Earlier in the season Para played at Modbury and had to supply the match balls as the Modbury ones were flat. Pleased to oblige.
Today in the return match at Para Hills, Modbury decide to turn up in their white strips knowing Para play in white. Despite the referee commencing the game, it was obvious the game couldn't continue. Para advised the ref we had a spare yellow strip and again we obliged and gave them to the Modbury boys who were heard mumbling that Para should wear them. Remember, WE are the home team and could have claimed a forfeit if we were so inclined. Anyway, the game ended and some of the Modbury boys were last seen taking off their borrowed shirts and were seen kicking them back over to the Para technical area saying..."these shirts are shite."
Have always had a lot of respect for the boys from Modbury but today, unfortunately, you let yourselves and your Club down and have tarnished my opinion somewhat. What's more they allowed their Coach to put the shirts in a neat pile for us to pick up.
Some of the Modbury parents weren't much better either judging from what was heard from the sidelines. Like I said to some of your players and your Coach before the game, I wish you luck for the Final at Hindmarsh but for you to move forward as players, you really need to pull your heads in and don't expect everything to be laid on a plate for you. Wouldn't surprise me if the offending players today are the same players who were writing crap about their own Club a couple of weeks ago. Good luck for the future lads and we hope you enjoy the rest of the season like you enjoyed your day out to Para today. For the record..Para won 2-1.
