By the team we play our next game, it will have been about a month since we were on the field. Eats balls. Some teams may even catch us with tired legs, seeing as game time is priceless in regard to match fitness. A month. Balls.
Spanking Westlakes at their home ground feels so long ago...........
did anyone actually get to play this weekend?
Neither team played in a while but Jesmond taking nothing home from Medowie with 2-1 then 3-1 losses. Reggies woeful game that I can only comment on half of. We are now facing uphill battle for top four.
Firsts. 0-1 down when got exposed at the back on the counter, 1-1 on stroke of h/t with a perfect cross headed home. Second half saw a long range range free kick appear to get a deflection then a sub got their 3rd late on with almost his first touch - header into top corner that was either very fortunate or clinical. At that stage we had 10 men.
Onto the send off, deserved for ill discipline. Didn't need our player confronted on way off by Medowie sideline experts. Push and shove then ensued between many which culminated in a fight between Medowie player and their own fans. Apparently getting into that fight only warranted a yellow. Nice touch a couple of first graders actually apologising for their fans. That apology is all that needs to be said on the men and women in question.
Touching back to referee. Tad whistle happy but fair and no complaints. Touchy good too. Unofficial linesman clueless but not to blame. No wingeing either on personnel as had only one of top 15 unavailable.
Couldn't get our game going and that together with some defensive errors this is what happens. Well done Medowie.
I said after our 2-2 draw at Medowie earlier in the season that I don't believe Medowie are a very strong team, but they play a style of football that doesn't allow the better teams to get any rhythm and the trigger happy resident referee doesn't help this either. That coupled with a handy striker with a decent bit of pace, a physical presence and a decent finish and I always expected more teams to lose points up there. Their fans really make themselves known as well, we had a similar incident which resulted in one of their fans coming on the pitch to confront our keeper tinny in hand and all, whilst the ground official stood and laughed about it. All was forgiven at the end of the game but when they shouted our keeper a beer, he had and absolute blinder that day. After being 2-0 down at half time but and bringing it back to 2-2 we definitely counted that as a point gained not two lost and were happy to get back to the brook and not need to go back to Medowie again. It's a hard place to go and take points and credit to Medowie for making it that way. Will see how they are on the travel but.Originally Posted by ramsbelong@jesmondpark
Tenambit are away to Olympic tonight in a brought forward game from the upcoming weekend.
I must admit I am pretty keen to get on the park (last game was a midweek game at home to westlakes which seems soo long ago and Saturday was our first onfield training session in over a month close to two) even tho I may be in for a tough night in goals as when we last played our res was done 6-1. But really looking forward to the challenge.

Two good competitive games played in good spirit (some usual in game heat but nothing over the top) with what I would say the best group of refs iv had all year (and I dnt say that litely).
If I'm thinking of the same decision u are. That was a free kick aagainst me just out side the box. There will be differing opinions as there always are but there was no intention from me to tale him out I was running back to try and cover and when he cut across in front of me we got collided as would be the case in a situation like that. If I was shown a yellow I would have been annoyed but accepted it. But there wasn't much I could do to avoid the collision. But that's what u get when u put the res keeper on the field . lol
As I said I would have accepted a yellow . And I wasn't blowing up about the foul in the game either. And if I was last man I would have had to accept the red if given but I think there was my cb inside me who was last man prob saving the ref from making that call. Il be telling my coach from now on if I'm ever back on the park its up front or Il just stay in goals.
Firstly, you should change your username to something less confrontational.
Secondly, I'm pretty sure fifa law does not use the words "last man" anywhere. If I'm correct, it states that a player will be red carded for conceding a free kick or penalty when the opposition was running towards goal and was denied an obvious goalscoring opportunity.
Thirdly, it's all about context and bias in the end. You'll probably stay on sharkies case about this incident (I didn't see it btw), but I'm sure no one in the world could convince you that when westlakes played olympic on the night game there was a "last-man" challenge by olympic that deserved a red and wasnt given. So just keep it real homey
And finally - don't attack people or refs for their physical appearance. Very uncool and they can't exactly change that
Why does it not suprise me that this muppet is representing olympic
Calm down everybody..😊
Ps: I represent Hamilton.
The mighty return of gj
