Guest WendronSun Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Shortlanesend 2 Wendron 1 Getting closer to some points for our boys I think, a good game of football played in a good spirit and some good grub in the pub afterwards, thanks Shortlanesend for that. We're a new side but we're proving hard to beat which is encouraging especially as we're getting by with the bare eleven the last two weeks...

oldasitgets Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Crowntown played with 10 men. Maybe the match report from Mpad would have been a little more balanced if they'd mentioned it. Badly let down by several who were "really keen to play." but decided on the day they just couldn't be bothered. I know we should know better by now, but you just tend to believe people when they say they're definitely going to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mean to be rude or disrespectful here but I honestly don't think an extra player for Crowntown would have made an awful lot of difference. The gulf in class between the two sides was evident and even if it had been 11 against 11 I feel Mpad would have come out clear and comprehensive winners.

oldasitgets Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Thank you Titus. That makes us feel a lot better. Of course, if we'd played with 15, you would have still stuffed us by loads of goals. I meant to add that. I did hear somewhere that it's harder to play against 10 men.

matchu78 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I think the poblem a lot of sides are having which I raised at the agm is the KO times, at 10.30 half of the players haven't been to bed yet or have only had a couple of hours at most, also any one who works in a nightclub or bar will struggle to get to the games especially if they are away!! I would bet that if Ko was at 12 or even 11.30 a few more of the likely lads would make it and people could still get back for sunday lunch.

cockerkneeboy Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Luch what is Luch, Looks to me like your either very tired from a lack of sleep or you have had a couple to many sherberts even for that time of the day (Maybe you just got home?) And there was me thinking that Sunday morning football was all about blowing out the cobwebs of the night before and finishing the game just in time to go back on the pop again (If that’s your thing?) :drink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheart Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Well put cockerkneeboy i couldn't agree more. Sunday football has been going long enough now with the same kick off times so using 10.30 kick off as an excuse is poor as all signed players are aware of the kick off time especially as most players are not in their first season most have been playing at least a couple. Waking up with a hangover and getting on with it and sweating that crap out from the night b4 is fine, I have done it enough times myself now and yet still show week in week out. :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retired for now Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Thank you Titus. That makes us feel a lot better. Of course, if we'd played with 15, you would have still stuffed us by loads of goals. I meant to add that. I did hear somewhere that it's harder to play against 10 men. Isn't it odd how you can, for some indiscernible reason, really dislike someone you may not have even met? I am sure that crowntown having 11 players on sunday wouldnt have made much difference to the scoreline but didnt get much satisfaction from seeing the goals going in as have been on the recieving end in plenty of games like that over the last 17/18 years of sunday footy. infact 1st season nearly every game was like that. crowntown having something close to there 1st 11 may have been a close game. hope the people that have let crowntown down so far by not playing soon pull there finger out. having said that well done to those who did play right to the final whistle and some seemed to even almost enjoy it. Have to say i didnt at all for reasons as stated above. cant get any satisfaction from winning 15-0 against a much weakened side. hope to have a much more competitive game at ur place, just make sure whatever, the team keeps going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm...i dont know about that, i think any team in the league still has a good chance, as you say a long way to go yet? I think the key is to have players in your team that commit week in, week out. I think that with a full strengh team, Storm are one of the best sides in the league but look whats happened out there when players dont show and those that do are hanging out of their backsides from the night before!!! :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we didn't play very well at all, and even if we had 11 you still would have won... but it was the first game for a number of the players. I played Duchy 2 all of last season... and could more than hold my own in your side... I actually think I was one of the better players on the pitch that day... you only had about 15 chances and they all went in. Seeing as your so much better than us, when we next play maybe you should play with 8 men all playing out of position, because it wont matter as we're the worst team you've ever played against.

Titus Bramble Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 The best Crowntown player was the young lad on the wing with the long hair and I honestly don't think he would get into the Mpad side. What position were you playing Woodmanaldo? I think the return game will be interesting if Crowntown has as many players to return as they say. Mpad also have players who can step in and strengthen the side. As far as players playing out of position goes I was forced to play at Right Back, even though I usually play as a very attacking minded winger I wasn't troubled by either the winger or the full back at any stage and felt very comfortable marking both players when needed to. If a team has players good enough it doesn't matter where they play. The fact is Mpad were, on the day, far superior in every position and totally dominated Crowntown from start to finish. We thoroughly deserved the win and I feel confident that we can repeat the performance in the reverse fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not content with a convincing win, that's two of them that have to justify it and imply that, somehow, they were even better than the result suggests. How sad. How ungracious, how arrogant. And this one didn't even notice that the CAPS LOCK is on! Or is he shouting for effect? Maybe he didn't see Mpad a few years ago. They may not have been worse, but, at times it was a very close run thing. I don't recall anyone finding it necessary to slag off a struggling team then. Maybe counselling will help.

A One And A Six Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I dont know why some of you MPad lads feel the need to slag off Crowntown, they've always been a decent and well-run side in the Sunday League, it just looks likes they've fallen on some hard times but im sure they will turn it around. Fortunes can change very quickly in football, i can rememeber a couple of seasons ago when i played for The Oxford, Crowntown absoultely walked Division 2, whereas MPad were easily one of the worst teams in the league, on the recieving end of a high-scoring hammering every week.

jobysdad Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yeah, well said both Bill and 1 and a 6. Having played in this league a few years I've been on my fair share of hidings and also handed a few out. I've got nothing but respect for a team who keep trying for the whole 90 mins no matter what the score. I'm sure Crowntown will get it sorted, hopefully in time for the return match v Mpad .

lionheart Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I dont want to get involved with the bickering here but to big yourself up so early on in a season with one good result is hardly anyway to go I guess the real challenge lies in being able to acheive results week in week out and to be honest a win is a win and to be as gracious in winning as much as holding your head high when losing. The only impression i get from these comments is your making all other teams in this league more determined to beat you and then rub your own noses in your own making, good luck with that one. :clapper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you were disappointed at only winning 15-0... clearly something like 367-0 would have been a better reflection on the gulf in the class between the two sides... all of your side needs to take a good hard look at themselves if you can only beat the worst team you've ever played against at any level that only had 10 players 15-0... it's a good job you've players to come back so you can strengthen your team.

Titus Bramble Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 We're delighted with 15-0, 3 points is what we aim for every week and 3 points is what we got. I think it is the Crowntown players who need to take a look at themselves, afterall it was your team that was let down by players. Mpad has a sloid base of players that can be called upon and we don't struggle to field a team.

Crowntown is rebuilding after losing virtually the whole of the squad to Troon's new Combination side. The only thing that's not negotiable is the sporting attitude of its players. If ANY of my players had said or written anything like you two, about a team that they'd beaten (and in some seasons we have won games comfortably.) they would have been in trouble. I just don't want, or need, club members who can't win without gloating. I know it's early in the season, and I hate to mention this, but which team is bottom of the sporting marks for the entire Sunday League?(Ans Mpad). Which team is top? Need I say it?

I agree with Lionheart. I think every team in the league will be looking forward to playing MPad now soley to shut them up. ( Apart from Shortlanesend. Who have allready beaten them this season!) I too can remember playing Crowntown a few years back when they walked Div 2. Some of the players are still there i think. There a good bunch of lads who will bounce back i'm sure. :c: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishteddyboy Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 The wonderful thing about Sunday football or even the Combo, Duchy, Fal/Hel or Mining Leagues is one week your team gets hammered and the next you thrash another.

As for Crowntown I know what it's like to struggle to get a team together, as well as be let down be players last minute. They've been a good team before and they have stuffed us in the past.

Guest Postie Pidge Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 From a personal opinion, I'm embarrassed that anyone can get any enjoyment from winning 15-0 and then to really gloat about it. Crowntown did the decent thing by turning up short - many teams would have cried off but they played the full 90 minutes without arguing or falling out. Teams that make the effort deserve praise not to be slagged off. I've been on the wrong end of several heavy defeats and nothing feels worse but to have gloating like that doesn't do anyone any good. Top marks to Crowntown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pexbo Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Ok, I played in this game for Crowntown and I'd just like to make a few points to those players that are shamelessly gloating about beating us 15-0. 1. This is amateur football. The bottom division of Sunday League in Cornwall. It's pretty much the worst standard of football in the country. But it's supposed to be fun, I don't turn up every week thinking I'm going to win, I turn up everyweek to kick a ball about, keep my fitness up, have a bit of fun and shake hands at the end of the game. Did I enjoy getting beaten 15-0? Yes. Not because we lost 15-0 but because I got 90 minutes of football had a good kick about and felt good after 90 minutes of running around. 2. The result reflected the difference between the team but there were two main reasons the balance was tipped in your favour; 1, We had a new Goalkeeper who was quite frankly awful, I take my hat off to him for coming along and playing with us and if he turns up this coming sunday I will happily play with him again and give him more encouragement, but he was pretty much the sole reason for 10 or so of your goals. His mobility/lack of experience meant that he was nowhere near half of them, he comically gifted you two goals and his appalling kicks and throws into dangerous areas or in lots of cases straight to your strikers or wingers cost us countless goals. Added to this the fact we had 1 striker due to the lack of an 11th man meant your centrebacks were comfortable all game and able to push up and support your midfield while your fullbacks attacked often, safe in the knowledge we couldnt get men forward. 3. We lost 8 players last season to combination football, we had a good side which would have at easily challenged you and would in all fairness have beaten you. Last season we drew 2-2 with you and would have won but for a freak own goal, we controlled the game comfortably and you never looked like winning. 4. So where do you pick up after losing 8 players? Well if any of the comments during the game and on here would have you believe then we should have folded as club after 20 odd years and left the remaining players on a limb. It's obviously not worth playing if you don't have a team that can win a game. 5. We had 13 first thing that morning and we let down by 3, leaving us 10 players. Rather than letting down the 14 or so players that turned up for you, we made a sporting decision to try our best and give you a game. After the unsporting comments on here I'm wondering why we bothered. I'd just like to reiterate again, this is the lowest standard of football you can play, if your not happy that your opposition isn't up to your standard **** OFF AND PLAY IN ANOTHER LEAGUE.

(I don't think Mpad are shining examples of quality) I'm not sure, whatever I may have thought, that I'd have been quite so critical of an individual player in print. If I didn't write it, can I second it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retired for now Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 what the hell, ill second it haha. as for the standard of teams and players i thought myself i had a great game only missing 2 open goals!!!! one which was sent about 100yards over the bar from 6yards out!!!! sorry didnt like to remind people of that but thought id add something a little more light hearted. thank god cudlip is making me look good...sorry mike, only joking...yes u have scored more than me (as apparently we arent counting friendlies!!!)
