Props made 172, pitch must of been doing all sorts at Complex 2.

[Squids]

Question, do Southports imports get paid even if they don't play? Because from what I hear they want the cash for doing nothing. Just get out there and play, if you lose big deal, its only a game. If you don't want to play don't go out there and lets someone who wants to play, play.

[PPLions]

Props did well to get 172 on a pitch that would have been very similar to the "unplayable" Complex 1 pitch.
Well done Props.

[Squids]

To be fair though PPLions the field was half the size of my backyard.

[bigstack]

If you don't want to play cricket then why rock up?

I guess Sollies and Holly got the result they wanted.

Why are you taking a potshot at Sollies and Holly? I'm sure Sollies would have played if the game had gone ahead. If Holly was the umpire then he is in charge, if he decides the pitch/oval is unsafe then he has a duty of care to call the game off. Insurance matters would probably be a concern as well. Well done Holly you did your job properly. Why didn't the A Grade go ahead? Turf would have been out i assume. Did they go to a hard wicket? If they didn't play at Complex 1 maybe Holly's decision is justified. Was the Globe available?

[Squids]

Well if Complex 2 can have a game why can't complex 1? I know Risdon were willing to sign forms saying the oval was in a condition to play. Sollies were the only team this morning who didn't want to play cricket, the umpire didn't look interested at all (THE UMPIRE COULD HAVE ALL CONSULTED RISDON, BUT DECIDED TO CALL IT OFF WHILE SITTING WITH SOLLIES) . Piss poor for Sollies this morning, they didn't even try and get the pitch in a decent condition to play, they were very happy to take the half points. I bet if they were playing a lesser team they would be doing anything they could to play.

I think once again Southport did not want to play cricket while the other team did, this was a Wandies team with a lot of players out as well.

So you were at the game big stack and you know that the right decision made?
And if it was in the interest of safety why was hollys beloved props allowed to play on an identical pitch less than 100 meters away?

I don't have to be at the ground to know the umpires are in charge of the game and if the umpire thinks the ground or pitch is not suitable to play on then it's his call. What happened on the other pitch is the responsibility of the umpire in charge of that game, it has nothing to do with holly. Again, why didn't the A Grade play at either the Complex or the Globe? You are bringing personalities into it, suggesting holly had an ulterior motive. Why not judge the two A Grade umpires the same way? Why not have a shot at the officials as well, surely they were at the grounds? If you are correct, why didn't they overrule holly?

[letsbehonest]

my club wont win anything,well you may be correct but i can tell you something you risdon bigshot at least we will be respected and abide by the rules of the ppca and abide by the umpires rulings. Your B grade side are nothing but a bunch of bigmouth clowns. Your side is the most hated in the comp and it aint cos you went top last year its because of your smartass attitude and the disrespect you show the rest of us B grade sides. You have said yous dont whinge well i think you better go check all your risdon posts about pitches and a certain umpire and our B grade team.? DONT WHINGE? BULLSHIT. Maybe you all should whinge about some of the serious things that has gone on so far this season and if your delegate tells you everything well id gather he would of told you some of them? But you lot wouldnt because you all have the guts of a garfish. All you mob can do is sling shit at Holly and our club. HARD BASTARDS HEY?

The gutless ridon pathetic pricks wont stand up and say anything. They are a bunch of suckholes. BUT THEY DONT WHINGE DO THEY? JUST ANOTHER THING THAT RISDONS DONT UNDERSTAND is that the UMPIRES are there to rule if a venue is unsafe or safe to play on. Maybe instead of talking about snitzels and JOOBS cheese and carrot they should read and understand the rules that ALL clubs are bound by!

[letsbehonest]

just cos you swept a bit of water off the top of the pitch doesnt mean it was dry does it? complex 2 pitch could sit higher than complex number 1 pitch so maybe it would hold
less water so have a think about things before you compare them. PLAYING A LESSER TEAM I THINK YOU HAD BETTER GET OFF YOURSELVES.

yeh so why was it ok to play on the other pitch? and why werent we offered the choice to play on pirie west oval, i beleive its available now?

we played on globe last week and then the a grade got cancelled, did the b grade umpire make the wrong decision?

why not try and have a game, bowl a few overs and see how it goes, the pitch wasnt slippery?

it just didnt look good that 1 game goes ahead and 100 meters away the game is abandoned!!!

You are bringing personalities into it, suggesting holly had an ulterior motive. Why not judge the two A Grade umpires the same way? Why not have a shot at the officials as well, surely they were at the grounds? If you are correct, why didn't they overrule holly?

and why was holly heard at the lions rooms on friday night saying that if any of the risdon players get hit on the pads he's gonna fire them?


and if you want to discuss it further come out to one of our games and have a chat ill say anything in person that ive said on here, or are you the gutless one!!!

Ill start off by saying this bigmouth not 1 person in your side would worry me one little bit because apart from nath jeffries yous are all pretty ordinary people who would not have a heart between the lot of ys! Now i dont know what holly said at the clubrooms friday night but why dont you go ask him? Im guessing he may have been having a joke with cornflour or somebody like that. The B grade umpire obviously made the wrong decision last week or did he make the correct one and the A grade umpire make the incorrect 1? I dont know. As for Pirie west i also dont know but im sure your club would be aware of what is available if things like this happen? The question was asked earlier but none have you have answered was there a member of the ppca exec at the ground at all today or last week and what did they have to say? I also note the A grade game went to complex 1 but also deemed it to wet so i would say the correct call was made this morning or was the A grade umpire wrong? you tell us knowall.

you tell me? like i asked was there any members of the ppca exec there? They could of made a decision i suppose. These are things that are happening in ppca at the moment and no one seems to have a clue whats going on. Maybe your club could bring some of these things up at the monthly meeting, but then you would be labelled whingers right? so ys wont.

maybe the 5 clubs that are kicking up a fuss about playing on port could all tuffen up and play there and let the ppca worry about actually getting games of cricket played

now you are being silly. i fail to see what that issue has anything to do with certain games not being played last week or today? Now i gather you dont really know anything about the questions i put to you earlier?

[Squids]

my club wont win anything,well you may be correct but i can tell you something you risdon bigshot at least we will be respected and abide by the rules of the ppca and abide by the umpires rulings.

But you lot wouldnt because you all have the guts of a garfish. All you mob can do is sling shit at Holly and our club. HARD BASTARDS HEY?

Disrespect? How come the premiers are never picked to win in the paper? How come clubs purely vote against double up rules just to hope we can't put a side on the park. But yeah we whinge because we want to play. You clearly were not at the game so you don't know what happened. So you really cant comment. I just love how umpires sit with the opposing team and make decisions without even consulting the other team. The constitution said you can leave it till an hour and a half to start play. That didn't happen this morning. Yep we will sling shit with our premiership medals.

Yeah we might be bigmouth clowns but why is it every time we open our mouths, the wickets start to tumble?

ok i will ask holly when i see him tomorrow,no it wasnt congdon he was talking to (you do guess alot of stuff)

the b grade umpire indeed made the right decision, the a grade umpires just called the game off and were driving out of globe oval before the b graders, they didnt wait the hour and a half

yes we were aware pirie west oval but forgot about it til it was too late as we havent used it for years

yes i did see rod gordan there today

the a grade i cant comment on because i wasnt there

[Squids]

Whichgrade made a good point.

I agree with you though LBH no one knows whats going on, so where are the members of the association? They should be out there on days like this to make decisions. Either everyone plays or no one plays. There would be no complaining then.

However, I still think that teams should at least look interested in playing.
