Calling our boys (Wallsend) efforts "pathetic really" (ZICO) and "lacking pride" (MKFS) is something I will not let fly. The guys played on Sunday and coming to Magic Park on a Tuesday night was always going to be a tough day at the office. Up until the 65th minute it was 3-0, that's where Magics bye on the weekend would have came in handy, they were well rested, fitter, sharper and moved the ball around very well, constantly attacking. We were simply outclassed by a very good team (starting 11: Mackenzie, Foteff, Paddington, Griffiths, L. Virgili, Kantarovski, Hoole, Bradbery, J. Virgili, Pettit, Fajkovic). A well rested top team in the division above ours with a player budget x4 ours should always do well.
We had a 17yr old make his 1st grade debut in right back and played the full game, and also a 16 year old who played 33mins up front running against the likes of Piddo. Both of these young fellas will always remember the time they played at Magic Park against Broadmeadow Magic in a Cup game. I'm proud of the boys, their efforts and this great club.
Not once in any of either MKFS or ZICOs posts did either of you say anything positive about the performance of the club you apparently support.
If either of you would like to pass on some of your football genius to us here at Wallsend, my names Dan, my details are easy to find, and I'm always open to advice and assistance on what we can be doing better here.
All the best for the FFA Cup and the NPL Broadmeadow Magic, you were great hosts, the facilities were top touch and you made us feel very welcome.
Sorry for the rant everyone.
