Dave / Richard - just put £25 in the pot, keep up the great work, without you guys local football would have no ‘voice’

I went to the Co-Op today and bought a pack of Stallone Scones  apparently they are the best ting since Sly's bread .
 Afterwards I went to the pet shop and asked to buy 12 bees the shopkeeper said " certainly " and counted them out ,I said  " there's 13 in there I only wanted 12 , he said " the other one is a free bee "
From there I went to the pharmacy , I'd never seen the woman behind the counter in there before I said " what gets rid of Corona Virus ?" she said " ammonia cleaner " I said " I'm dreadfully sorry I thought you were the sales assistant "
Our local vicar was unwell so his wife took Donald Trumps advice and injected him with Domestos , she's now  in custody charged with  Bleach of the Priest .
Social distancing is very difficult in our village supermarket because it's so small in fact it's Lidl .
I keep dreaming I'm a horse , I wake up in a sweat panicing , it's happened 5 nights on the trot .
I've switched all the labels on my wife's spice jars in her spice rack . She doesn't realise her Thyme is Cummin .
I went to the doctors I said " It's strange I keeping thinking I'm Mickey Mouse then I fall over " He said  " I  think you must be having Disney spells " He said " is that all ?" I said " no there is one other thing  I keep thinking I'm a goat " He said " really how long have you felt like that ? " I said since I was a kid "
My cousin has worked in Asda for years , he's worked in the fabric softener aisle  all that while but they've moved him to frozen goods . He said " I really hate it I feel out of my Comfort Zone " 
He is so distressed over it he went to the doctor about the stress he was feeling . The doctor said " drink  a glass of wine after a hot bath " . My cousin said "  Jesus Christ , a glass of wine ? I'm going to struggle to drink the bath water let alone a glass of wine "
Next door has lost her job , she was a dermatologist with the NHS  she got handed her  E45 today .
Sorry I know they are pathetic .
 
 

hoppit - you are of course right and safety of everyone comes first and cannot be ignored. I think we are all just missing local football so much - and hopefully enjoy the more, once we can spectate, together, again. In that context I hope Mark Smith will do well along with any new coaches / managers taking on the reigns - it is a big step as finances and egos often dictate squads  - but I believe Mark is setting off from a good footing - he built a ‘team’ with St Austell Reserves, and from rumour is looking to do the same with the firsts - looking at players based on skill and ability - and perhaps not just ‘reputation’.  Good luck to all - and keep safe

Slightly contentious and not a personal view, but if Jeff can get away with the Vicar joke...........
 
Hours after the end of the world, a border dispute emerged between heaven and hell. God invited the devil for conversations to find a way to resolve this dispute quickly. Satan, the devil, proposed a soccer game between heaven and hell.
God, always fair, told the devil, "The heat must be affecting your brain, the game would be so one sided, don't you know all the 'good' players go to heaven?"
The devil, smiling, responded "Yeah, but we've got all the refs'..."

A man visits his local zoo, for the first time.  He walks around the zoo and it was completely empty, except for one enclosure  with a dog in it.
  
It was a shitzu

To be honest, up until yesterday I was thinking whether postponing local matches would really do anything to stop this spreading - however I heard a health expert (not a politician) saying ‘don’t think about trying not to catch the virus, think you have it already and what would you change to stop giving it to someone else’. In that context cancelling games makes perfect sense. Real shame - just hope games will continue at some point in the not too distant future. 

Dave - think you are right, it is a very decent squad.  Only point I would make is the 5 Bodmin players (6 if you count Harry Evans)  - all down to opinions but I couldn’t see any more than 1 of them in a Cornish squad, if it were managed by anyone else. 

Good luck any way and enjoy. 

What worries me is not so much the 3 games a week scenario - it’s happened before and to a degree is part of being a winter sport, last season from memory a lot of clubs were finished early. Rather that teams have between 12 and 18 fixtures left to play and every pitch is sodden - clubs will be under pressure to play and officials will want to be seen to getting games on - the net result will be playing on already damaged pitches which normally would be too wet - the consequences will be serious injuries and playing surfaces that a not fit for purpose - so when 3 games are required the pitches won’t be up to it - again increasing the risk of injury. I am sure very club has players who have been badly injured by playing on unfit surfaces. 
There are mid week fixtures this week and even next weekend that without any more rain and with sunny days will still be too sodden but the games will go ahead. Perhaps a weeks holding off of games to give the ground time to recover and the grounds staff time to work their magic may be a short term loss but get us all through the remainder of the season safely??

You’ve got to fancy the winner of this game being favourites for the CSC. With Tavvy playing tomorrow you may be missing Jordan, Jeff, which imo could make the difference in the final score - good luck to both teams.

Elder - just to show I do a little bit of fact - the FA  is a statutory regulatory body that comes under the oversight if not direct control of the Parliamentary Select Committee for Culture / Sport etc. It’s rules and regulations are considered as ‘statutory instruments’ and not requiring specific Acts of Parliament. Furthermore there is an official agreement between the Crown Prosecution Service / Association of Chief Police Officers and the FA governing board that the FA will investigate all breaches of the FA regulations (from financial irregularities through to on field / in stadia breaches of the Laws of the game) - unless serious breaches or those with aggravating criminal factors. Decisions can be appealed from local FA’s through to the FA and then onto either the Court of Arbitration for Sport or in certain cases judicial review. 

All affiliated Leagues and clubs agree to these regulation so know the rules when they join - like it or not the process is transparent and has been in existence since the 1890’s.  

Hope that clarifies the matter for those who think the FA / CCFA act with autonomy.

Camelford 2 v 3 Falmouth
One of the most enjoyable games I have watched this season, even with a loss. The pitch was heavy but held up very well so well done to Camelford’s grounds men. Falmouth’s away support was excellent - nice to meet Jeff and those F Troop present, few muttering about the boom box(which I loved) and first time I have seen singing and dancing in Camelford’s bar BEFORE a game! Made for a really ‘family’ atmosphere both sets of supporters with ages ranging from boys and girls through to some in their 80’s 

As for the game, you know it’s going to be a tough one when facing a team with Barnes / Ward / Cooper at the back, a much lauded midfield and the likes of Brolingo and Johnson up front with Nixon and Jordan Annear on the bench.

The game started at a pace with Falmouth scoring in the first few minutes through poor defensive work and a goal mouth scramble, however Camelford equalised within 2 minutes through a Kian blistering shot. The game settled down with both teams playing some lovely football - Falmouth looking to play wide at every opportunity and Camelford relying on their very impressive midfield. Changing point in the game came late in the first half, another mirror of the first goal saw Falmouth go 2-1 up and within 2 minutes a poor Camels clearance fell to the Falmouth number 2 who fired home from distance - I was in line and it was a goal as soon as it left his boot! 1-3 and half time. 

Second half saw Camelford dominate possession and in fairness quality in midfield. Falmouth countered well and bar for some very poor decision making could have scored a couple (as in the first half) but butchered them. 
Camelford were denied a stonewall penalty decision for an agricultural challenge, however were later awarded a penalty for a similar challenge - converted by Ed (poor penalty that Barnes very nearly got to, but a goals a goal). Camelford kept pushing but time ran out and Falmouth took the points - no complaints they created more good chances and could / should have been further ahead, but on the second half performance Camels could of sneaked a point.
I know people will refer to league positions but if you want to watch a team play attractive football with really skilful players you will struggle to do better than watch Camelford - oh for an out and out front man / striker. 

Thought the officials did well, a few strange calls for throw ins / corners and the ref was a bit ‘timid’ in the rare crunch tackles but overall controlled the game well and let it flow contributing to a great game. 

Well done Falmouth and good luck in your cup chases.

I wasn’t going to comment on this thread as it is best left for the League and CCFA to deal with the issue - but I am surprised how this has swung around. 

There are lessons to be learned for those clubs that attract big crowds and perhaps the likes of Falmouth may need to look at match day stewards, if for no other reason than to protect themselves should incidents like this happen, a shame that they are needed but who knew this would happen in the SWPL. 
However, below is a tweet put on St Blazey’s official site PRIOR to the game:
“It’s a big one! We travel in numbers to @Falmouth_Town on Saturday in the @swpleague Plenty making the trip for this one to try and compete with the F Troop”
St Blazey only usually travel with a modest number of supporters. Someone at the club (from previous eateries, the manager), knew that a large group of men were going to attend the game to ‘challenge’ the F Troop in ‘their support’.  What did they expect was going to happen with a large group of (Argyle) adult men supporters, who would obviously have a few beers before the game? These individuals were clearly drafted in to compete with the F Troop and we have seen the result - and unfortunately one can only guess at the conversations in the pub in Plymouth to gee this group up to travel down from Plymouth. Someone in the St Blazey club should be held accountable for that, if not by the CCFA then by the club.
On a more positive note, I personally don’t think that the F Troop or Falmouth team have been tarnished by this incident - and they can be assured of a warm welcome at Camelford tomorrow (or I’m sure any other clubs), who love having true local football supporters at their games.

Elder - predictive text and not wearing glasses I’m afraid, lol. It’s all opinions and I’m fairly sure if you read most posts, which you do, on the forum, fiction always outweighs facts 😀
