I think you will find they are full sized mate

 

[hasbeen]

There have been six-a-sides with full size goals before ... but played on a full size pitch. This would be the only comp in the world using half a pitch and full size goals ....

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Johnno]

Does anyone know if its still on today? Its overcast and little bit of rain. I reckon its still on but its Pluim park.

 

[Sym]

Good luck all
especially the terriors : )
and anyone against Greggo

 

[Johnno]

Alcohooligans won 7-4 i think. I was a freak in goals and the score could have been much worse.

What about others in the Championship div?

Spartak slumped to a shock 5-3 defeat to the Red Devils.

Are we the Gold Coast in disguise? Actually, Red Devils are a pretty handy young side

1) Why shock defeat?
2) that team will lose half their players (due to being underage). I assume it is the red devils. From my knowledge 2 teams have been told that half their players are ineligible to play.
One is the team that flogged Ballastic Terriers
The Red Devils had at least 1 u16 player (i think 3-4)...
My team's 9th player (whom I was holding out the press release ) will have to be replaced.
It was going to be Radinho!

Our 'high profile' player. Someone with talent & flair. Someone who has known status on these forums! And someone with more talent on the ball than I could ever wish to have!
He will probably own up to it (You better not!)
Name will be kept under wraps until clearance is given by CCF!

Such a shame!

forfeit - 3 points please

 

[Kareem]

forfeit - 3 points please

thats going to be debatable...
Because IMHO its a CCF stuffup. They did not state it on rules. Especially because 15 yr olds were allowed to last year...(actually contributed to change in rules).
Good luck in your quest for 3 points, but the fact they were allowed to play (even though their DOB's were clearly on the form) isnt the Red Devils fault...
Personally i think the two teams should be offerred to leave the comp (with their $800 back).
I know the team that beat Ted's team in div3- they are a father son team- the dads wont want to play if their sons arent!

 

[marinermick]

irons kills lions lost 7-6

good match but we squandered too many chances

4 goals to bear, 1 to sacko and 1 to myself (though i did chip a midget)

 

[FFC Mariner]

The same CCF who banked the $$ but werent able to organise the match balls? The CCF who's idea of laying new turf is simply to bung it down over the old grass?

I take your point

 

[Ted]

Personally it was great to have a run, but to lose 12-1 as a team sucked. As Kareem pointed out, the team we played had 6 x 16A players and 3 x O35s with only 1 x O35 on the pitch during the game at any given time it seemed. No wonder we got hammered.

Players must be turning 17 years to be eligible to play....

 

[Kareem]

Bears last goal was an absolute cracker!
It's replaying in my head as I am typing this...WOW!
Bear should retire now...enough said!

it was a spectacular goal, but we don't want it all to go to his head, sackos goal was very good too

 

[Kareem]

i dont mind...Bear will try and replicate it for the rest of the season- won't happen , lightning never strikes twice!

I thought every team was being supplied a match ball to use for the duration of the comp? Good start by the CCF (Cash Collected Fervently) ... 

 

[FFC Mariner]

Apparently we are....................

The actual buying of them in time for the start of the comp seems to have been an issue
