buds would of know if he was cleared or not. Only other club that would get away with this garbage is Magic
Chatting to committee about this topic over the last week i was told that a former (magic) player suspended as a result of accumulated cards last season did not get duly notified of his suspension (Magic didn't know where he was playing, and never attended preseason) and subsequently played against Magic (his first game for his new club) was therefore also an illegible played, anyways the game was a draw, result stood.
NNSWF to relook at rego/ suspension procedures for 2016... but all this negative publicity must be pretty frustrating for NNSWF. Instead of replacing the experienced people in the office that at least know most of the current rules, its obvious that they need help in overseeing the competitions now that it is a 7 team comp... i think the answer is more operations officers not replacing the ones we have.
P.S. Charlestown were relegated because there wasnt anyone wise enough inside the inner circle to tell them to understand the old saying "don't shit in the bed you sleep in"... Toronto and Lakes were 10X more diabolical in all factors inc. facilities, administration and results... but retained their position which leaves only 1 repose... They (Azzuri) really upset someone...
Surely there'll be no more wash outs this weekend
I wouldn't bet on it.
Weston is pretty good wet weather ground
Southy has stellar drainage and should be right.
The other 3 are a bit hit and miss.
Probably depend more on how much importance the appearance of the hallowed turf is placed by the clubs in the grand scheme of things.
Some seem to have far too much paranoia about the grass
Is it the clubs or the Council. Someone said Maitland were instructed to fix up their pitch by Council
There is no inner circle at azzurri, the club is run by one complete idiot and has got more than one person off side, he has the worse reputation of any one in the football fraternity, but the incompetence will continue until he and many others associated with the club look in the mirror for a very long time and see without their rose coloured glasses, the exact arsehole that every one else sees.
ask any person from any club in Newcastle and they will all tell you of a bad experience they have had with this fool.
Whether it was in poor condition is irrelevant. They actually played.
There is nowhere in the laws of the game that says the pitch must be well manicured and dry.
Every other serious football nation in the world plays in less than ideal conditions.
Why are we any different??
If games were called off in Europe for weather like they are here they would still be playing the 1889 season
Any scores from Adamstown
buds 2-0 without bates....
Maybe clubs should be thankful.
Watching 22's @ Maitland, and I know I'm being picky. But surely between the 3 refs at least 2 could wear the same kit. We're trying to raise the level of the competition, yet officials show up looking like a pack of Brown's cows. 3 refs and 3 different kits
CCB 1-0 penalty Magic missed one
Azzuri win 1-0 big result
