A few handbags were thrown around with a player ending up going for a trip to hospital with an interesting injury I can't say I've seen or heard of before.Quote:

Firstly, like the other major injury that happened on the day, where one of our players who is a 5th year med student attended to the injury assessed, gave instruction etc, NLFC provided due diligence on the day for what was simply a freak accident that happened when two players were tangled up competing for the ball, and hit the deck, tangled up with each other. Nothing more than that an accident, which was clear to see on the day. Two yellows were given for the push and shove as a result, and the game went on as normal.
The bloke in question is a brilliant guy, and is understandably shattered that he's been caught up in this freak incident.
From him personally, and all at nlfc, we wish to extend our best wishes to the poor fella and hope for an easy recovery.
Same goes to the bloke who our med student thinks did his acl or something thereabouts. Another scary injury to have.
Hope for speedy recoveries for both.
and people wonder why we prepfer to go to watch zone league. Its the complete package

Keep an eye on forum and especially looked at it this week. Nothing much for days... Then comments come in. New Lambton respond. Nothing from any dudley players it appears.
I will point out that I am involved with a zone league 3 club (Not New Lambton or Dudley so one of the other 7) and was present at weekends final game.
First of all what a terrible game of football, had a mate up from sydney he wasnt impressed at all. Crap pitch, looked like a cricket pitch.
Game was physical, big hit from the dudley guy shook the cage of New Lambton guy and stirred up the game. The NL coach sent after spraying ref, carried on like mouriniho.
Dudley didnt do much all game, New lambton got better as game went on. Dudley looked rattled when they started loosing players.New lambton finished well.
Couldnt see incident that well from my position but New Lambton player appeared to have hands all over dudley guy. Probably not wise to pull objects below the shirt. Dudley players reaction and resulting reported injury highlight some considerable contact.
Could have got ugly with one guy from New lambton sprinting to get involved in push and shove.
Has anything come of incident?
Whatever the case, Im due to work saturday. Hopefully i can get away early to watch replay. Tie is over anyway New Lambton are in gf for sure. Wallsend will make the final, been the best team all year? Did they loose a game?
Riverboy, great post and good comments from a neutral. Spot on on game summary. There is no comment on the "accidently grabbed your cock and almost ripped it off" ridiculous post from nlfc. This forum is for banter, results and general discussion. My response to the "incident" is not for here considering the sickening and serious nature.
Dudley bt Wallsend 7-4 in first round and i think all top 3 beat each other thru the year. Don't count ur chickens tho, Although a difficult task Dudley will play with the belief they can get the 4 back.
One thing I guarentee, dudley are turning up to play football this weekend and will NOT get involved in any shenanigans on the pitch. Although this is entry level division we are all about becoming a professional club with aspirations to promotion, you dont get there by retaliating to what happened last week. Good luck to all finals teams in the 2nd leg.
For the sake of the game it would be good if dudley scored a couple early to set up a good tie. But all New Lambton need to score is one and Dudley require six, very unlikely but you said they put 7 past wallsend so possible. Dudley were fragile at the back last week. We will see.Quote:

New Lambton are a well set-up club, some really good blokes. There are one or two that carry on a bit and are in the ear of refs . the gaffer is a goose. But as results show he must be doing somethings right.
My prediction dudley 3-2
Wow.... :wtf:
Bit Shocked, we played both teams and NL were a very professional side (most pro side in the league IMO) and Dudley our arch rivals played hard but never nasty was always a good game.
Hope the guy is OK and this won't ruin Game 2.
Question for all teams in this comp, how did you guys go for commitment at training and games and how much support and backing do u get from club committee. Been involved with my club for over 10 years we numbers to training are on the poor side and support from club is minimal at best and results have shown over past few years, basically just trying to work out if I'm expecting too much from players and club we averaged less then 15 per session over the year I'd say
Our club lacked numbers at training, 2 nights a week, made mandatory 1 night to try and get the boys to make it, never got more than half the squad together on any one night.Quote:

Although hard to distinguish between the clubs who are there to try their best and be promoted, and the teams who enjoy playing at the same time each week then go back to the pub...
Committee is on board as they need somewhere for their u18s to go who don't want to play All Age.
Very true. Goals can flow Riverboy. I saw Mayfield ZPL put 16 past a side in the FFA Cup!!! I question that some of these posts are neutral. They smell like Dudley stirring to me. Sounds like they went to pick a fight at Alder and went home literally with their hands down their pants outplayed and 4-0 behind. I hear the NL coach was marched and today suspended for the return leg? He always was a hothead but surprising me as a coach. Wallsend v NL GF. Tight. Maybe extra time. Wallsend for me 3-2. Edgeworth big movers in 2016.Quote:

All the best to the Team's that make the Grand Finals.
17? And you actually confirm losing by 17?? And I am the dickhead? Never lost any game by 17 pal, nor has that goose of a coach who would lap this Dudley team on his own back in the day. For the record I was there today, Dudley almost stole it but NL did what they had to in the end minus the goose who was miles away on the phone. If anyone is trotting off to MF to complain again on Mon, Dudley players and supporters were filth. A disgrace to the club. As for the clown who threw the slap, if you are going to throw one son, make it worthwhile. Enjoy the red. Maybe MF might not action that suspension as quick as the NL one? Wallsend favourites still but both deserve credit year 1. Dudley can enjoy mad monday or I am guessing reserved forum blogging Tuesday. Who cares, good riddance.Quote:

To dudley. I was present at last weeks game. You were poor, outplayed, and to be honest new lambton ****ed up by the actions of the coach and the players which overshadowed their win. But to show the credit to level the game showed true character. To watch no 8 score the goal which ended you when he should have been red carded last week for 3rd man in was a kick in the teeth but unlucky. You play your hand.
To new lambton. Geez i hope you have something better than that for next week. I was present to hear some of your supporters(not sure if players of fans) say that you still looking for promotion. Based on that zpl3 suits you. But good to see you hold some credit without your gaffer.
Either way, will relish the chance to play against wallsend and maybe others next year.
I will attend the grand final next week to judge our opposition but from what ive seen today wallsend (if they make it) will demolish this team from new lambton
A true neutral geemo? Interesting considering five of your six posts are about casually watching a Dudley game. Your sixth is asking a Dudley player about a result. Just a fan I imagine?
Anyway, personally knowing the new Lambton blokes, they are lovely fellas, and I hope they aren't taking a bunch of Dudley fake accounts talking to themselves seriously. 'Pierre Essers' was a neutral yesterday too, this afternoon backs Dudley. Mucked up the logins boys?
atleast all men today finished with a sac full of balls, & that's what really matters. Goodluck to the teams in the grand finals
hows the audacity?!?
Yep, 17, shows how far we have progressed this year. Fans/ players filth??? Ur kidding dickhead! For all interested the game today was played in good spirit and if nl cant handle crowd banter in the light of recent events then too bad. King is just an arm chair critic and if half as good as his ego then he would be playing. Granted, the goose gaffer might be a good player but was he not red carded last night in o:35? Dickhead! I have no doubt nl have inside contacts and they were already promoted before the season commenced, wait and see. Ooh conspiracy theory.As for recent neutral comments, well they are. I know the posters from dudley and these guys r not associated. NL cant deal with the truth being put out there. Piss poor NL playing arguably the best player in the comp in res grade, grow some balls. NL "pulled" together today and did just enough. Oh yeah, King, ur a dickhead! Saw u standing there today on ur own, even the players want nothing to do with you.
On the match great day of football in both grades. Well done to NL making the gf in both grades, it is a remarkable effort 1st yr in. Edgie res unlucky but a young team and will do well in coming yrs.
I support whoever pays me to play.Quote:

:popcorn:
Congradulations to New Lambton on getting through to final. I didnt make it to the game as i was stuck at work. It sounded like a good game.
Im sure NL player from last weekends incident received some special attention???
Given the result yesterday its hard to see NL beating Wallsend (providing they get through).
Are NL seeking promotion? I early post may be right, Edgeworth big improvers next year.
Semi Final 2 @ The Gardens
Ressies: Wallsend 1 v 2 Kahibah - Wallsend through 4-3 on aggregate.
1st Grade: Wallsend 1 v 7 RAAF
RAAF through 8-4 on aggregate.
RAAF up 2-1 at half time. Second half they took all chances that fell there way. It just wasnt our day. Congrats to RAAF they wanted it and took it. Big effort to our boys though. Down about 10 players all up. Including 4 starting 1st graders.
Thanks to all teams this year. Good luck in the GF for the teams that made it.

Well done to raaf, fantastic effort. I do feel sorry for wallsend. They have struggled for numbers all year more so then most. To get minors in both grades is a major achievement and regardless what happened yesterday thet were the best team this year.Quote:

Well done to dudley for the game they put together on saturday. So close especially at 5-1, but as #8 has showed before. He came up with the goods when it counted. It would have been handy to have leading goalscorer available.
Just to set record straight. I didnt see any great dramas with crowd. King, your comments are not accurate and unwarranted. Sure there was some banter from both sets of supporters, but none of it crossed any boundries. It obvious that king is either is a new lambton player or close to the camp, so any comments arnt helpful to the New Lambton club in general.
I feel there is some anger from some at New Lambton after the game at Alder park. We stand by our clubs actions, they have the right to look after our players welfare and the integrity of the game itself. Enough said.
As for New Lambton coach, There is no doubting that the guy can coach. He might have been a good player in his day, but everybody is accountable for their actions. He clearly didnt meet his obligations on that day.
Anyway all the best to both teams next weekend. Hopefully games in the future can be incident free.
Great season boys...
Thanks to everyone that hosted Kahibah at their ground.
Good Luck to those in the Finals.
:thumbsup:
Congrats to all teams in the Finals!
Great to see a 3rd vs 4th final in firsts, shows anyone can win on a certain day.
Unlucky to Wallsend, showed up all year to fall short at the wrong time, Great effort to claim the minor but.
I wouldn't say they fell short of anything, Wallsend got top spot and get all the rewards that come with being the best. The GF whilst being a great spectical means very little. 3rd and 4th are now playing for a consolation prize.Quote:

Predictions for this weekends games:
First grade 4-3 RAAF
Reserve grade 2-0 Wallsend
Grand Final @ Westy
1st Grade: 2 - 0 New Lambton
Ressies: 1-0 Wallsend
congrats to both teams for taking out the final, job well done must say though new lambton ressies was a totally different line up from last week in 2 leg just goes to show if u stack your team with 1st graders how different the out come is, i feel sorry for every team that come up against a stacked new lambton ressie teamQuote:

Thanks to RAAF for what was (maybe not for the neutral) a fantastic game. We scored two early and then sat behind the ball - it worked for us but luck was definitely on our side. Great bunch of lads and NLFC would like to wish them success in whichever league they end up in next year.
As for the post above, there was one change to our starting lineup from the previous week. But i suppose you would be bitter if you were hanging out on a forum on grand final night and not out celebrating ;)
Congrats to all clubs on your years this year, it was our first in Zone League football and despite the ups and downs and barbs thrown around we have thoroughly enjoyed it, it was well contested in both grades and the quality was there to see. Wherever we all end up next year, this season has been left on the pitch from NLFCZL perspective and we wish all the clubs luck for the future.
Who to watch in 2016? For me personally it is Edgeworth and Kahibah. There is some young talent in those squads and no amount of recruitment can match growing potential that these clubs have. Good bunch of blokes too.
