I actually think he doesn't even play for a team. Or plays for both teams if you know what I mean. Wink wink, nudge nudge.
Or it's the Members new Multi and this is a social experiment he's putting us all through.
Stocko's goal was a header, New Lambton's was not.Quote:

I have a decent sense of humor, but You should be careful with some of your comments "if you know what I mean" Especially in this Australian climate.. re LBGABC stuff .... As some may take offence...Ha ha
Just sayin..!
I truly don't know what you mean, please elaborate.Quote:

Uni won and they scored the same amount as CH did vs WL = 0
Grand Total = 1
POOR TIPPING
You might (I say might) be able to give yourself 0.5 on that one. 1 previous weeks result hasn't been put in, where we won by 2, so we are in fact, on a 0 goal difference. We were before the weekend, so I will leave it to the tipping comp adjudicators to see if you are allowed to give yourself 0.5.Quote:

New Lambton v Stockton - 0
- Stockton finding a way through the solid defence of NL to break my heart.
Azzuri v Suburbs - 0
- The dream run continues for Azzuri. I thought Suburbs may had stood a chance with their Friday night keeper but Azzuri are just that good.
Uni v Maryland - 1
- The saving grace for my tipping this week. Hopefully Maryland put their goal scoring boots away for this weeks upcoming clash.
Total - 1
Tough week for tipping
I’m happy not to give him the 0.5Quote:

Or I am happy for you guys to bring in a neutral third party to be official adjudicator, I just feel I am too biased against Jesmond to give this the help it deserves.Quote:

So with CH opening up a 5 point gap to 5th placed New Lambton, can we say the current top 4 will be the ones who make the semis? I can't see either CH or Uni dropping out of the the four. The poor bulldogs may as well put the spoon up on the wall already.
Interesting. Good to see the main table.Quote:

Thankyou to everyone for rising above our ethnic disputes and giving this competition the attention, honesty & passion it deserves. Pat yourselves on the back, the spirit of the Shield is alive and well. One would argue it is the pinnacle of Australian Football in the current age.Quote:

Play times over
Stockton v Jesmond - Stockton
Penalty to be given
Westlakes v Maryland - Westlakes
This is game of the round for me. West Lake like a Bengal Tiger to come out firing scoring at least 2 goals in the first half
Uni v New Lambton - draw
Uni holidays. Bad news for the students
New Lambton to be winning and Uni to equalise in last 15
Wallsend v Azzurri- Azzurri
Last game was a tough 1-0 win for blues. I see it being the opposite. -3 start
Cooks Hill v Suburbs - suburbs
Would like Cooks Hill to win this for the blues to get closer to the most important title in world football. But Suburbs to get back on track. 2 goals from corners in the game
Stockton vs Jesmond: Sharkies are the kings of the draw, having drawn more games than any other team in the comp and I'm predicting this match will be no different. DRAW, both teams to score a minimum of two goals each.
Westlakes vs Maryland: Here's an interesting stat, Westlakes have actually conceded 5 more goals than Maryland have in the last 5 games (20 WL, 15 Maryland). Both teams winless in the last 5 matches. In saying that, it is impossible to back Maryland. Westlakes will win this but I might be tight. They won't win by more than 2.
Uni vs NL: If NL have any hopes of making the semis then they need to win this match. They have the form, undefeated in their last 4 outings, recording three wins and a draw although they were against teams in the bottom half of the ladder. I think it will be a close one. Uni to win but NL's First Grade team will score twice as many goals or more in First Grade as Uni do in third grade (hope that makes sense).
Wallsend vs Azzurri: The strange thing about Wallsend is that I actually really rated them when we played them in the first round. Their results before Round 6 were really encouraging but have been on a slippery slope since that Round 6 draw with the Bulldogs. It makes me wonder if they have lost a few players? Defensively they are quite good with the best GD in the bottom half of the table. I'm predicted Azzurri will win but will not score more than 3 goals.
CH vs Burbs: Draw, both teams to score.
Stockton v Jesmond - Stockton
Stockton at home vs teams they are on parr with usually means a win for Stockton.
- Both teams to score and Scores level at HT
Westlakes v Maryland - Westlakes
A real danger game for us. After being pummelled for 3 weeks straight we can’t afford to be lackadaisical with our efforts this week.
- WL for have a better GD than Stockton after this weekend.
Uni v New Lambton - Draw
This is the opportunity of a lifetime for New Lambton. I think they should win this but something deep down thinks Uni won’t let that happen.
- More goals in the second half than the first
Wallsend v Azzuri - Azzuri
Wallsend haven’t turned up the last few weeks. Not sure what’s doing there as they’ve historically had a strong 3rds side. I think they will turn up this week but just fall short
- Highest scoring match at Cook Park on the day
Cooks Hill v Suburbs - Cooks Hill
This match could go either way. Cooks hill to bring their scoring boots from last week.
- CH to score first and last goal
Already news filtering through WL 2-0 ML
Both goals.... not scored in the first half
That is correctQuote:

3rds
Maryland seemed to be down in troops but they definitely pushed us to the limit. Took until about 10 mins to go before the 2nd goal was scored. They defended like their lives depended on it.
Ressies
The goal was scored about 15mins in, was a nice little 1 2 around some defenders to put the Maryland player 1 on 1 with our keeper. About 20 mins in a WL player saw red after a silly foul and silly words to the ref. Hopefully he will learn from that. After that the game was an arm wrestle with both teams having their chances. Result was pretty on the money.
1sts
Again I think a few ressies players backed up for firsts. They seemed to be down on numbers I could be wrong. Was a very good game and that showed by being 1-0 at half time. Looked like Maryland just ran out of legs as the game opened up and WL were able to take advantage
#Make3rdsGreatAgain
What does result need to be in stocko game for your prediction?
Need Stockton to lose by 5 or more. But I also tipped Stockton.. really snookered myself on that oneQuote:

Thirds
3-4
Ressies
0-7
In dark period for ZL1 the referees decided to go ahead with 1st grade despite the ground being under water. I will never get those 20 minutes of my life back watching that nonsense before common sense prevailed.

It was an absolute shambles in 3rds, very much full strength :rof: 4-1 up and the boys just lot the plot. Credit to Wallsend though they really pushed and I thought they'd equalise. Pitch was an evener to be fair.Quote:
