2024 NPL Men's

[ForeverRed]

What I saw was 2 players converging on the ball at the same time. One tries to pull out at last second to minimise contact, very little contact occurs. Other went down way too easily. Suggestions by some as studs up must have been difficult for him from a upright position and virtually stationary at point of contact. Certainly Azzuri player quickly recovered from life threatening injury.
And none of the Azzuri players seemed concerned about the incident or injury, as is the norm when a player is so violently assaulted. Unless of course he wasn't very popular amongst his team mates.

What a load of dribble

[Devon Sangas]

Ref made his decision. Move on. Looked like it was pretty reckless on bartv. The following homophobic slurs are abhorrent and need to be stamped out of our game. Absolutely no need for that kind of behaviour at any level. Decent crowd at Azzurri and an entertaining game.

[outsider]

Have to agree, red card any day of the week. Gone over the ball, studs into the shin.

Pretty poor form from the New Lambton supporter in the stands who clearly called Nigel Boogaard a homophopic name twice in the minutes after the red card. Does NNSWs referee abuse crackdown also mean they are going to crackdown on dickh#ds line him? The fact that fellow supporters all laughed at his comment means it wouldn't be hard to track him down.

That is up to the duty officers or club officials to control-spectators can be banned for crap like that

Wonder if New Lambton have or will take any action?

I guess I can't argue with that wonderful, factually proved and eloquently expressed counter argument.

Have a think about what you said though, honestly

[W8 WATCHER]

some big scores predicted for 1st round.

Magic 6 - 0 Adamstown
Edgeworth 1 - 3 Weston
Maitland 3 - 2 Valentine
Cooks Hill 1 - 3 Olympic
Lakes 0 - 6 Jaffas
Azzurri 5 - 0 New Lambton

poor predictions on my behalf.
i will run with big scores again this week. IT WILL HAPPEN

to be honest though, probably some of the worst football i have seen for a while, Valo and Olympic probably the better

[Thomas477]

Nah, pretty clearly a soft tackle, should’ve been a caution for diving.

agree. Sick n tired of people disparaging foot stools.

That tackle pic looks nasty but also seen similar tackles let go. Cant imagine Boogs stays down if It didnt connect.

Anyway NL did ok and couldve got a point if young mate didnt make that tackle.

not sent. worse tackle.

[anfield]

I don't understand the debate. That's a red card challenge, move on.

Interesting screen shot, but if you show next shot you see him and his leg moving away from Charlestown players leg, not pushing through. Leg was up as both players played at ball at the same time. If he was coming in studs up he wouldn't still be stationary, standing upright on that same spot, after the minimal contact was made. Bet you won't show next screen shots, or even the shots leading up as well.

Note everyone, don't confuse that second screenshot from a different game to what we are discussing.

No I won’t because I don’t have the time or care to help teach fools on the internet about the laws of the game. You’re obviously either a New Lambton supporter, have no idea on the laws of the game or both. Jog on champ.

[Aegon]

This conversation just shows why NNSW had to implement the zero tolerance towards match official abuse initiative.

Everyone on the sideline is an expert and allows referees zero margin for error.

Why aren't we discussing the 100 individual player errors that happened in the same game? (I'm not saying the decision was an error FYI)

And it would prove my point. But glad you get so upset about people having different viewpoints, bit of a trend these days. As for both teams and players, I care little.
