i think the boys said firsts was 0-5 or 0-6 to uni

does anyone know what happened to the grandstand that was at Warner's Bay for about a year, then was pulled down? Unstable land near the creek?
Would've been a good set up if it was still there imo.

dudley 1 - 0 barnsley 1st
dudley won both other grades too
Interesting game in firsts. Dudley probly thought they got what they deserved, Barnsley would be feeling hard done by. Barnsley knocked back for what looked like two obvious penalties but that's the way it goes.
In my opinion neither team deserves to take he points off the others. A draw would have been a real reflection of the match.
Both teams have alot of talent an alot of fight, they should both end up in decent positions by the end of the season!
yeah i saw the game to.. and a non biast opinion here would have me agree with you left right out. ill even go out on a limb and say barnsley were the better side. The ref certainly wasnt on there side in first grade.
from my angle I saw another even affair. both have quality squads. Barns won the first half although 0-0. Dudley the 2nd up until they sat back with 15 to go and invited Barnsley in. seen barnsley twice this yr and have noticed some (a few) Barnsley turn on some disappointing behaviour when they go behind, this goes beyond the usual frustrated rant. why? pen calls were soft although i have seen them given.
fair enough dudley definately setting the bar in 3rds and reserves though !
uni seems to be the gun side in 1sts
They were "soft" yes, but you shouldnt need to have a leg broken to get a penalty. On the halfway line they would have been fouls, therefore should be pens. Thats my theory anyway!
I cant say i noticed the dissapointing behaviour, i was on the top of the hill in the sun, so i couldnt hear anything. But from what ive seen around this year and last year Barnsley certainly arent the only club that does it.... it seems to be something ive seen around a fair few time, which is dissapointing!
pretty tough day out at Dudley. they definitely make it a good day... nice cold beers and a good sizzle...
didnt see the 2nd half of 3rds, but the boys seemed to think they threw it away.
us in resies certainly threw it away in the 2nd half... being up 3-1, extra man on the pitch but then conceding just before and after half time to make it 3-3, and getting a player sent of ourselves didnt help, then dudley score a winner right at the death.
only ourselves to blame. they wanted it more in the 2nd half.
1st was a good game. i think a draw would have been fair, but thats the way it goes hey.
need to pick it up against plattsy on wednesday.
The Barnyards turned out in force and made it a great day at Thistle Park, good to see a couple come back to the pub after the games too. Pretty unlucky not to get a point, good claim for a penalty in first grade, fairly even encounter. Certainly showed they belong in the division
Away from that particular match though, do you not agree that if it would be called on the halfway line then it should be called in the box?
or are you one of those who believe it has to be something worse for a penalty (by one of those i guess i mean a defender haha)
good point. I would prefer a game is not decided by a menial incident in the box eg accidental handball is often given outfield and only sometimes in box. An obvious foul, give it. A contentious shoulder to shoulder grabbing each other, out field give a free to calm the tension but in box probs not. Probably why i couldnt be a ref.
