- That older bloke (ex skipper?) who bowls hand grenades and is deaf and blind, yet umpires the majority of the innings
- I dont think one player wore full whites to the gf, one guy was even wearing singlet and shorts
- Finally, not even caring enough to show up and claim the premiership trophy...
Yeah we did have 60 players, nobody, including myself could commit for the entire season, we still got 11 on the field eveyweek and still had 13 or so qualify for finals, I dont see why this is a big deal.
I havent had any problems with the oval, thats just a personal thing I guess.
Cant argue about the old bloke, but every team has one, everyone gets s***t decisions against them or not called when bowling, to say we do it more than any other team is laughable. We complain to each other about how we feel we get shafted most weeks.
Does wearing whites really matter in C grade? I personally wore them, but who cares if he was wearing shorts, it was 38 degrees and they were white, nit picking?
Nobody could collect the trophy as the footy club had a trail match on where practically everyone was involved.
I have spoken to other sides and they didnt seem to have a problem with us, could it be a case of sour grapes? Im assuming alot of this whinging is coming from Algate, now I wonder why that was? Complain about the game where a decision went against you. I personally didnt see it as I had been dismissed but our batsmen was convinced it was a bump ball.
That was also the game was it not where we allowed sub fielders for an "injured" player, didnt see any batsman limp off mind you. Pretty generous considering the sub fielders were B graders (?) and had been sinking piss all day. Oh well at least we proved 2 weeks later it was no fluke.
I personally dont have a problem with Algate, some guys in our team do, but not me, I actually was able to have a shuckle with a few of them, just shits me with whinges like this, where I think alot of it is sour grapes.
SO far you have had Mylor, Aldgate and Lofty players complain against you...
When we played Clarendon, the opening bat didnt even field, 6 blokes in shorts, its a competitive league not backyard social cricket, your stumps and matting was pulled from a musuem, you didnt have a ball when we played you so instead of delaying the game while you went to get it we offered to use our Tuff Pitch ball and we would use yours when it arrived, 2 overs in it arrives but is a Kooka Practice
you field a kid as a sub which we agreed to and then 30 overs in the Capt asks me if he can bowl and they will name him and bat him in their line up, I agreed, of course the openeing bat arrives and duely pads up and wins the game for you and the kid never batted, when we were fielding abuse was coming from yoru players the whole 40 overs.....want me to go on?You said you had 60 players during the year but couldnt organise 1 of them to turn up and get the flag and trophy? you said you had a footy trial, at 8pm on a Sunday night?
So what are you going to do when asked by the HCA to step up to B grade?
but that was approved by the association?
