The main problem is that it’s in Tarro.

I have it on good authority that Azzurri are somewhat depleted from their midweek battle with Cardiff. Could open the door for a Bay win. Can anyone confirm?

Kotara South vs Swansea
1sts -
2nds 2-6
3rds 9-1
Kotara South Kittens are afraid of getting wet and cancelled the first grade game today due to the pitch being ‘unsafe’. However 3rds and 2nds played on it with no issues with the pitch holding up well considering the conditions. The decision was made not by officials but by someone from the kittens early in the 2nd half of 2nds. If the call was made at that point of the game that it was unsafe for first grade why did 2nds continue?
Rumour has it the Kittens had players unavailable and some just didn’t turn up due to being scared of the ZPL Bad Boy Will McMaster. He does know his way around a wet pitch.
Honourable mention in 2nds to Swansea’s worst Curry (there is 5) for making an immediate impact off the bench with a goal. Harrison Rapp did the ground work and set him up and is hoping for Curry to return the favour off the pitch.
I hope the referees put in a report as the decision should have been entirely theirs.If the decison to cancel first grade was made during reggies that the field was unsafe it would not suddenly have become unsafe at the end of that game.IMO Kotara South should be dealt with in some way.
If you are dumb enough to think the referees had no say and the game was somehow called off without their approval then you have rocks in your head.
Perhaps they made a decision that the pitch was deteriorating and that it would not have held up during 1sts, hence making a logical, common sense decision.
Considering the call to play is made in the morning, could it be possible that the pitch conditions got worse throughout the day?
Seriously, get your covid vaccine. Not everything is a conspiracy.
When Swansea’s first grade coach asked the referee in 2nds if the game was off in 1sts, the referee knew nothing about it.
Nesbitt Park held up very well in the rain, it wasn’t torn to shreds and no one was slipping over due to the pitch like last weekend at Cardiff.
If they weren’t happy with the pitch then they should of postponed the whole day.
The correct person to ask would have been the AR in reserves, not the referee, as the AR would have had the centre for first grade.
After 9.00am it is the referees jurisdiction to call the game off or not, not the clubs.
Yesterday at the swamp, the AR for reserves who was to be the referee for first grade, approached both clubs indicating he was 70/30 for calling first grade off due to injury concerns. However as the second half of reserves played out, the rain subsided and first grade ended up going ahead.
Why is everyone on here so assblasted about the games getting called off due to rain? We've had the wettest year in nearly half a decade resulting in green but consistently wet grounds, additionally a non-existent pre-season meaning injuries galore in most clubs. Stop crying and look forward to the catch up games you sooks :rof:
I think that's just the thing, we haven't had that much rain. Yeah it rained heaps in March, but there was no competition games in March???
Sure it rained Saturday, but we didn't get the predicted totals. Saturday was crap mainly due to the windy conditions. If those were not present, then nobody would be complaining about the weather.
I agree it’s not ideal to cancel games just prior to kick off but ultimately the officials have the final say no matter how much protesting made by either side.
Pretty confident that if the game went ahead the comments on here would be flipped to shouldn’t of played, ball didn’t roll, heavy under foot, players siding in with dangerous tackles.
Wasn’t Chapman Oval for games/training over the last two days? Probably not.
there were some photos posted of the reserve grade game on Facebook, yesterday and it showed definite puddles etc. So looking at that casual water on the pitch it could be deemed dangerous and should have been called off.
Maybe the way it was done is the issue, but as hacker says "two washouts in the 1st round" pretty lucky so far.
With regards to the predictions
If I pick washout for all games and pick double points will this be acceptable 😀
No. Washout games will be entered and updated when played.
