r_and_l Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 St Agnes lost 5-0 to mullion, Aggie were the more likely to score in the opening exchanges. But failed to use the abundance of pace up front to any worthwhile advantage. Some speculative efforts beat stand in keeper and manager Rhydian Purnell who did his best on what was a tough afternoon for him. Older statesman Dan Otoole completely dominated the mullion left winger in the first half and continued to impress in the second half. Dan Kim had another solid game in the middle of the park. Logan Capeling was impressive in everything he did again. Sadly mullion made the most of their opportunities and deservedly took all the points. A special word for Harvey Andrew’s who left clifden park with a broken leg. But then the ref Ian Roberts said he is known for diving so this unfortunate incident didn’t result in a deserving penalty.

Dave, notice how that muppet hasn't mentioned Utd had a couple in today too, or that we've had to face Western League & SWPL players regularly in the past - but never complained. He also didn't mention that Reece didn't play at all first half, I played my youngsters and we went in half time 1-0 up! He obviously is fine when they do it but doesn't like it the other way round - I've said many times I'd be more than happy to scrap dual registrations but now got to the point where I think to myself other teams do it regularly so why shouldn't we if we need to. Reece played all his youth for me then started adult football with us at 16 and always said he wanted to play for me again and we were struggling today with a lot of injuries so why not? I can tell you this, they definitely would've used him if he'd been available for them... I mean if one man can beat a full team of 11 in only 45 mins as he's suggesting maybe he should be directing criticism elsewhere... 11 minutes ago, Byron10 said: Just a shambles to be honest 😂 have no issues with teams using within the club like liskeard have been doing and obviously we do as and when needed as that’s how good clubs work.

We haven't played a higher level player for three years until last week, I was more than confident we could win this morning before he spoke to me - I haven't used one higher level player for any of our success these past few seasons when we've constantly come up against teams that have used them against us - including you, so why shouldn't I use one or two when I'm struggling for players? Especially when they started with me? Are you saying you can do it, other teams can do it but we're not allowed? I tell you what, If you can promise never to use a higher level player again at St Piran level then I'll do the same - how about that?

They won't come on here and praise us when we don't use them, they won't come on here and criticise their own clubs or other clubs when they do use them but they are quick to criticise us - why's that?

I didn't know either wanted to play this morning - like I've said, before this month I haven't used higher level league players in three years but most of my team from last year have either prioritised work or gone up a league or two off the back of what they achieved with us and we've got a big injury list. 2 players on the bench today were not fit so yes I used them just like EVERY other team has done regularly - why haven't you ever called them out?

I've actually had Reece available twice before this season for two very big games but told him I wasn't going to play him and used the 16 year old lads that are in their first season of adult football - as I have had Joe & Henry available but if my regular lads are available they play - but now I've told you that will anyone bang on about whether I've done the right thing? No they won't - but we will continue to come up against teams that do it to us and don't get criticised.

Both are eligible and will probably be available for the semi final yes but as anyone who knows me will tell you, if I have some more regular players back from injury I won't use them, if I don't haven't players back then yes I will - because every other manager would do the same. We've gone out of more than one cup in the last few years to teams that have had two western league lads playing and on one occasion with more than that because the weather had cancelled out the 21 day rule allowing more than two but don't remember anyone criticising those teams...

Decent enough reply but football is a matter of opinions I guess and just think calling Reece in regardless if hes “ local, played for me when he was 16 bla bla “ plays 4/5 leagues higher than St Piran is just a little over the top in my opinion and ruins the game a little and I’ve heard from mates who were watching he played whole 2nd half and contributed quite a bit which would 100% have an impact on the result.

Luke Gibbons Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 All within the rules of the game/competition so no complaints surely (I actually think Borough have submitted a potential rule change which I will support for the coming seasons reading senior players from outside of a Club)? I did laugh as Henry and Reece are both signed for Saltash United in the Western League so there could've been the possibility to sign them across the Club when they were with them full time earlier in the season.

Strange thing is they keep saying we couldn't have beaten Saltash without his 45 minute appearance (where he did play well yes but the whole team were much better after half time and were just as much - a few lads even more responsible for the win) yet when you beat the better more dominant team in this league this season St Dominick in the previous round without using any higher level players (yes I had availability then too but didn't bring them in as I didn't have the injuries I had yesterday) they don't say anything? - I had players in their first season of adult football playing in that match but no positive comments came our way then - looking at previous posts and from what I've now been told that pair just seem to like coming on here slagging off other teams from behind a keyboard but never commenting the other way. I'm presuming both must've there yesterday as they seem to know so much about how the game went and who played well etc yet neither put these comments to me in person - which I'm told they never seem to do but I'm more than happy to carry the conversation on face to face next time they're at one of our games.

Marksy Senior Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 St Day 2-2 Porthleven Fair result in the end Port definitely edged the first half with the wind slightly in there favour , thought considering the conditions of the pitch which also had an under 14s game played earlier on it just how good it held up excellent job by the ground staff. Port probably, no definitely unlucky not to be leading by a goal at half time but 0-0 it was . Second half started brightly enough for the Saints who scored from a decent corner for a flick on for Sam Buckley ( I swear I heard him say feed the bear 🐻 and I will score 🤣🤣) Bear he’s more of a stick insect 🐜 🤣🤣 Goal for Sam all the same though St Day 1-0 Port should of dropped there heads shouldn’t they 😳 St Day league leaders unbeaten , not a chance with Port straight out the blocks & still threatening St Days goal they not only deserved the equaliser they then went in front & with 10 or so left St Day for the first time looked a little vulnerable. A nice shot made a great save from the Port keeper with maybe 5 mins left & the resulting corner very well placed again resulted in Saints equaliser & I personally think a draw in the end was a fair result . Not sure when Port last played but Saints needed to play after a 4-5 weeks absence & it showed . Two games with Porthleven two 2-2 draws & on both occasions about the right result . In my opinion Port definitely got some quality younger players in that team & id like to see them finish the season well.

teflon123 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Every team/manager does it because they want to win. Any Manager that tells you they bring players in from a higher league for any other reason than wanting to win a football game is not being honest. Winning football matches is what it's all about, none of this giving players a run-out, one club, injury crisis rubbish, players that play higher are brought in for one reason, to win games. Until a rule is brought in whereby players can only play for one club, it has to be accepted and people have to deal with it.

The Badger Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Callington 3 - 1 North Petherwin Petherwin Scorer: Sanders 85th Min Agreed to play on the 3G in Callington with earlier KO of 12.15 to get a game on vs having another week off, great decision that 😂 Game started pretty even with both teams adjusting to the smaller 3G and surface. Unfortunately for us we lost two players in quick succession to injury from the 20th - 30th minute in Westlake and skipper Reeve both with big presence in the air and physicality. From here Callington became dominant especially with Rhys Lindsell puling the strings in midfield and in the introduction of 1st team striker Kev McCallion whos physicality and experience helped the other youthful forwards. We had a good chance just before halftime when Sanders was put through on goal but he didn't really test the keeper as he hit it straight at him from 15 yards. ht 0-0. Second half and we just didn't turn up until the last 15mins, we were second to everything, not calm on the ball and the young Callington team grew in confidence and took a deserved lead. we went on to concede 3 and to be honest all of them we defended poorly for and were just to easy to beat. We rallied and put Callington under pressure for the last 15mins but simply gave ourselves to much to do. Sanders rounded the keeper for our only goal after some nice play in the midfield he then went on to hit the cross bar shortly after but the ball bounced the wrong side of the line. Callington deserved the 3 points based on the 2nd half display. Rhys Lindsell impressed me a lot and can see why at a young age is playing with their 1s and is a player to watch out for over the next few years.

Until a rule is brought in whereby players can only play for one club, it has to be accepted and people have to deal with it. Winning is totally the main reason why teams play senior players. you can gloss it over with bring young players on etc. but surely a club would gradually advance players and give game time higher up. I understand that clubs with more than one team might use a 2nd team to bring a player back from injury but let’s be honest. Clubs that have multiple teams take advantage of the rules and play senior players to win games and secure their team in that division. St Colomb and Looe (my team) both were punished by senior players playing in their recent games against Liskeard. Both our Looe games were lost (5-1 & 9-2) and a total 14 goal scored against us, 10 came from senior players. I will add that Liskeard have done nothing wrong as its with in the rules but is it fair, personally i don't think so. Our position in the league isn't down to Liskeard, that's down to us and our performances this season. But when you have a team who's morale is low and then they know senior players are playing, their heads drop. We're trying our best to motivate the lads to turn up and play but losing so heavily is a kick in the teeth. I'd imagine St Colomb losing 13-2 will have a massive impact on that team. I know they are trying to rebuild and keep the club going and a result like that doesn't help. anyhow, this is purely my own opinion and i doubt it will make any difference or bring any changes to the rules.

Not much wrong with it in isolation, IE someone returning from injury or a case of unavailability within the squad that particular game. However, Liskeard have 24pts, with only 4pts coming without a 1st Team player involved. That's where the "fairness" can be questioned as they may be in a relegation scrap without them, with recent scalps against Looe, Roche and St Columb possibly pivotal, neither of which have the same luxury. But if I was Liskeard, I wouldn't care much either. They have lads like Max and Ben who have played across all their sides for years and clearly love the club and the game. Huge assets from leading players. The side of the fence you sit on is individual to your own club's circumstance. Dave Deacon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the weather has intensified things and maybe that needs addressing in the rules. Liskeard are trying to win the SWPL so getting minutes into legs of players who will be driving this is important and why they have a second team as well. With that though they will also need to balance those 2nd team players making way and potential consequences. With the push of playing for 1 team in St Pirans its making things difficult for the smaller clubs. I have a horrible feeling the continued move towards this will impact many more further.

I did laugh as Henry and Reece are both signed for Saltash United in the Western League so there could've been the possibility to sign them across the Club when they were with them full time earlier in the season. Congratulations Kev, possibly more silverware this season. Obviously doing something right at Borough. I think we need to becareful here, for example why shouldn't a senior player who plays for a club with one team be allowed to play elsewhere, all of this is designed to make the bigger clubs better and stronger. if that's the case why dont we just create a reserve league Edited March 20 by The Badger unneeded word which caused confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, our first team are involved in a title race, and having a 56 day gap between games isn’t ideal. Nobodies fault, but not ideal, hopefully it’s not the sign of things to come, I’m hoping this winter is unprecedented, but who knows? Our youngsters totally understand, they’ve all thoroughly enjoyed being able to play alongside our First team players, who have also been superb with their encouragement and talking on the pitch. As Callum said above in this thread, they just want to help the club move forward, Max,Ben etc have all been offered to play higher this season but i think they also appreciate the young talent we have and are happy to play with them and personally its really shown what a great captain and role model Max has become this season.

LeeMann Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 If you look at every team in this league apart from a couple they all use SWPL players, the difference between them and liskeard, we aren’t playing any players who play for a different SWPL team YET. also the funny thing about it is the teams crying about it are the ones that do it aswell. Same as boscastle the other night crying about it but have done the same this season and had a SWPL playing against us, same as when we played Polperro in a friendly the other week because cam Paterson and Jayden Gilbert haven’t played for a while they played them as they wanted minutes and it was nice to see our young players challenging better players. I am sure when we play Nanpean on Saturday they will have a couple so what that’s football. stop crying. Well done to Saltash Borough BTW great win, saltash crying about Reece and Henry but play Ben Walters and Ryan Knight who I believe are at Holsworthy and dobwalls ?

dave bunt Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 There is a rule that teams should not weaken or strengthen their teams in a promotion or relegation game. Liskeard's last 3 games have been against teams that could get relegated. I've never seen this rule implemented as I suppose most games could come into this category.

dave bunt Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 I stand corrected, this rule only applies Iin a one off game if both teams involved have an identical record. Sorry for any confusion. Dave Deacon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
