Re: Sunday Div 4 News & Results
surely a couple of players could double up just so the rest of their mates would get a game. which is the very reason unly b are playing the catch up game against seaford b tomorrow when we host asia so all credit to unly for jumping at the opportunity.seaford,who have not played for a fortnight through no fault of their own,and have a couple of injurys of their own to boot would do anything to get game time for as many players as possible as often as possible. after all, that is what its all about,isnt it.

Re: Sunday Div 4 News & Results
think most teams in same boat, shame they are forfeiting, i think we had 3 players, play 180mins against seaford with another 3 on 135mins, rather just play than worry about anything else.
Re: Sunday Div 4 News & Results
Andrews Farm had to forfeit the Bs otherwise it would have been practically the same team playing both games, not just a few doubling up. We've always had some guys double up if needed so we could play 2 teams but this week we just simply couldn't do it. We've got a lot of niggly injuries which just arent getting better, some players are sick and some just haven't bothered to rock up. Its frustrating to us too because we miss out on a good day of 2 senior home games, and its not fair on those guys who do train regularly and are always up for a game, but we had to make the call last night instead of getting Noarlunga all the way down here and have to forfeit on them. The boys have been read the riot act and hopefully those who just haven't been interested pull their heads in and start supporting their team mates. Those with sore muscles and niggly injuries will benefit the week off and hopefully we'll be back on track to travel to Seaford next weekend.
Re: Sunday Div 4 News & Results
Noarlunga were informed that Andrews Farm had 20 fit players last night... riot act ??? So are the players injured or can't be bothered.... considering its andrews farm home game surely your club could field two teams...
all clubs have players with niggly injuries and clubs at this level have on numerous occasions have players playing 2 games in the day

Re: Sunday Div 4 News & Results
Well you'd think because its our home game they could be bothered.... The fact of the matter is we didn't have the numbers for multiple reasons, so out of courtesy the forfeit was made early. We had 20 players on paper but a handful of them were still questionable and hadn't been seen all week so why count on players you aren't even sure are going to turn up? The dedicated players are sick of doubling up so we called it. Andrews Farm is a long way from Noarlunga to travel and then find out there isn't a game. Why bitch about the decision, would you have rather we called it an hour before KO?

Most would prefer if you commit to playing for the season you play for the whole season.

Re: Sunday Div 4 News & Results
Haha I wholly agree with you! I'm not sure why some players "commit" to playing then just rock up when they feel like it.Fído Dido wrote:Most would prefer if you commit to playing for the season you play for the whole season.
Re: Sunday Div 4 News & Results
Can't Andrews Farm find a couple of ring-ins to play similar when they travelled to Noarlunga ???

Surely not. You're not suggesting they cheated to lose 9-0 are you

Re: Sunday Div 4 News & Results
We fronted up at Aldinga with 18 fit players and still put two teams on the pitch. Yes we took a belting. But its about club pride. We put 2 teams in div 4 and we aim to put two teams out every week.

Re: Sunday Div 4 News & Results
Seaford B's beat unley 7-0 in a catch up from a missed game earlier in the season. A huge thanks to them for coming out and from what I gather suggesting to play the game. It had to be played on our second pitch so not the most fluent of games but a pretty comfortable scoreline. Unleys keeper with some great stops to keep the games close throughout. Again massive thanks for coming and just a pity Asia didn't forfeit earlier and let the A's catch up too.
Now for a rant, what a disgrace the league is the teams can cancel so late and absolutely nothing happen. How Asia were permitted to play in a 2 team league with 1 team still escapes me. I know fixtures can't go ahead for various reasons but we all play amateur footballs cause we love to play the game and going 5 odd weeks without playing ruins that. We all appreciate the struggles Andrews farm have with keeping 2 teams together and we had that at Seaford last year, it's hard when your not regularly getting results but getting game time plays dividends in the long run are an example of that and hatchet can testify many people regularly doubled up to fulfill the fixtures. I agree with hatchets suggestion the teams who has a game forfeited against them should get an average of the others teams result for them. At the end of the day both leagues are so close it could go down to goal difference and who actually played the most games could be very important.
On a personal note, hopefully farm can get 2 teams out next week cause they were a good bunch of lads earlier on the season and we have a lot of people keen to play. Even with 2 teams were resting people each week which is a fortunate position to be in

Re: Sunday Div 4 News & Results
Disagree with the average scores proposal but if a team regularly forfeits would like to see them removed and their results expunged.

Re: Sunday Div 4 News & Results
lets get a few things straight: im the coach and player of the Andrews Farm A team we have never had a full 2 teams this season we have had at least 5 players playing double games on every game this season with not one complaint for my boys and never used it as an excuse for loosing .
at the start of the seasons the game away against noarlung we had a full Bs side and only 6 A players the rest doubled up No ring ins were played
we have has some injuries and at training i had 10 players not 20 i had 10
on paper i had 17 but could not confirm to have all 17 out, i would have played 2 teams with 17 i have done many times before
so i made the call to for the first time this season we forfeited 1 team
i called noarlunga and told them as soon as i made the decision they weren't happy about it and i understand that but nothing i could do about it
i was proud of my boys today we played well as did noarlunga we lost 6-4 but i was happy with the game
the reff was another story

Croatia v Aldinga A's and B's postponed due to waterlogged pitch.
Unfortunate for the Aldinga lads to come all that way, sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: Sunday Div 4 News & Results
Let's not get facts in the way if a good story...
Phone call Friday night
We have 20 players available with another 23 players injured ... So Andrews farm will forfeit the ressies
To say you didn't play a ring in is false.. Given I received a phone call from a coach that is involved with a Saturday team to say his player is playing for Andrews Farm
Possibly our worse game for the season today

yeah the phone call was our club president with the incorrect info and yeah i was Friday night straight after our training
and the player you are referring to ran the line for the A team we were part way through his transfer and his old coach was not being a pain and not releasing him
but he did not play
so in your words mate "Let's not get facts in the way if a good story..."
and was it the worse game of the season for you guys because the bottom team gave you such a run for you money ??
