Sunday League Results - 23/08/09

ok ok i over reacted with my original post - combination of Ashes / losing top spot in Div 8 had me riled and i apologise.

Honeslty though, it was blatant to everyone on the park he had an agenda yesterday. It didnt help when he was being a little bit of a smart muscat towards us. We couldnt even talk to him - and i mean talk.

He was calling everything with a green shade cloth over his eyes and he even admitted in the second half that the linesman in the first half was cheating.

Funny you mention about 'cleaning our back yard' - when we asked .[/quote]
for a little bit of extra dirt to be put on your ground to cover an exposed sprinkler, your "saint robbie" was less than helpful.

Thank goodness some of the other guys at your club recognised the danger of this and kindly brought some dirt over to cover it up.

You guy have a great club, a great bunch of blokes - but its so disappointing when stacking and blatant cheating occurs


DAMN right. Your blatent cheating by your ressies ref last year cost us the leauge, and didnt help our cause this year either. We were quite dissapointes about that. Let it be, it happens at most club these days, from the opposition view any ways. Farm said the same about us, Eddie at the vale always causes a stir, your "nice fella" who is so approachable, Think its just somethings we have to get use to in our leauge lately. At least your game was a C Grade one.

for you its just a 'c grade game' but for me and my team mates its a league game. This is as high as i can realistcally play, so for me its not 'just a c game' and i expect the game to be officiated and treated seriously.

This robbie guy may as well have picked up the ball and carried it into our net 20 times

[Željko Jurin]

nah, i had been dropped for shall we say, "dicipline" reasons so i played resies against blue eagles n then croatia on the bench. but i came on 55 minutes into the croatia match wen the score was already 6-0.

Sh*t, lucky your coach made that move then, could have been alot worse if he didnt bring you on !!

He's talking shiiite...I got there 5 minutes into the second half and the score was only 2.0 - our boys scored 4 more and it wasn't in the next 5 minutes.

I remember they replaced the keeper - can't recall what the score was coz I wasn't paying that much attention but he would have copped at least a couple I reckon.

If you're as good as you are then you should come back to Raiders - we could do with a decent keeper.

[cbf gk]

nah honestly i didnt conceed, the plan was 4 me to come on n the keeper to play on the field, but me coach got pissed cause our resies keeper had a shocker n the space of 5 minutes he conceeded 2 from both outside the box, so he subbed him off. croatia came close twice but they were jst coastin through cause they had us beat. n who knows myta been like 65-70 minutes in, jst seemed longer cause the gusto had been takin outta the game.

[maxin in the shade]

A's:
Raptors 3 def San Marco 1

San Marco were 1-0 up inside the first 60 seconds thanks to some slack marking and a well placed finish

We equalised mid-way through the first half thanks to a penalty after our player was brought down in the box. The half as a whole was fairly even with both sides having possession and creating few chances.

Second half turned out to be a shambles for SM with two players getting sent off (not sure why the captain got his two yellow cards - seemed a bit harsh). SM didnt have many chances and it was always going to be difficult going a man down

We managed to put 2 away but couldve had another 3 if it werent for some slack finishing

B's:
San Marco def Raptors 2-0

Bad loss for the B's as theyre fighting for the championship. Loss was the second v SM this season and makes it really hard for the B's to claim their first championship

Tough game away to West Beach for both sides this week. A's need a win to all but cement their place in Div 2 for next season, while WB will be playing for the championship

You guys definitely deserved the win maxin but shiraz me did that ref spoil the game or what, i know people go one every week about the refs but this one was a piece of work, did you see him chest one of our strikers in the second half, seriously if that was someone with a short fuse he would have been shitting out his whislte today, anyway good luck for the remainder of the year and hopefully we can both stay up in Div 2 next year even though we have our work cut out in the remaining two games having to play Vikings & West Beach.

well the ref did kind of ruin the game with those two send offs. up until then (and even after) it was a well played game

there were no mean spirited tackles, no dirty behind play incidents - just two teams out there trying to win for their survival

not sure why your captain got sent off. i know it was for two yellows but i dont remember why he got booked for each. The second send off all i saw was the player going at the ref and calling him names etc. was there more to it?
dont know what else you expect the ref to do in that situation though. it was just unfortunate cause as i said, the game was being played well by both sides

anyway, best of luck to SM for the rest of the year. youve got a tough run home (like us), but if you survive then you know you wouldve earnt your spot in Div 2 for next year

[kinghenrik]

sure where you're getting your info but there was 2 b's players. one who has not played for 3 weeks due to illness and one that hasn't played all year, so if you consider that loading then so be it. your assessment of robbie is not only insulting but completely wrong. robbie calls it how he sees it and does not give up 90 minutes of his sunday morning to cheat and manipulate games for the c grade.sure, he gets things wrong as like all humans it happens but to label him a cheat is completely absurd, i cant believe that anyone from florina would have the audacity to come on here questioning the integrity of other clubs refs/linesman etc. that complete joke that you guys provided for the first team game was not only an absolute embarrassment to your club but also to football itself. even you can admit that the guy is dodgy, he flagged a backpass as offside for christ sake. is it louie? im pretty sure hthis isn't the first time he's been mentioned. how about you clean up your own backyard before coming on here with ridiculous accusations. may i add that florina won fair and square today, louie had no effect on the outcome so don't mistake this for an excuse on todays result. unlike some i've accepted my particular defeat.

again with the stacking if anything the team was a little depleted due to the rezzies losing a few to injuries and holidays. robbie may not have had the best of days yesterday but a cheat he is not.

[Robbo]

Yeh well where do you start - you have thrown about 10 accusations at me here.. I really think you are being quite childish..

As I saw it, Farm C's scored after 5 minutes, thru ball, good shot, clear goal, that was 1-0.

10 minutes later - Farm corner, terrific volley by the Farm player 2-0.

The only shot I recall Florina having was a 40 yard long ball that the Farm keeper parried to stop the ball, while in the process falling into the net himself.

I will respond to them individually

Blatant cheating today from you and your linesman in the c grade.

I don't cheat, I wouldn't cheat and refute any suggestions I ever have. In fact that is just plain insulting to suggest I am a cheat. The linesman didn't appear to be cheating either.

You even admitted several times on the pitch.

Pardon me?? As if I would say anything of the sort you goose!

You were a joke and a disgrace.

Thankyou for the kind words, but I actually thought I did ok. So did eveyone else that I spoke to.

And the fact that ur c team loaded their squad makes it even more pharsical.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that was the C's, with one B Team player from last season that resumed training last week, and the other was another B Team player who was resuming, he was the big tall lad who had been out with illness for 2 or 3 weeks. And he came on as a sub for all of 1/2 an hour.

It's ppl like u who tarnish the SAASL...

I'd more be inclinded to suggest its PLAYERS like you that prevent people wanting to join up as REFEREES

Honeslty though, it was blatant to everyone on the park he had an agenda yesterday.

The only agenda I had yesterday was to referee at C Team match as well as I could.. and I did

He was calling everything with a green shade cloth over his eyes and he even admitted in the second half that the linesman in the first half was cheating.

Linesman cheating, yeh whatever mate, honestly why would any ref say such a thing during a match. And there is no green shade cloth at our club from memory.

Funny you mention about 'cleaning our back yard' - when we asked for a little bit of extra dirt to be put on your ground to cover an exposed sprinkler, your "saint robbie" was less than helpful. Thank goodness some of the other guys at your club recognised the danger of this and kindly brought some dirt over to cover it up.

Er - I went and got the groundsman prior to the match informing him of the issue you complained off and he fixed it up.

You guy have a great club, a great bunch of blokes - but its so disappointing when stacking and blatant cheating occurs.

We do have a great bunch of blokes and maintain a pretty good club. Its hard work, especially when people such as your good self come on here and slander it with false accusations - no doubt generated by a dose of sour grapes. Get over yourself you big sook

[Rexie]

Well said Robbo!

[Jay Walking]

said hello to you twice and thought you were pissed with me, red adidas jacket sunglasses..said hello start of the game when you were walking up the hill and after the game when you were doing the bins..you were squinting so do you need glasses

lol, der, wondering who that was

Sorry mate, Referee, BBQ, Crowd Controller, bloody home games, hate them, too much on my mind

well then maybe u should give up trying to be a ref bcz u r a disgrace. Blatant cheating today from you and your linesman in the c grade. You even admitted several times on the pitch.

I have never seen a ref make smug comments to opposition players, threaten players, disollow clear goals, call players offside when they r clearly onside and refuse to even book a player for punching one of ours bcz u didn't see it, even though u were looking straight it!!

You were a joke and a disgrace.

And the fact that ur c team loaded their squad makes it even more pharsical. When ur so called c team bench player gets subbed on and asks 'which way r we kicking', then u can imagine.

It's ppl like u who tarnish the SAASL...

Wow, I can't actually believe I'm reading this. I'm normally diplomatic on here but lets see how I go.

Robbo, who has done every C team and Over 35's game this season refereeing and did most of it last year is hardly a cheat. I didn't think he did a great job against us against USC Lion but hey, he calls it as he sees it.

Robbo will respond to a play who abuses him. He will always tell a player what the foul was for, even if you agree with it or don't. When you abuse him, he will book you and as if he is going to admit he is cheating or threaten a player. That is a big accusation to make against him so I would be careful about what you are saying there because you would want to have some proof. I was on the field standing next to Robbo when your talented number 10 turned around and said, he just admitted cheating. Robbo said nothing of the sort, he heard what he wanted to hear. We all get frustrated when losing, but blaming the Robbo in that game is a joke. As for the yellow card, your Number 10 body checked our player late and knocked him over. He got up and pushed him away, never did he throw a punch and if you think he did, then your calling me a liar.

The goal over the line. Robbo was just about on the 18 yard box so it was difficult for him to see if the ball crossed the line. The keeper punched it on to the cross bar, it bounced and then he grabbed it quickly. I asked the linesman what he thought and he said it bounced on the line, not over it. Only one of our players who was on the 18 yard box thought it crossed the line. Robbo had to rely on what the linesman said and lets say he did get it wrong, he isn't perfect and it was hardly cheating.

Us stacking the team We had Graham play a half for us. He would of started but was running late so he came on after 20 mins. He hasn't played for the B's in 3 weeks. Keepy the Centre Half hasn't played in 12 weeks and played for us in the C's earilier in the year. We were missing 7 players who were playing in the C's from the start of the year. I'll even name them and show you our team sheets from the year to prove it. I even had one of our Over 35's players sitting on the bench plus I only played 20 mins to give some of our other guys more game time. There was also a 16 year old and a guy in his first year of soccer. So yeah, we stacked our team full of A and B team players to win a game which meant nothing to the C's in terms of winning the leauge and risked the B's who can win the league and the A's who until yesterday, could of won the league. I can see your logic on why we did it though

Florina haven't had a great rep for referees or linesman either. I've never really had a problem there but we have all read about it on here. Azza actually did our C team game earlier in the year and did a great job and ran the line in the second half for you guys. Disappointing you come on here and slag us off and make yourself look silly but luckly there are plenty of other great people down and Florina that make up for it.

[Shaken not Stirred 2]

Well said Robbo, there is no way he cheats. Maybe you should put the whistle in your mouth and try it, you will quickly find out that no matter how fair you are, there will always be opposition players who will call you a cheat.

As for the stacking, are you serious!!!!! Our A's and B's where playing for possible league titles yesterday and we are going to stack our C's who have no chance (no disrespect to our C boys on the comment). Come on, you were out played by a better team, our C's changes every week and this week they were fortunate enough to have some better quality players back and play good football.

[Tony Adams]

not sure if u r the same fella who ref'd the c game v inter a few weeks ago but if u r i was the lad who had around 5 offsides called against and must admit i made it clear i thought u were wrong . hopefully if it was u, u may remember me.

during the game as mentioned i had multiple offsides against me, 2 were inside my own half with even more then 1 farm player saying i definatly wasnt. but when a linesman puts his flag up i suppose u have no choice. only 1 that i truly thought was a bad call was 1 where u were looking straight at me and i would of thought u would of seen me run past ur defender to collect the ball. u turned looked at ur linesman who hesitated before putting up the flag then blew for offside.... now please dont think im trying to soil ur name by my analysis here but my view on this events is BIAS as would of yours however hard u try not 2. as is almost ever club ref or linesman or player whether it b a lot or just perhaps a wrong decision from time2time. despite my disagreement on those decision (which for me were harder to swallow as not only were they against me but i disagreed) i thought u were a good ref 1 of the better ones in the c grade. whilst upset with calls made at least u stepped up for 90 mins as without u there would of been no game, and same goes with the linesman. u r not a professional ref so it would b unfair to expect perfection, same goes with every vlub ref and linesman. i like to win as does every player but when all is said and done id rather just be able 2 play the game (as anyone else who has been forced out for lengthy periods or even been told they'll never play again like me) and id rather a guy whi will at least try and let the game go ahead as opposed to no one and not playing ever.

if this was u i apologise for my reactions during the game as they were in the heat of the moment and not a true reflection on ur overall performance.

I'll take all of that on the chin bcz rightly or wrongly i started this but again i refute many of your lies in your abovementioned replies

1) To show how much you actually had no idea what was going on - Florina C's had four one-on-ones and many more clear cut opportunites than Farm. We just didnt take our chances, unlike Pierre and your boys who did. The 40 yard shot crossed the line when the Farm keeper fumbled it, a goal you and your linesman disallowed.

2) Do you deny making smart remarks to the Florina players, which in fact required the c team coach to sub one of his players off in order to calm him down after the things you said to him?

3) do you deny telling one of our players, 'this linesman doesnt cheat' when a new linesman took the flag in the secnond half, basically admitting that the linesman in the first half did cheat and then chasing that player after he suggested to you that you had indicated that the first linesman was a cheat

4) the only b player who you suggest was in the team (which by the way contradicts a previous post by a player from your club which said you had two b players in the squad) - did he not come on and ask you 'which way are we kicking?'. Sounds like loading to me... he wasnt there for the warm up, we counted you had 12 and then the coach asked for interchange because you had 4 on the bench

5) the player in our team who brought the Farm's attention to the exposed sprinkler brought it up with a supporter who went and got the groundsman, you were the last to the scene so please dont say you got the ground official bcz you did SFA about it.

Anyway, irrespective, Farm get the points and there is nothing that can be done about it now but its finally nice to see you actually talking things through with a Florina person today, compared to yesterday when whenever anyone tried to even talk to you you would threaten them with a sending off.

good luck for the rest of the season...

[lefty]

Theres no way in world that Farm stacked their C team if they had Townsend snr on the bench

By the way was Robbo wearing his Cargo shorts because I reckon they would be enough to upset any opposition player and cop abuse

[ontheblackburner]

Hi Jay,

Im happy to cop the shit im getting right now and fair enuf, i started this and im not gonna start slagging people.

I've read what you've written and i think its a fair summation from a Farm point of view. Everyone sees things differently, i appreciate that and i understand Robbo does a lot of hard work at your club.

Despite this, his performance yesterday was abismal - you mention the situation with the body check. I dont deny that happened, our player got booked. But then Robbo said clearly, 'the farm player didnt retaliate' before mumbling, '...and im glad he didnt' - y, bcz he would have been forced to take action. But by your own admission, he pushed our number ten and in fact he even raised an arm at him iirc.

Now in the first half, the C team coach was booked for pushing a Farm player out of his way, after the Farm player had body checked a Florina player. Now, can you see the dilema we experienced yesterday...

Robbo was not abused, he wouldnt even let us talk to him. Yet when one of the Farm players yelled at him and called him a 'f'ing so and so' - the cards stayed well placed within his pocket.

Anyway, i think ill put this to bed by saying this - i admit that my original post was very harsh, a post which i have already apologised about. I understand that you are going to take offense to what i have said and rightly so, you are defending one of your own and so i hope that this little 'dispute' doesnt affect Farm/Florina relations in the future...

Never argue with an idiot, because he will only bring you down to his level then beat you with experience

And this is the sort of stuff you were saying on the pitch yesterday which inflamed tensions...

Im happy to take shit from you Robbo because i put the hard word on you - ill accept that, smile and take it on the chin.

But dont act like you're smarter than me and that you know more about the game than me because you are sorely mistaken - just because u use a whistle during a game, doesnt make you knowledgable and it doesnt keep you away from scrutiny or judgement.

Your performance yesterday was a pharse - Farm probably would have one the game even if Mathew Breeze was the ref, im not disputing that - im saying your performance was a joke.

[Uncle Cracker]

Yeh well done to the Florina lads, good bunch of blokes - were too good in the 1st team today. Just about seals it for them..

A TEAM - Ingle Farm 2 Salisbury Florina 3
B TEAM - Ingle Farm 4 Salisbury Florina 0
C TEAM - Ingle Farm 2 Salisbury Florina 0

All games played in good spirit

Have to agree games played in good spirits, Well done to our boys, probably one of the best wins i've seen in a long time, boys done well defending in the 2nd half with farm coming down the hill with the wind. Have to mention big Chrissy Ennis a class above and true gentlemen came over to our boys and supporters after the game to congratulate us on our win( no Jay i wasnt trying to sign him up when you saw us talking outside i'll wait to after the season finishes ).

Big thanks to Jay and the club for the hospitality shown to us during and after the game, thanks for the beers.

All the best.

and im not gonna start slagging people.



Despite this, his performance yesterday was abismal -[/quote]



maybe if your performance was a bit better you wouldnt be writing such twaddle

[The Hofs 1899]

not sure if u r the same fella who ref'd the c game v inter a few weeks ago but if u r i was the lad who had around 5 offsides called against and must admit i made it clear i thought u were wrong . hopefully if it was u, u may remember me.

during the game as mentioned i had multiple offsides against me, 2 were inside my own half with even more then 1 farm player saying i definatly wasnt. but when a linesman puts his flag up i suppose u have no choice. only 1 that i truly thought was a bad call was 1 where u were looking straight at me and i would of thought u would of seen me run past ur defender to collect the ball. u turned looked at ur linesman who hesitated before putting up the flag then blew for offside.... now please dont think im trying to soil ur name by my analysis here but my view on this events is BIAS as would of yours however hard u try not 2. as is almost ever club ref or linesman or player whether it b a lot or just perhaps a wrong decision from time2time. despite my disagreement on those decision (which for me were harder to swallow as not only were they against me but i disagreed) i thought u were a good ref 1 of the better ones in the c grade. whilst upset with calls made at least u stepped up for 90 mins as without u there would of been no game, and same goes with the linesman. u r not a professional ref so it would b unfair to expect perfection, same goes with every vlub ref and linesman. i like to win as does every player but when all is said and done id rather just be able 2 play the game (as anyone else who has been forced out for lengthy periods or even been told they'll never play again like me) and id rather a guy whi will at least try and let the game go ahead as opposed to no one and not playing ever.

if this was u i apologise for my reactions during the game as they were in the heat of the moment and not a true reflection on ur overall performance.[/quote]

You see it at the top levels of football, Premier League or A-League where attackers are so shocked or can't beleive they were offside and would swear on their kids life that were onside, but a tv replay will usually show they were clearly offside. When my players get called offside and i'm in a position to see that they are in an offside position, i'll tell them to shut up, your offside get on with the game but unfortunatly some players won't even listen to their own teammates.

As for Florina it is disguisting the way your players (c team) talk to the refs, esspecially to your own ref when you play at home, I have no respect for teams like that. And for the game Florina player terrible, had some chances but were beaten by a better team on the day. The only thing that was stacked on sunday were my pancakes for breakfast

come on the USC Lion african boys

[emirates01]

robbo is not a cheat, never has been and never will be. its sad that comments coming from florina on here today are taking the gloss off of what was a great win for there first team yesterday.get over it mate and move on.congratulations to azza , lucky and the boys

[chemical brother]

Robbo's not a cheat jusy a w an ker he just cant see the right decision accept the fact that there are club ref's that find it hard to make a decision against their own club. robbo's one
maybe ile do the c's in a couple of weeks lets see if those apples float

[coutinho10]

cmon lay off robbo power just got humiliated on saturday..

[ontheblackburner]

Just for the record don't blame Florina for my comments. I don't speak on behalf of the whole club, these are my sentiments. I've said it numerous times that I'm happy to take shit from everyone on here for my posts and this us what a forum is all about.

But plz don't attach my thoughts to the club. I'm expressing a personal view.

Your a member of your club, you play for your club and you write about your club on a public fourm with your clubs badge on your profile then you represent your club. Can you at least admit that your team played poorly.

Yes we played poorly, we played our worst game in 10 weeks. I know that, the lads know that. I never said it was the refs fault we lost - if you track back and look at what i've said, at no point do i shy away from our bad effort. I simply stated that the ref was no good. In fact i did say that we would have probably lost even if Mathew Breeze was the ref...

As far as your other point, you are incorrect. My sentiments are independant of the club. They are exclusivly mine and at no point do i write on my clubs behalf.

10 minutes later - Farm corner, terrific volley by the Farm player 2-0.

It was actually a left footed half volley on the turn.

As for the Florina C's I spoke to a couple of them near the BBQ after the match and they admitted they were beaten by the better team on the day. In my opinion I think Robbo did a good job officiating the game. There were some calls which didn't go Florina's way AND Farm's way - that's football.

That's my 2 cents.

[general]

Self imposed.

So we win and faaark up Athelstone?

What am I missing here? Aren't you boys struggling for numbers atm? If so, aren't you just making it worse for your team?

Joksimovic, kresovic, prso, travica, miky levic, all quality out 4 year

5 reserves in that have not trained in 3 years. so it is a fair call. The defence is still solid and midfield okay but no attacking power.

the fact that 8 others are injured from a's and b's has made it tough. but we should have no excuses and win away in the derby. the two teams that play soccer will fight out a tough hard game.

B's will be interesting with a depleted team. they keep winning with a terrible team so anything is possible.

prediction A's Beograd 2.0, Beograd B's 2.2

c u sunday fukn. i may even play.

Make sure we play on the big pitch. closer to the changerooms

[redbluewhite]

see i have a problem, lol, ill be the first to admit it, its called confidence, well honestly over confidence, but thats y im called tickets cause i always got tickets on ma self, but in sayin that, i set my self targets that always seem above me because i perform better. this next 2 weeks are gonna be massive n hopefulli i and the boys can finish off well, n then i can live up to all my talk next yr. i know all you boys see me as cocky n cabernet, yea i pretty much am, but next yr im gonna prove i aint talkin above my pay grade. n if i dnt i aint gonna complain when i get all the cabernet from u boys.
