SUN DIV 8

[Stokesy]

Just starting a thread up for this division because I don't believe there's one up for it yet.

It'll also be good if people can contribute to this thread by posting their results after games each Sunday. The SAASL site takes a while to update.

Could each club also confirm their default kick-off times for home games?

Cheers.

[MLSC-B's]

All Para Hills West C2 home games are 11.30 kick off.

[Popov vromgolarov]

Raptors home games are 11.30 kick off too.

we just got over PHW on the weekend, I'd imagine FOB will again be the team to beat this year.

They spanked us in round one.

[MLSC-B's]

Great game on the weekend against the Raptors and a great bunch of blokes. Looking forward to our next game against them.

FOB had a couple of undeniably top quality players but those couple of blokes carry the others... we lost 2-1 to them on Sunday but after our game it surprises me how they've been belting sides like they have.

[Caretaker Coach]

The West Beach team has a lot of ex perienced players, very strong side.

Agree 100% with this. Of the 4 teams we've played they were the most organized and played the best football. Always a pleasure to play at their ground as well...

[LUFC22]

Can anyone clarify raptors home game kick off for Sunday? Is it 100% an 11:30 kick off?

Thanks

[Popov vromgolarov]

yeah mate 11.30

Just because you played 1 good game this season. Scoring 39 goals in 5 games doesnt just happen with 2 good players.

You drop a guy into the midfield of a div 8 side, who could (by admition of players in your own side) "walk into any div1 first team" and youre going to get blow out score lines. Hes worth 4 goals a game every week on his own, plus the 1 or 2 that have played div2 first team and reserves... more experience and ability amongst those "few players" than most squads in div8 have combined.

Surely the guys that are 'below par' are logical enough to see that they have F.all to do with these big scores?

Just throwing it out there.... but if the whole team is so good, why are you playing div8??

[Popov vromgolarov]

I think Raptors beat parafield gdns 5:1

Because 80% of the lads are over 30 with kids and dont have time for anything higher (as like every quality player in div8) and also they are all mostly old elizabeth fields players that just want to keep playing together. Also just coming out for beers

Won't argue there... It would've been 15-8 if both teams knew how to shoot lol!

Not always,

Anyone got news on the Andrews Farm - West Beach game at all?

Going to be a very interesting game for us next week.

[Jiglet25]

West Beach won 12-1

Anybody know if 30FC is still in our div or have they pulled out?

Plympton 0 - FOB 12

Not bad result for a team with only a couple good players.

I wouldnt be too hard on the FOB boys, if you were at this game you will know that Plympton could have been 2-0 up less then 10 minutes, missed 2 easy chances at beginning, looking to be an interesting game.Then lost our capt, and then also probably our best player ( injuries ) just after that,down to only 1 sub. First time weve had a full team for a while.
Having many new players, a mixture of ages and playing ability, always knew it was going to be tough season.
Although the FOB were the better team, we didnt help our cause by the way we played, gifted them some of the goals, and that will happen when you have young players coming up, and players still learning.
FOB striker could easily have had more goals, had he not been so unselfish, always looking to set up his team mates to score. If he just wants to play with his mates, I think that is great, I gather this group have been together a while, just mates who want to have a kick and a drink. I say good luck to them.
We look forward to the challenge when we play them next - Dont wish it was easier, wish you were better ( Jim Rohn ).

[Old Redback]

FOB have always been a decent side and exemplify the spirit of what amaeur football is about - a group of mates that want to play together and have a drink afterwards. They play in the spirit that it is meant to be played in and I miss them from the 35s league.

[LUFC22]

Just had a Chat with a player from FOB who agreed with my previous posts.... funny how players from within the same team have such different opinions

I was there as i play for FOB was just making a smart ass remark to a previous comment.

You are 100% right in the game review, although i would say Plympton should have been more then 2 up. Dominated the first 15 - 20 minutes of the game. Our team went in at half time amazed that we didnt concede a goal.

As for your team injuries, i hope all the best for the players and a quick recovery and very much looking forward to playing you guys again at our ground.
