I've heard it all.

Well done to the breakers who went down to second placed Hawks 1-0. Those southern boys are going to get a win very soon.

Cheers Danzo, we have a lot of young lads that try every week and are playing good soccer/football and it would be nice to get a win on the board for their morale.

Yes, was a good game by the Breakers, one of our toughest games although we were missing 6 of our better players. The Breakers dominated the second half in all three games but were very unlucky losing all of them...but 15 of our players paid our dues by staying overnight and spending quite a fortune on food and alcohol at Victor...cheers!

But...lets hope the Breakers hit top form when they play Torrens Valley in the last round clash...c'mon Beakers, do it for the Hawkies!!!

Iggies vs. Torrens Valley is the key match...if the Iggies can defeat TV then TV vs. Hawks could decide the championship...although if Iggies and the Hawks defeat TV then the title match will be Hawks vs. Iggies....that is IF the 3 teams win all remaining games....too many IF's but that's what makes it an interesting season...

Breakers informed one of us at their ground that they intended to forfeit the last round match against Torrens Valley. Hopefully Comets can take points off of TV when they play them in consecutive weeks over the next fortnight.

Otherwise, I suggest that our E Grade and the MA Hawks C Grade beat them when they both play against them in a few weeks!

That's pretty poor.

Do you know a Vipers result for the weekend?

[Kitchimo]

On the SAASL site.

Had to refresh to get it to come up.

Did the Breakers give a reason?

[danzo]

Their other teams might be fighting a relegation battle that day so they are going to go support them.
C'mon Breakers, go get some points off TV in the last match of the year.

Couldn't they just postpone the game to a later date?

[Dad's Army]

It's a pretty poor excuse. If you put a team in you should fulfill or your fixtures.

If they postpone the game we would all go and support them!!!!!!! It would be huge. We could also offer to transfer some players for the week to ensure victory. lol.

[Lucky4some]

To beat TV just get someone to run with the young African striker, no one else has a good shot.

No, they should play it on the scheduled day or before the final round of matches.

Thanks for those kind words Bodo, yes we "INTEND" playing the last game of the season against Torrens Valley.
But in case you are unaware we are in a tight battle for relegation and both other games are at Pooraka, which we intended getting a bus for.
Also the Torrens Valley game is at 3pm too so we may just struggle for numbers, so that was the comment I believe was made.
We also struggle some weeks with numbers and have to play reserves in the C's due to injuries work committments etc, etc. which I am not making any complaints about but just stating the facts.
I suppose I could change clubs like you do (3 clubs in 2 seasons) but I am committed to my club and helping young players coming through.
Todays game versus Monarchs was postponed by them at 9am this morning, with the caller stating the pitch was unplayable, well we could only get messages to half the team in time with the other half rolling up for a game, and everyone that was there saying the pitch was okay, so I have contacted Bill Bailey who is looking into the matter now.
Also regarding forfeits, we have now had 2 late forfeits against us this season (today and the Friday before we were supposed to play Flinders) and 2 late forfeits last season against us, so we know how unfair it is.
Anyway we will try and beat Torrens Valley for you but maybe do yourself a favour and beat them yourself if you want to be the Champions.
My tip for the title is Hawks, they are the best and most consistent team we have played thus far.

Personally I don't care who wins the league.

I don't agree with the 3:00pm kick offs. If Torrens Valley wanted to maintain 3:00pm kick offs they should have been left in division four and not moved to division six.

Games being postponed for weather/unplayable surfaces is a hard one to call. Last seaon we had a game abandoned at Mount Barker and then I did the bolt back to Cowandilla to play in the B's fixture and the weather was fine. We got lucky because we were losing the abandoned match, but won the replay comfortably.

Chances are (and this is only my speculation) that with Monarch's other teams out of the cup (or possibly away from home) they may have considered it not worth the effort setting up a ground in poor conditions for one game. As you say BB may look into it, but the league has to also take into account not lining up c team matches with a's and b's. The other thing is Monarchs play at Grange where there are three or so pitches. They may only be allowed to use one of those which may have been unplayable.

I know the Flinders game was sprung on you at the last minute so there's not much you really could have done about it. I think you organized to move you may 8th fixture with Iggies to coincide with the a's and b's only to reneg on it the day before.

Flinders 0 Vipers 1......Our 2nd win of the season ....What a gale it was down south, tough conditions to play in.

[samtronno]

Last weeks TV vs FC Adelaide rescheduled to Sat 07/08, after being postponed due to bad pitch conditions.

[darkknight]

in reference to the Monarchs postponing the match, it was not due to the pitch being unplayable - but the conditions of the weather. We had 3 players go there at 9 in the morning - to which they advised the conditions of the weather was terrible - and could possibly cause considerable injury. I know half the players were disappointed in the delayed game - but in the interest of safety this call was made early to try to avoid any of the southern breaker players making the trip down - otherwise for a local club we would have waited to later.

Thanks for clearing that up Darkknight, but unfortunately half our team rocked up due to us not being able to contact them and as I said the pitch was ok and obviously it was very windy there. But we now have a few players a bit ticked off with the late call made, as you can well understand. Anyay see you next week at Port Elliot.

called off because of the weather

you have to be kidding me, was it a bit windy and rainy for you. Seriously, it's a winter sport.

[Steve#4]

Couldn't have been any worse wind wise than what we copped at Flinders..... :? :?
