It's 1 weekend of the season they get off. Ffs give them a break
So if the coaches, managers and committee went to the concert that would be fine? It's 1 weekend of the season they get off?Quote:

As for you spastics getting on here inferring that the reasons Maitland doesn't earn promotion or drops points is due to festivals…....just piss off. All clubs lose players thoughout the year for various reasons. It's how you perform without those players that is a reflection upon your club and the strength of your club. For someone to raise the issue that the committee/coaches will determine if players miss games through extra-curricular activities is plain bullshit. These guys aren't professional, therefore have the "freedom" to do as want…….. or at least should have!
My take on the "Roger furore" that has consumed posts earlier this week…..
He appears to be a quality player… what's the problem? Although I didn't see the game against BelSwans last week, I was informed that he set up the 2 second half goals for that "prick" Juddy! What more do you guys want???? Is it that some people (maybe Maitland supporters) can't get past that "BOMB" that Roger scored against Maitland at Adamstown last year in that washed out game that ultimately sank their promotion aspirations for 2013??? FFS get over it! Maybe you are just 12 months behind your club management goals?????
ouch
Good old Sancho
He may be a quality player but has not clicked with the Maitland players. I can easily inform you that in no way did he or has set up a goal this season. Juddy created them on his own and mate you have rocks in your head if you think Juddy is a prick! He is the most level headed and respected player in the club. Yes Rodger's goal was a bomb, no one is denying that but he is playing like an under 6 year old at the moment and people are not happy. He could not even finish a goal on the goal line yesterday! As for club management goals, supporters and players are on track with it all but are slowly being disappointed by new personnel.Quote:

How many did Ben Martin score this week?

However, if he is now creating the goals on his own, ie taking a throw in, receiving the throw, turning a player, passing the ball to himself, controlling the pass and hitting a scorcher of a shot to score a goal, then he is no "prick".... I'm elevating him to "SUPER PRICK" status. I'm sure he'll be happy with your wrap!

No agenda, just opinion mate. All entitled to one regardless of where we stand. It's what forums are for: opinions, discussions, results, ripping on others and everything else to do with football.Quote:

Rescheduled games last night West Wallsend v Thornton
1st Grade 3-2 to West Wallsend 23's 1-1 draw
West Wallsend U23's were unlucky not to take all 3 with Thornton scoring a very late goal and Westy missed a few chances but looked the stronger side all game.
First Grade West Wallsend came out in first half are controlled game, were up 3-1 a one stage and looking like it could have been more. Second half came out but perhaps fell into worrying about scoreline too much instead of playing the football they did in first half. Made for tense final ten minutes. Result certainly makes 4th spot an open competition at this stage.
Refereeing was poor, and that's a purely personal opinion, in both grades. I'm all for the respect policy Northern are trying to enforce but it has to work both ways. Players not carded for placing their hands on another players neck yet carded for daring to make a comment that didn't contain a single swear word to a linesman...... come on.
Isn't it sad our supposed 2nd tier comp and coming up to round 8 of 21 and there is already talk of teams competing for 4th spot. So basically it's 3 teams playing to see what order they finish in top 3 and 5 playing for 4th. Sad that it's the case so early. Well only 4 singo don't seem to be looking a threat for the fourth spot.Quote:

I think he was also pointing out the fact that players aren't there to be assualted either, and that if somebody places a hand on anothers throat it should receive as much attention as dissent.
----------------Ok already, We are now finished with the Maitland & Roger debate-------------
I'll be openly honest, I don't believe say West Wallsend are as high quality a team as Maitland this season. My comment was more that it was so tight in points and some may be surprised Westy are in a position to be competing for possible semi finals with what occurred pre-season.Quote:

Yes sorry, my poor wording. My point would have better described in that the linesman has openly said to a first grade coach walking down the ramp after half time that he should have intervened in the incident and that both players should have been carded and that he had said as much during half time to the referee (bear in mind the linesman is by far the more senior and experienced official).Quote:

Now as a spectator, even I find that a little hard to take. I don't believe referees should be abused or insulted and I support the Respect premise Northern are trying to promote. I just found the situations and the degree of each incidents disregard for the rules to be at highly different ends of the scale.
He disrespected the linesman, therefore the linesman told the ref that he should be carded.
1st Grade - Singleton 4 Cessnock 3
23s Singleton 0 Cessnock 0
19s Singleton 1 Cessnock 4
1st Grade Valo 12 Westy 0
23s Valo 6 - 0
