what are you doing mate answering my posts?

Hey AD thats not my comment thats some other W ANCHOR commenting on our post and i have reported him to a moderator.

Straight Talker / letsbehonest..... i always get confused between the two......

Lets hope we hear something today about the Nystar sponsorship issue. The existing fixture has game scheduled at Port Oval which may not be played there in the event there is no ball sponsorship.

Its the Fuchs / Tiller Shield this week in the Props v Risdon A grade match on Sunday, but Risdon have been decimated by a footy trip unfortunately.
Could be Props' 13th or 14th straight win in the shield match.

[Student]

who knows? I dont think any of us know. we train wednesday night so hopefully someone lets us know then. It was a really good effort by our young kids last week only just being beaten by a risdon side that many on this forumn are saying will win the flag.

Lbh your club hasn't appeared to recruit any older guys to help these kids out, the team I saw on the weekend seemed to be very young. Might need to get a few of the guys from the Bgrade to play in the As for the clubs sake. Wouldn't want to see any young players turning away from the game after getting rolled for very low scores each week. However the bowling will be very good in the future, swing bowling will worry the best batsmen.


I know Props play Risdon in the A grade for the shield, Risdon should be putting a very strong team out there this week.

In the Bgrade Risdon play Sollies....Risdon would have to be favourites after Sollies lost to Port Germein. However who knows what the teams will look like this week.

Meant to be a bit of rain around this weekend too, Southport wont be playing then.

yes you are correct we were hoping to still have davis and williams etc: even though davis told us he was going to retire we thought we could get him playing. we will get better thats for sure.
Did you give any thought to my previous post? PS: i think both teams scores were pretty ordinary and if you dont mind me saying i didnt think risdons side looked that strong even if you include twigden and johnson. I mean i know they will make your side stronger but to challenge props, wandies and south port i think you will struggle.

what are you doing mate answering my posts?

Pure gold. Is that letsbestraight or honest talker?
But wait up one is Sollies and the other Props?
Does answer a lot of other questions though!

Straight Talker / letsbehonest..... i always get confused between the two......

Its hard, he even gets them mixed up!

[Dirk Tazelaar]

Didn't Straight Talker claim to be a 6-time Wandearah premiership player in the previous Pirie cricket thread?

[letsbehonest]

i know who i am student you freak. obviously there is some trouble making w anchor stirring the pot again. if you go check some of straight talkers posts you will know he is a pot stirrer and trouble maker. I am a solly cricketer let me assure you of that and i can not control what other people write. so carry on and start talking some cricket sense.

[Squids]

Are you playing this week lbh? and what grade?

[letsbehonest]

Are you playing this week lbh? and what grade?

No i wont be playing for some time now as i have a crook knee and need a bit of work done on it. i would only be a statue if i was to play. And i am only a B grader when i do play.

ive only just joined but have read all the shall i call it stuff on this cricket forumn and a lot of it is obviously tongue in cheek sort of stuff. i dont really follow any cricket side but i enjoy watching all types of cricket and sport in general. I admit i do follow port footy club in Port Pirie and have for many years so please people dont hold that against me. I cant see what all the fuss is about from both sides about playing cricket at this ground and that ground, obviously clubs are worrying about their own sponsorship deals that they have going on. I agree with what was posted earlier why cant the port footy oval just host the clubs that are sponsored by us and if the others dont want to play there well fine they just miss out on playing on our lovely oval. It is that simple. If we carry on as well are we any better than the clubs that dont want to play at our oval? Are the clubs that we sponsor any better than the clubs that dont want to play there as obviously they are worried they could lose the sponsorship we give them? Just some thoughts from an old fart who has taken an interest in this sporting forumn and hopefully anything i say might have some merit.
Any thoughts?

Can you believe this bloke. He's got a third alias. Give it up your a tool.
What will happen is this thread will be shut down like the Ben Brown one you started and no one will be able to have a decent chat about Pirie cricket.

[the bearded wonder]

And for what its worth. If there's a problem with playing on Port oval its simple to work it out. The two home clubs play there home games there and away games at the other venues and vice versa the teams that don't want to play there only play away games there. Simple logic I would have thought.

[justgetonwithit]

Excuse me but i have no idea what you people are talking about? I have had to wait to be able to sign in to this forumn and i post 1 comment and am now getting sledged? Well that just goes to show the immaturity of the people on this site and probably the reason why the P.P.C.A is in all sorts of trouble. For what it is worth to you lot i will no longer even bother to read or post comments to your childish rubbish. GROW UP.

For what it is worth The Bearded Wonder i do not even know Ben Brown so i think you might like to make sure you know what you are posting before you start sledging a man. You are obviously a very immature man that needs to do a touch of growing up. GOODBYE.

Lets all hope this rain goes away.

My tips for this weekend


Champions League
Port Germein v Warnertown I think Warnertown have too much depth here.
Strykers v Props Bit of an upset but Strykers have some quality in their team
Wandearah v Southport Wandearah wont be having 3 Agraders this week
Sollies v Risdon Risdon should be too strong in all departments

IPL
Southport v Wandearah Lots of squids on footy trip, Southport in with a shot

Props v Risdon Hard to go against Props, quality side, this match is much like master v apprentice.

Are you casting Dirk T in the ''Master" role and Brad Pine as the "apprentice"?

[Squids]

Yes, if the game is called off, it will an Iron Chef challenge, the dish to be prepared is Gator Gumbo.

[letsbehonest]

there will surely be no games this weekend as we have certainly had more rain today than last week? The complex wickets will be drenched and unless they have replaced the dirt alongside the globe oval pitch with lovely green grass they certainly wont be able to play there.

[Squids]

Got a report from a mate that the outfields are all nice and dry but the pitches are soaked....who knows a bit of work in the morning and there might be games on but that is unlikely. Don't sollies have gas powered brooms?

Realistically though Agrade sunday is going to be the only game this weekend.

[whichgrade]

wow the pitch at complex 1 was deemed to 'unsafe' to play on yet somehow the pitch on complex 2 is fine to play on, go figure. the words soft **** comes to mind

[Squids]

If you don't want to play cricket then why rock up?

I guess Sollies and Holly got the result they wanted.

[PPLions]

What a disappointing outcome at Complex 1 this morning.
Clearly due to the rain all matting pitches in Port Pirie were wet this morning.
However Risdon used brooms to clear excess water off the pitch at Complex 1. Usually both clubs make an effort to do that bit in this morning's game at Complex 1 it was only Risdon which did this.
The game at Complex 2 was played with the consent of the Umpire after both teams agreed to play.
The game at the Globe was played with the consent of the Umpire after both teams agreed to play.
For some reason, despite the fact that the game at Complex 2 proceeded, (I would have thought that pitch was in the same state as the pitch at Complex 1) and against the wishes of Risdon who were prepared to play, the Umpire officiating at Complex 1 called the game off.
With all the effort clubs make to train in the pre-season, recruit players, organise equipment, attract sponsorship, it amazes me that some Clubs dont actually seem very keen to play cricket. Lets be honest, its very disappointing.

[Squids]

I can't understand what you are saying, all I know is Risdon clearly stated at the beginning of last season that we would struggle for players and for us to be double up. This was all fine until Lenny Starke had a cry at a meeting and got our points taken away. From then on no one at Risdon really knew the rule, no one did. Enough about that I have a premiership medal and am very confident in getting a second this year.

I believe it was only props. I believe here it is PROPS sooking, find new ways to make cash and get on with it.

whatever you risdon clown, you wont win anything. All i know is we have enough money with our main man martlew sponsoring us at the sporty tavern so maybe your club will support us and come drink at our sponsors pub? I was told there was five clubs that were prepared not to play at ports? FIVE CLUBS OUT OF EIGHT and i honestly beleive that they want to get everything sorted so they can get on with playing cricket. So stop blaming us and props i would say.
Not hard to understand the rules as they are all there in black and white for everyone to read or cant you read?
END of story i am sick of trying to explain everything to you as you are obviously lacking a little bit of nous.

Your mob wont win a thing if you are scared to get on the park.
