spoken to their guys since October, but that was the story then...

No your right, each division has a minimum number of players that need to be registered and their fees paid for by the club by a date set by the Assoc's BUT that is not until shortly before the season kicks off so at this stage of draws and planning the Assoc's have to work off clubs best assessments.

The other issue is registering is not the same as a fit body on the field all year, and some clubs have been known even recently in higher divisions to have to register guys with no intnention of playing just to give them their position in a comp while the find extra players.

WESTLAKES WILDCATS FC LOOKING FOR GOALKEEPERS

Westlakes Wildcats FC are chasing goalkeepers for the upcoming season. The ZL2 grand final winning side from last year has considerably strengthened on-field, yet has unfortunately lost both goalkeepers to out-of-district commitments. Anyone interested in playing with a great group of players, a fun atmosphere and with a view to looking at playing ZL1 next year as we are aiming to win the double this year, please get in contact with us. We are advertising for first and reserve grade goalkeepers, but would never say no to a good outfield player either. We have trial games starting next weekend through to the start of the season, so have plenty of opportunities to give you a shot.

If you are interested, get in contact with us in one of the following methods:
Send me a PM
Send an email to westlakes_wildcats@hotmail.com
Get in contact with Brendan on 0439437152
Come to training on a Tuesday or Thursday at Rathmines Oval, 6:30pm start.

Hi all,
Wallsend FC are looking for a team to play our ZL1 third grade team this weekend on Sunday the 17th at ‘The Gardens’ with kick off at 11:30.
Sorry for the late notice, we were set to play Medowie but after recent events they are unable to make the game so we are hoping to find a replacement team.
If you are interested please pm me so we can get it sorted.
Thanks

Muswellbrook played a trial vs. Singleton yesterday. We had a squad of about 18, they had about 30 (some of which I have been told only got introduced to everyone on the day) and we played 5 periods of 20 minutes, rotating the players. Final score was 4-2 Singletons way which was pretty disappointing for us seeing as we lead 2-0 for about an hour. Mixture of tired legs, some players taking the "it's only a trial mentality", coach tinkering with the midfield and a touch of awful refereeing (yep, I know it's pre-season but bad refereeing is bad refereeing) changing the game, but at the end of the day you concede 4 goals you probably don't deserve to win. Promising signs I suppose that we were the better team for an hour and we will be better off fitness-wise for the hit-out. Gave the gaffer a chance to look at some new players as well. Will have more players for two-grades against Westlakes this weekend so will get a better idea of how we are looking. Must also be said that if yesterday is anything to go by, Singleton are in for another VERY long year in NewFM, it has always baffled me how they have managed to stay in that competition. Any other trials played over the weekend?

Tenambit played State league U/19's charlestown city blues last night going down 2-1 ( shit they are quick and talented) With 21 boys rocking up for one game the sideline did resemble a nfl game. But for a first hit out together with plenty of new face's results were not high priority. controlling plenty of the game and trying to adjust to the rotation policy in place by the large number of players we were quite happy with our game and was looking forward to our game on Sunday against medowie but due to the rain it has been postponed.

Jesmond are playing out of Jesmond Park again this year (where we belong). Went to Heaton when the juniors and Seniors joined to reduce costs but after 3 years there the decision was made to move back 'home'.

The draw is currently being changed so that us and Merewether don't clash.

The wethers have been playing out of jes pk since around 2000. Have nothing to do with juniors at myamblah. Always played home games on a saturday. Have been in the same division as rams a few times over the years with no problems sharing ground.
The only issue will be the condition of the playing surface. The past 3 years the surface was still terible even though we only played every second week on it. Unfortunately the referees also train there 2 nights a week ( have done so for 10 years or more ) and dont care wether they run straight down the middle or in the 18 yard box as they dont play the game. They pay their money to council so do as they wish.
Are the rams planning on training at jes pk to? Perhaps we should start up a shield or something while we are in the same division. Call it the 'rose bowl ' as rocket racer has previously mentioned in the forums.

Jesmond can hardly lay claim to belonging at Jesmond Park. They seem to pick and choose where they want to play every few years. They have been back and forth between Jesmond Park and Heaton like a yo yo.

At least Merewether have been there now for a long time on continued basis.

Don't forget that it was Merewether that dipped into their own pockets to get the flood lights. Jesmond were not even playing ID's at the time.

Jesmond should be treated as minor tenants and Merewether they major tenants. Meaning Merewether gets first choice for training and match days.

No handbags here buddha. Im pretty sure reds forever is a former player or coach from years gone by and is not associated with us these days. A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since the early days when tensions were high. Out of the current crop of players theres only a few of us left from the years when the rams played at the rose bowl.We've probably gone through 60 or 70 different players in the past 5 years so the rams crew will barely know any of us.

We welcome the rams back to their traditional home, it is jesmond park after all. The council can hire it out to any club they wish, the past has seen a shortland 0ver 35 team play there as well new fm side ( at the time) charlestown city blues train there and dig the ground up something terrible - not to mention the referees who train 2 nights a week. We should get together and work out a way of protecting our beautiful park. Look forward to having a good relationship.

As a representative from Jesmond, we can confrim that we would like to work with Merewether rather than against. Much more productive for everyone. I'm aware of past years hostilities. Whilst a healthy rivalry is just that, healthy, anything more is just stupid and I think that most that carried that grudge have moved on from both clubs. We have been given the green light for the ground and applied only for match days and wil continue to train at Heaton Park as were aware that Merewether would be applying and the status with the referees.
Although this is a forum for everyones use, perhaps past players with not quite all the facts should move on gracefully....
Re: An annual game between the tenants of Jesmond Park, I think that is a great idea and would like to discuss the possibility further.

Well Tenambit took on Raymond Terrace tonight and both scores were a bit bigger then we would have liked. Res got a bit of a touch up but was there first run together so we will work on it.
And First well i think it ended up 6-1 but any one watching the game would see that as an unfair score line (all bar the last 10 we ran out of legs in our first proper hit) we missed a host of chances and whoever said they lost there quick guy up front well wrong lol. They are fast as u would know from last year. first two goals were counter attacks using there speed. And before i left the field in the second ( was in the sheds so didnt see the rest) we helped them with a few goals by getting in each others road ( i mean we literally took each other out). But the terrace are still a quality team and should do well in the league above. But all in all good hit out played good football and we hope to only get better.

Just a outside thought for Mereweather if there not attached to the jr's or the area why don't they change there name to Shortland advance or North Lambton or something along those lines.

Why did Merewether leave Darling st Oval again? Seems stupid to sell it to Olympic or was it councils decision?

Has been discussed, but a few issues, not least of which include the existence of the synthetic cricket pitch in the middle. If memory serves, having to leave a gap between the 2x footy fields the entire length of a cricket pitch would render it a physical impossibility.

The good ol Bypass Cup remains with Garden Suburbs after today's matches.
Res: GS 8-0 CCB
1st: GS 4-2 CCB

A tough day for reserves, they should've been at least a goal up, hitting the bar twice and having one cleared off the line after rounding the keeper, but trailed 1-0 at ht.
The second half was about fitness, and we had 1 sub, compared to their 7.
They're fresher legs walked over us in patches in the second half in sweltering conditions.
The scoreline was flattering, but a fair reflection of how much we faded in our first run of the season.

1st grade was a much tighter affair, with suburbs taking the lead courtesy of our keeper being as good as dead. He literally let a shot go past him, which hit the post, before the rebound was hammered home.
He was asked to start in goals after having a busy day in reserves, and also being kicked in the head.
He was subbed off after about 10 minutes, and we came back to lead 2-1 shortly before halftime, before a defensive howler gifted them an equaliser, 2-2 at ht.
Second half was even, but 2 quick suburbs goals courtesy of some more dreadful defending, including a stupid penalty, gave them a 4-2 lead, and both sides huffed and puffed without really testing either keeper.

A good hitout, played in the right spirit, and the boys more than held their own for large periods, however were punished for silly mistakes.

That's one way to look at it but the way I saw it 1st grade gardo slow out of the box and got a goal against the run of play with CCB controlling the 1st 15mins and equalizing threw a deserved penalty then taking the lead from a defensive mishap gardo settled later and controlled the game with CCB looking dangerous on the counter a few times but gardo being deserved winners and playing some good football in the second half.

As for reserve fairly contested 1st half with CCB having a good few chances but not finishing at times and gardo taking to lead threw a set piece although controlling most of the half 2nd half deferent story yes fresher legs played a part but CCB were no where near close to gardo with them playing some good passing football and could of scored more goals on another day.

With gardo having fresh players on the bench for 1st when they filter down the lower grades will be looking very well don't want get to confident but we look to be in for another good year at the nest

No ring in players, every player that played reserve grade and first grade are or will be registered for Toronto Awaba this year.

Absolute awesome day played in good spirits with a touch of niggle, which is what happens in local derbys especially when half the sides know each other pretty well, was really mate against mate in some instances, which was great.

Westlakes opened the scoring from a header that nath had no chance of getting, quality finish, Toronto struck back quickly through Hayden, for westlakes to score again to take a 2-1 lead, with Toronto Aawba scoring again just before half time took both teams in to the sheds locked up at 2-2.

Second half started like the first with Westlakes again taking the lead with their striker scoring his hat trick.... but yet again Toronto Awaba came back with a nice free kick curled in from 25 out.

Toronto Awaba then led for the first time when they were given a penalty when JP ( son of Johnny Beguin ) stepped up and slotted giving awaba a 4-3 lead and it seemed like the script was written perfectly for Johnny Beguin Day.

But again westlakes bounced back with that man again scoring his fourth goal and taking it to ten minutes each way extra time, im sure the boys didnt need in the oppressive heat.

Both sides with chances in extra time, but the inaugural JB Shield going to penalties with westlakes coming out winners.

Great day all round was had by all, and look forward to heading to rathmines next year to grab that shield......

Yesterday Muswellbrook played Morisset at Muswellbrook in the annual Jason Beveridge Memorial Shield. Results were:

Reserves-
Muswellbrook 5
Morisset 0

Have been told that Morisset fielded mostly their Third Grade team in this fixture, but still wouldn't have predicted this result with the large turnover of players Mussy have had. Our boys played some really good passing football and the several young lads that have been moved up from last years U/17's looked really comfortable in their first senior game of Football. The scores were level for the first 15 or so minutes despite Mussy dominating possession, but once they score the flood gates opened so to speak with the half-time score at 3-0. I didn't see much of the second half, but am told it was more of the same from both teams with Muswellbrook putting in 2 more to round out a nice win for their first match of the pre-season, and playing some really decent football to boot.

Firsts
Muswellbrook 8
Morisset 0

This was a great result for the lads and will give us some confidence heading into next weeks Solo Cup match against Bellbird. 3 new arrivals to the club and 1 lad from the previous seasons U/17's featured in the starting lineup. This match pretty well went along the same line as the ressies fixture, 0-0 for the first 15 and 3-0 at half-time. The challenge was laid to the boys to step it up another notch in the second half, as in previous seasons we have tended to switch off when taking a healthy lead into the break, and the boys really stepped up to the task. The second half was played almost entirely in Morisset's half with them barely creating a chance. We played some really impressive football, but that being said, still have some issues to work on. We had at least 5 or 6 one on ones with the keeper that we squandered, and the same amount if not more offsides. All in all but, a great starting point and good to get some confidence ahead of the cup. Hard to gauge where this leaves us for the season, but at the moment it looks promising. We only have one first grade on shift-work and have picked up a lot of new players. The coaching staff has also implemented a really good brand of football, reminiscent of a couple of seasons ago, if not better.

Morisset tell me that they had 6 of their first grade starting in the match, so they could very well be in for a long season, unless the 5 players they were missing are absolute guns.

If its come off the post without the keeper touching it and the penalty taker has scored from the rebound it should be disallowed as the penalty taker has to wait for another player to touch the ball before they can play for it.

Thats how westlakes scored their second or third, but doesnt matter was a great day.

But good point i didnt know that rule, no wonder the toronto faithful and keeper were blowing up.

12-03-2013, 01:29 PM
the toronto penalty was saved by the keeper & the rebound went straight to the penalty taker, who scored the rebound.

the westlakes pen was saved by the keeper, the rebound went to a non-pen-taker westlakes player, who passed it (well, mis-shot) across to the pen taker who scored. toronto were blowing up about potential offside, as it was a pass across.

neither hit the post, nor needed to worry about the rule.

those two pen misses, coupled with the low penalty shootout scoreline, saw some pretty awfully-taken penalties on the day. the westlakes keeper was the standout - getting a hand to, and saving, 4/6 of the pens he faced (out of the ones he didn't save, one went in & one is still in orbit with one of westlakes pens aswell).

Beresfield hosted CCB yesterday at the pint sized Pasadena Oval.
Res: Beresfield 4-6 CCB
1sts: Beresfield 4-3 CCB

Reserves jumped out of the blocks in this one, leading 4-1 at half time.
Again, only having one reserve affected them in the 2nd half, and they got a bit sloppy at the back. 6-4 was an odd scoreline, it could've really been 10-5.
1st grade were slow out of the blocks, and found themselves 2-0 down.
Got ourselves back in the match through a penalty, before going down 3-1.
Once again, we clawed ourselves back to 3-2, but whenever you concede 4 goals you'll struggle.
A late 3rd made the scoreline a fair reflection, but overall Beresfield wanted it more and probably deserved it.
We are still a work in progress, with new players and new combinations, but we are taking away plenty of positives from each game, and if all the pieces fall into place against New Lambton next Sunday, an upset could very well be on the cards.
Thanks to Bero for hosting us.

went down and watched these fixtures.
thought reserves wasnt a bad game, very scrappy but it was a trial and there was some moments that showed real promise for both sides.
Charlestown played alot better though and deserved the win.
1sts was a good game with good ball movement from both sides and a brilliant individual goal from michael drysdale.
there is alot of work to be done from both teams.
but all in all was a game played in good spirits with a little bit of niggle from both teams.

As a player if that was barnsley res grade we played the other night then they will flog every side they come up against. We played Barsnley in the Solo Cup last year and they whipped us 3-0 and they didnt play as good as the other night so they must of improved massively in the last year.

as a player from barnsley who played against olympic the other night, we had a mix in that grade. i think there were 2 first graders, a couple of 3rd graders and mostly reserve grade.
was good hit out for a few of our boys pushing to move from 3rd to resies

our first grade was rested for the solo cup this weekend.

I heard after their Mussy state cup game that they were struggling but haven't heard much else. I'd be pretty upset if they couldn't get two grades - they should be getting all the bellbird & cessnock juniors who don't make cessnock seniors

This rumour is fact.

Bellbird will not be fielding a team in ID's this year. Shattered to say the least. Decision was made last night at training after a good month of hard work to avoid it.

Started the season pretty strong with 28 odd players showing interest at training. They fell away due to various reasons - travel, work, laziness, players returned to juniors to play U/18's. Currently sitting at 17 which includes 4 shiftworkers. Just wont cut it and it is not fair on the 17 guys who have stuck by the club to put them through two games every week.

You are spot on we should have all of those players. But there are also a number of things which are working against us:
1. The under 25's competition (which has a whole five teams nominated) which our juniors have a side in despite our protests and attempts to have them play with us.
2. We had an all age team last year who promised to step up when needed. They refused this year so have been refused registration at our club.
3. 1 team clubs... There are a number of teams in the Cessnock area who setup a 'club' with one all age team.

And unfortunately, this leaves us in the position we are in now.

We will be back though.

I'd say that's what they'll do. It will sort out the scheduling in 3's as it will mean each team plays the others 3 times. At the moment they play some teams twice and others 3 times to get it 18 rounds.

yes it would, but it has happened before, the old ID3 was a 7 team comp for at least a few years going back into what i remember from many a year ago (but not that long ago, I'am only 27 after all).

Tonight Tenambit played Cardiff from ZPL
Res Tenambit 0 Cardiff 2
Was a good showing from the boys considering it was their second run together unfourtunatly for tenambit we just dont have that killer instinct in front of goals just yet and let a few chance pass us by. But our genral play was better then our last effort and we will only improve with more games together.

Now onto First grade
Tenambit 4 Cardiff 0
absolutly stoked with the performance we put in tonight knocked the ball around, controlled the game from the outset. 2-0 up by half time but could have been much more. our goal wasnt really threatened but there were a few half chances for them and as always a few things for us to work on. but taking nothing away from the lads was great game.

from a Westlakes perspective..
Westlakes proved near impossible for Barnsley to break down. both goals were from ridiculous self inflicted cockups and weren't with the run of the play.
Barnsley have picked up a few decent players since their zl2 days. good pickup with the striker but he needs more support, and realistically he's not even a striker & is better suited to midfield.
yesterday was ridiculous in terms of on field challenges. on a proper season game where cards were actually handed out, Barnsley would have defender completely differently as more than half their team would have gotten their first yellows before half time. Westlakes were overpowered physically when going forward but I stand by the fact that in a real game the Barnsley defense would have had to calm themselves down or their 2nd, 3rd & 4th yellows would have come.
the game ended on a sour note - Westlakes were getting sick of the persistent bad fouls not getting called by the ref, plus the ref swearing AT Westlakes players, so started to give the rash challenges back. one rash challenge that was no worse than a couple of Barnsley challenges, after which the Westlakes player immediately put his hands up and tried to say sorry, saw two Barnsley players take to him looking for a fight & the ref just called the game off with 10 to play.
but after all that said - Westlakes were happy with the hitout, thought they held their own, and are still wondering how Olympic firsts got beaten by Barnsley reserves (:gent:)
Westlakes were without 4 starting first graders (plus our keeper was our third string who is actually our all age striker, and after his efforts I'm sure he'll be happy to play striker again!), I'm not sure the numbers Barnsley were playing with.

good last trial game though, keen for the season to start

Interesting version of events. Obviously a west lakes fan or player. From a neutral point of view, I thought both teams were as bad as each other.
Barnsley did commit more fouls but thats the way they play, they are a tough team. That last challenge by the west lakes player to end the game was pretty disgraceful though, to say he said sorry straight away wouldn't have helped the bloke who's leg he tried to break. He was over 1m away from the ball.
Also Barnsley had some notable absences from that team. Neither of their strikers were playing, Well i assume they are playing with the club again?
West lakes will go very well in league 2. I can't see many teams taking points if them, unless it was a case of playing to the level of the opposition? Lets hope not!

bad challenge yes but didnt deserve the response it did. it was a late standing up challenge with venom in it that would be a obvious yellow in any game.

I wasnt too upset with either teams play or challenges (including the last tackle) as it was just a heated contest and the ref told each player to calm down with a stint on the bench when he saw fit.

the only disgrace was when the westlakes player was told after the tackle to sit on the bench the barnsley captain chased after him and got him by the neck with both hands in a choke and started the push n shove that ended the game.

thats all im going to say, its not worth going into it considering it was only a trial game

I disagree about the last challenge, from the view i had, it looked like a send off, could have just been my view though, but agree the push and shove after was not needed, obviously!
In the end it was a heated game, a good run for both sides, both seemingly quality sides. No injuries came from any hard challenges so it is all good. It should stay on the pitch!

There was certainly not enough in the game to cause any trouble on this forum as some people from other clubs have in the past.

Tenambit played local rivals Beresfield SSC (ZL1) in what is always a fiery love,hate affair.
Res Tenambit 1 Bero 3
The score today was a fair reflection of the game Bero was sharper and knocked the ball around well and as i said deserved their 3-1 win but the way the last two goals came for them u could at best call it comical keeping. They were howlers one bouncing over the keepers hands after a full stretch dive after looking to have it covered and the next the keeper coming to claim a ball and only proceeding to fumble it to the feet of the opposing striker. Needless to say he was hoping for the ground to open up and swollow him. But unfortunatly for me ( yes i was the comedic keeper) it didnt happen. Our res are alwas on the improvement and will be ready for week 1.

First was a 4-3 win to Bero (officially 5-3 but their first goal was at least 3m offside but as the refs ordered for the day didnt show il never bagged out a club ref helping out and getting us a game, i just wont count the goal lol)

Great hit out today for us to came back from two down to take the lead 3-2 but a few lapses and another goalkeeping howler (that made every one forget i even made two of my own) brought them back to 3-3 and then a thunder bolt into the top corner made it 4-3, we left the game satisfied but knowing what we have to work on to really be at our best. Was a tough physical game but both teams gave as good as they got and i dont really think it ever got out of hand maybe an official ref may have seen it differently but as a player i couldnt complain. We created plent of chances but where not taken (story of our pre-season).
But with our style of play and combinations we are putting together we are looking forward to round 1 and the year ahead.

Jesmond 3-1 in 1sts and 5-1 in reggies.

Big day for our club returning to where we belong. Yes we left on our own accord for many reasons but are more than excited to be back at Jesmond Park.

Reserves won comfortably in a grand final re-match. Although they had a few chances, I think all would agree that best team won.

1st grade was a good match, pretty even until a well taken Mussy goal hit first time on the volley. Jesmond then equalised with a quality team goal and although were under pump for last 5-10 mins went in 1-1 at break. We then got somewhat fortunate with a tap-in from a scramble following a corner and then a pinpoint cross headed home. There will be differences of opinion as our club linesman flagged to disallow the goal for offside, only for the (official) referee to over-rule as the goalscorer came from way onside. Correct decision in my opinion and well done referee.

On that note, thanks to the referee who hadn't been appointed and also to the 1st graders and officials from both clubs who helped out on lines throughout the day. Games played in good spirit. Mussy seem to have had player turnover but remain a good bunch, always happy to shake hands and have a chat afterwards. Best of luck for rest of season, we always look fwd to the return trip.

Would like to pass on my appreciation to the Res grade Uni boys who made our club refs job so much easier by the spirit in which they played the game and not getting frustrated by any calls that may have gone against them . Cheers boys

Big Thanks to him for being fair and making the calls that needed to be made, it was a good game to watch..... and he did a much better job than the walk in ref that did 1st Grade, some very strange calls to say the least. And while the penalty was a crap way to get a goal, it was very much deserved on the run on of the game. Credit to the Tenambit keeper it could of being 3 or 4 nil in the first 5 minutes if it was not for some of those saves and the post.

Yeah the ref was a tad ordinary to put it VERY nicely. That free kick came from no where I thought way to far out to have a strike but that he did and what a strike.

I wonder if u mean the Res grade keeper. Because come to think of it I didn't really make any saves there was that one of my own player and that cracking free kick off the post. but until the two or three in the second half I was having a quite. Day unless my memory is that terrible.

Jesmond 3-1 in 1sts and 5-1 in reggies.

Big day for our club returning to where we belong. Yes we left on our own accord for many reasons but are more than excited to be back at Jesmond Park.

Reserves won comfortably in a grand final re-match. Although they had a few chances, I think all would agree that best team won.

1st grade was a good match, pretty even until a well taken Mussy goal hit first time on the volley. Jesmond then equalised with a quality team goal and although were under pump for last 5-10 mins went in 1-1 at break.

Watched the games as a neutral. Firsts looked like being a great game until it was ruined by the offside call. You must have been the only spectator at the ground (including the jesmond club linesman) who thought the striker was onside. Linesman & Ref gives it offside then ref changes his mind after the jesmond striker gets in his ear. Anyway, that's what you get when bobby refs, we all know it.

Muswellbrook res is pretty much a completely different team this year, they'll be lucky to make the semis.

Rams, why is the club so keen to play at jesmond park? Looks like a pretty rubbish ground with the cricket pitch in the middle and its terrible for the spectators considering ground isn't flat and you're too far away from the action. Granted it is a million times better than that thing you blokes played on last year!

("Granted it is a million times better than that thing you blokes played on last year") is half the reason why we are keen to play there, i will not bore you with the history and we shouldnt of left blah blah blah......
i enjoy playing muswellbrook, dont normally get involved in the chit chat during the game but was easy to with these guys. game was played in good spirit. they did have us under the pump a few times, as for the goal on/offside you can call me bias but it was our mid who scored, made the run past the ref. ref awarded it until he seen the flag up. it was onside and the ref stuck with his decission. had it been an official who knows but he was on.
looking forward to the year though. looks like it will be a tight comp.

"Rams, why is the club so keen to play at jesmond park? Looks like a pretty rubbish ground with the cricket pitch in the middle and its terrible for the spectators considering ground isn't flat and you're too far away from the action.

As for the goal in question - I do state that there will be differences of opinion which will always be the case in such circumstances. Fans / commentators can't always agree on offside goals when there is an endless supply of replays on offer, so Saturday park football where people see it once is always tough.

One thing I can clear up is the fact that I am not the only person at the park to have thought he was onside. Spoke to other "neutral" people who agreed with me. And he is not our striker as you've said, he is our deep laying midfielder who in my opinion, made a late run in behind a defence advancing from their partially cleared corner.

I guess differences of opinion make these forums what they are. All the best.

without having the opportunity to see the offside it sounds strange that a club official who ruled against his own team, is overturned by an official ref. I could understand if he overturned a decision if a club linesman ruled in favour of his team but definitely odd that he overturned a decision when it was against his team.
its good that you guys got an official ref tho, hopefully there is enough to go around this weekend

The decision to overturn an offside call made by the home team's club linesman, by a static referee who was nowhere near the defensive line changed the game. That can't be argued and you are wasting your time if you try. However, Muswellbrook weren't good enough on the day to deserve the three points, but one point might have been salvageable had it not been for that woeful, disgraceful decision.

westlakes were the better team in the first half going to the break 1 up
start of the second was very even.
first mussy goal was approx 2 metres off side (i was in line with defence) but wasnt called by the linesman. I dont agree with giving a kid that looked 12 or younger the flag in first grade with people drinking and yelling out from the hill.
to be fair he wasnt too bad, but a few of his calls you could tell were influenced by the crowd (imo).
westlakes self exploded after that and mussy second goal was a neat finish.

as for the refing i was having a laugh with the mussy guys in both grades about how consistantly bad it was for both teams. only positive was that it went both ways.

should be a good game this week ;)

Westlakes really only had two clear chances. One was a well taken one on one and the other the striker blew with a heavy touch. Keeper slid, took ball and player. Muswellbrook missed a spot shot and a couple of one on ones.

The ref was shocking both ways. Westlakes will be better when the tall bloke is back. A bit lost without him and lacked creativity. Just my opinion!!!

ffs ladies, too much shoulda. Though I will watch the vid if any cnt had of been bothered to do it.

Since when does a ref take notice of a 12 yr old fill-in liner. Surely only in out. The ref will make all offside decisions from the centre circle, meaning, expect a dodgy decision.
iirc mussy sheds are some of the best :)

pv4
22-04-2013, 06:29 AM
iirc mussy sheds are some of the best :)

bit of a hike to get to though innit :rof:

the ref had an official ref on one line, which he literally ignored for every decision, and used the young lad on the other side for all his decisions (or non-decisions).

i dunno about y'all, but when a players get a yellow card in a game they defend completely differently. they stand off a bit more, they give a little more room & in general they hit people less. that's what yellows for bad tackles or persistant fouling is for - to calm the player down. games open up after a couple of yellows are given. the ref on the weekend didn't give one card, and i daresay blew the whistle for a max of 5 fouls for mussy. westlakes play a game where their high players come back to receive the ball, and play off that man. literally dozens of times on the weekend, everytime our top men received the ball they were fouled from behind. countless slides from behind, many foul-worthy pushes off the ball, etc - and nothing was called. the reason 3/4 of our play was broken down was because of legitimate fouls. mussy kept doing them, as they were obviously getting away with them. our striker spent more time on the receiving end of a hit from behind than in the goalmouth. it's hard to play football when a ref allows the other team to get away with what he did. if the ref actually pulled mussy up for their persistent fouling, plus gave the odd card here or there, the game would have been completely different & we would have overrun mussy.

for an example of how bad the reffing was to westlakes, and how much mussy noticed this was the case - westlakes hit the ball out for a corner. the ref signalled a goalkick. westlakes players said they were going to kick the ball out for a corner because it was unfair. the mussy player said "you guys have seriously been dealt the severe end of a horrible stick today, just have the goalkick".

if someone was fairly reffing both sides, imo westlakes would have been happy with a win whilst mussy would have been happy with a draw.

The Dreaded Keeper
22-04-2013, 08:39 AM
I definitely agree that the ref was shocking. Last week that same ref made an offside call, which was supported by the Jesmond club-linesman. The striker yells "Mate I ran past 2 players to get there". Ref goes, "Oh, ok", and blows the whistle for a goal. From that point Muswellbrook were dead in the water and got nothing from the game.

My point is, that with these refs, or club refs, these things happen. As someone said above, it comes down to who exploits it better. Mussy fly into challenges every week. It's how we play. This week we got away with a few. Next week we may not.

22-04-2013, 08:40 PM
I'm going to go out on a limb here and go for a bit of a different take on things in the Mussy vs. Westlakes game/refereeing.

Firstly the linesman is 15, yes he is little and looks 12 but he is actually 15. It is a bit ridiculous to place the loss on the performance of the referee. I'm not sitting here saying the referee had a good game, but I don't think the result can be placed on him. I think Westlakes played a decent game and knock the ball around well, but wouldn't by any stretch of imagination say definitely deserved to win the game.

If I look at our game against Jesmond, yes there was in my opinion an awful decision involving one of the goals and we barely won a 50-50 call all game. But that isn't why we lost, at the end of the day we were toothless in attack, not hungry enough and didn't deserve to win. We can talk all we want about the ref but Jesmond were the hungrier of the two teams and were good enough for the win, we weren't.

Throughout the week the gaffer spoke to our boys about the game and the lack of desire and players not willing to stand up and take control of a match and turn it on it's head, and we were much improved on Saturday. People can say that this foul or that foul should have been given, but at the end of the day I don't think Westlakes did quite enough to win. Most of the talk has been of Westlakes dominating the game and being hard done by, but in truth they were ineffective in the final third and majority of the would be fouls were in the middle of the park, not anywhere near threatening the Mussy goal.

If our first goal was offside, and from where I was at CB it did look to be, you could say that a draw may have been fair. But to say Westlakes deserves a win is a bit of a stretch. Muswellbrook were awarded a penalty at 0-0 which should have been put away, and it was a foul, not a bad foul, but a foul nonetheless. Also there were a couple of one-on-ones (one of which was at 0-0) which our striker should have slotted but was wasteful. We also had some really good patches of possession which haven't yet been mentioned.

Westlakes scored with their only clear cut chance and other than that, failed to trouble out defence too much. There is talk of Muswellbrook players going through the back, but I can't agree with that. We played a physical committed game but I thought Westlakes at times threw themselves about as well, and I'm not saying in a bad way. I thought it made for a really good competitive match.

It also hasn't been mentioned that Mussy lost their CB very early on to injury and needed to make two more changes due to injury as well, which can be difficult but we coped with it well.

At the end of the day, regardless of the ref, I just don't think Westlakes did quite enough for the win, in the same way we didn't do enough against Jesmond. I think that they were just missing a match winning touch in the final third, and in big Dunc (everyone knows who I'm talking about) they definitely have that. With him added to that team they will be a real force, but I think Mussy were good for their win on Saturday. Just a bit hungrier and dig in a little deeper.

Am aware there will probably be some vitriol sent my way, but this is my opinion and that's what these forums are for right?
