Spuds have only got themselves to blame though, its not like we appealed andd got them thrown out. Although as has been pointed out by others I am sure the media would make hay with it.
please log in to view this image It does look like a great little ground PMK. If it could attract a decent crowd, it should give the lads some great experience!
Yeah Chris,it was only opened about 3 weeks ago and your right we have a lot of support in the St Helens area.
Nice! Should be a great game as well with both sides playing some quality football and good players on both sides.
Borrell's NextGen pride. Great to see the lads get 3rd place! It's been a good tournament for the lads and it's been good to watch. Hopefully we can do a bit better next season!
As if Inter Milan, the team we (Spurs) beat 7-1 away in the first game of the tournament, have gone on to win the thing! Shows how costly our admin cock up was to us! That means we were the only unbeaten team in the tournament..
You never beat us at the Lane under the rules of the competition. Therefore playing those players helped you get a result you never deserved and you lost in reality,we came 3rd legit and Spurs came nowhere also legit. Thats life mate.
Talk about scraping the barrel!! We played two UNDER-AGE players - is that not giving you an advantage FFS? Not like we dressed Luka Modric up in make up and played him CM!
You broke the rules pure and simple,the result did'nt stand as a win for Spurs. Now if this was in reverse would you be as quick saying we deserved our 'win' even though we accidently cheated against Spurs? Or would you point out that we didn't in fact win because we broke the rules of the tournament?
We didn't cheat. Cheating: To act dishonestly in order to gain an advantage - we didn't act dishonestly because we didn't know we were doing anything wrong. Neither did we gain an advantage, because we played two under-age players, thus actually giving us a disadvantage. Had it been the other way round, and we'd lost 1-0 then say we'd gone on to win it, I certainly wouldn't claim to be the only unbeaten team in the competition, because we would have lost to you. I would also have said you deserved your win, though I'd expect you to have been ejected from the competition, in the same way I accepted the decision to remove us from the competition.
What dont you get? I pointed out that you 'accidently' cheated. Playing underage players is within the rules but overage players isn't. Therefore the game and result were null and void so you did'nt beat us. Its not rocket science mate.
Thank you for just proving my point then? The game is null and void - therefore we didn't lose either and we were the only unbeaten team in the competition. It's easy having an argument when the other person backs up your point.
What other person? Ffs talk about clutching at straws. Tell you what why not start a petition to give spurs a little cup for going unbeaten. Happy now.
I heard Rio Ferdinand was unbeaten for 8 months after his ban for missing a drugs test. Just a rumour like.
You. I'll leave that to you. No I'm fine thanks. Not really sure what point you are making here. It was just a comment I made in passing, which you have taken an objection too, despite you just admitting it was correct. I've been happy the whole time.
we legitimately got through to the semi Why not post your whinge on your own board lad? Scared you'll get laughed at maybe?
