eden 3 coney 4

a high standard tonight apparently and as usual as dignified in victory as we are in defeat.

no smugness needed this match was our season after losing the first match.

the eden are forever in our pockets and as if this cake needed any icing......

saxton beat power in the decider.

Poetry ...plain and simple poetry.

---

Rack Pack won 5-2 against the SAS...

---

Bloodhounds 6 - 1 Patriots

Easily our best victory of the season. Apart from the class of Tony Jackson in frame 3, we held our own in all the other frames and took out some great finishes!!

This also included me missing the black 3 times in the last frame and still winning. We also won without our captain (Eden) - not bad eh?:band:

---

big results for the lower teams tonight the cue masters could find themselves in trouble if they have lost

---

I'm sure I heard something about the Prop beating the Unpredictables 4-3... but don't quote me...

---

in which case very tight at the bottom i would say none of these teams are safe especially when we still have the cuemasters, the prop and the eagles along with a 3 point bye next week

coney 69
eden 67
bloodhounds 60
rack pack 58
------------------------------------------------------------
unpredictables 55
sas down

---

Hot Shots 4-3 Cuemasters

We only had 5 (again).

---

MASSIVE POWER FAILURE IN THORNTON HEATH . THE LIGHTS WELL AND TRULY WENT OUT IN THE FARLEY LAST NIGHT !! POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING REPORTS THAT SOMEONES ARSE DROPPED OUT OF THEIR TROUSERS !! WE WOULD LIKE TO STRESS THAT,AT THE MOMENT,THESE ARE PURELY RUMOURS,SO THERE IS NO NEED FOR ANYBODY TO BECOME UNDULY ALARMED !! MORE INFORMATION WILL BE RELEASED AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE !! :lol: :lol: :lol:

---

lol.

Pleasing result for the Coney in what will probably be the last ashes encounter. If nothing else it was worth winning to avoid the endless crap that followed on the site when we lost earlier this season.

The Eden have always made it clear that don't rate Rob so it was particularly sweet that he break and dished on 1. Mat A and Rhys won on 2 and 3 to make it 3-0. Great character followed from the Eden with Merv performing below par on 4, Arthur break dishes with class (as usual) on 5 (the 4th time Luke has been break dished this season in the league). I got one shot on 6 and played a half decent plant to partially block a pocket (fuck all else on lol) for Rab to take out a superb clearance, that concluded a Davis hatrick of disgrace.

The rest......is history


3-3 Step up Paul Saxton and Alex Barnetson.

Paul Saxton:

The years of practice come down to this frame. The endless sessions with Andy Breen. The hundreds of Friday nights in the Elmer beating the chopper locals. The thousands of miles travelling to play in competitions losing to better players in the first round to gain experience. The continued DFs (over a million now). The thousands of pounds spent fine tuning your flawless cue action.


If you never pick a cue up again this one frame made it all worthwhile. Hold your head up high mate.

---

The more and more I think about it the more it makes me laugh.

saxton is my hero saxton is my hero a la la la a la la la

and so it ends 3 - 3 in wins between the sides and the coney with the aggregate frame advantage and of course the beckenham ashes for ever in their cabinet, Let alone the fact we have finished above them in the other two seasons and are currently above them in this season. Yes it is the only trophy we will ever win but I very much doubt that any other could feel this sweet. Yes alex has 250 quid of my money but I would have paid any amount of cash to finish this debacle with bragging rights. The constant verbal barrages unprovoked attacks etc can all lay to rest and I can hang up my cue at the end of the season quite simply with a smile on my face knowing that a certain person lost his arse to give me that feeling.

cheers buddy

Frame 1 - Rob Nice B/D against me, Just had to sit & watch, nice clearance as he ran out of position a couple of times & what looked easy at first had to recover with 2 good shots, including the black

Then i am not 100 % sure what happened next but we were 3-0 down

Frame 2 - Sting broke pots 5 & does not make it count only for Ansell to fluke his 2nd to last ball (Tried to pot it & it went in-off his other ball - But them is the breaks & he took out a nice last shot to get on the black)
Frame 3 - Scott has 2 shots & in a simple foul snooker - Plant his opponents ball onto his & take out a dolly finish - Instead has a mare forgets the rules picks the white up & still plays the plant - 3 Zip down from absolutely knowhere - ridiculous, but if you don't know the rules then you can't have any complaints really

Then as has already been said - Class from Barry/Arthur/Rab

Then Alex gets into a tactical match with Saxton & well the rest is history - Well played Paul S, tactically he has a great knowledge of WR & as showed yesterday if given the chance can really hurt you with them

The Eden - Coney saga has only been going for 3 years & looks to be all over (Although Paul S said on Sunday he & a few of the others may play on)

Good luck for the rest of the season chaps - Well played over the years & making an impact in Div 1, A few things down the years have turned the games a bit sour but that is the way it rolls - I would hope to get another chance to beat you fellas - But it looks unlikely - Unless you want a match to settle it once and for all :chicken:

---

I thought it was a joke when I heard about Saxton's exploits at 3-3 but I take my hat off to him . . It's not the first time he's done the business at 3-3 . . I bet Berty still drops him :lol:

It's battles like this that make the league great and more importantly, interesting . . I spoke one of the SAS last night and they love the fact that they've been so dire this year and are pumped up ready for the next campaign . . The Bloodhounds late charge to survive leaving the Unpredictables staring relegation in the face . . It's quality . .

Rumour has it that the Eden's new signing and arguably best player didn't make it to the match from Suzy's last night :?:

---

Cheers Dave nice to see one of you guys on here and praising what was a great effort from our guys under immense pressure I cannot praise them enough.

Still waiting to get anything other than bitter texts from alex but we will have to see if he can rise above it and say well done. but in his own words we deserve no praise and thus we will get none which is what I expected 100%.

Saxtons early season form was dissapointing I think he had won 2 out of 9 in the league at one stage and hence was prone to the odd drop. However in the last two weeks he has provided monster wins against the hot shots and in what was described by him as his best ever win last night v the Power under what must have been serious pressure and for that I cannot praise him enough. For that I am sure he will be starting against the Eagles in two weeks after our bye.

As for the Coney who knows it is not my team it is lukes to decide and whatever he decides to do I wish him all the best.

Big up the Coney

---

I am getting very worried about the Power. The silence is deafening. Just heard a report that a pile of clothing and a cue-case have been found on the beach at Southend. An apparent suicide note was attached. The note started "Once I was good at pool but......" Having carried out extensive enquiries,the police have concluded that it can't be from Alex, unless he was telling lies !! :lol: :lol:

---

strange game v hot shots last night obviously we was short so a bit deflated and they didnt quite seem as sharp as we know they can be so funny game although considering our circumstances it was a great result.

---

It always amazes me how someone so talented at trying to make other people look small cannot suck it up when they are looking tiny. As much as it has pained me I have always come on here in the face of humiliation and bitten the bullet to congratulate in the face of defeat, I know you are reading the posts alex so come on repeat after me......"Well done the Coney"?

---

I guess that losing is a difficult thing to take, but as we all know we only seem to get up for the big games these days & we only get 6 of those a season (Hot Shots/Ego's/prop) & the Cup comps (A foot in the Quarters already)

That is why we consistently finish knowhere in the League but every season we win against the big boys & of the teams in the battle for 4th - relegation we are a team that can always be considered a danger to any team over any format - We realise that to beat us is your only realistic goal - But hats off as you have beaten us again & may finish 6th in DIV 1 cracking stuff chaps :one: trophy for your cabinets lads

Seriously though - Don't fold the team when next year you may even finish 5th - please lads don't do it :shag:

---

One can only presume that Alex was in a very bad mood when he arrived home. His wife has probably made him sit on the naughty stair until his mood changes. Possibly there is no computer terminal in the hall, so he can't comment until he cheers up !! :lol::lol:

---

alex may be upset due to the rummer that his no1 star(steve f )didnt turn up on tuesday but was down at rileys signing for the prop:no:

---

No Scott Lansing our no 1 star was in fact bat the match - but decided mid-frame to sign for the coney :chair:

As for Steve F - Answers on a postcard please :gossip

---

We have heard all this before Dave and you know what I have to say I agree with you we have won nothing we have consistently underachieved against the big boys not arguing that point but when you put yourself up there for a fall it makes you look ridiculous when it happens. This victory felt like Karma personified for past comments made.

---

Bottom line is the Coney are not as good as the top four teams in the league and never will be. No delusions of grandeur here. But for the odd bit of banter, we all knew we would never win a cup. (To illustrate this point we barely got a line up wanting to play the knockout cup and hardly ever a full team for the league cup) We lost to the Eagles in the semi of league cup once. They obliterated us. Why? They are all much much better pool players. Simple really.

Our first goal was to enjoy the game and have a supportive spirit. You see so many teams blaming their own players after they lose and holding post frame reprimands with players. Fuck that.

Our second was to get into the first division. We did that (I seem to remember) in the shortest time possible whilst resisting offers to merge with other teams, so basically by and large the same bunch of players. We did this despite being average players (I believe) becasue we stuck to goal one.

All this crap about us not winning stuff by Alex et al, I see as a huge compliment. To even be metioned in the same sentence as winning trophys shows how far a mediocre bunch of pool players have come.

Through the years we got on with pretty much every team we played with one obvious exception (although most of the team are top blokes, paradoxically that particularly team collective portrays a slightly different image).

When we got to the first division our new goal was to stay there (finishing as high up as we could) and finish above the team that took such a dislike to us (and in fairness at times brought out the worst in us). We finished above them two years running and even if we do not do the same this year we hold the aggregate advantage in this sense.We are 3-3 in head to heads with a better frame difference and have won 3 of the last 4.

That will do for me.

Apologies for the self-indulgent crap :lol:

---

Loving your work James could not have put it better myself.

In a sense the Eden made the highlight of our season beating them and finishing off better than them which we have done.

Mission accomplished

---

We're still going to tear a new arsehole out of the Eagles in our next game though :threaten:

---

:BEARD:

---

I've just noticed that Fieldsy 'location' says "The Mighty Eden . . Away Team" :?:

Have the Eden signed so many of Mark Bannister's players that they can adopt a 'Jose Style' rotation system?*

* that was a joke btw

---

Word of the Day - Paradoxically

---

It is just a shame that all the new players will only be playing for a half a season before finding new teams as the Eden are folding remember:lol:

---

Sorry I wrote that like a bit of a cock. I've been writing a proposal all day so am in pretentious mode.

---

No need to apologise . . I haven't got a clue what it means but it looked good so was well worth making it today's word of the day :lol:

---

is fieldsy just playing away games now,does this have anything to do with the betting for the farley open by any chance.:lame:
dave was just playing by the codes of betting,Get over it steve,whats done is done.:handshake:

---

It is ok Alex has been found alive and well or at least i think it is Alex.

I just got a text stating

"My silence on the site is really getting to you Coney Cocks!"

A true gentleman and sport in the face of defeat.

Alex I am laughing at you:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

---

Berty,what I said has got to be true.When Alex's wife put him on the naughty stair,she didn't notice that he had his mobile in his pocket !! He can't yet reach the computer !! :lol::lol: :lol:

---

:lol:

---

---

---

---

---

:lol::lol::lol::lol:
Does anyone know if there is a missing persons column in the local paper? This site is far too quiet without the sportsman of year spouting off. Anyway, Berty i'm soooo glad you finally achieved payback. :clap:

Also i want to praise Mr Truan on his kind words and accepting the loss in a dignified manner.

Do we get to keep the Ashes trophy now? and are we running a book on how long it will be before King Gob is back?

---

?Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.?

---

For how much longer can the Power keep up his shy and retiring new persona ? Apparently he has now approached Danny Evans to consider exchanging user names !! As the saying goes : SILENCE IS GOLDEN !! :lol: :lol:

---

It is currently up for sale on eBay . . Starting price ?13.87 . .

---

Silence will be broken sometime Monday lunchtime when it's time for predictions.. Until then, ENJOY!!

---

The way I see it Hotshots won the Nationals, the Eagles beat the Hotshots, the Eden beat the Eagle, the Coney beat the Eden.Coney are currently ranked the best team in the Country.

Good skills.

---

lol

In other news Paul Saxton spotted celebrating in alaska wearing a penguin costume (stick with it)

http://www.paperb...3CDD%20%0A

---

Quite simply brilliant !

The Eagles must be greatful of the chance to take the thrown back From the Coney in two weeks.

No Chance Unbeaten till the rest of the season and no one can win that back

---

Nah, we'll get beaten on the last game by the SAS to leave them as UK champs!!

---

Quality!
:lol::bounce:

---

Sexy I think your fans would like a few words on what it feels like to be a hero and how your first few days as one has been?:bow:

---

BE CAREFUL PAT MATE MR SAXTON MAY DECIDE TO EDIT THIS POST HES NOT A LOVER OF CAPITALS.BUT HE MAY NOT COS ITS ABOUT HIM BEATING A CERTAIN PERSON.:razz:

---

I see we still have a no comment situation from the power... I thought i'd never see the day, how The Coney have left him speechless!!:bounce:

---

Ha ha got more texts from himself over the weekend he really needs a hobby.

Mk Dons beat Grimsby at Wembley fair play to them they defo deserved it. MK dons is a strange team as they have no real identity which is why it was such a surprise they had 30,000 at Wembley.

We missed a penalty in the first half they scored their penalty that was the difference. GReat weekend though

---

He has a hobby... It's called Berty Bashing, the only reason he is texting you because he knows he will not get it from all angles.

Class always comes through in the end.!!

---

This happened after the Goodfellas victory also. No big deal - no doubt Alex will be back after the dust has settled or they manage a win.

If only he could be more like Truey. Proper gentleman in general. With nice shoes.

---

Not sure about the hero tag, but I was very pleased to win that decider, I have played thousands of frames, but have never had anywhere near as much pressure on me to win a frame as last Tuesday.

Its only the second time I have ever played Alex in a match, both games have gone tactical, fortunatly I had "tactical hat" on. Both of us played well, Alex was in a very bad position and tied the black up on numerous occasions so I had to keep breaking it back out. He was unlucky to just miss the cushion and leave me foul snookered.

Hats of to the Eden though for bringing the match back to 3-3, shot of the night went to Barrie for a double on his last colour

Hopefully Lils is right and Alex will post again soon, and that he has just been too busy at work to post, as I have.

It is true I would love the Coney to carry on in the winter so that there is another chance to silence the Eden Roar, but with the number of players we are going to lose, it remains to be seen if the players left are willing to carry on and if we can get enough players to make up for those we will lose, but thats a long way off yet.

---

Cheers for that Paul
