I'll be going to Africa Allstars v Wanderers today. Not sure about tomorrow yet, but probably Adelaide Asteras v Adelaide Uni. I've read elsewhere that Athelstone and Navarino have both forfeited. Can anyone confirm?

Should I edit the very first post in this thread to highlight the winners? That was my original intention

[¥argo]

Cove beat Easties

[¥argo]

Any results for the +35s Cup?

Elizabeth Grove v Para Hills West 35A = 1-4

[Klinsmann]

Florina looked very ordinary against a second string Croatia outfit who had 6 players out themselves.

Croatia dominated possession for most of the game...just couldn't finish in front of the sticks.

Florina had a player sent off in the second half 15 minutes in unlike other reports.

Florina looked all over the shop for most of the game struggling to string 2 - 3 passes. Croatia very unlucky not to go through...however congratulations to Florina for perservering & grinding out a result.

sorry my mistake yes indeed it was the second half he was sent off after extra time few johhnie walkers at game and home seemed a long time ago..

as for ordinary play alot to do with the big partying the lads did the night before to the early hours of the morning..
but still pulled it through..good luck for the rest of the season to boris and the guys hope you can grind it out and stay up..

Partying the night before the game...welcome to our world.

Thanks for your best wishes & best of luck to you guys for the remainder of the season.

Cheers

Lol. Seems that both teams were in rat shite condition for the game then. If this is any bearing, then the linesman was a stinkin' pile of whale turd!

Any results for the +35s Cup?

Elizabeth Grove v Para Hills West 35A = 1-4

So that would leave PHW A, Woodpeckers, Downs and FOB in the hat for the semi final?

Are both the semis played at Wembley?

as a suggestion a double header on a friday night somewhere suitable eg playford or para hills??.

Just thought I would quote ALL of the predictions thrown out before the Grove v Westies game:

And I quote; Di Canio 'Elizabeth Grove VS Para Hills West '
East Boy 'Elizabeth Grove VS Para Hills West '
Ramosrules 'Elizabeth Grove VS Para Hills West'
Twisted300 'Elizabeth Grove VS Para Hills West'
Jay Walking 'Elizabeth Grove VS Para Hills West'
haywood djablowme 'Elizabeth Grove VS Para Hills West'
medallion 'Elizabeth Grove VS Para Hills West - Westies in a tight one. Grove seem to lift for the big games
tyneside 'Elizabeth Grove VS Para Hills West'
vista09 'Elizabeth Grove VS Para Hills West'

NEVER EVER UNDERESTIMATE THE GROVE!!

Who would have predicted that a 2nd div team with only one win to it's name would totally outplay an undefeated 1st div side

First game they came out and actually played this season.We'll see who they draw next?

[ramosrules]

Lets get the record straight about the Fulham v Adelaide FC game.

Adelaide FC never came to play as they rocked up with only 10 men.

They only had 3 players from the starting 11 from the previous week (1 of our club members went to have a look at them just to get an idea of what they were like).

It was there 1st loss that game for the year against the Cove who are apparently a very good side.

So basically they were stacking there B team (they had a cup win) and only turned up for our game cos they had to.

If they forfeited there B team would have been kicked out of the cup as well.

With the abandoning of the game there forward got a yellow for a rash tackle early and then a 2nd very bad tackle earned him a 2nd yellow and send off.

He lost the plot as a result and shoved the ref square in the chest almost pushing him over and spat at him and the ref called off the game.

We were winning 1-0 so game over and a win for us and an early shower – to be honest I was not complaining – it’s the closest we are going to get to have a week off until the end of the season.

I went to watch the reserves (flinders) play FC Adelaide on saturday, Adelaide turned up 45 minutes late, they said there was a car crash on Marion rd. Funny none of our players saw it and really its 'kin Adelaide 45 minutes to find a sidestreet and swing onto south rd, give me a break. Anyway they definately had at least 3 players from their A's playing in thier B's
(we played them 3 weeks ago in the league). They got 2 players sent off. Some of thier players are just dicks, its a shame cause some of them were alright.

[The Spick.]

if not for some outstanding keeping which possibly kept Asteras in the game.

Possibly kept them in the game? That keeper is a gun. I am surprised Bodo didn't write on essay just on the keeper's performance today. That keeper is definately one to hold on too

I take it ur still in goals then furburger???

I didn't pick that up (that he was plugging himself) and thought he must have been one of the Uni players but after The Spick's question above and some research realised Furburger's plugging himself.

Nice work

As for saying that keeper's a gun... I take that back

We are thinking of big pregame match how bout borat in the makini followed by old redback with a twirling fire wand???

[Popov vromgolarov]

Thanks popov
our coach does his job very well,
we had heard about some new signings so he was right to mention it
after all, they could've been stars, you never know.
If he'd had not mentioned it and we got dicked we'd look like clowns wouldn't we.

Yep great game to watch, I thought the #6, #23 (after his howler at the start) and #11 all had great games.I do have a soft spot for Raptors though, they play football in the right spirit.
And yes the banter was all in good fun.
All the best, I think you will finish the season off very strong and we expect to see you next season
in Div 1.[/quote]


He'll love it when he reads that.
this is the same guy who twenty minutes in looked to the bench and asked ot be subbed!!
credit to him he turned it around and was very influential in the way we fought back into the contest.

Must say i have enjoyed the two contests against you guys this season, would be good to play against you next season for points, unlikely at this stage though as fulham and inter look like making the step back up.

[medallion]

Actually we signed up 6 new players with the league friday night and they all had a massive impact on sunday......with our c teams!!!!

interesting you guys would know this info and even more so your coach would use it as part of his pre-game speach to fire up his troops.
One of our boys overheard him saying that we had signed up some new players and that they may even be ex national league players?????

all in all thought it was a good game and enjoyed the banter with your crowd, in particuler one female supporter who took offence at our coach yelling instructions.
You guys thouroughlly deserved the victory, well done and good luck for the rest of the year.

Massive communication break down at the back. Spoke to him after the game and asked him what he was thinking, he said he thought that the keeper was in the box and wanted to make sure the ball got to him as Torsten and Groomy were right behind him. Anywayz, great game to watch as Farm came out firing. Moved the ball around superbly through Eggars, (felt sorry for him when they went down to 10 men, was left to do all the running) and deserved their early lead. Raptors faught hard to get a goal back but wasted too many attempts going forward. I guess the ski slope got the better of their fitness in the end.

[Jay Walking]

Farm v ISC Raptors
A good 2-1 win for the boys after having a player sent off in the first half. At 2 nil with 11 men, we looked very comfortable. Even the first 10 mins after the red card we looked good but Raptors started to push the ball around more and made our midfield run and run. They started to look a lot better and scored before half time. Not sure how the Raptors keeper wasn't sent off for hand ball outside the box. Even the ref after the game said that he probably should of but thats life.

Second half was similar but Raptors seem to be tiring as much as the Farm. I heard that they had signed four players during the week and I'm not sure if they were match fit or not. Both teams had a few chances to score but didn't take them.

Great to see Dave Ennis back out on the park. Highlight of the game was him coming on and 45 seconds later, getting booked With a few extra training sessions, he is going to be a great addition for the second half of the year.

B's V Elizabeth Grove
Didn't see the game but was told we won 7-1. It was 5-1 at half time. Fairly physical game and Grove had some good players but were just not fit enough. Andy Lynn scored a cracker goal.

C's v Elizabeth Downs C2
We won 13 nil. Downs C2 team are mainly kids who are still learning the game. They tired hard right till the end despite getting easily beaten. A couple of guys in that team who in the coming years could make solid B team players, possibly A's. We put out the youngest C team ever at the Farm and played fairly well. Got away with some things that we wouldn't against better teams. Well Done to Timmy Fisher for scoring 4 for the day. In his last game, Twin scored a hatrick!!

Where did you get that from??? No, i think youll find they started 4 reserves players in this game, but if thats signing 4 new players during the week, then i guess your right

Farm were all over Raptors in that first 15 minutes, and yes their Keeper should of been sent off for that incident, but your B's ref told some Raptor people on the hill that the reson he didnt send him off was because it was just outside the box and the ref couldnt really be 100% sure that the keeper deliberately meant to handle it outside the box. From where i was standing, i honestly thought he was in the box but it was brought to my attention that he was just outside by the smallest of margins and had the ref not been right there, it would never had been called, so well done to the ref for being right there, and well done to him for actually thinking what he did, because he had a split second to make the call the way he did and didnt kill the game in the first 5 minutes.
Having said that, what your player did to be sent off was just stupid. He got the free, no need to retaliate the way he did, the Raptor player didnt even touch him, i was standing right in front of that incident. Was a good game though, end to end action and Raptors really didnt play that well, so a deserved win for the Farm.

Agree with your call about the ref and the possible send off, it was close to the box etc. The problem is though, if he thought it was in the box, its play on; if he thought is was out of the box, it is a free kick and a red card, not a yellow. In the end, it didn't effect the result to much. As for our red, stupid for our player to do what he did. He had his defender on toast. I spoke to him after the game and the thought the Raptors player lined him up from 5 meters away. Doesn't excuse what he did. I struggled to see much of the game as I was on BBQ duties again.

As for the four new signings, I have spies everywhere but a bit like the intellegence the US got about Iraq, it was a little off I think you'll find our coach would of said something along those lines just to make sure our boys didn't take the game to lightly.

Not a huge crowd from either team but certainly enough to make in entertaining. Nice to see a few Raptors boys hang around after the game. Good luck for the season and hopefully we may see you next year to sample some of your food!!!

Is there a distinction between a goalkeeper, who as part of his game is allowed to handle the ball, and accidently steps outside his area, as opposed to a field player who handles the ball anywhere on the park ?
Unless the goalkeepers action was judged as deliberate I don't see why he should have been sent off.
However, I haven't read through the Laws of the Game thoroughly.

did i forget to mention grove beat para hills west(sorry to gloat it was just awe inpsiring to watch after last 7-8 weeks )

I think the reason why he also didn't get sent off, is because the keeper was caught in no-mans land and just reacted with a reflex touch of the ball. The sweeper also regained possesion of the ball after the incident. It wasn't deliberate because the keeper didn't realise he was out of his box and the striker wasn't dis-advantaged by the act as they were merely applying pressure. In relation to your question, it's more a fact that he is the last man as opposed to a player anywhere on the park.

If he is seeking to gain an advantage by denying a goal scoring opportunity then it is Serious Foul Play and a Red Card. If there were 3 Raptor players behind him, then you could argue it is only a Yellow card.

No one in Div 1 has been able to do it yet either.

[pecker4life]

was 4-1 para hills west werent that bad they had there fair amount of chances,grove just simply outplayed them ,had a lot more chances and several of their goals were just fantastic team football

[gee_kay]

was not just a huge exaggeration there, try two guys having a scuffle and and getting red cards and then the oppositions brothers one on the field and one was a linesman (who went nuts swinging the flag and throwing umbrellas) just wanted to fight, we tried to diffuse the situation but the two brothers just wouldn,t stop, so our ref stopped it there. Took us and them a good half an hour to calm them down after the game. Apparently the three boys have been through a lot in their life lately, though not condoning what they did as this is not needed on the football pitch ..

before posting all in brawl get your facts right..gotta love the chinese whispers of the football news sms chain messages optus and telstra must drop packets of text through transmission somewhere hey lads..

Came form one of your c players via a phonecall wanker thank god for optus

Hi Ramos!

We are playing FC Adelaide this week. Interested in finding out if any of these 'A' team players that were playing in the 'B' team were sent off on Saturday.......

Basically right but it's not serious foul play, that would be a really bad challenge.

Swannsong, once the keeper is out of his area is he is subject to the same handball laws as the outfield players.

Handball: It is the only law where it requires a deliberate attempt. Red cards for these handballs are almost impossible to determine unless you actually see them. Did he deliberately handball it (outside the area)? Was he denying an OBVIOUS goal scoring opportunity?

[ramosrules]

Thier forward who got sent off scored two goals against us in the A's 3 weeks ago. We played shite that week (as we have for the last month) came back inthe second half pulled a goal back but then lost the plot. They have some decent players, one big strong striker that holds the ball up well (not the one who got sent off) and some skill inthe midfield, their defence is fairly old and slow, you guys should kill them down the flanks and expose thier pace behind thier defence.
Although i think id prefer a draw we got to win our next two games against Budapest and Hahndorf to make sure were back in the mix for the second half the season (lot of the top teams are playing each other over next week as with u and Adelaide this weekend)

He probably did not intentionally handle the ball outside the box, but you would excuse a ref if he did sent him off. I feel that the ref did the right thing in the end by only handing out a yellow and he should be given praise for not having an influence on the game. This is something other refs should take notice of.

Ingle farm know how to play their ground well. Any chance they get, they like to spread the ball out wide into the open spaces deep into their opponents half. They have some very fit & fast wing backs and the secret to shutting them down is by closing this route. Do this & you will be able to catch them on the rebound with the same tactic, but easier said than done, they are a well drilled side. The slope of their ground would also give them a huge advantage, as they would be conditioned to play on it, as for me I was pooped after the 1st 45 minutes from running up hill.
