I didn't mean for this to come across in a bad way about Bero. I'm sure whoever and wherever it was hosted, that club/s would do their very best job.
My main points that I was responding to were the fact that someone said the ZPL GF shouldn't be at a NPL ground..
Secondly, that because the Suns might not make the finals in first grade, they shouldn't have the rights to host the GF..
I seriously can't understand why there would be any serious complaints that the GF is being played at Magic Park..
It's football, not s***er!!
Anyway...
Any predictions for the weekend?
Saturday is promotion day..
N Bay v Bero - Dolphin Messenger seems to think N Bay will park the bus to ruin Bero's hopes of finishing first. I know if I was playing for N Bay I'd be chasing the win so that I could play finals football! I still think Bero will come out on top in this one. (Bero 2+)
Westlakes v Suburbs - Lakes with next to nothing to play for after Morissets win last week moved them 3 points clear with a much better GD. Suburbs will win comfortably here hoping that Bero drop points at the bay. (Suburbs 4+)
Morisset v Jesmond - Pretty much a dead rubber. Morisset can't advance higher up the ladder and Jesmond will be looking for a good performance going into the finals - unless they're wanting to rest players and keep them fit and save the trip out there.. (Jesmond in a close one)
'Potential' 4th place play-off
Kotara v Suns - The results on Saturday could impact the mood in first grade here.. A N Bay win rules both these guys out. A draw or Bero win opens the door for either team to take 4th place. Kotara in the box seat here and can afford to even lose this game and take 4th. Suns must win by 2 goals or more to take 4th. hopefully the rain stays away and then depending on the Saturday results, a big day on sunday!

No complaints from me about the gf at magic park hopefully we can make the gf....love playing there
Fair amount of rain last night.. I'd say Nesbit is looking pretty soft this morning
Huge weekend of games to finish the regular season..
Obviously us Gardo boys are looking to beat Westlakes and can only hope that Nelso can get Bero to drop some points (of which a win for Nelso can secure them a semis spot).. If we win, but Bero still win, then that will be the third year in a row that we have come second by a single, solitary point..
Very interesting that the minor premiership will be decided on Saturday, I imagine there will be a lot of texts or checks to the foz for results on Sat arvo..
Mo-town will be looking to spoil Jesmond's finish to the season even though Jezzo will definitely get third or fourth..
While Kotara vs Suns is going to be a cracker of a match out at Nesbitt, Suns will be hurting a bit after their loss last week but are techincally still able to pinch 4th spot depending on goals and other results..
Good luck to all teams, bring on the weekend!!
PREDICTED SUNDAY WEATHER
On Sunday, the deluge unleashes on the east coast as the low moves towards it. If you live between southeast QLD and Victoria’s East Gippsland, now is time to get the washing and gardening done or stock up on your DVDs and board games as Sunday will be a super soaker. Widespread falls of at least 25mm and as much as 100mm are forecast for some parts of the coast between Port Macquarie and the Gold Coast. Brisbane and Sydney are likely to see their heaviest rain in at least five months.
what happens if we cant play sunday at Kotara??
I think it will then be rescheduled mid-week - although that won't leave much room for error if there is more rain following sunday.. I don't think the ressies and thirds fixtures would need to be played as they won't have a bearing on the ladder..
Could the game be brought forward to Saturday?
It's football, not s***er!!
Burbs vs westlakes
3rds 3-0
Res 4-1
N Bay v Bero
0-1 Danny Bird header 15 mins in
The only bus parked is Beros in the car park. All Bero, the bay keeper saving 4 to 5 solid chances
Nelson Bay player sent Danny Burt was scorer after realising from the tinnies
Always going to be a tough one for N Bay in these circumstances with bero chasing promotion. What happened in other grades?
It's football, not s***er!!
BERO 2
BAY 0
bay held tight at the back, defended very well, but never looked like scoring. credit to the rest if the team holding their shape when old mate got sent. big celebrations tonight, then back to business next week at training. good luck to everyone else tomorrow.
