Went 3-0 up very quick but Dudley got better as the game went on.
Good to finally get our first game on our home ground.
Hopefully there was hot water? Waiting for old mate's shower report.Quote:

All of this is only my opinion but I couldn't help posting it. I am a former ref who has moved to play AA so i have some strong opinions on treatment of refs. I understand the heat of the game gets to all of us but i believe players can still treat refs fairly, particularly when they are clubby.
My issue is that during tonight's game this club referee again copped criticism from players on the field to the point of needing to issue a yellow for dissent to a Dudley player. It is embarrassing enough to get a yellow for dissent normally but to get one for speaking back to a clubby is just wrong in my opinion. NNSW is launching massive campaigns to try and get respect back into the game and it is entirely for things like this. Now you could call it an over-reaction on my part because I am so passionate about treating refs better but I believe players need to have a long look at themselves and question why it is they struggle to get refs out to games.
My second gripe comes from a player (claiming they use to ref) trying to encourage the clubby to not record the 2 yellows because there was one each way so they cancel out, again trying to strong arm a clubby to suit themselves
Now I am sorry that this was so negative on what was by other accounts a decent night to get out and play after weeks of being off the park but seeing a close friend of mine helping out the soccer community to be treated like that made me disappointed. Again this is not an attack on either team (I am not affiliated with either team) but i just feel so strongly that when we have clubbys helping out we should be thanking them for helping us play
Hi was just wondering if any Friday nights side have any slots left before transfer closes I’m currently playing zpl but can’t commit anymore even lower league zone just after a game and some fun
Had it happen to me last year, was doing an o/35 game last year, gave out 2 cards for dissent, and tbh had I not been a clubbie who was a registered ref that year and sending someone off would've meant some questions I didn’t want to answer, I would’ve punted the keeper for trying to intimidate meQuote:

Honestly I know reffing is hard, but jeez, wasn’t a good look.
Pm you mate definitely could use another playerQuote:

Redhead 0, Cardiff 2. Congratulations to Cardiff on their 1st win, they were highly energetic. Jeez our pitch is bad, still really soggy.
Yup, I think you are right. Valo O35C played Cooks Hill this Friday night.Quote:

Did anyone get any games away Saturday? I know a few got away Friday night.
Muswellbrook Old Boys Day went ahead. AllAge C grade
Mus Vegas 4-1 Hamilton Azzurri.
I'm presuming the Muswellbrook team contains a lot of players from their zl3 squad from last year?Quote:

Hey All,
I hope everyone is keeping safe.
Has there been any talk about current outstanding rescheduled fixtures and potential future washouts being marked as draws? Or any other solution? Obviously every team has been affected but using my team for example we have 9 games to be played in total (both rescheduled/future fixtures) before the end of the season. The last weekend of the regular season is 13/08 which is only 6 weekends away including this weekend where there will be no soccer again. Given weather forecast and the rain we have had already this will lead to more washouts both on weekends and mid week.
Haven't heard anything myself, but i am assuming the logistics will force some 1-1 washout scoresQuote:

O35 FRI C.
Redhead 0, Cooks Hill 4.
Must say their pitch sets the bench mark for all grounds. Absolutely brilliant given the amount of rain and how many fields were closed.
The council did a brilliant job on no.6. Sand base, lots of drainage and good grass. Only trouble we've got is trying to squeeze all games on there.
O35’s A Sat
Edgy v Kotara
Sorry to hear Kotara guy has a broken leg.
All the best and hope for a speedy recovery.
Hows the catch up congestion looking for everyone?
I was looking through my All Age comp and a team has been scheduled to play 6 games in 13 days.
Pretty happy to only have to play 3 in 6 now.
6 in 13 days. Good luck with thatQuote:

Has there been many forfeits?Quote:

I hear another double header this weekend also for us. Tough times but there is no other solution really.
the conditions that games are being played in during these last few weeks are much worse than earlier in the season
hopefully next La Nina year we'll see clubs stop being so precious with their grounds early on to avoid this sort of congestion
Hopefully by then many more teams will have grounds like National park no6. I doubt it though. As for Redhead we're hoping the lights on the 2nd oval will be complete for next season to give us reduced traffic on our only lights ground.Quote:

It's ironic that the council close the grounds during the season due to 'safety concerns' when it rains, but NNSW are happy to re-schedule 6 games in 16 days for a bunch of 40 year olds.
Our 17 man squad is down to 11 fit players, and we are only at game 3 of 6.
I guess forfeits look better than complete round cancellations to some?
And yeah, the trashed fields we're playing on now are way worse than the washed out fields of earlier rounds, which says a lot as Round 4 games are being played this weekend!
NNSW do not re-schedule community football competitionsQuote:

Newcastle still dragging out rescheduled matches. Got one from July 16 that still hasn’t been rescheduled.
Liles oval (Redhead) is closed until Wednesday already. We're trying to have our match v Charlestown that was Tuesday 16-8 played Friday 19-8 instead as it has a bearing on the finals (for them). We were beat 0-5 by Cookers Friday night and it rain continuously. Ref warned about calling game off and there was another AA game straight after ours.
Ground was fooked. Saturday had 6 scheduled games, ref called it off after 13's and 14's played.
Any one played at South Cardiff lately? Given the rain scheduled for the week what's the chances of matches getting away there on the weekend?
Any idea when the schedule for the semis is going to come out?
I think they have already.Quote:
