Back from watching NEWQUAY hammer Bude 6-0 , but you would never of said this score after 20 mins because they where playing well but the the floodgates opened and mistake after mistake let in the lethal Newquay forwards .

Jacob Grange was having a fine game and the poor Bude defender marking him couldnt cope with him and Jacob helped himself to 2 goals as well as Callum McConie who would get a hat trick 

HT 4-0 

2ND half and the Newquay dominance continued and all this without top scorer Louis Price  Newquay could of scored 10 hitting the post cross bar and some good saves by the goalie .

I said to Callum before the match he would get a hat trick and he did his 3rd goal being a penalty .

The ref was good and so where his assitants 

MY MOM how can i just give it to a invidual player like Callum McConie sorry Callum you got a hat trick but the whole team where brilliant this was a real team performance a brilliant showing it was like a exhibition  match most of Newquays goals came from mistakes which where punished .

Nice to see Harrison and his owner lovely little dog Nice talking to people up there today nearly forgot Mom For Bude No7 Steve BOX 

Well done Newquay for  1 hell of a performance will be harder next week vs Neil Prices Launceston team and there brilliant striker Andy Watkins who i saw play many times for Truro and at Wembley in the Final .

Newquay are bound to have a slip up sometime in the season but they got Louis Price and JBE to add this team like i said before this is the best Newquay side i have seen in at least 30 years

Bodmin 0 Wendron 1

Apart from a bit of injury time on the odd occasion,  I never leave a game early. Today I left just after an hour. It was that bad. I've seen a few duff games early season but this was an absolute stinker.

Neither side could string a couple of passes together never mind mount a decent threat on goal.

I understand Wendron eventually managed a goal, it was 0-0 when I drove off.

I always rate the games I watch out of 10. Normally the trend has been between 6 to 8 in previous seasons. Out of 11 attended games so far this term, only two have got as high as 6. The sorry affair at Bodmin this afternoon was a new low: 1.5 out of 10. Believe me, it was that bad 👎 (at least what I saw of it).

Uwdi why attend 11 games  if it’s not floating your boat buy an Argyle ticket , you’ll be glad to get back to Bodmin 

[Bobby Thomas]

Never leave early...go to the tea hut, or have a yarn with another spectator..!

In my latter days of playing, in Mining League 3, some of the football, was to say politely,  that indifferent. 

Thats sets of players could erupt into laughter, at the mistakes.

Never a nil nil...either..!

What im trying to say is, you can always find entertainment,  sometimes,  not always on the pitch!!

Saw a good dobwalls side robbed of three points by officials today.  Down to 10 men after 35 mins.    Not one one to criticise officials but got this totally wrong      Awful 

[badgerboy21]

I was at the launceston game today amd to be honest I thought the officials were very good 100% to them! With out officials we dont have a game remember that!!

[Wetsuit]

😂

I’d rather not have a game if that’s the standard of refereeing.     It was poor as and if I was associated with dobwalls I wouldn’t be very happy this evening

[justanopinion]

How can 2 opinions be so different? Was the red correct or incorrect? Were the officials very good 100% or not?

[Wetsuit]

I will leave that to others to have their say.   That’s what the game so great.  Difference of opinions

[badgerboy21]

Every one has there opinion I get that but I do honestly think they all had a good game! Yes the red card was correct ovisbly Dobwalls will disagree I’m a mutual so I think we will leave it there!!

[The Governor]

happens and the referees are only human. They do not always get it right but you have to take the rough with the smooth.

[Scott Foley - The Jam Tart]

Bude were taken to school by Newquay today. Bude were the better team for the first 20 minutes or so, they threatened without actually looking like they would score. However the positive for this young team to remember is they imposed themselves on a pretty good Newquay team. The Newquay management team were getting quite vocal as Bude continued to play the game in the Newquay half. However, as we all know in football, if you don’t take your chances, it might come back to bite you on the backside. 
And boy did it come back and bite Bude. The first half finish with Newquay enjoying a 4 goal advantage. They didn’t deserve it, and I say that with no disrespect to the hosts. They just took advantage of errors from Bude. Fair play to them. That’s what experienced teams do. 
The second half was Newquay attacking pretty much for the first 30 mins or so. Newquay got the goals their pressure deserved. They scored 6, I think it was the 5th which was on the end of some delightful build up play. However, I’d say Bude had as big a hand in the other 5 as Newquay did. 
The final 15 minutes saw Bude come back into the game, this possibly could be as the result of many substitutions from both team, but the Bude management team should feel proud that the heads didn’t go down. There was mistakes for sure, but there were many positives and a clear fight in this bunch of players. 
 

Harrison was pleased to meet Smokie, who was indifferent and kept on sleeping 🤣

If a goal keeper handles the ball outside of the box what should the referee do?

I watched a game today where this happened and the official have a free kick but nothing else,no card of any colour which I thought was not right?

If the handball offence stops a promising attack then yellow. 

If it denies an obvious goal scoring opportunity then red. 

If it's neither of the above then there is no sanction

It's a common myth/misconception that GK is sent off, or otherwise, for handball offence outside the penalty area.

After a solid team performance mid-week, Camelford faced a disappointing afternoon as they traveled to Penzance with only 11 players and no recognized center half in their squad. 

 

Penzance took control straight away, forcing Colwill into a save in the first minute, setting the tone for what looked like a long afternoon for Reg’s side. Penzance took the lead within 4 minutes, with a long ball that was latched onto by a Penzance winger, who just beat the keeper to it on the edge of the box and passed it into an open net.

 

Penzance dominated play for the first 25 minutes as Camelford sat back, allowing the Magpies to control the game. However, Camelford finally began to find their rhythm, with a midfield consisting of 40-year-old Josh Insley, 16-year-old Kenley Dyson, and Camels legend Andy Boxall. They started linking up well and creating a few chances for Camelford's forward line.

 

Just before halftime, Camelford thought they had found a way back into the game when left-back Josh Smith stormed into the home team’s box. He got his toe to the ball first before taking contact from the defender. Everyone in the ground expected a clear penalty call, but to everyone's surprise, the referee stormed over and booked the Camelford player for diving.

 

The second half was largely an even affair, with both teams finding their stride but neither creating many scoring opportunities. The game then turned further in Penzance's favor when young Scarlet Dyson committed a foul in the middle of the park. After a questionable booking in the first half, the referee was quick to pull out the red card and send the young man off. Two minor tackles resulted in a red card, showing questionable action from the referee. During the aftermath of the red card, Gussy found himself in the sin bin as the referee continued his main character performance.

 

The two-man advantage and tired Camelford legs were evident as Penzance doubled their lead, breaking the offside trap and beating the keeper in a one-on-one situation. With Gussy back on the pitch, he showed his experience and strength, brushing off two defenders after a long ball, finding himself in the box, and slotting a shot into the bottom corner with a fine finish with 3 mins to go. 

 

Camelford had their hopes up for about 30 seconds, as straight from the kickoff, Penzance attacked and scored with an excellent finish from the edge of the box. The game finished 3-1. 

 

Camelford once again showed grit despite their limited numbers, but they need to find a win soon to kickstart their season. 

 

I’m not one to bash referees and usually prefer to praise rather than criticize, but I’ve never seen a referee make games more about himself than this one does. He’s clearly officiated at a higher level, but when he drops down to the SWP League, it feels like he’s doing us a favor, which comes off as a burden. His attitude and manner of speaking to players are quite frankly arrogant and embarrassing—a strange individual, but it’s something we’ve all come to expect. That being said the young lino in front of the grandstand was superb and made a great correct non-offside decision which lead to Penzance second goal  

 

There was a good crowd watching at a good club that seems to be going places.

The referee in question has never officiated higher than where he is now.

The young assistant is a very promising prospect, I believe he is either 16 or 17 but showing great potential already.

[Team Rep]

What a very good report from the Penzance v Camelford game!

With a few players missing from the mid-week game, it was always going to be a tricky game for Camelford.

Have to agree, referee made the game more about himself, full of self importance and I know people say, “Without a referee you wouldn’t have a game”  but without two teams you wouldn’t have a game either, so please, let’s have some consistency from referees!

Although he has been on the line I think.

However, focussing on the game rather than the officials, initially I felt for Camelford as it appeared they only had the bare 11 players, and with a few of those being of the mature well-experienced ilk, I did wonder how long they would hold out against an opposition who within four minutes were in front courtesy of Silas Sullivan!

Yet I shouldn't have worried for the visitors as they settled into the game and for a lot of the match gave as good as they got.

Penzance didn't get their second until the 85th minute when a lively Charlie Willis broke through and kept his cool to slot it past Josh Colwill, but even then Camelford showed great character and serial goalscorer Mark Gusterson used his body well to pull a goal back although Penzance had the last word with what I felt was the goal of the game from Darryl Richards.

By the way, a sub did appear in the dug-out for the visitors during the second-half 👍

At least I now know that 'level 4' refs are in the middle for 'steps 5&6' . I was always confused by the level number for officials and where it stood against the steps on the pyramid. (I'll probably forget again by next week 😂)

Hopefully, my luck will change next week.

Can't afford it Marksy. Besides, I've enjoyed travelling around non league grounds up and down the UK for years. Bit worried about the drop in standard down Cornwall this season. Perhaps I've just been unlucky?

Clubs are supposed to provide various things at Step 6 which Bodmin do not offer. No tea hut is an example but the playing surface is also dreadful. Pretty embarrassing really. Apparently there are reasons which will be announced at some point!

I don't think it's a secret, although an official announcement is still to be made once all the legal loose ends are sorted, but the County FA are taking over and so big changes to come at Priory Park over the next 18 months.

Having seen the highlights reel from Dobwalls, the red card is correct. 

It's a clear push, that sits well above the higher threshold for contact in the penalty area. 

Once the penalty is awarded, it is a clear denial of an obvious goal scoring opportunity. Because it is a push, the so-called double jeopardy rule does not apply, as it is neither an attempt or challenge for the ball which is why it is a red card. 

Criteria for Denial of a goal scoring opportunity are met because distance to goal is close, there are no defenders between the attacker and the goal, general direction of play is towards the goal and the attacker is likely to regain control of the ball, his next action is likely to be a shot at goal actually, textbook goal scoring opportunity in my view.

I havnt been to Bodmin this year so i dont know about the tea hut use to be behind the stand and run by lovely people also you could get a cuppa with your chips by the entrance near the top end of the grandstand.

Bodmin is a lovely ground nothing better than lying on the grass on a sunny afternoon watching a match .

I like Bodmin and the people there wasnt happy when the no dogs rule went up but now dogs are allowed back in I will be down very soon .

The club has being going in decline since Darren left ,Dane Bunney took over and he had was building a good team there but they all left for more money then Dane went and Simon Minnett took over and hes trying to rebuild a team and he cant be doing to bad a job for them to beat the talented Bodmin team .

I am down in Bodmin Hospital on the 28th sept so i will be missing watching Newquay vs Camelford so i will be driving over to see my friends in Wadebridge for  of there lovely Pasties and a battle of 2 of the title favourites Wadebridge and Wendron hope its not peeing down i have been soaked many a times at the Bridge.

Hope Bodmin do well this season the days of handing big bundles of cash over to Neil Warnock for bringing his team down for Pre season dont think a large amount of money would be exchanged to bring Torquay down like it was in the days of Leeds Crystal Palace and other teams Neil was in charge .

1 last thing the death of ex Cardiff Player Sol Bamba i met him when Cardiff where playing at Bodmin in a pre season match a giant of a man i got a photo of me with him i look like a bloody midget ok sorry i ment a small person compared to him ,he died so young after fighting Cancer for 2 years .

I bet Neil Warnock was devasted when he heard of Sols passing i know he thought a lot of the big man he was his captain and leader .

Ok big game at Newquay this weekend vs Launceston and Andy Watkins in attack with Neil Price as there manager and who is brilliant on the Rappo and Deacs Podcast .Who Newquay do win because Neil was in the Watford team that beat my Plymouth team to get the final ,i have got the whole match on video which i bought i still shout at the tv to Lee Cooper to Kick John Barnes over the stand but he didnt listen to me .

Ok everybody have a good week

The club was in decline a long time before Darren left. See the ringers he used to bring in which certainly didn't help things.

Also never had any ambition to progress. Was just happy plodding along paying players loads to win a league countless times.  In front of about 30 fans. 
Never really understood Darren being held as this class manager. Light years away in management from the guys  running clubs in southern league etc.
