Philheybrookbay Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Wasn’t pretty at Waterway today at times but as Dane put it, a win was a must today after midweek. Goals from Sam Hughes, Sam Davey on his home debut and Rubin Wilson Wellington were down to 10 for a straight red (cast iron) which became 9 for a sin bin and very briefly 8 due to injury. Ashes MOM Sam Leary. A tower in defence today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyberrygull Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 I was at the Buckland v Mousehole game today and fair play to the visitors.

Genuine question but are there many Cornish players that are good enough to play that standard of football? I don't know much about players and their geographic locations and I'm still relatively new to Cornish football but from what I understand Helston and Mousehole who are the county's western league teams do rely on players from that neck of the woods unless I'm mistaken which isn't unheard of.

Gary Hocking Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Buckland vs Mousehole was the epitome of “it’s a funny old game” today. For 55 minutes Mousehole were dreadful - couldn’t string two passes together, players arguing both with each other and with the bench, Tallan Mitchell *very* lucky still to be on the pitch thanks to some very charitable refereeing, and only the woodwork and dreadful finishing keeping the deficit to one rather than four. Then, out of nothing, the ball breaks on the halfway line, Mark Goldsworthy chases it down, sprints towards goal and beats the keeper one on one with the coolest of heads and a Van Basten-esque finish. Just a couple of minutes later Hayden Turner floats a hit-and-hope cross into the box and one of the Buckland centre halves, under no pressure whatsoever, heads into his own net. From that point on Mousehole did look like a team joint top of the table - two more great goals from Tallan and Hayden and a penalty also by Hayden, dominated possession, fortress-like at the back - but that was a 5-1 win that on another day could have been a 5-1 defeat. Official MOTM was Paulo Sousa who I agree had a solid game but personally would have given it to Jack Calver who dominated midfield throughout and never stopped running. We’ll need to be a lot better at home to Exmouth next week, but onwards we march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes... No one's stupid enough to think he plays for free but don't you think maybe.. For a player who has mainly operated in the peninsula league.... The lure of regular western league football at a decent ground...... Probably gets picked up by coach for half the away games...... Gets to be one of the main men...... Seems to like to be a leader for younger lads. Similarly.. Why do players play for Mousehole...... Cos its a well run club.... Not for the money..... But again those lads don't do it for free Players want to enjoy football regardless of an extra £50 here or there Marcus Grose, le boss and Stu B 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrummyBarry Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 In today's climate where just trying to live and get by sucks up all your wages, why are people getting on the backs of those that are playing for cash? £1.97 a litre of diesel. Electricity is almost doubled in price. Some of these guys have families to support so if they get offered £££'s to play, they're going to take it. And if they ask for more and get it, well done them because at this moment in time it's so hard to live. This forum needs to get over the fact that players get paid because reverting back to players getting paid every single week is boring and frankly I'm sick of seeing it. The cost of living has skyrocketed so I say well done to the club's for throwing what could be a lifeline to some players Thecupfootballblogger, Paul, RAPPO and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know him personally but have watched him enough times to know he gives his all for the team. Yes he moans a bit but show me a player or more importantly a striker who didn’t moan. Don’t really care what he’s paid or if he’s paid, he’s not the only one in the league or the lower leagues. Good luck to him if it’s thousands like some imply on here lol. What is really pathetic is the clubs who come on here throwing the proverbial stones about it and other topics but do exactly the same. And I’m the one who needs to grow up??

sportsman10 Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 To be fair stu was the main man and scored a fair few important goals early in the season. It seem to go wrong when Massey took a step back and they decided to bring in Matt wright in Stu position. A completely wrong move in my opinion and disrupted the team . (I notice Tiverton have now gone on a bit of run since he left) things looked like have picked up . It can only be a good thing to have these Cornish teams battling in a higher league next season will be even better with Falmouth there . Imagine the crowds and build up to them games I think next season will be a true look at how the peninsula league will be getting left behind. all the eyes and focus will be on the western leagues and the players will want to be a part of it.

If not - why bother with the promotion/relegation concept? It’ll be goodbhowever when the relegation idea works better and the FA finally stop tinkering with things! With talk on whether players would want to travel despite it being a league up in the past, the concept of players wanting to play in the western league is a good thing for our area. Helps our clubs with profession too. With the location it’s been understandable if players and clubs have not wanted to go up. As a fan it’s nice clubs do go up, until this restructure though you almost need ambitions like Truro. I’ve enjoyed the games I’ve seen this season, there is a higher league feel to them. Hopefully it doesn’t leave the South Western league behind and helps other clubs progress. It can help other clubs compete for titles etc and join the South Western league. Another good result for Saltash yesterday. Enjoyable 3-1 win. Nice to see Stu posting, he seems to have been a leader down Helston this season and enjoyed the Western League. Good facilities and a thriving club it seems from afar and going earlier this season. It’s nice to see our sides doing well. Mousehole are on a roll. Could they win the title late on. The F troop joining and historic name town of Falmouth will be a nice addition. Quiet Man, Stu B, mattelot and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
