Weekend conclusions -
Pressure mounting at Tigers. Penthouse to shithouse very quickly.
Warners Bay - We have got the biggest result of the season. Beresfield - Hold my beer. Take a bow gentlemen that is truly the result of the season.
Mayfield still not conceded.
Cooks Hill need to stop playing a 1-1-8 formation.
Lower grades was where the action was as they served up 59 goals.
I am shite at tipping.
Hope everyone enjoyed and god bless ZPL.
Seems like Dudley were big to criticize the suns loosing the other week. I can suddenly hear crickets coming from their ground....
ZPL Tipping after Round 4
1st - Hacker = 14 points
2nd - Cognitio = 13 points
3rd - Jim = 12 points
3rd - Bleachers = 12 points
5th - Hornigold = 11 points
5th - Haricut = 11 points
7th - Cabaye#4 = 10 points
8th - gtg = 9 points
8th - THEBIGCHEESE = 9 points
*Hornigold given lowest score of 1 point for not tipping.
Tough week for the tipsters. Everyone picking the Suns results against Cardiff with ‘Bleachers’ picking up an extra point for guessing the Kotara result and ‘gtg’ getting a point for guessing the Mayfield/Azzuri draw.
Shall we pick a upcoming round for double points???
I will continue with my weekend conclusions for you Hotline.
Thoughts on double points round. Would be easier just one round rather than keeping track. Maybe round 10? Everyone has played each other and no excuses from us tipsters for not having any form!!!!!!!
Week 5 Predictions
Cooks Hill 1-2 Azzurri
Cardiff 2-0 Kotara
Mayfield 1-1 Beresfield
Suns 4-0 Swansea
Dudley 2-1 Warners Bay
Week 5 Predictions
Cooks Hill 2-4 Azzurri
Cardiff 2-2 Kotara
Mayfield 1-0 Beresfield
Suns 2-0 Swansea
Dudley 3-1 Warners Bay
Week 5 Predictions.
Cooks Hill v Azzuri. Azzuri haven't scored in the last two games and will break that drought this weekend against Cooks what's defending Hill.
Azzuri - 3-0 win.
Cardiff v Kotara. Kotara proving the that the coach was the problem all along last week. New coach to make it 2 in a row and Cardiff still searching for the first win of the season.
Kotara - 2-1 win.
Mayfield v Bero. Bero produced the biggest upset since I won an argument with Mrs Cheese last week but it wont last. Another clean sheet for Mayfield and 3 points.
Mayfield - 2-0 win.
Suns v Swansea. Suns copping it here on the forum as the big spenders haven't produced, yet they are still in second. Swansea on the same amount of points but not copping it but producing similar results.
Suns - 2-1 win
Dudley v Warners Bay. Dudley back at home will be as desperate for a result as FIFO worker after month away. Warners Bay have been competitive so far but will find this tough.
Dudley - 2-0 win.
There's no further fire that's been added. It's pretty easy to pick the small minded people. We aren't worried about what's happening up top for us and we certainly aren't worried about other people's backyards and especially what some random bloke hiding behind a keyboard is saying. People are wasting their time talking about money. Need to come up with some better content eventually.
Really enjoying the season so far. You look at every fixture this weekend and they are all tough games.
Exactly who cares about squads or money the best thing is seeing this comp a much tighter affair then just a runaway pack. Doesn't matter who you have if you don't show up on the day !!!! Im quite enjoying the mix of results and games i've watched so far. Alot of the clubs would rival most of the nl1 comp so it's good to see
Firstly (for the thousandth time) Suns have never ever paid a single player and that includes this year. If any players are chasing coin, they best look for another club.
Secondly, the price of kebapi has thankfully remained stable. :yay: We look forward to serving many of you throughout the season!
We recruited a Goalkeeper and 2 Central Midfielders who hardly ever scored in NPL when they played in it so unless you want our new GK to start popping goals in it’s going to be our usual suspects in the Palozzi boys scoring our goals and don’t worry the goals will start coming soon
Round 5 Predictions
Cooks Hill 2 - 2 Azzurri
Azzurri can't score and Cooks can't defend.
Cardiff 3 - 1 Kotara
Tigers to 'outclass' Kotara on the worst pitch in the comp (the back field was better quality)
Mayfield 1 - 1 Bero
Bero to be the first to score against Mayfield but still share a point
Suns 3 - 0 Swansea
The Suns boys will thrive where they all played their junior football for another club
Dudley 3 - 1 WB
Homesick Thistles to thrive back playing on a sunday arvo

Round 5
Suns v Swansea
This should be a good game to very strong teams. Suns have got to click in attack soon but stopping goals has proven difficult. I got Suns clicking.
Suns 2-0
Cardiff v Kotara
Last years ‘premiers’ have found this season a whole lot tougher. Kotara with a good win last week. If Cardiff don’t get 3 points season over.
Cardiff 2-1
Mayfield v Bero
The green tigers yet to concede this year and Bero coming off the upset of the year.
Mayfield 2-0
Cooks Hill v Azzurri
Cooks Hill have been going ok but can’t stop letting in goals. Azzurri need the win and should be to good
Azzurri 3-1

Cardiff vs Kotara 1-2
Dudley vs Warners Bay 2-2
Cooks Hill vs Azzuri 1-4
Mayfield vs Bero 3-0
Suns vs Swansea 2-3
Suns vs Swansea
1st 4-1 (swans up 1-0 early, had golden opportunity to go 2-0 up from 3 yards. That miss sparked suns into life and it was one way traffic from there)
Res 5-1
3rds 1-0
Suns vs swans
Swans looked good early on knocked the ball around but just couldn’t take their chances. 2nd half suns come out strong and we’re clinical in front of goal, both keepers making some decent saves to.
4-1 probably isn’t a deserving score line of the game
Cooks Hill vs. Azzurri
First Grade 2-2
Reserves 1-0
Third Grade 1-0
First Grade played in good spirits and an entertaining watch from my view! Pity referee got conned by NF’s darlings into giving a genuinely ridiculous red card to Azzurri. Honestly hope the goalkeeper is okay as he fell very awkwardly, however it was lucky to be free kick let alone a red card. Cooks Hills players very poor attacking Azzurri player and surrounding the ref, as well as the far side linesman (a good 60 yards from the incident and also Cooks Hills coach btw) getting into the refs ear.
Funny you say that as I’ve spoken with a couple mates who play for cookers and they’ve said it was also a soft red card. What do you expect with these referees though? Cooks hill and hexham azzurri always seem to have decent encounters. also heard one of the coaches got sent off too, what’s the go there?
Mayfield v berro
Firsts 3-1 mayf
Readies 2-0 mayf
Thirds 2-1 mayf
On another day when both teams took their chances it could have been 9-3
Suns hit the post and then another one tipped onto the crossbar in first half. Suns some how passed it wide for the 6 yard line, missed a simple one on one from inside the box. There were numerous chances.
Suns keeper made some saves, but they would be expected to be made. Not sure if you were watching the same game or not.
cardiff v kotara
3rds 4-1
res 3-1
1st 6-1
