Maybe Bridgey isnt the god you were looking for

Bit of change of luck and they’ll be fine

New coach

Will get results to get them where they need to be

Magic cruising along

[Milland]

Adamstown won all 3 grades:
U18 4-0
Res 9-0
First 6-3
Buds have some exceptional young talent in all grades - 18s are an U16s team, Reserve Grade are an under 18s team, and first grade are (with the exception of 2 players) an U23s team - not the bunnies many on this forum are predicting! May have some tough days this season but will pounce on one or two big scalps before the end of the season!!

Azzuri scored first with a bit of a bomb. end to end stuff in the first half.
Maitland equalized from a corner - Keeper missed it defender cleared it off his line into his team mate into the back of the next
Maitland second goal was from a long range shot deflected off his team mate and into the goal.
Maitland seemed to control the entire second half

[Hurricane]

Moore and Lundy. Decent scrap.I’d say both players will be suspended.Bringing game into disrepute.

Thought Edgeworth were easily the better team. Couple of goals should hopefully ease the frustration of the past few weeks.

My M.O.M went to lil homie on the bench sledging Brockie all game. Bloke was either one a date or has a very tolerant partner because he thought he was Dave Chappelle with his zingers. Am hoping it was a mate of Brockies having some fun but geez he looked like a dead set goose.

Didnt get a chance to try the chicken burger either. Olympic retains the #1 spot on the ladder in that regard.

Wow, you watched a different game to me, game was well in the balance until an absolute comical blunder by the referee and his assistant, Azzurri then argued the point for the next 20 minutes and handed the game to edgy, Azzurri did well considering the outs they had, I can see why edgy have struggled this year, they didn’t offer much, the game was extremely boring for most parts

Edgy really seem to be lacking that squad depth they have had over the past few years, nothing really off the bench past few weeks.

[French Frogs]

I attended two games over the weekend and witnessed in both games terrible centre referring decisions.

One completely changes the game and fortunately the other had little effect .

The first game attended was on Saturday at Whitebridge to attend Charlestown Azzurri versing the Edgeworth Eagles.

This was not a very good game to watch and was most likely heading for a nil to nil draw until a shocking decision changed the course of the game.

An Azzurri player clears the ball to what must have been meters from the centre line and the Edgeworth player takes the sideline throw from near online with the 18 yard box. The Azzurri players appear to collectively stop as does the close side official indicating for play to go back but Edgeworth walk home the goal and the goal stands.

The 2nd game I took in was Valentine Phoenix versing The Broadmeadow Magic.

On this occasion I was very close to an incident in which the Broadmeadow Magic player receives a send off for what was completely clear to all was not contact and thus not a send off. On this occasion it had no direct effect on the outcome but after the weekends events I must question the standard of officiating I witnessed.

In this game I felt the Broadmeadow Magic had full control and appear to be ready to challange for the honours this year under the new coach.

Do not underestimate Weston’s chicken schnitzel burger. I reckon even better than Olympic’s. Weston however has terrible hot chips.

The throw in was a clear one, he is not really trying to make excuses. Can see where the ball actually goes out to the 20m ahead where the throw is actually taken from.

Most Azzurri and Edgy players watch Edgeworth player standing with 1 ball ready to throw in from where the ball went out. How they could get away with throwing a different ball in so far down the field looked ridiculous.

Not allegedly. Pretty clear on BarTV. While not thrown very forcefully it definitely couldn’t be passed off as throwing it too him. I feel as though it is a bit of a line in the sand moment for NNSW Football to see if they are genuine in their talk regarding improving the treatment of referees.

[Game_over]

�������������� ������������ �������� ����������, ���������� ������������, ������������������ ���������������������� �������� ������������������ ������������
NPL Football Club, Lambton Jaffas FC has today announced the resignation of head coach James Pascoe.
Pascoe tendered his resignation to the Club’s executive on Monday evening. The resignation will take immediate effect.
Pascoe cited purely personal reasons for his decision to leave mid-season, despite the Club’s positive start to the season.
The demand for Jimmy’s time from both his career at Hunter Sports High and wanting to spend more time with his maturing family, were both reasons proffered for the sudden departure.
Pascoe joined the Jaffas in 2016, and had success in winning the 2017 Grand Final.
“I’ve got nothing but admiration for the Club, and I wish the Jaffas well for the future. After a little break, I’ll be back and enjoying the company of all of the guys that I’ve formed a strong friendship with over the 5 or so years I’ve been around”., said Pascoe.
“These decisions are never easy. The positive start to the season, off the foundation of a good pre season by all of the players & coaching staff has made the call a little easier. Knowing that the squad is left in the experienced hands of both Bobby Naumov & Shane Pryce I believe is also a positive to ensure that the season can be successful for the Jaffas”, explained Pascoe.
Jaffas Head of Football, Richard Hartley advised that the Club will undertake a process to address both the short term solution to Jimmy’s departure, and also a permanent long term appointment.
“Jimmy has been a fantastic servant to our Club. His undoubted football knowledge and connections have been invaluable to us, and his values of honesty, trust and respect have been greatly appreciated by our group. We wish Jimmy all the best, and hope to see him around the Club, and down at the ground in the not too distant future.” Said Club President, Scott Douglas.
The Jaffas play Broadmeadow Magic this Saturday afternoon(5:10pm) at Magic Park. It is expected that a combination of Naumov and Pryce will control the playing squad for this match

Doubt it. The Jaffas 18s are partially made up of a squad that were 5th in under 13s before winning 2 grand finals and being beaten semi finalists (pens) in the next 3 years. When I say partially made up, I mean that there are 3 or 4 left in the club. One gets on the first grade bench, the keeper wnet to the Jets and there a couple still in the 18s.

If you are going to be half wit, read the context first. Onlooker mentioned that a new coach might use club juniors. I simply pointed out that Jaffas have no history of it and gave some numbers, plus the view that they are unlikely to change.

No tears here, unless I get emotional about your inability to read and comprehend.

[Walker]

Ok
I think it’s time
Valentine, just not good enough, surely it’s time for something different
Look at tables, 1st grade LAST with 1 point and -17, Reserve grade LAST with one point and -31 18’s 2nd last with 3 points and -12

These aren’t the results of a club that has a plan, if your first grade is weak and you’re rebuilding the club than do it thru the lower grades, but what’s going on there just seems to be nothing, no plan
And the attitude of officials, yesterday coaching staff , reserve grade seemed disinterested, one was on phone. First grade, I know Hughes is coach, but there were a dozen people in the coaching area, the most interested seemed to be the physio

On the field, first grade are terrible, no organisation, nothing forward and their defence is just ordinary, I think the top 5-6 reserve grade teams would beat them.

So what can they do, change, it’s not working their juniors, 18’s and reserves don’t offer anything or any hope
Surely it’s time for them to look at other clubs, look at reserve grade the top 2-3 teams, all strong clubs so not much chance of promotion, approach them it’s got to be a better option than what they are currently dishing out
I know the PPS can be restrictive but surely they have to do something
Otherwise I see this club falling deep into NL1, with no return

I dont want to be a stick in the mud but seriously accusing shit like this is why forums like this get shut down.If Presidents cutting cords in order to help a team out is the kind of stuff you believe then Donald Trump needs your help solving his rigged election.Maybe its best if we move on from this discussion.

If you knew anything about Lisle Carr, you'd know the lights have always sucked, and Azzurri have had players out all season yet magically played every other game to date. SHOCK HORROR

Covid isn't real but a certain club used it as an excuse to postpone a match last year when they had 6 players unavailable.

Why would Azzurri turn the lights out at halftime ?
It was 1 all at the time and Azzurri were the better side in the 1st half.
It wasn't like they were losing 4 - 0.

I am not saying they did do this.

Though to play along with a good conspiracy.

If they have 6 out, their bench would be average at best. They may have been concerned that the 5G towers were going to alter the DNA of the players on the bench giving them urges to start fornicating with bats starting a new pandemic.

Due to ill health this week I had to stay home i was unable to travel up to Maitland and watch the top of the table clash between the Maitland Magpies versing the Broadmeadow Magic.

What I terrible shame such an important fixture being played at such a time on a Friday evening.

To compound my evening the BarTV footage had no commentary which really does dilute somewhat the game on the BarTV coverage.

Very disappointing for most watching at home.

On the game itself I would say Maitland Magpies very deserving of the late goal to level the match and if pushed i would say the black and white of Maitland are probably the least happiest with the draw from the game .

What game were you watching, Maitland definitely the better team first half, could have been 2 or 3 nil at half time, Magic were the far better side in the second half and should of had 6, either way draw close to the mark, I would say Magic would be the most disappointed at 1-0 with 5min to go they were cruising.

Has there been a change in structure at Adamstown that is fueling this optimism?Im involved in the JDL side of things and although their boys teams have struggled compared to the top tier of talent,Adamstown girls have a really good setup and reputation.Hopefully this is a club wide shift as it would be great to see that club get stronger across all age groups.

Their girls program is also run by the junior club and have no association with the men's club besides the name, the club's don't get on with each other which is why they ahve not merged yet. Just an FYI

Chris Moylan is not first grade coach next year. Dave Rosewarne will still be first grade coach but his title is different as the club want him to overlook all 3 grades. To my belief, Chris will still be the assistant as is the case now

Is it just me or does the Newcastle Herald the vast majority of the time only write pieces featuring former A-league players?

I don't read it every day. It seems to me that most of the articles feature ex a-league players. Maybe it's just a coincidence on my end.

I feel like we could be promoting good young players better, either helping them get to a better NPL league (which I see as a back on the back to the NNSW NPL) or getting a trial with an a-league team.

By that logic, heart can win in the short run. But in the long run, Edgeworth has done well with the $$$s. I think most would take the $$$s in this logic.
So count up the dollars, whoever has the most wins, then we can all go home and not watch footballers try their hardest. - Personally I like to see a team with a bit of ticker. Even Adamstown are fighting back against the odds with young enthusiastic players. All aspects make for a good competition and development of players. Too much $$$s being spent on players past their peak isn't always sustainable and certainly doesn't guarantee success.

Very embarrassing for you rhe way you target the Charlestown Azzurri and coach so regularly.

Looking through previous postings one could be forgiven for not working out who you are most likely to be.

Fairly certain the Charlestown Azzurri qualified for first finals in quite some time with this squad and coach last year .

Looking at the recent NewFM table one would think you would be better concentrating on your most recent team than living in the past .

On today's game looked a fairly good match considering conditions and good on Charlestown Azzurri for getting a game on .

Just a terrible idea IMO. Make the comp promotion and relegation.

Secondly, the NNSW NPL has a small talent pool. We are nowhere near as big as Syd Mel, Bris etc. Watch the difference between the top 3 and the bottom 3 grow. Not only this the top teams will become weaker as a small number of top players in top teams leave for money which I understand. Which will hurt us in the national competitions.

It's taken decades for NNSW NPL to begin starting to compete with the bigger metro areas. Why undo this work?

8 teams... 3 rounds would showcase the best of Nnsw Football...

NL1 14 teams... 2 rounds.. NL1 grades mirror WPL... 13s 15s 17s, Res Firsts... Npl remains the same. Promotion relegation.

FFS, give NL1 proper place in the hierarchy. Being called NL1 has it in no man's land.

Youth (13,14,15,16) decoupled from seniors. Ideally, two groups of 8. Promotion and relegation based on a club championship model. Maybe expanded slightly to allow for Mid North Coast, North Coast and Northern Inland, say one group of 10 and one of 9.

[Goatscheese]

Have heard northern looking to make it an 11 team Comp next year bringing cooks Hill up and a 12 team the year after bringing up new Lambton.

I heard the same thing regarding Cooks Hill and it was based on their facilities as the main reason why they can get promoted.

But end of the day there should be promotion and relegation across both comps

[Johnno]

Have heard northern looking to make it an 11 team Comp next year bringing cooks Hill up and a 12 team the year after bringing up new Lambton.

Wow what a joke. They should be contracting the comp not expanding. Valentine need to go and they should have went some time ago. Cooks Hill makes 5 clubs all in the inter city. That’s not sustainable. I like the idea of an 8 team NPL x 3 rounds with promotion and relegation. 14 team 2nd tier one round then comp I split into two divisions. Top 7 then play each other again with Premiers being promoted. Maybe bottom 7 teams then fight for a relegation back to ZPL? Gives them an incentive to keep performing.

Sad news to hear the loss of all round good guy Micky Williams. The older crew will remember him as a lightning winger with skill to burn for Azzurri and Newcastle Breakers.

Not sure why the npl games at Edgeworth are called off tomorrow. There will be several teams impacted with the lockdown with players from Central Coast etc that should not be in attendance for the next 2 weeks. Some of the players I am aware of would be Josh Rose, Jed Honery, Chris Hurley not sure if playing at the moment and I am sure there are others that should be in full lock down if they reside or have visited these areas since 21 June. This is a very minority so should not have impact on our comp by cancelling games for this reason.

Yup. Rosewarne thinks he gonna be the boss, & the boss of the youth, reggies & 18s, but he ain’t. “Hey dave don’t worry bout having to coach 1st grade no more. U pick the team tho. U still da man” LOL

That’s the dumbest thing I think I’ve ever read ahahah what does that even mean

[Alton]

How when he lives and works on the central coast



They should be fined or points awarded to Valo

Ah right so possibly heading down the manager with a first team coach scenario Rosewarne the manager who calls all the shots and Moylan the 1st team coach who does the training under the instructions and eye of the manager.

It would be hard to check.
Northern has every clubs PPS.
It would take an hour to check every teams roster against where players live.
Anyone who resides in Sydney or the Central Coast is ineligible until July 9

Fed should be looking to play as many games as quickly as possible to get the comp finished before potential lockdown.

Spot on Alton. But clubs and players also have a responsibility to do the correct thing

[Stanley]

I agree with Alton, clubs by mutual agreement should look at ways to bring games forward and play mid week

[Johnno]

Spot on Alton. But clubs and players also have a responsibility to do the correct thing

There was one club on the top of a hill not doing that on the weekend players celebrating with the crowd, mass hugging, no one in crowd wearing masks as required, moronic behaviour like that ruins it for everyone.

Wonder if Olympic's newest signing will help their leaky defence.

[Giroudawakening]

Wonder if Olympic's newest signing will help their leaky defence.

I guess thats the plan and reason why he is signed

Wonder how much $$$$

[JustHearThings]

Magic 4-0 Olympic

Don't think the scoreline reflected the match as it felt alot closer then that, Olympic creating a fair number of chances but when you are relying on Dino faj to score your goals your always going to struggle

[The Magician]

Wonder if Olympic's newest signing will help their leaky defence.

That's a no

[JustHearThings]

That's a no

Yeah he played in the midfield, I thought I read he was a CB, unless I'm mistaken.

Anyone know the Lakes Jaffa’s score from last night

Magic 4 Olympic 0 midweek, seems a lop sided score, can anyone comment on the game

[2285]

Jaffa’s 3 Lakes 2

Jaffas 1 man sent off aswell.

Score mid week was very lopsided, Olympic created fair few chances but just couldn't finish them whilst magic finished everything they created. As I said before if your relying on Dino faj to score you goals your going to struggle, which they are.

No hate towards him at all, just stating a fact.

Heard from a good source today that Graham Law will be coaching Maitland next season with Bolchy finishing up this season. Apparently Pascoe to return to Azzurri

[2285]

Maitland 4 Azzurri 2
Edgeworth 2 Olympic 1

[sapdad]

Edgeworth 2 Olympic 1
I thought Edgeworth deserved the win but credit to Olympic they didnt give up and could have easily snatched a point in the final 10mins.Edgeworth did enough early on though.Great strike from Brockie for his goal today.Captain Carl also deserves credit for the first goal his horn blowing really fired the visitors up at the right time.

[GashArmy]

Would be an upgraded squad for Graham to be working with.

How many would Pascoe need to clean out at Charlestown?

Closer to home for him, that's for sure.

[Hurricane]

Graham Law won't be at Maitland next year. Bolch has already agreed to stay on as head coach for the 2022 season

[Johnno]

Hurra is 100% correct. I think most/some of committee that were at Maitland last time Law was there are still getting over it. No chance of returning.

[SAP SUPER COACH]

Pascoe will go there if he gets $45k spoke to him already, and cleans out all the older players

[Stanley]

Pascoe will go there if he gets $45k spoke to him already, and cleans out all the older players

Gee, can’t believe he his lowering what he got at Jaffa’s to go to Azzurri

[W8 WATCHER]

Gee, can’t believe he his lowering what he got at Jaffa’s to go to Azzurri

why would any club take him, he proved he cant coach, over numerous years had the best team in comp, and failed.
surely there is young enthusiastic coaches, at qtr of the price that need a go?

[magician]

Does the 45K come with a 150k player budget?

[immersion]

Does the 45K come with a 150k player budget?

I would have thought 25k would have been on the high-end for coaching in this league.

Who are they? Try naming a decent coach in the town let alone the NPL.

[Alton]

Sorry should've said other than Zaney

[Hurricane]

Why do Edgeworth play with 4 players unavailable Rose, Cawley , Maxwell, James
Magic with 2 out Attadaye Hoole
Olympic with 3 out Davies, Griff, Sutomo
Maitland with 2 out Pratt , Blunden
But Weston and Valo can call games off every weekend . Valo are impacted more than most but what could Weston have , possibly 3 players out at most.
Hurley , Wilson , Lozada
Surely get the games played

[mge61]

I reckon Keelan Hamilton would be worth a shot.

Bring Tanch back, did reasonable well with the players he had and he knows the club

[Hunter403]

Who are they? Try naming a decent coach in the town let alone the NPL.

Hard to do because of the NPL coaching merry-go-round that has being going on for years. Clubs won't risk an "unknown" coach because he won't bring the better "mate" players he has.

[Giroudawakening]

Bring Tanch back, did reasonable well with the players he had and he knows the club

Where or why would Tanch leave? Going well with Cooks Hill and pushing for promotion there

[Alton]
