If you were a bench player and didn't get on (and didn't play other grades in the round), then you didn't play that week. (E50 3)
The thing is that none of this is policed. Unless you have access to the opposing teams stats, there’s no way you can pull anyone up on it unless it’s obvious.
The other side of it, if you have three grades in the finals there’s no exception. Which is wild because your teams are already stretched. There needs to be some commonsense applied as no clubs with all grades are going to play higher grade players in lower teams. The rules applied block players from being able to get a shirt.
Well that's quite true, unless you suspect it may not be true and lodge a complaint with NF to investigate after the fact.Quote:

Taffy, understand and agree what it says, I also read that, but i was told by the hierarchy that the % are a bit skewed and if you went onto the Admin side of squaddie, you could see that better.
I think it's a Squaddie system fault, which squaddie has plenty of faults in it.
In the end, it is what it is, just hope everyone is around it and no-one gets caught out.
Happy finals weekend to all.
yes they dropped that one out also, that one always supported the successful clubs who could get all grades in, play wherever until a team drops out, now it's gone, not sure why they would do that..Quote:

Anyone up for some predictions?
suns will be fired up from their embarrassing defeat against Olympic and I expect them to win 5-0
Cardiff uni is tricky. I rate both teams and think Cardiff will win it 3-1
This is complete madness. And that player from my understanding can not even start on the bench for ressies.Quote:

I understand your confusion, let me elaborate my point.Quote:

- bitter rivals Dudley breathing down their necks
- they only needed 1 point to seal the premiership and promotion
So it's not the loss to Olympic but the context and implications of losing which makes it embarrassing IMO... I think Suns will be ready to make things right and with the quality in their squad (IMO the best team in the comp) they could be deadly.
Also this is my 100th post on the forums so feel free to congratulate me for my service if you get a chance
I think there was a feeling from most on here (not lofty and the suns camp to be fair) that for weeks now the premiership and promotion was a forgone conclusion and the fact Dudley pipped them on the final day came as a shock to everyone. In isolation a loss away at Islington park is not an embarrassing result at all and could happen to any team in the comp.Quote:

All things considered, I believe Suns will get their revenge, winning by a goal in a tight one tomorrow.
Cardiff will over power Uni at home.
Ah - misunderstood.Quote:

3rds uni fight back from 2 down to beat suns in pens
Res suns prevail in pens after 1 all full time both goals were scrappy
1st suns get revenge
Are both suns 1st n res keepers injured for the season 3rd grade keeper played 2 games n res striker played again in goals for 1sts
Our first grade keeper hasn’t played since round 17 and our resssies keeper has played one game since then which was round 18. It’s not ideal, but it is what it is.Quote:

Ps as a nuetral , it was a typical semi final slog. Very tough conditions with the heat , hard ground and the wind. Physical at times and both teams with good chances to win it. Especially Cardiff hitting the crossbar twice in last 2 mins.
You sound like my wife, telling me what would have happened...Quote:

This is my routine after 95% of our games, just this week's went longer and got home a little bit later.
No one is touchy, and as Luke Littler said good tough game, both gave it their all...bring on 2025
are we finished now?

So can Dudley simply try and get youth for next season or do NNSW only have a certain amount if youth licences available?. If Dudley are not allowed to have youth they are basically playing for survival in Northern League 1 and they cannot be promoted. Sounds like a stupid system to me especially with no GF in Northern League 1
They have got a bucket load of work to do before next year, it?s all new to them in regards to chasing youth teamsQuote:
