From the third grade lads at mayfield hope the G/k from Berro is doing ok hope to see you back on the pitch real soon scary seeing you in situation we hope the tickers alright all the best to you and your family mate.
Just like to thank everyone for a great day of football at CCFC.
Imo
3rds Dudley v Uni
Dudley played well and Uni just couldn't seem to put it together but a late goal made it interesting.
Big unit at back for Duds killed it!
Res
Uni outplayed Bero but second half was interesting.
Not over yet!
1st
Bero had all there players back and so did CCFC so it was no excuses.
There was some absolutely ding dong battles between a few guys.
Archie v Eefy
Blakey and Merkel.
Coops and Burty
Etc
I'd just like to tilt my hat to all four clubs for an enjoyable day and everyone played in great spirit
In the thirds game on Saturday (Dudley v Uni) Dudley pulled the spectacular move of substituting 2 players in the first 10 seconds of the match.
No doubt there are "reasons"...and I would love to have someone from Dudley explain it...but its three times in three finals series over several years that I have seen Dudley do this, so you will have trouble convincing me.
All I can say is it looks bad, it stinks, :redcard:, and its the sort of move that gives Dudley their well deserved Grub status....
If I was one of those players substituted I would have been pissed, and certainly wouldn't be playing there next season.
But maybe there is a genuine reason ?:popcorn:
Ahhh my favourite qualification issue, well as all the clubs have allowed this and did not respond earlier when the email was sent outlining the 66% bullshit, etc..Quote:

the bed is now made lie in it.
Dudley technically have done nothing wrong, only using the rules as they have ......but if your from Uni, wasn't your 1st grade midfielder on the bench in reggies?? the skinny red headed kid....I've only seen Uni 1st grade play a few times and he played 1st every time.....and as one punter said to me, have a look at this kid he can play, he's there best, so i'm going to assume he played 1st all year....
They could be all age players as well I believe that they can play up but can't start if they are not dual registeredQuote:

Exactly....the bloke has been away with work and family commitments, has been injured and has played in both reserves and firsts this year..... so well and truly qualified, and having represented the club in different grades and times throughout the year. AND WAS NOT USED.....AND IS ONE OF OUR BEST MIDFIELDERS...Quote:

I know one thing....Uni (and the vast majority of other clubs) would never demean their players like that. Can you imagine being that bloke being subbed out ?...I would refuse to take the field if I knew it was going to happen.
Yes that is one possibility... Cheers for that. As I did say...There could be very valid reasons....but I can tell you now, the whole Dudley bench and supporters were very low key and would not return comments at the time....IMO - that tells me that they knew what the outcome would be, what would be said, what would be thought, and that it wasn't going to be positive.Quote:

don't get me wrong either, I don't agree with what has been done, as it happened to us a few years back, by well need I say the clubs name, but the same as last weekend, the powers that be let it happen....all because most of the clubs are to weak to speak up......
Dear keyboard warrior,
Those blokes who subbed on consistently played third grade all year, just because they would also then start another grade therefore they wouldn't qualify for thirds.
Those blokes deserve to be there as much as anyone else
Mate it consistently happens at Dudley cause the boys have a got a bit of ticker and play all grades at times mate.
Guessing you are a uni bloke hence the whinging, good to see you have obviously got a bit of fear in you.
As for the "grub status" you are welcome whinge all you like, when you come down to Dudley you are getting a game.
All good mate. No fear from the uni boys with the opposition, just maybe the location. :)Quote:

Jardel has it right. A 10s change is not in the spirit of the game but it is within the rules. Can a player still be a true 3rder when they are constantly thrown up grades to fill in during the year? maybe.
Q. Both players who subbed on early are they now allowed to start 3rds in the next game?
If you are playing with that team the whole year you deserve to be there,
It's not like those boys have had nothing to do with the team.
Yeah just fair few injuries and holidays caused fair few boys to back up regularly last couple of years.
Well that seems a good reason to have them come on 10 seconds into a match.....Why not the last minute ?....Quote:

Sorry Jardel....wasn't yelling champ...just highlighting the fact that Uni could have played someone on the ground that was a class above...but didnt.
I guess in the end it would be a really hard rule to police ? Your thoughts ?
As Jardel said before....have all players fulfilled the 66% rule for each team ?...impossible to manage ?Quote:

Police THAT!!!Quote:

You can make assumptions all you want.
The club has had a transition year and numbers are down due to injury/holidays. We are not a club to cheat or stack grades to make finals. Just do not have the numbers and the guys that have had to back up each week are showing Dudley spirit. Bit rich given the team you sent out against us in the 2nd round, compared to the team in the finals.
All players we use are down to injuries or lack of numbers. Talk about true spirit of the game. I think who are willing to be there for the club, put there hand up and help out their friends is a true spirit of a club. Also as for us doing this for 3 years running. Last year our third grade was intact and all players had played through out the year and well reggies have no fresh subs to begin with. So coach puts whomever on the bench. Our reserve grade is strong and all could play first grade. So that argument is invalid
