Yesterdays match at Ulinga must have been a cracker for the neutral and fans of both clubs. I think it's already been said from elsewhere but thanks to South Cardiff for hosting our match day. I hope you made some good coin out of it and hence made it worthwhile for you. Cheers to Garden Suburb president Damian too who kept us posted all the way.
Firstly Lez does divide opinion but the quality of his latter 2 goals was quite outstanding. There's a lot that goes toward being the best player in the comp so I'm not willing to make that call, but hard to argue with his playing ability being the most effective.
Re: the red card. My watch said on 35 mins. I think someone from GS has already mentioned how you were flying into tackles so I don't need to elaborate. The red was coming. We got one yellow for a late but not malicious tackle on Bobby who's speed simply got the better of our stopper.
Re: the crowd. I didn't hear anything that overstepped the mark from either set, but hardly was listening out for it either from the dugout. Just glad our supporters more than matched the noise with the massive GS contingent.
Nothing has been mentioned of the ref who I thought had a very good game. Certainly shouldn't be any complaints because if there was team who could have got an extra pen it was us.
There were quality goals from both teams but I honestly think the difference was our comradery, discipline and we simply didn't have a bad player. I'm not sure Garden Suburb can say that was the case for them in any of those 3 areas.
The overwhelming majority were very good sports after the game it must be said, shaking hands and genuinely wishing us the best of luck for next week. A few even took the time to pop their heads into our sheds or stay around for a chat afterward.

Hey can someone tell me if next weeks GFs (in the lower grades) have extra-time if needed or does just 1st grade have it
I know a few of the other boys (Premy and Ninja) have already said it, but congratulations to Jesmond on their win.. Hard fought game, a little spiteful in parts but overall I think it was played in good spirits..
It must have been a corker of a game to watch as a neutral supporter. Back and forth, had a bit of everything - cards, penalty, send-offs, some amazing goals..
Going 2-0 down and losing a player relatively early on was always going to make it an uphill battle for us, however we showed some heart and fought back to take the lead.. Credit to Jesmo for using their width and really stretching us out, the last 15 minutes our gastanks were empty and they never gave up..
Should be a ripper of a match against Bero, I'll definitely be getting there to check it out..
As for all of this talk about the "banter" that went on.. To be honest, on the field anything and everything that I heard was all good, light-hearted and well-aimed (I even heard the Jezzo supporters cheering on Westy Wayno at one point!! hahaha).. I wasn't aware of any "unpleasantness" allegedly occurring until after the game when I was back in the sheds..
Big congrats to Bero. Would be great to see them win minor and major, not easy to do!
At least you didn't have to endure the Fantastic and Classy Bero supporters who at 4-0 up still had the graciousness to tell the Suns First Grade team to grab their passports and F@*% Off. They were the better team but dear God that makes my blood boil and I'm not ethnic!
haha i heard from a Bero supporter that the suns kicked the shit out of the bero players all game.....finally gave some back after all the years![]()
So being racist is an ok reaction to the opposition playing physical?
Alternatively, people could stop saying stupid shit like that and accept that racism isn't accepted in this sport. If you want to carry on like an idiot, go watch Thugby.
Racism is obviously bad enough in this sport without ridiculous remarks like this.
Hopefully there is none of this crap on the weekend. Good luck to both teams in the GF.
I didnt hear anything racist. Most of the abuse came from the Suns supporters sitting on the container. Plus the bar kept serving the Berro supporters so they didnt have a problem taking there cash. Berro players and supporters are good blokes. As for Thugby I bet you sit down and watch the footy every weekend.
no racism shouldnt be condoned at all and i dont condone it anywhere let alone at sporting fixture, but it was nice to hear that the suns returned a bit of fire on the field. Usually its Beresfield that are kicking the shit out of oppostion teams
I'll confirm, Suns did kick the shit out of Bero and I don't think it was appropriate, but they deserve itIt's the first time I've seen the Suns play the way they did, ever. It was disappointing to see that behaviour, because that's not what we are about. Especially when you're trying to egg it on to hope that Bero get involved and miss out on the GF - simply poor. Mind you, this happened in ressies too (from N Bay). Players in ressies were actually saying to each other let's get these c**ts so they miss the GF next week - I don't rate that sort of poor sportsmanship at all.
The racism card is something that's happened for years. I've learned to ignore that, but it does take some time as it's disgusting to hear and not needed. Call me a dirty c**t, not a dirty w*g c**t.
Anyway, I like the competiveness between Suns & Kotara. I have plenty of mates that play for them and couldn't be happier that we are both the only clubs with 2 teams in the GF. Good luck to all on Sunday, hopefully the sun comes out from behind the clouds and rain. Should be a cracking day of football @ Magic Park!
One incident where the suns keeper got sent off was embarrassing, knowing the keeper honestly thought he was a better person then that! I guess everyone gets caught up in the moment
I personally had top day on Sunday was good banter between both sets of fans, I can agree some people do overstep the mark and It isn't needed!
Novocastria Youth
i thought both teams gave as good as they got with both teams receiving a number of cards
agree we did lose our cool and our keeper lashed out which was out of character for him and deserved his straight red to make it equal numbers again at 10 v 10.
After the game was done and the dust had settled both sets of teams congratulated each other and i think it was all forgotten with both captains visting the opposition sheds for some well wishes
heard a few racist remarks on the day but you know what i dont care anymore coz if thats all you got to come out with than actually feel sorry you.
weve been coming here for a hundred years and if after a hundred years your only insult is to still call us/me the same 3 letter word well that just makes you look like an idiot
come on if youre gonna be racist at least make yourself look smart in the process, you can do so much better than calling me a wog...
so how you suns boys looking for sunday - cant wait for ressies best attack v best defence
and we have only played each other once which you guys did us in a close game
