CUP RESULTS - 2009/08/08 & 09

[supastar#8]

Really enjoyable game to watch yesterday, shame about the send off I think some of our guys were frustrated due to lack of consistency from the referee but yes the elbow did hit the chin albeit softly. As someone else said well done to Farms number 8 who didn't attempt to milk it (unlike our friend from last week) - Our main gripe was - 2 players wrestled for the ball if your going to send ours off, at least book the other player. Our first goal was a cracker - Farm equalised soon after but was wrongly dissallowed - for offside. Farm then scored again,this time it counted. Knights got a scrappy goal to make it 2-1 then another excellent goal - header which gave the keeper no chance - Farm looked shellshocked and personally I thought we should have had one or two more. Second half was a different story - Farm came out firing and scored fairly soon after the break. I thought we might hold them but of course send off hurt us. Farm equalised with about 5 to go, and as you would expect were all over us during extra time. Farms first and last goals were crackers well done to both sets of players for a great game played hard but fair

Finally- a fair account of the game by a Knights' supporter.

Now maybe someone from Ingle Farm could post a fair account of the game

wasn't there but after reading FARMS match reports all year i tend to believe SWANNY AND KNIGHTS.

I cant believe that the Knights coach took #15 off when they were still 3-1 up because he was 'tired'. Surely a young player in their first team could last 90mins. Knights had that game and they threw it away.

[Los Del Eague]

It's bad enough listening to you and carra during the match never mind bringing it on here

Cheeky arl c*nt, why didn't you come and say hello?
There were a few Sat and Sun boys knocking around the far side.

Iggies 3 v East 2

Another round where nobody tips us, and we win! I'll be honest, I was actually really disappointed with Easties today. Were they missing players because it was on a Saturday? We were up 2-0 at half time and then 3-0 early in the second half, and had about 5 or 6 chances to really bury the game. They didn't really seem into the contest at all, not the bruising encounter we expected from a Sunday side. They scored a freekick with about 15 mins to go, and then scored a penalty with about 5 minutes to go, but didn't break us down. That being said, we should have been 5 or 6 up before that, some of the goals we missed were shockers (I can remember 3 or 4 one-on-ones). Their keeper almost helped us with a Paul Robinson impersonation, but luckily for him he missed the ball on the edge of the 18, so he had enough time to chase it back and keep it out of the goal

The referee had a shocker. The first two or three throw-ins were the wrong way. We had a guy blatantly tripped in the box in the first half, no penalty. Then, at 3-0 down, Easties had a guy blatantly tugged back in the box, and the ref blew the whistle...and gave a freekcik outside the box. AND then ( ), the penalty was won by the guy rounding our keeper, who took him out on the penalty spot, any league, any division in the world, straight red card - but the ref gave him nothing!! It would have made it interesting too because we had just used our last sub and one of our defenders had hurt his back so we would have had 10 men with an outfield player in goal and an injured defender with 5 mins plus stoppages to go.

We take them as they come though, on to the next round. Hoping for Munno Para, to exact revenge for them knocking out our first team, or St Peters, for rivalry reasons.

Fair assessment of the game there. No ifs or buts about it we were poor during the whole game, particularly in the first half. Iggies did have quite a few chances to put the game to bed when we were pushing forward during the second half trying to somehow get ourselves back in the contest.

We were missing three players who have played in each of the preceding rounds and it would have been good to have them there but we cant make any excuses as we were beaten by the better team on the day.

The ref did make some shocking calls for both teams and it would have made for a very entertaining finish if the Iggies keeper had been sent off when he took out our player for the penalty. But can only wish Iggies all the best for the remainder of the cup and just hope now we can seal the victories we need to tie up the league.

I cant believe that the Knights coach took #15 off when they were still 3-1 up because he was 'tired'. Surely a young player in their first team could last 90mins. Knights had that game and they threw it away.

He was suffering very badly from the flu and finding it hard to breathe. Remember we were down to 10 men with 35 minutes to play and held Farm out until the last 5 minutes - so blame who you want but we pushed them all the way

[Sportsfan]

Hey Knight7... you’re being very fair! I was at the game and the way I saw it was the Knights going down the hill got the drop on Farm with the early goal and also missed 3 sitters before Farm had a look in. Knights could easily have gone in 5-1 up. I also had a good view of the elbow... it was actually a push with the forearm high to the chest which slid up and barely touch the chin, unfortunately this was right in front of the Farm bench and, as usual, they did their bit to get the lad sent off. A good ref would have given a yellow and not ruin an absorbing contest.

Obviously on the big pitch and with the Knights down to 10 men it was only a matter of time before Farm won it. Once 4-3 down, to their credit, the Knights pushed players forward and could have snuck something but tired legs proved too much up the hill, that gave Farm the opportunities and they did have 4 or 5 great chances late on but only because of circumstances. It was a very even tussle spoilt by one of those ref’s that needs to be noticed… he has always been controversial and frequently creates something out of nothing. The game wasn’t overly physical but there were a few occasions where the Knight players got clattered after moving the ball but the ref seemed to think this was ok, but this creates a lot of frustration, and he set the tone for the rest of the match. To be honest he couldn’t have played at a great level as his understanding of subtleties of the game is poor. I would think against certain other teams the send-off could easily have caused a riot. The Farm has the quality to go on from this but they need to start a little better than they did against the Knights.

[The Roo]

Are you serious? I wouldve put money one you guys beating them, theyre absolute rubbish... I cant believe theyre leading their league, they cant put two passes together... We played them off the park and they arsed a goal in the last second.. I cant believe that result..

Downs 5 - 1 St Peters

Possibly the most disappointing day of football I have ever been involved in today. Downs scored early on through a neat ball over to their young winger who showed great composure to chip over Galey. From there on in we had a goal disallowed for offside then it all went to Shite. We basically handed Downs all their goals. We certainly didn't bring our best defensive game today and conceded half the total goals we have let in all season in one game!!!

It was also the wierdest game to be involved in because I believe that we played some of the best attacking football we have all year, but we couldnt get the ball in the net. Well don to the Downs though because I think that they would have maybe had 7 shots and scored 5 times. We maybe had 20 balls into the box and only scored through a penalty.

Terrible day for us today and hopefully we can pick ourselves up and this may fire up for better things in the league....

PS farm reserves beat St Peters 1-0 in the end....

[1from1]

even if the downs could only put one pass together it was one more than you guys could put together as i assume your talking about the wanderers.
st peters were a lot better in my opinion than wanderers, the downs played better against st peters and were certainly more clinical in both passing and finishing. st peters threw in alot of crosses and could of scored from a couple of scrambles but no real clear cut chances that i can remember.

[kinghenrik]

First things first, cheers to the knights lads for a good hard contest. Right, I’ll start with you knight 25. You my friend are nothing short of an absolute BELLEND. The ref had his moments as all do but how you can honestly write that he cheated through the whole game and gave you nothing is false, outrageous and clearly stemmed from an overwhelming case of sour grapes. I’ll be with you in a moment swanny. The knights came out firing and began with an absolute cracker and their forwards were certainly causing our defenders plenty of headaches. The farm was looking good when attacking and were denied a goal due to a controversial offside at best. (Any disallowed goals knight 25? just wondering, as you kinda mentioned the ref was against you guys all day. get back to me with that if you could ok pal.) Anyways, both teams defences were looking very susceptible in the first half. The farms defence were absolutely atrocious before the break. We equalised through a Paul Jones cracker which silenced the knights fans (only briefly) from their constant ribbing of him. Knights took their chances well and went in 3-1 at the break. The 2nd half was all farms. Knights tired big time and yes the send off was crucial but yes the send off was legitimate and the only person to blame there is your player who had a complete brain-fade. As soon as the farm equalised it was all over. The knights were out of legs and the farm must have had about 7 one on ones but couldn't finish them off. The knights did their best with what they had and their first half was awesome but a game gets played over 90 and sometimes 120 minutes. The knights started the game but the farm certainly finished it.
Right swanny where were we? Fiction can be fun but don’t rob yourself of your well earned credibility on this forum by coming on here and reporting that tripe you call an honest account. The elbow was blatant. He was aggravated and he elbow/forearmed the farm player square on the chin. It wasn't heinous but it was right in front of the ref and completely unnecessary. The ref is not there to adhere to people on the sidelines and their wishes for theatre, he is there to execute the letter of the law. It was a send off, deal with it. Another thing I really enjoyed was the absolute hypocrisy of knights supporters who whinged about the para boys when I can tell ya now, that the knights fans give out just as good as they get. Comment of the day would have to be when the knights fans PREMATURELY invited a farm player to sing the knights song after the game. Funny none of them wanted to help us out later on. Oh well, bring on the semis and good luck with div 2 and future achievements knights.

Despite your wordy response kinghenrik, it was in my humble opinion a soft dismissal...very Breeze like...opinion versus opinion...if you are going to state "letter of the law" how can you gloss over other incidents that were missed, shirt tugging when a player is all but through, and some over zealous tackling ( albeit from both sides)....where were those letters then ?
I'm not, and never have blamed refereeing for teams losses on the forum....having refereed for SAASL for 4 years, I don't go down that path....The spirit of the game was good and I would just have liked to seen a game played in it's entirety 11 v 11....not 60 minutes out of 120.
My criticism is of prior forumite views expressing that Farms victory was not influenced by the send off....that is all ! We will obviously never know.
Lastly, who is at fault if your guys can't put away 5 one on ones....if you are going to blame one of our players for having a lapse of temper, then similarly your own players ( and some good goalkeeping - that's why keepers are there ?) are responsible for your team not finding the back of the net on more occasions.
Comment of the day for me was when the boys on the hill asked for their photo to be taken....there's only so much you can do with photoshop.

my mentioning of the farms blunder after blunder infront of goals in the last 45 minutes was done in order to exclamate their dominance and abundance of opportunities in that part of the match. ofcourse it was the forwards fault and some good keeping but surely that does not sway you from the fact that the farm were all over you and in complete control of the game. like i said before, everyone would have loved 11 on 11 but your gripe is with your number 16 and nobody else. as a former ref you must acknowledge that all the other infringements you mentioned are debatable but something that can not be argued is a blatant elbow 3 yards away from the ref. ps. still havent heard an explanation for the disallowed goal decision knight 25 or swanny. is it possible that knight 25 has read his own garbage and put a muzzle on himself to save what little credibility he has left???

I wasn't in a position to judge whether the player was in fact offside or not (I think B.Toomer was chatting to me at the time)...live by the sword die by the sword.
How are all the other things debatable....explain....the laws are there in black and white according to your previous post...now you are beginning to lose credibility
But why were Farm all over Knights (not me, I was taking photographs and watching the game), there in lays the rub kinghenrik...was it anything to do with Knights losing a defender with 30 minutes of full time and 30 minutes of extra time to go ???

PS- I fixed up the quoting for you and you are distracting me from posting my photos.

[M Andrea]

hey lefty, u forgot to mention WHO scored our goal and WHO shot the ball late in the game for MP to save, otherwise, pretty even game i thought. Taity with a pearler at the end hitting the post. Was chasing him and could see his shot from behind. Thought it was going in. Thanx to me mate Golder for a lump on my temple. Good luck to all the Parafield Boys for the Semi's and i can guarantee you that we will be 1000% focused on the league now.
S h i t - i even got to meet Nuggett. He's been VERY quiet lately

[kinghenrik]

how unfortunate or should i say convenient for yourself that you happened to be in a perfect position to witness, oh let me think, what was it again...

the Knights player had the ball in his hands and Farms player rushed in and tried to grab the ball, Knights player tried to pull the ball away and caught the Farm player on the face

. there we go hope that quoting was a little more up to scratch for ya.

but weren't quite in the best position to see a decision ( wait for it) against the farm. even funnier thing is that both situations occurred in the exact same part of the field. i know because i was in line with both. B Toomer doesn't talk to me.
by debatable i mean that perhaps the ref did not see it or his perceptions of said tackles were within the letter of the law. i believe that both teams were going in hard and were equally treated. what is absolute and undeniable and certainly right infront of the ref was the blatant elbow hence the red card. i think you'll find im quite happy with my credibility mate, go through my posts if ya can be bothered and you will see that rarely i blame the ref for a farm loss. i would never be that unoriginal. i am keen to see the photos though so il agree to a stalemate until you've put them up. the same dont go for knight 25, i still think you're hiding after the biggest sour graped induced whinefest since the downs visited the hallowed walkley turf.

kinghenrik, I said in my first post and again that i did not think the ref was fair for the game. it seemed on a number of occasions that he was a bit one sided. Yes you did have a disallowed goal. That disallowed goal was for one of your strikers being offside. The sending off was a card. Im not sure if it should have been a red but i think a yellow was fair enough. I was not close enough to the incident..

To judge an offside you need to be in line, I now remember the offside (I think) the fully qualified linesman's flag was up instantly, John just took forever to spot it...
The tussle over the ball incident I was watching very closely and the Knights player was facing toward me and didn't require me to be "in line" to form my opinion.
PS - Where did the 2 spare balls disappear to when Farm hit the lead ??
Why is it referees allow defending players to stand over the ball at free kicks, I'm sure it happened repetatively in this game.

Referees are reminded that a player must be cautioned if:
• he delays the restart of play
• he fails to respect the required distance when play is being restarted

sorry bout that one M Andrea, had to get that one in after you scored the goal

well done to the boys on the weekend, great effort by all & bring on another big day down at grange in September

Re the Farm v. Kinights match, for anyone to suggest that the Referee (Man U John) was or is a cheat is outrageous! knight25, you have NFI if that is what you think.

a) you're seriously clutching at straws there swanny as we both know that the last 45 minutes of the game was all farm with chance after chance to putting the game well beyond contention. be honest, you boys were buggered and we ran all over yas and certainly were not trying to stall to hold onto the win. i've never seen this side of you before, you can take the boy out of argana hey.... well you know the rest.

b) im glad that someone from the knights is admitting that they were getting a repeated amount of free kicks. might wanna inform knight 25, i don't think he is convinced.

I think you need to check some of the photos then
The free kick mention related to both teams, not related to the result, relating to the "letter of the law" that you were quick to throw in and then try to rebuke.
While Farm were missing so badly there was always a chance, Chris Bradley (sub) was causing a few problems when he wasn't being felled.
Most of the photos of Farms latter efforts would have been of the house and skyline behind the goals.....but one goal in extra time was all it took in the end.
What side of me haven't you seen, the one that stand behind his opinions....then you obviously don't know me that well.
I defend my opinions like I defended my goal.......(occasionally )

Still having trouble with the quoting process it seems.

not once have i rebuked but only clarified the difference between what the ref feels he has seen during a match and what has been blatantly presented for him. are you seriously trying to worm your way out of your nothing short of miraculous "he didn't mean it" tale with a technicality about standing on the ball for too long? is this hawkesy in disguise? it has a hawkesy feel about it...
once again i think you are missing the point about farms abundance of chances. whether they went in ,hit the post or landed on bridge road is completely irrelevant. whats relevant is that it was continuously down that end and most importantly was seldomly down yours.
ps. great photos and yes my quoting is a working progress

One of your defenders blatantly grabbed a players shirt as he was breaking through, a free kick was awarded but no caution ensued...how many letters of the law are there ?

Stumps....what time does play begin again ?

im saying i dont know what the ref saw on these awfully vague examples you are producing. what i and everyone but yourself and knight 25 know he saw was the elbow and by the letter of the law he had to go. still think you're making alot of excuses for this one swanny. but yes stumps it is, im a night owl so same bat time same bat channel. ok
