Get your point but they are not above criticism.
Spot on Thomas477-only none of them have the balls to do that and actually referee a game-easiest thing to do is referee from the sidelines and make uninformed comments.
I’m actually not having a go at the referee, more the way he was swarmed by CH players and club officials. Isn’t that supposed to be not on?
Anyway it was a decent game of football to watch in the end. The standard across the league has been extremely good this year from what I have seen and ZPL is a cracking competition.

How do you know the rules and current interpretations if you haven’t done the course?
gtg, I agree, however the criticism both on and off the field is ridiculous. Take the hand ball rule, we as refs know it’s ****ing stupid, but we need to enforce the laws as written this year.
Salmon, I agree it’s not on, but why point the finger at the ref and not cooks hill? Adults act like children when they get onto the field.
Also, there’s a course next Sunday, info is here: https://northernnswfootball.com.au/r...-course-dates/
Middleby Gone
Lawrie Out
The way I read it Salmon wasn’t taking aim at the ref but the Cookers players and officials maybe I’m not seeing it right.
Some of these incidents can be born out of the way the match days are run. Yesterday in ressies two young kids playing on the bench all game, duty officer drinking in with the supporters and a first grade reserve having to run the line while there are numerous guys standing around offering advice to the match officials.
Any results from today?
Dudley Vs WBay
3rds 3-2
Res 2-1
1st 3-0
Hope the 2 Dudley played that had a head clash and split each other are ok. It looked nasty. Bay just couldn’t break Dudley down at all.
Dudley will no doubt give Swansea a touch up next weekend I dare say
Weekend Conclusions -
Ex coach of Kotara will be at work today with the biggest grin on his face and wearing a badge saying "I told you it was the players".
Mayfield finally have their cherry popped and concede.
If Cook Hill first grade had won that would have meant all home teams would have collected 9 points.
Dudley play like Man City on a Sunday and the Jets on Saturday.
The big bucks signings turn it on at Myers Park and smash a declining Swansea.
First grade is where the action was this week with 23 goals.
Plenty of banter, a few beers and I hope everyone enjoyed. God bless ZPL.
