The new ref, Roman (I think)
If rumors going around are true shame shame Mr Mills
So I get to the field to find out that our Semi final Pakenham Cup game is being played on a practice pitch...You know the fields you warm up on before playing your games at Gates..Ya the ones with the turf in the keeper box area and the sand mounds and mudd filled lines..the same field where the goal posts lean 3 to 4 inches into the field...
I ask Bob the coach of Pt Moody when he found out we were playing on this crap and he says to me`just like you..when I got here`
3 years of playing POCO at Gates and NEVER have we ever played on this Practice Pitch. How were we to know.
I then think to myself..holy shti how many of my guys have proper boots with them..
To late everyone is pullin up and only 2 guys have thier other boots in the car...
Panic sets in and the expected running around phoneing friends in the area to borrow boots and even 3 guys from Moody lent thier wet sweaty boots to 3 of our guys..How fun to play in those...And thank you 3 moody guys for sure.
Still the panic threw us off the game for sure and the majority of players played in turf shoes on grass...
Not to mention we never see grass ,so a heads up not just so we can bring proper boots but so we could train a day or 2 on grass to prepair for this very important game would have been nice...
I mean you would think that with all the emails sent out this week to remind teams of makeup games and what not, a little heads up to let the teams know that your playing on grass would have been a given...I mean Am I wrong here but turf and grass are different right ..I mean enough to at least tell a team so they can bring proper boots to play in..
The President of the league should be proud of his elite teams and should want them all to play on EVEN playing fields or so you would think...
SO WHY THE FUKC WERE WE NOT TOLD ABOUT WHERE WE WERE PLAYING.
I know why and so does everyone else...
Good luck PAU I hope you can pull out the win and make the BCs..your on a roll and are peekin at the right time..And Beating POCO to get there would be the Karma TM deserves..
