This weeks picks
Stocko v dungog - stocko
Bero v cooks hill - bero
Kurri v Toronto - kurri
Mayfield v Simba - Simba
Going for the same picks there roosta. Should be a tough trip up to dungog. Also other games see good match ups too. Cooks hill will bounce back from a loss. Will be interesting if toronto field a full side. And mayf always seem to play well against simba for some reason and surely they'll be desperate for a win as their season seems to already be slipping away
Rooster is that 1st grade keeper back that played against us in the 1st round? He had a pretty bad gash on his leg. He is a gun keeper! Some of those saves he made blew me away
Yeah he is back he only missed the dungog game cause he went away but he got 3 stitches in his knee I think but was right again for the bero game
And he is a freak with some of the saves he pulls out he makes at least one every game that could be played on tv lol
That's good then. It looked pretty bad from where I saw it from. Yeah mate made a Dave against us that would have made some a-league keepers stand up and watch
you wish somebody would blow you every now and then old man
Jaliens gives me the horn
**** up!

Must say being an old Dungog coach/player and seeing all the banter on this thread well done boys.
Great work dungog. First goal was marginally offside but had an unofficial linesman and hard call to make. Dungog deserved something for the first half. Second half we were on top but no where near the standard we shoulda been playing. Really terrible field and dungog being so used to it scrapped well and got us on the counter. Had a massive penalty decision given then reversed after communicating with his unofficial linesman again. I must say in my view we were dragged down with a sliding tackle from behind and even tho he got ball he still made contact and when u slide in from behind its a free straight away. Anyway sorry for the rant but then he blew a free to dungog!! If he got ball then surely that's a corner. We threw everything at dungog and poor pitch combined with AJ at the back and scrapping well dungog were too good. Great game played in good spirits. We were extremely poor but dungog had a game plan and beat us in the arm wrestle. Congrats guys and makes this comp all that more interesting. Ps BJ don't claim shot it was a clearancehaha
Hàha I kid you not it was a shot. Ref had said less then a minute! So it was hit it and if it went over then you guys wouldn't get it back up in time, unfortunately from 50 out it hit the cross bar lol.Great work dungog.

Definitely wasn't a dottie, all ball and you said it was from behind. The guy who's hand you tried shaking thanking him because you thought you had a dottie, didn't even make the tackle lol, he was behind you
, the CB came across and covered!
Either way we had a game plan like you said and stuck with it. We were not good either but probably had thst more urgency,nothing like the Simba performance. But must say entertaining game and played in good spirits.
Must also say the ref performance was the best we have had this year.
And the field was unfortunate, they had it the best I had ever seen but the wet rd 2 wkd completely screwed it up and it's back to the field standard of last year.
Also would like to congratulate every player (juniors and seniors) who wore a pink head band to support Breast Cancer awareness! Near 150 handed out!
Like I said mate only a joke. I know it was a shot. Ps I think u should look at the rules. If u slide in from behind no matter whether u get ball or not it's a
Free straight up. It has changed this year. Admittedly he got ball but also half of my leg which is a straight pen. Also if u all it a fair tackle then it is a clear corner which the ref also missed. Not making excuses but easy to say ref was awesome when you were on the side of a very clear free kick account. Having a talk to the ref after the game it was clear
As day he had nooo idea of the game. No disrespect to dungog but some of the questions I asked him I got the most idiotic responses I have ever received.
Two good tough games of football. Ressies- Cooks Hill far too good.
Firsts was pretty even pretty devoed to drop 2 points with 3 mins to go.
All this overshadowed by the events off the field in my opinion. We rock up to be told that our change room is a damountable building that has no power/lights or the women's toilet.
We then get told that there is no referee so what do we want to do about it? My understanding is that it'd be an unwritten rule that if we have no refs that the home team organises the refereeing. That's certainly how we'll be doing at Beresfield. After being told that they didn't have anyone, our 55 year old manager stepped up and did it, but not before being told that he'd have to referee the first 20 mins without a whistle. He asks for Cooks Hill to offer two linesmen of which one takes the line nearest to the benches and we get told by them to get one of our first graders to run the other as they didn't want there's out there. Ended up with 2 linesman and Cooks Hill win comfortably.
On to first grade, Cooks Hill find a bloke to referee but doesn't have a watch so someone on their bench presumably has a timepiece. So about 5 minutes in we realise that their reserve grade team pretty much get dressed and come back out and sit on the bench with their coach and substitutes and drink beer with their first grade coach while he coaches, which in my years of football I've never seen and to me it looks amateurish. I'm all for a beer as some guys on here would know but seriously that looks ridiculous. And frustrating as I'm trying to see the game and there's 10-15 blokes standing on the line. Then all of a sudden some woman presumably from out of the crowd just trots out to stand on the halfway flag post, drinking wine and chatting away to the Cooks Hill bench, I personally didn't see a duty officer in sight but I might've missed them. What tops the day off was our timekeeper from the Cooks Hill bench didn't know/wasn't told that first grade is 45 mins a half so we played 40's.
Now I don't know if I'm being a whinger but in my opinion we need to get rid of that shit from our game. And I don't know if you're directly involved Retro Jet but if it was me I'd be having a word with the organisation down there because that just isn't good enough.

I'm well aware of the rules/ changes. All I'm saying is the CB came from the side and slide in, and I believe he gave the free for yells towards the ref. Doesn't sound very good at all namwob! They are supposed to supply the referees and yes their changer rooms ( women's toilets ) are terrible, no room to even get ready, enough seats for like half the team at most.
Simba v mayfield ???
I went and watched cooks hill v Bero today and i'm not a member of either club.
In my opinion, Bero deserved to loose both grades. They lost reserves and fairly, and in first grade cooks hill was the better team 70% of the match and conceded two goals to a back pass and practically an own goal.
as for the off field events, I agree to some in some regards and in other I don't..
As a previous administrator at another club, I can emphasise with Cooks Hill over the demountable. The "Away Sheds" are not large enough or something so they had to bring in an extra demountable for the use of the away team. before criticism is thrown, can anyone think of a better solution?
The referee situation is unfortunate for all involved, My understanding is the referee pool has dropped from somewhere around 150 to close to 80. I'm sure cooks hills games are all registered with the federation and therefore if a referee is not appointed it is unfortunate but unavoidable. It is the home teams responsibility to organise officials but at this level (where referees are appointed only if all other grades are filled) I feel abit of sportsman ship is in order. Yes your 55 year old manager did the centre but my understanding was cooks hill organised linesman (Yes, all 4 linesman today came from cooks hill it seems, despite your instance they refused) for both games plus a centre for firsts at short notice? surely you can't be upset when your asked to contribute that much?
AS for the first grade referee, certainly i agree that there is no excuse for taking on the role without a watch, as referee you are sole time keeper and that is disgraceful. If Cooks Hills was at fault I am unsure and if so certainly needs addressing.
As for your last point about drinking on the side lines, Obviously this is never acceptable and cooks hill needs to better handle their bench.
I will however finish by saying that this is ZL3 and in this grade referees are not guaranteed at any ground and every team should be willing to help out where ever possible to fill the gaps, both away and at home. As for the beers thing, lets be realistic, you guys play 6th division in Newcastle and the social aspect of the game should well and turely be encouraged. However i agree with Nanwob99 when he says drinking on the bench with fans and players alike is not on. the technical; area should be respected
