Unfortunately the weather gods have served up diabolical conditions for football.
Buds in extra time.
Awaba absolute bottle jobs
How ****ing lucky have buds been in the last two weeks?
For the clowns that took promotion and relegation out of Newcastle football. Look at today, look what it means to the clubs players and fans of football. It should never have been taken away and we would have better competitions now. IMO
But I?m just an old man yelling at clouds.
NNSWF couldn't have written a better script today
Where is the ? like ? button for this ^^Quote:

Anyone else see Faj get kicked in the 72nd min? Should’ve been a pen and a clear red.
No need to buy lottery tickets GA. Stags had it in their grasp, but bottled it as magician mentioned above. Well played Buds.Quote:

Well in to everyone great day out at Jack Mac as always.

NNSWF seem to have arrived at a mix of the Championship playoffs and the 3rd last (16th) in the Bundesliga playoff.
Does anyone know what that trophy was that Rosebuds were holding up afterwards?
They legit didn't get a prize for not being relegated did they?
Someone please make it make sense.
It was for winning the play offs,Quote:

So technically Buds won the NL1 title. What a farce.Quote:

Buds should have played whoever came second, one off game, winner takes all, simple, third & fourth shouldn?t earn the right to promotion

There's no technically about it, Belswans won the NL1 title.Quote:

Yeah I am sure 11th NPL will be happy waiting 3 weeks before they play againQuote:

In bigger news, how did Dino get mom over young greeny ? Please
Agreed. Green was best on by a long wayQuote:

Things I personally would want changed for next season are don't give the winner of the day medals, because earning/retaining NPL is a trophy enough itself.. and make the NL1 Reserve Grade finals format the same as First Grade - either 1v4, 2v3 two-legs.. or the old 1v2, 3v4, winner gets a rest etc - I don't hugely mind which one, but I didn't like having the two grades playing two different formats. It made no sense why First Grade was 2-legged but RG wasn't. These are only small changes, but credit where its due I think NNSW have nearly nailed it otherwise.
Green was amazing but Pete Macpherson was on another planet. Both miles ahead of any Buds player.Quote:

Agree, watching the presentaion, it just felt odd. I think even the players themselves felt a bit awkward, and the Tornoto boys where just left on the field to do nothing more than just watch.
I'll remember that when WBA run 3rd/4th or 5thQuote:
