[Look Good In Leather]

The yetti was checking the BGrade results in the paper to see how Reynella was going. looks to me as if the b grade is worse than the A's as far as close results.

Morphett vale 24.29 to OSB/Lonsdale2.2
Flaggies 24.15 to Marion 0.1
Happy Valley 14.9 to E/town 3.4
Reynella 33.22 to Hackham 0.0
Brighton 25.20 to Aldinga 1.1

120.95 to 6.8

2 results not in the paper

The two missing:
Cove 19.15 to Port Noarlunga 4.0
Noarlunga 14.8 to Christies Beach 7.4

Perfect advertisement for the move to 2 divs at mvale on saturday. Cracking atmosphere before the b grade (no juniors), very little support staff for lonsdale (goal umpire for them was roughly 8 yrs old), 53 scoring shots against their b's, 59 against their a's and informed by a lion that some guys just simply did not want to play this week because it was against mv @ mv. None of this is the clubs fault because im sure the people that put their hands up do a sh!tload for the club, but it is hardly an appealing thought to be part of week in week out. A competitive game every week and a chance at success will be more appealing to be a part of, and i have no doubt the wheel will eventually turn and they would get their chance back in div 1 one day with a much stronger outfit. Even the top sides are finding it tough to keep their players, because the closer competition in other leagues is more appealing, so this is just not to do with the gap in scores each week, but more about creating an environment that players, coaches, support staff, supporters want to be part of.

Because on saturday at M Vale it was ordinary.

What a disgrace the SFL is becoming. Bad enough the scores between teams. Morphett Vale play a home game against Lonsdale and lose out on the gate and BBQ takings because their juniors are playing away at Happy Valley. Surely this should have been a Lonsdale home game and they dip out on takings. This week Lonsdale get a full compliment of games at home and reap the rewards from BBQ and gate even though they dont have any juniors playing. THE SFL need to address this situation, Morphett Vale get shafted for working hard and Lonsdale get rewarded with a full days football. Doesn't make sense to me. I am sure their are more examples of this.

It is a real problem with this league, Yetti.

Over the last few years, you will always get a strong showing in the A's and B's from Reynella, MV, Cove, Brighton and, generally, Happy Valley. You can add Edwardstown to that list from this year and last as well. Results generally go either way whenever these teams meet.

There are other teams who have enough talent to be reasonably competitive in the A's (i.e. average of 5 to 10 goal losses to the above teams) but don't have the depth to put up a consistent challenge in the B's e.g. Flagstaff, Porties, Noarlunga (although they look to be better this year). Wins for the above teams agains these teams can be anywhere from about 5 goals to 15 or so goals

Then there are the teams who are kind of competitive in the A's but really drop off in the B's e.g. Lonsdale, Mville Park, Marion. Certain victories for the first group above against these teams - at least 20 goals. Second tier would generally beat these teams by about 10 goals.

Rounding out the list are those teams who just can't compete in either grade e.g. Hackham and Aldinga. Guaranteed victories for groups 1 and 2 above of around 30 goals. Even the third level teams would beat them by about 10 goals.

We always look forward to playing one of the other teams in the top level because you get to genuinely test yourself. The games against the second level teams are also good value because they will challenge you but you will generally get them in the end. The games against the level three teams are not much fun and the Hackham and Aldinga games are just a waste of time.

so, SHOE BOY, by disguising EVERYTHING with honesty, it makes it alright to say, and can't be classed as degrading?

because there's a fair few people that could speak HONESTLY about you on here, and not only would i class it as (deservedly) degrading, but we'd all get kicked off the site.

wake up to yourself.

People can make remarks about clubs/games/players but we do not accept abuse of fellow posters on the site, that's the site rules, always has been, always will.
Play the football not the man people.
FFS its not like his comment about the Hawks versus whowever game was serious.
Some people need to wake up to themselves and it isn't Shoeboy.

wedgie, i hope as a moderator of the site, you're actually joking?

SHOE BOY reguarly tee's off on other people/clubs, and the repetetive nature of these comments suggests to me that he's more serious than you think he is.

People tee off on other people's clubs on all forums of this site, its a part of what footy's about.
And no, Im not joking, we don't accept personal abuse of fellow posters, end of story.
The shoes have copped a recent pasting but Shoeboy recently hasn't resorted to personally abusing people that make those comments.If it makes you feel any better I'm not a moderator of the site though.

i didnt say that shoeboy does attack people personally.

my agruement was that he believes he dosnt degrade people, that it shouldnt be confused with honesty.

so by him calling the 42 Hackham and Aldinga players, either mentally or physically retarded (which i believe is what you need to be toi qualify for the special Olympics), this isn't degrading? and is 100% fine because he calls it being "honest"?

geez, you wouldn't happen to have/had any ties with NFC or shoeboy that may have you wearing a slight shade of rose colored glasses?

yes, i'm all for being honest, which shoeboy is. that's fine by me, and should be fine by everyone.
but for him (and you) to try say his "honesty" makes it fine to call a couple teams of footy players retarded and it isn't degrading?

To The Cove Supporters or Players who racially Abused a 15yr old Pt. Noarlunga Player today....You are a Disgrace to yourself and your club........You not only shamed yourself, but also your club and i hope the Cove Football club throw the book at you. The sport does not need you and dare i say it.....neither does your club.

I hear that that the Porties officials had a word to the Cove Officials. The Cove Officials have given a commitment to the Porties Officials that they will deal with it. There was no official complaint as it was unsubstantiated who said what.

I think that Port Noarlunga should be looking at the disgraceful performance of their supporters at their tin shed on the boundary line. The abuse thrown at the Cove players at the interchange area was nothing short of disgraceful. How the SFL could allow this is just a joke. It was interesting that a high ranking current official was at the ground yesterday, Surely he will do something about this situation.

It was also noted that a former high ranking SFL official was among the noisy people at this shed. It was no more than a mob of piss pots out for an a piss up..

My understanding is that the Cove FC does not condone racial slurs towards players.

It will be interesting to see Porties response to the abuse from a mob of drunken supporters towards a the Cove A Grade players.

I would suggest they grow up. If this is the type of behavior we can expect from the Porties people, then it is time the SFL look else where for finals.

This group of people's behavior spoiled what was a great game of football.

Justice was served when the abuse thrown at Cove Number 5, when he became one of the driving forces in one of the best wins ever for the Cove FC,

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Porties past players and officials should grow up and not become ugly piss pots at the football.

The sale of beer in the shed at really cheap prices and urging to have another certainly doesn't amount to responsible service of alcohol. The club needs to have a really good look at this.

Fisho sounds like you have had way to many beers when writing your posts. How can you had sh#t on a club when your club has been totaly discraced on saturday. I,m not a brighton boy but I can't understand how these lower clubs supportters can give such opinions especially when your whole clubs score from every side for the day still wasn't enough to defeat brightons under 14s. Also seems like Aldinga should work on the goal kicking side of things as they only managed 50% efficientcy and I believe brightons was better. I don't normally sh#t can lower clubs but When supporters write sh#t like fisho did I believe people have the wright to. Fisho while you are helping the boys with the goal kicking teach them how to actualy win the ball first.
Well done brighton yesterday I was down that way for work a needed the footy fix so had a look at ya's and you looked good with a very even contribution across the ground.

I would say there is more chance of Dawn Fraser giving back her Olympic Golds Medals, than you not being a Brighton lad.....

If one of them is a poster on here (eg David Smith) and he says "David Smith, you are a retard", then it isn't acceptable.
What I would suggest is we leave this thread for footy and if people want more questions about how the site operates ask in the Feedback/Guidelines forum, only too happy to clarrify things further.

At no point did I refer to anyone as a retard,I made what some would find amusing as did I, and if any one was offended I appolagise for the comparison of the Aldinga Hackham game being not out of place in the special olympics.

Shit some how I still find that funny. Sorry

Vics01 your constant whinging about our juniors, or lack of Saturday juniors, is becoming very tiresome. As a club we have probably worked harder than any other over the last few years to get our juniors up and running. It started with the subbies and now we have been able to field the Sunday u14's thanks to quite a few private school kids playing. The truth is, we would have been able to field a Saturday u14's this season if it wasn't for another SFL club poaching many of our players with promises of AFL and SANFL 'talent scouts' watching them play.

Your comments above not only make us sound lazy and imply that we sponge off the hard work of other clubs, but also spit in the face of the many people at the Lonsdale/O'Sullivan Beach FC who have put in countless hours of hard work over the last 5 or so years to ensure that we have a junior program at all. As someone who is from a club that has had to work their way up, I thought you of all people would understand that as a club, we have to start somewhere. Your attitude towards us is definately not what anyone should expect from someone in such a high position within another footy club.

As for the gate takings, well I bet you are one of the many who park on Sherriffs Rd to avoid the $5 entry...

ok...so as i understand it, this is acceptable...

everyone that plays football at noarlunga are a bunch of ****** **** *** ******* *****

Not pot shotting your club in particular, just trying to work out the current reigning premiers misses out on a full day of footy. One would expect some reward for being the title holder.

Not picking on your junior program either, but if you have chip on the shoulder I can't do much about it.

Perhaps play several internal trials on the Sunday afternoon and charge to get in next time you play them.
