CCB wouldn't match Jaffas financially.

start of many running for the hills
Baaaaahahahahahahahahahhaha, so far from the truth, every " mercenary " will be payed, as would have Jim, his choice to reneg on the deal.
Sorry to dissapoint all you CCB knockers, but money is not a problem at the club on the hill, so pick something else, its wearing thin.
The current points system isn't working and if anything is making the stronger clubs stronger and weaker clubs weaker. Get rid of the points cap and make the weaker committees get off their arses and do whats required to fix their club so they can compete with the bigger clubs or they will perish through continually being also rans.
U/20's isn't working and should be 22's or 23's (or even the old reserve grade) with 20's instead of 18's, the gulf between the 20's and first team is the biggest it's ever been. These players are not getting the time to develop by playing with and against seasoned players like we did back in our day and this is reflected in the gulf between the grades.
Make it open slather with regards to first grade along with bringing back older age restrictions or don't have any at all then watch while our game improves and the numbers of home grown players filtering through to A League grow in this area.
Am I right in reading it a 1pm Kick Off at Darling St today??
It also a 7:30. Kick off at Jack McLauglin??
Northern gone troppo
I think Northern shooting themselves in the foot
7:30pm KO in late August is killing crowd attendance
1pm KO is also killing crowd attendance
I for one can't make the 1pm game and be lucky to get there for the last 15 mins of it
Will be able to get out to Edgy tonight and freeze my arse with the rest of the die hards
But as for your casual observer the KO times really are bizarre and an exercise in shooting one self in the foot
This why I prefer the more traditional semi final format
Why isn't one semi final tomorrow ?
Refereeing at its finest. Cleal has to be the most incompetent ref going around
That Bird's a smart player
1-0 Magic on the night
Petit with the goal
Lesson really on what Football is about really
Edgy dominant but couldn't score in a brothel with a fistful of fifties at the moment
Magic can barely get the ball in the front 3rd but convert the chance
1-0 Magic at HT
Can't really recall Magic with a shot at goal bar the goal
But it game on and they got a great shot here at taking Edgy out
Magic get the next goal I think it game set and match
But this going to extra time as I freezing my arse off
Lol
Swan boys start in front of Papas?
As predicted
Extra time
1-0 Magic after 90
Virgili with a chance to win it in injury time but couldn't get the ball out from under his feet
That being said for a bloke who spent how many years at a HAL club some serious questions need asking of what they taught him those years because sometimes he looks like he just started playing today for the first time
1-1 now
McBreen with a tap in
Magic **** up in the box defending it laid it on a platter wrong footing the keeper too giving McBreen a tap in
2-1 Magic now
Virgili with a shit shot knocked in on the line
I assuming away goals count in extra time ??
2-1 Magic HT ET
So 2-2 on aggregate and I assume Magic through on away goals at this moment if things stay same
FT 2-1 Magic
But no they not through to the GF
So for some reason we are off to a penalty shootout??
Northern FMD
Your going to play 2 legged football
Let's play it properly
Away goals count in extra time
Edgy win Shootout 3-1
Pretty clear in rules, and understandably so. No away goals in extra time. Probably one of the few rules that make sense given how poorly thought out some others are.
Why play extra time if away goals don't count ?
That is a bit harsh for magic but there is always next year
Rules are rules but they are out
Good Luck Edgeworth
So...... after 90 minutes magic and Edgeworth are tied..... but because edgy scored, magic had to score two in extra time to win ? Seems so stupid to me
That's right. If Edgy lead by 1 why shouldn't Magic need 2 to win and 1 to draw. Both teams had the same home and away period. In extra time every thing starts again. They don't change grounds at halftime to share the home and away advantage. I suppose you want penalties to be on home and away rule as well.
Reason you have away goals is to settle it before penalties
If your happy to eliminate a side for the season based on away goals after 90 mins then you should also be playing it in Extra time just as it done in the UCL and WCQ ties
If you going to have away goals play it this way. If not go back to one legged affairs
So team playing 2nd leg away always has advantage!! In this case it also is the team that is lower on the table. So after both teams have had same time frame and rules applied over 2 x 90 minute games, one team can win in extra time without scoring more goals. You should be on committe at CCB and board of Northern with that logic!
What is the argument? both teams knew the rules. It is not as though the rules were made up on the night.
Champions League interpretation of the away goal rule in extra time is heavily criticised but has some bearing given the 2 matches are usually played in different cities or countries where crowd support etc. can be a distinct advantage. Not the case in local comps.
