2013 Zone Premier League Thread

[leftrightout]

theres no first grade team out of place this year. And barnsley do look better then there points.but there Going to need a monster run home to make the top 4 though but goodluck.

The thing that makes it such a hard task for Barnsley already, is that the comp is so even through out.
There are no easy games, so to put on a few back to back wins is extremely difficult, from what ive seen.

I am sure it is possible and i think they can do it, they obviously just need to improve that extra little bit.

If it doesn't worry you then why make the stupid comment "I think their 3rd grade is stacked", I don't think Zpl can afford to have new lamb ton relegated having the best facilities in the comp

Who actually cares about facilities for zpl? we arent going to get huge crowds.

Save the ridiculous age criteria and understandable facilities criteria for nbn and newfm.


Let the zone leagues be run properly. People play in the grade they should be in. And teams are religated and promoted on performance and not how good there canteen is or if there ground is fenced off or what way the ****ing wind blows at there ground. All rubbish.

[idontwannaplaywithhowey]

the comp isnt 23s anymore its called ' third grade' were the worst 15 in the squad should be playing.

says in the rules you must name your 6 under23s and you only need 6.

just was thinking if any of those 23's are better then older blokes in reserves or firsts thats were they should be playing . but up to them. doesnt worry me !

they can Have the third grade title and get religated back to zone league 1 while there at it !

Not that we need to justify ourselves but every one of those players trialled to be in the u/23's side prior to it being changed to third grade.the decision of who plays in which grade is up to the coaches...2 players from that squad have already been promoted to reserve grade and throughout the season more will get their chance...but to say that the squad is stacked shows a real lack of knowledge about the difference in quality between u/23's through to first grade... And in any case, new lamb ton aren't running away with the comp by any stretch, and retro has pointed out cooks hill pushed them all the way, and university outplayed them on the weekend...so stacking hasn't occurred as our youth grade have a lot of work to do, which if they do, they will be successful.

i loosely used the word stacked.

i just ment any team that is a under23 side as aposed to 'third grade' should be stronger .


third grades have there bottom 15 in third grade. teams using it as under23's have players that are better then third grade standard but in there because there young.

im sure you get what i mean

really. well just ask the first grade coach were is hes team is on the table and maybe you guys deserve a bit of pitch since use are killing it.

then when he needs fillins for injuries just refuse to play up.

the 3 teams are supposed to be one squad. all supporting each other and helping each other.

dear fresh

They’re = they ****ing are.

Their = shows ****ing possession.

There = specifies a ****ing location.

You’re = you ****ing are.

Your = shows ****ing possession.

We’re = we ****ing are.

Were = past ****ing tense of “are”.

Where = specifies a ****ing location.

Than = a ****ing comparison.

Then = a point in ****ing time.

[idontwannaplaywithhowey]

Definitely not stacked, if anything our ''first grade'' coach puts shit on us and we always get the leftovers at the club the shit balls in training, the rough little bit of grass at the back of the field ****ing disgrace if you ask me.

Any grievance should be taken up with the club, not posted on a public forum...if you are involved with new lamb ton please show more respect to the club.

thanks for the English lesson .

[boz-monaut]

you clearly need it

take it as a friendly warning from your moderating team here at newcastlefootball.net

[front2]

Enough warning boz. Let the talking stay on the field. This ZPL competition is competitive in all three grades. The way it should be. Most of the viewers and posters know how to behave. To the limited spoilers... Do not be a gronk and spoil it for the good guys. Take note and this thread will stay online.

Any games actually going to get on tomorrow?

Any games actually going to get on tomorrow?

I believe there's a loose agreement if Cardiff is washed out tomorrow that the rounds will be swapped
and Cardiff v Cookers will be on Athfield Sunday. I'm liking this wind that's about though so hoping those
games get on.

Not sure about Barnsley's ground but Adamstown could be a bit touchy.

Col Curran and Lydon should be right by Sunday.
This BOM link floats my boat!

our ground at Barnsley can be touch and go...
we didnt train on it last night, we went to the gym instead, but that was without inspecting it
we will try to get a game on it as noone likes mid week games and lights arent the best
