'Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.' – Bill Shankly
No need to change the quote Titan anyone who respects Shankly is tops in my book.
@ Ranger if by chance you genuinely don't know the quote, it was said by Bill Shankly (former Liverpool F.C manager) there is confusion as to when he first said it but most people will refer to when he said it in response to a report that ask him about how some people see football as a matter of life and death. As to the man himself he is probably the single biggest figure of LFC history and the famous gates you walk threw to get into Anfield and are prominent on mondern day LFC crest are called the Shankly gates as you walk into Anfield the 1st thing you see is a massive bronze statue of the man himself. Hope that clarifies it for you
Cheers Premy good bit of info to share LFC, might have to do a bit of googling and learn some more!
fair assessment of the game, wouldve taken a draw considering we had a couple out but on the day we went in with a game plan and a few experienced players really held it together
Apologies for the cold showers, we have asked/told council a number of times to fix the hot water, expected completion date round 17... 2015
Yeah again we were missing players story of our season lucky we are where we are with new guys and other players returning this week,
Yeah few of the boys were shattered with the cold showers haha
Wallsend V Bero tonight at the Gardens
Ressies @ 6:15
Firsts @ 8
How were the legs holding from saturdays muddy match?
were the Beresfield fresh from no game on the weekend? have players out?
The legs were fine from Saturday, although they might not be so fine after last night's game.
For the first 2 and half minutes, Berro looked
a decent team....then the tackles started flying. Tackles from behind, from the side and then off the ball mug shots. Worst disciplined side I have seen for a long time, and that's including Azzuri's state league side.
Full credit to our boys though for keeping heads and playing fluent passing football which made Berro look silly. 5-0 at half time, foul count 4796-2.
Gosh, wasnt the pitch soft/heavy on Saturday? Most of us pulled up fine after the three day recovery though. I wouldn't exactly call the game free-flowing either. The guy who was most puffed was probably the referee, from having to blow his whistle constantly.
To reinforce the above comment: My guess is that any of their decent players are suspended due wracking up seventy billion yellow cards. Some (most) of the challenges were late and deplorable, and intentionally so.
They dont have much of a presence on here, I think. Most teams will be happy to outplay the shit out of them and move on with their lives.
I'll back Morri to take points from them second round. You lost out at Pasadena, but its always tough on their futsal pitch. Use your quick blokes high-and-wide to out-flank their mostly horrible D. Their wide mids have some speed, so you'll have to find a way in behind them by running off the strikers - who should come to feet and play from there.
From memory, you have some quality in the middle. They'll come flying in at you if you hold it up. Push it past them, take the knock and get a foul. They will then get angsty, bitch and moan and call you soft, but you'll be in a better playing position for it.
So pretty much beros way is if we are not good enough just kick? And if we are good enough kick anyways? Hahaha
Why say that to bring it up and make it worst? Have you not read the arguments in the NBN thread about the Greeks and Macedonia?
Speaking from my point of view I being from Beresfield would rather not come on here and get caught up with half the shit you blokes go on with
Also dont like getting kicked so what? its part of the game you get kicked and get back up again, wonder why everyone gives this sport a bad name about being pussies
Harden the **** up
Fire up Beroooooo!

Not sure what game you where watching mitchy , the Wallsend boys gave it back twice as hard and the Bero players reverted to taking players out off the ball , No 4 was a special for it , you talk about giving the game a bad name , when you turn up to play like that , it's not even considered football , 5 yellow and 8-0 later , maybe a different approach is needed
Ladies and Gentlemen, Beresfield United! I hope you enjoyed the show.
1. I have not read the NBN thread
2. Apart from a few trolls and fishermen on here, there is a surprising amount you can learn about football and the competition through these discussions. Obviously, the ability for Beresfield to discuss the game is about on par with their ability to play it (nada).
3.We did get kicked, we did get back up, and we embarassed you in the process. There is a difference between playing a hard, fair game to taking players out off the ball and intentionally targeting players. I suggest you go and watch a few Bay/Suns (amonst others') games. Those boys will play a physical brand of football, but can also put a passage of play together.
And yes. Fire up Berro. Fire up for the season that never was.
*stands up and applauds*
Don't even play for bero hey, just close to some of the boys
Didn't watch the game last night was to busy training for my NBN club
You's took the bait easy, I mean why am I in the division 4 thread
Cya's in NBN.. Whoops
