Absolutely not, lakes should not change what they are doing, it was only a few years ago lakes were on the other end of double digits and since I was there I can tell you NO other club changed the rules for them - there was at least one game we had to continue without a goalkeeper because of the poor form of kicking him in the head after the whistle had gone, and there was no holding back then from said club.Originally Posted by Izzy
What Wallsend should take away from this is that 4 years ago this was the position that lakes were in and now they have 13s coming through and playing in Div 1 grand finals.
While I am all for modesty in situations like this and not celebrating like wild animals when scorelines get out of hand I will also not forget how many players thought they had the right to tell my kid that he didn't deserve to play NPL because he was playing at lakes - most of the players who thought they were better and acted as such are no longer playing football 4 years later.
Should they have been put against lakes? that was probably an oversight in a club trying to rebuild. If everyone provides feedback to northern then maybe it can be looked at for next time around. But to insinuate lakes should behave differently then any other club would is ridiculous.
