ease up champ- the wolves pitch isnt better out of the clubs still playing on the real stuff. weve had some heavy usage and the rain over the past month hasnt helped us one little bit, especially when we still play our youth and sap on the amin field unlike some clubs.

At least they have a pitch that isn't plastic :-&

well technically......

The stats on the NSWPL website make for some interesting reading. If you only read this forum, you'd think that the poor old Spartans were constantly targetted and bullied by other teams. I recall batfink calling BWE, United and Olympic quite rough in the past

However, according to the stats on the NSWPL website, the Spartans are by far the dirtiest side if you take cards as an indicator

40 yellows, 7 reds. That's the most yellow cards (only APIA match that with the next closes side being Manly on 35) as well as the most reds (4 is the next closest)

Don't take this personally Batfink. It's nothing about your lad himself but about the style fartans play. More a reflection of the coaching style being applied.

My opinion of watching NSWPL sides is that fartans play a local park scrapper type game. Punt it up in the mixer and hope for scrappy goals. This is evident if you watch all the goals fartans score. There is nothing constructive about their gameplay. I cannot stand watching a fartans game. It's just plain horrible to watch.

Blacktown City on the other hand, slick, stylish, constructive, fluent. Good coaching and stylishly appointed ;)

don't agree.....i must say Ben DeHaan has had his work cut out this year....with a huge turnover of players through injury.....and natural attrition....

what a load of crap....some of their play is excellent they have rarely had the same team on the park this season.....huge changes from game to game....trust me i have watched all the games this year and there have been a few really ugly games but 50% have been class...especially the ones where we are down a player......


don't listen to our friend above he is just a shit stirrer......once Ben has a core squad from this year going through to next year you will see big changes.......

if you keep arse licking at city you just might get a chance there....;)

means nothing......most cards are dished out for retaliating so i defend the players for showing some grit......

pretty safe to say that the refereeing is not up to scratch.......

the interesting reading is when you players act like halfwitts at ovals and abuse spectators and have idea about acting professional.....;) ;)

keep fishing mate....your going to have to do better than that.....](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

Right, so when a Spartans player retaliates it's "showing grit". Personally, I'd call it unprofessional.

I'm not fishing mate. Just stating facts. 40 yellows, 7 reds.

Are you claiming that all those reds are for retaliation? Whichever way you look at it, sounds like there's a disciplinary problem over at the Spartans.

From recent match reports:

Kato sent off in the shadows of the break for a reckless late challenge on Themba Muata-Marlow

Zac Freeburn needlessly take out a Wolves defender deep in the opposition’s own half

Doesnt sound like retaliation to me.

You must be watching a different game. Fartans are bloody horrible. I'd rather eat glass than pay to watch them. In fact they should pay me to attend their matches. Will raise the IQ of the overall spectator by 100 points :p

I don't arse lick. Your confusing me with Olympic fans. Wait for it.....

Is that where I went wrong? I should of jizzed on Schembri's face a few times :-k

Ah well history now old fella :lol:

your appraisal is inaccurate......but hey your a city man and can't get past it...even though they fucked your arse.......like i have said the spartans have scored some great goals and CAN play some decent football....to be honest hasn't been as much as they would like this year heaps of turmoil......

and for you to lay shit on De haan a city prodigy smacks of hypocrisy.......

tell me how many matched have you seen????? 1 - 2 ???????

say what you like...it won't bother me.....your nobody....with nothing meaningful to say......

unprofessional is your players showing private parts and abusing spectators.......and you have the hide to question or pass comments on others.....put your bib on you dribbling moron....

yep that goals was shit.....

without rooney and the jap guy they have nothing........

Now your getting desperate batfink. Pulling a goal from round 10 by Luke Austin who played for city last season and went AWOL mid season.

Now come on mate. Who's kissing butt now? If de haan bent over I'd bet he would have your lipstick all over his arse. Not doing a bad job of kissing butt yourself old mate.

City never fucked us over. My lad was simply not good enough. The proof of that was he was rejected by around 7 clubs and 2 of those were NSWPL2 sides. They can't all be wrong. We were just grateful for the time he did spend at city last season and they put up with us all year.

Indeed Rooney and Miya are excellent players. No disputing that. But by the same token without saliadarre saving fartans butts week in week out you guys would get pumped by 10 goals every week. You cannot dispute that fact.

I don't disagree. Very unprofessional, not once have I disagreed with that. Then again, I don't run around claiming every side we play is rough/dirty or that we're angels

What am I "dribbling" about?

I've stated facts - Spartans have by far the most yellow and red cards in the league.

Don't shoot the messenger

a ha....hook line and sinker mullet man.......\:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/

to be honest with you there are games i shake my head and wonder what they are doing....but to fair they have had massive player changes this year, which happens alot at growing clubs, they just need to settle on a core group of players and build around them.......this appears to be happening for the season coming as some of the playing group are talking terms for next season....very unstable this season with player turnover injuries and suspensions......

anyway there is always next week...;) ;) and if the city boys are so fluent and classy we must have a great future considering you are only 6 point up on us with the season we have had.....;) ;) :cool: :cool:

keep smiling Len.....and keep that sense of humour ......nothing like a bit of shit flinging mate......:-" :-" :-"

that record only means you guys are better at professional fouls and getting away with them......pretty evident from when we played you last.......

statistics also show that in western Sydney there are more shootings than in any other city....so i assume you are walking around with a gun.....

Batfink,

Of course you shake your head and wonder wtf...Rubbish is as rubbish does gump man ;)

Fartans are local park scrappers and until this changes finals footy is many years away.

6 points? More like 6 points and 60 years difference :)

sorry don't agree......but that's ok....i reckon the only team who plays quality football in the NSWPL1 is sutherland to be honest......

That's a crap analogy and you actually prove my point with it. Stats show that there are many shootings in Sydney, this makes Sydney the worst city in Australia for gun crime. No question there

Stats show that the Spartans the most yellow and red cards, by far. Therefore, we can conclude that they're the dirtiest team in the same way that Sydney is the most dangerous city

We're not talking 1 or 2 cards, we're talking about 3 more red cards than the next closes club. They've also got significantly more yellows than everyone other than APIA.

Not rocket science. But feel free to blame the refs, other players, other clubs, opposition fans etc. Everyone but your own players and coaching staff. Keep pointing the finger at other teams too, if it helps you sleep at night

Yellow cards don't always equal dirty play....!! most of the reds have been 2 yellows for dissent......so that's not dirty it's ill disciplined but not dirty.....

If you take Austin and Kondek out of the equation there is litte to complain about......but hey knock yourself out.....;)

1 pt behind Bonny with a game in hand. Coming home with a wet sail.

Massive game against Sutherland next week. A win puts us back in the Premiership race

LG back. Tomic, Yuichi and Stama back soon. Triantis finally showing some form, Mileski getting better, Pava stepping up, Haydar plugging the gaps at the back, Tricky pulling the strings...

I'm starting to get quietly optimistic... although I should know better after supporting the club for the last 20 years :lol:

That's not all that is wet atm by the sounds of it.

Come on Batfink!!

The difference between City and Fartans is a massive class factor.

If you read the trial forms for both clubs Question 15 on the forms,

For city it asks "Does your mum work at Hooters and have a modelling contract?"

For Fartans it asks" Does your mum have all her teeth, flat top head and is 3ft tall? If so what days does she put her dole form in"

A win against Sutho and we have the chance to go just a point behind then if we win our game in hand.

Like you said though, trying not to be to optimistic, been burned to many times :lol:

that's so pathetic it's not worthy of a response

well it doesn't hurt to dream......Sutherland are playing great football this season that's for sure.....best of luck with that....a win over them would be a great result........and a game in hand can be the death card so don't rely on it....

But you did respond :lol:
