Not many big matches for state league clubs, all pretty straight forward winners however football is a magical thing!

I still think it's a silly way to do a draw. Look at Liverpool through the week getting rolled by a 3rd tier side. Isn't that what makes the cup so special?

Couldn't agree more! Wouldn't a Barnsley, Cooks Hill, Kotara South etc prefer to play a Broadmeadow Magic and test themselves than play another team from their own league? Maybe to make it more lucrastive they could run the gate at the NBN or NEW FM teams ground and keep the takings. That way they get some incentive to bring a crowd in and the host club doesn't loce out as they can keep the canteen money.

Sorry mate. Wasn't attacking ya. I just remember goin up to a NEWFM sides ground and got charged $5 to watch their ressies play a ZL1 side, and a ZPL ressies vs NBN 19's. I couldn't believe it when they asked for money.

when are they going back to a proper draw (any team vs any team)?

this current draw is ridiculous. another trial game against a team in my same comp, or pretty close to it? where do I pay?!?!?!

03-02-2013, 10:27 AM
since they consulted with the clubs and came up with this system - they have to have separate draws for the northern regions and so the NBN/New FM can use it as a pre-season warm up

don't like it, then talk to your club about it - don't just whinge on here

Imyourhero
03-02-2013, 10:39 AM
Playing a team 4 divisions down would be much more of a "trial" match warm up. Games have much more competition the way it is.
The two sub pools eventually meet at one point in time anyways dont they??

Good choice, you realise you've got no argument against mine so your start to just point out punctuation instead of actually saying something valid. You know I'm right that a grand final is seen as minor in every country except America.

Bulldogs 1962
04-02-2013, 03:35 PM
And if a grand final makes you the champions why don't we promote that team. And why do the association give out trophies at the end of the season one says grand final winner and the other says premiers.

I remember Wallsend hosting in 2011 and playing Magic and charged people to watch then when it was changed to them hosting only Assoc sides they did not charge which I thought was fair enough.

Assoc games no one should be paying no matter what the venue.

Funny how you didn't see the teams come out of the bucket!! You would have thought that there may be a few more NBN match-ups. I think it should be an open draw for all those involved and actually allow teams to have a home advantage. What is the reason behind having a number of games at the same venue..?

Probably want to get an even draw and eliminate bye's and lucky losers etc.

Disappointed the jets youth didn't nominate for this, would have been good for their development as a team & for them to play in a pressure knock-out situation.

So explain why they run several games at one venue throughout the whole comp. I was told its easier to get 3 refs to 3 games at the one venue rather than send 3 refs to one venue for one game.

I dont think you would have a problem with refs when you can organise and use Junior Refs as well on these dates.

It was offered this way to clubs to nominate to host and give a host club oppurtunity to make it a profitable day.

It is as with most things a combination of factors.

Clubs willing to host games is a major factor, not a lot of clubs are willing to set up, take down, host full canteens etc for a single home game. Having been involved in a club hosting a first round last year it is a very profitable day if a club is willing (weather providing).

Referees, they want it to be an opening for them as well as teams for the coming season so they like to have a high a level of refs available at each ground possible. Less grounds means less refs needed meaning higher standards can be met all the way down the grades. And it gives Inspectors a chance to see multiple referees easily at one venue on a day.

Grounds - clubs aside there are still only so many grounds actually prepared and available for competition games for round one.
Remembering many lower div sides still rely on only Council prepared fields and don't have the volunteers or finances to pay for additional ground marking etc for a one off knockout game.

Paying Spectators - for those who do decide to charge people get the chance to arrive a bit early or stay after their own clubs game and see more football. Coaches and players from the higher divisions can be seen there watching any games of opponents as it is a rare chance to see opposition teams.

Northern - it is just easier for them to deal with a smaller number of host clubs when dealing with team sheets, instructions etc

have you not been to South America? i went to easily a dozen Copa Libertadores games that kicked off at 11pm and then of course finished close to 1am.........its how a good cup competition should be run. Was not always the best for fans as a lot of the stadiums are in the bad districts of a city, and walking around the barrios at 1am does not always work out so well for those with no local knowlage.

Agree with most of Lingera's predictions except a few:

Valentine v west Wallsend - I think this one will be a close one between two young squads on the day with maybe extra time needed.
Lake Macquarie v Bye - based on last season and the two pre season sessions I have see this year I think the Bye could get an upset here.


Interdistrict
Bellbird Bombers v Muswellbrook - Muswellbrook
Wallsend FC v Dungog - this one could go either way I think. If what the club members are claiming Wallsend have more than half of a new 1st grade squad so might not yet be used to playing together.

Barnsley v Newcastle Suns - Suns will get this one I think.
Mayfield United v Medowie - this one could get out of hand if all the ex jaffas do indeed stay at Mayfield.

Well first of all the Suns have had a quality squad for the past 5 seasons or so and that there was one win a piece last season with the suns convincingly winning 3-0 in their last outing, I wouldn't see it as an upset? Otherwise, I guess it's the underdogs against the bulldogs hey

demon
14-02-2013, 01:08 PM
These were just my thoughts guys, wasn't trying to offend any clubs.

Wallsend are trying to bed in some new players and for them I think that will take priority over the actual result because they have high goals for the comp this year. If Dungog get a goal (and one of Wallsend's short comings has been a lack of a solid reliable keeper) they may just be able to hold out any comeback.

Barnsley I don't think have lost a great number and the Suns may have gained or lost I'm not sure. I just think based on last season the Suns have it in them to beat them, being early in the season also Suns shouldn't have too many injuries, and everyone will be keen. This is just a game that could easily go Suns way on the day.

Lakes... lol, no not involved with them. They have had some player changes but I have seen a few training runs. What I find most surprising is for this late in the pre season (for a NBN League side) just how far away they seem to be from settling on players. If it is mid Feb and a coach can't tell a player if he is in his top 15/16 and a chance at first grade.... I can see a repeat of 2012 on the cards.

Westy and Valo... both relatively young sides, which I love seeing early in a season. I believe Westy have a few guys from around the central coast but couldn't tell you names or clubs sorry. What I will enjoy, from both clubs I think this season, is to see a few U19's (or guys young enough to be in U19's) getting a go at 1st grade I think. Bit like Suns and Barnsley, I think I lot of this one will depend on the first goal and Westy do seem to have a couple of guys that have range and distance in that area so they might be the ones to take an unexpected lead.

Mayfield V Medowie.... god no, bad choice of words on my part. I wouldn't expect it to be rough in any way, question is can the ex jaffas and remaining Mayfield guys get it together in time. If they do meld and hit their straps early I think it could become one of the higher scoring matches of Round 1. Thats if Mayfield's coach ever remembers football is played with a ball and therefore you are supposed to train with one not just do runs.


Of course the question no one ever knows until game day is ........ how seriously does each coach want to take it. For some it really is just another trial, others a chance to tinker etc, for others it is a real competitive situation and they pick their top 11 and have a thought out match plan.

In Solo Cup Magic were openly criticised for a round 1 game where the team was a majority U19's, a few years back Magic V Wallsend they started with Haynes, Bennis and Bailey all on the bench from memory and when they were not up 3-0 at half time they got a rocket of Messr Smith. Second half Haynes and Bennis go on, players are being serious and they win 7-0.... upsets have happened, and even now its seperate draws they will still happen. Good to see some debate about the results going on thou.

There was talk of them folding after some goings on at the club (I have no idea what about tho) but apparently they are going to be trying to put a team together. My club has a trial against them on the 3rd of next month. So can only hope they have made a final decision well before then.

Federation allows charging so clubs are just obliging. If its within the rules why shouldn't clubs charge entry. Some clubs don't have a multimillionaire on the committee or a hundred sponsors. So basically a club has 9-11 guaranteed functions (home games) to make enough money to support the club that season. If they can get an extra function in through the hosting of a State Cup round well good luck to them. Its just the luck of the draw.

There will always be the people who refuse to pay the $2 to park inside the ground but drive to the front gate feigning ignorance, the people who bring there own food and drink to games. Support your club/suburb and get to the game regardless, pay the charge and buy something from the canteen and stop complaining.

I don't have a problem. Clubs incur the costs to put the day on, they ask their volunteers to turn out and help and they are left to clean up afterwards so why shouldn't they get the CHOICE. And remember thats what it is, each club can chose to charge or not.

Some clubs now pay for ground marking so thats about $150 no one helps pay for alone.

Clubs need every cent they can raise, they arranged the venue for the entertainment and each club nominates 20 people to enter for free so if you were entertained its is hardly an expensive afternoon out.

agreed about the time and effort, however the same effort goes into each and every weekend fixture throughout the season yet you don't charge admission outside of the top two divisions in the federation. the state cup format was introduced to generate interest in the local game and a chance for clubs from different divisions to challenge themselves against more/less competitive opposition, not necessarily to raise revenue. i can assure you that the $5 admission fee wouldn't have remained in the pockets of many spectators enjoying a day out at the football.

If the Fed paid for the ref's and expenses the hosting club rack up, then fine open the gates but why should the hosting club have to work all day to make a loss? On another note, I find this comp as a being a joke at best. It's format is ridiculous and very few clubs in the top 2 leagues are interested in progressing due to injury risks and cost involved. Most clubs treat this as a trial game and hope to be out before the comp starts.

what expenses are the hosting clubs paying to make it a loss?
each team shares the cost of the refs so the only ref fees a club pays is half that of the game your club is playing.
the host club then gets the revenue from 3-4 games (all from different clubs ie more supporters) with canteen and alcohol etc, so infact they should make a much larger profit than a regular season fixture

3 to 4 games? I've only seen 2 played at each of the grounds I've been to for the State Cup.
It's the expenses of preparing the grounds, equipment, ammenities and if a night game the power for the lights. How much margine do you think is on food and drinks in the canteens? the crowd that attend the 2 matches wouldn't cover the costs through canteen alone.

in interdisctrict comp 5 grounds have 3 games while 2 grounds have 2 fixtures
cannot see how a club is running it at a loss when they dont have to pay referees. grounds would be prepared for trials and upcoming comp (may need a touch up) and would have the necessary equipment already?

the game which i attended last year we were first game and our supporters stuck round till half way through 3rd game and i can say for sure the host club made alot of money in canteen sales with a massive number of supporters drinking. they would have made a very nice profit for the day

It's not my club, I was only putting a point of view across as to why the clubs would charge. Comparing ID clubs to State League and New FM clubs are like comparing chalk and cheese when it comes to finances.
If the opportunity arises to make some coin that will help the club then they should pounce on it and take whatever advantage they can.

Good save from Bay keeper kept it level before half time. The heat was taking its toll on Both sides with a few missed opportunities but game was played in good spirit. Terrace took the lead again in second half but the Bay seemed to have the better of the second halve and soon levelled at 3-3. Bay took the game with a few minutes to go from we'll p laced shot.

Wallsend 6or7 - 1 Dungog ... Dungog was a bit unlucky in the first 5 mins with an unfortunate deflection at speed off a shot then connecting with a dungog hand (pk). Then a shot from the edge of the 18 deflected to a wallsend players feet with no pressure and he slotted. Wallsend had all the game except probably a period of 10-15 mins before HT when dungog scored to make it 3-1 and missed a simple 1v1 and actually was playing very well. Other then that i can say wallsend will be top 4 in ZL1 and they were a well structured team who scored some nice goals second half.
First trial for for us and we had two second graders in, with a second grader bench, few of our regular 1sts away. So the coach was definitely happy with our boys and with our decision not to have as many trials as most, i believe will pay off come round 1 with fresher legs but plenty of fitness under our belt by then.

Westlakes didn't look like they wanted the win. IMO some players were lucky not to be carded during the game
The wind at Stockton made it a really scrappy game. First 25 minutes Stockton weren't able to get the ball out of their own half but finished the half strongly. Second half was pretty even.
Telling tale was the fact that neither keeper had to make a save during the entire game.

well done true waterboy , got it just about right , both sides found it hard with the wind , both sides can be very happy with there defence as the score board showed , stockton also had one come of the crossbar mid way through the second 1/2.
other results on the day
mayfield zpl 7 - medowie 1
kotara 3 - mayfield juniors 2 , mayfield led 1-0 , the winner for kotara was an ogie from mayfield.


Stockton 1 westlakes 0
Westlakes didn't look like they wanted the win. IMO some players were lucky not to be carded during the game
The wind at Stockton made it a really scrappy game. First 25 minutes Stockton weren't able to get the ball out of their own half but finished the half strongly. Second half was pretty even.
Telling tale was the fact that neither keeper had to make a save during the entire game.

It wen't straight to pens, had mine saved, even though it was slotted perfectly....next time i smash it :D


Uni ZPL Beat kurri ZL3 10-0 From what I am lead to believe this was Kurris first game this year.
It was the first 'Official' game for both University teams as-well, been training lots but, the first games of the season.....

The ZPL team look well drilled and should do well in their comp. Kurri have only had four training sessions as the have only just appointed there new coach. So was always going to be a tall order to challenge in this game.

Having played ZPL Reserve Grade last year i can say it was pretty much Dudley's Reserve Grade that lined up against us on the weekend, maybe a couple of 1st Graders or new players but they were pretty famaliar to last season. It might be noted that we were missing 4 or 5 players who would normally start 1st Grade a couple changing from ZPL to ZL2 and also some quality imports, should be in the mix for top 4 atleast..........

That is interesting, since i posted that i have been told that Dudley also played a trial against Barnsley on sunday, fielding there reserve grade team. Barnsley won 5-1.

They might have had a bit of mix going in each match.

As i said before, regardless of dudleys team, its still a decent effort for ZL2 team!

full strength Kotara 1st grade will beat any ZL2/ZL3 team convincingly assuming they keep the core of their players as they have done for many years. Nesbit park is one of the hardest grounds to travel to in all competitions. please stop taking so much out of these preseason trials with up to or exceeding 5 first grade players.

From what i saw magic had 4-5 players out and charlestown had 1-2, i still think that prediction might be very close.
You have to remember they play 35 minute halves, plus it was a night game. on a better pitch and playing a 90 - 95 minute game, i think azzurri would have been touched up big time. especially if both teams were at full strength.

I reckon you could take that issue somewhere Sharkie...
Maybe try to email Otto C about it if you are concerned with the attitude.
Kotara AND Refs in orange? That's just nuts.

Kotara have a black and orange striped shirt. There is a fair bit of black on it. The ref wore a bright pink/red shirt, didnt look close to the kotara colour.

didnt look close? are you kidding. the ref had a bright red shirt a few shades away from orange. yes it was red but it was very close to the orange of kotara. nowhere near pink as football refs dont wear pink shirts like nrl refs.
and if it wasnt so close howcome all of the stocko team that was on the field thought he was kotara player and most of the kotara team, at a quick glance thought he was one of theirs. obviously you were on the sideline cause when youre on the field and you are making split second decisions and all youre looking for out of the corner of your eye is a colour or at least a shade close to it. an red shirt looks orange. which is what had most players on the field confused.
the attitude was bad from both referee and linesman when approached about this and quickly dismissed as 'we think its ok',
which is made even more outraegous when prior to kick off, our reserve goalkeeper warming up in an all yellow strip was told to change his shirt as it was 'too close' to the kotara orange strip. you tell me if that makes sense!?!?!

ffs kit clashes grind my gears so much.

back in the day i was walking past a local league afl game on the way to watching the mrs play netball, and i managed to see the end of one game and the start of the next. in the first game it was a blue team vs a yellow team, the refs wore orange shirts, grey (with orange trim) shorts & orange socks. the next game came out and one team was blue, the other team was orange. the refs went into their little change room and came out wearing all grey.

for starters - why aren't our referees this organised?

secondly - why don't refs have fully grey outfits? barely any teams actually wear grey - they're near guarenteed to never clash. pretty sure champs league refs do, or used to, wear all grey. the only people i recall wearing grey in newcastle are keepers - i reckon if refs basically always wore grey it would be such less of a hassle.

also in regards to the stockton/kotara game - pretty sure you're allowed to refuse to play if the ref clashes. he needs to go get a green bib or something. i was under the impression they all had to bring at least two different coloured shirts to all games - i would have been fuming if i was you guys.

Maybe somebody should start a referee thread?
Anyone got any news on the rescheduling of washed out games?

Orange and that coloured red would look pretty close during a night game...
