What happened at edgy? :popcorn:

Fight in the crowd, and players joined in.

[Thomas477]

From what I heard, it was sessions' brother, hence why Ireland and Sessions joined in.

doesn't matter if it was his brother or not ,if said players left the field of play to join in surely action should be taken against both players. Suspend both players and take tha grand final off edgy.How many incidents must this club be involved in and suspended sentences placed upon the club before northern take appropriate action?

[Beast]

From watching the live feed it appeared Ireland left the field of play to engage with spectator, then Ref calls game. How can this go unpunished by Ref or Northern. Players are given a week off for less.

[Bremsstrahlung]

The real questions need to be asked.
Was it:
A) Southys fault?
B) a conspiracy to give Magic the grand final back.

Poor form though. Agree that if you're a player and you leave the field to "allegedly" do that, then you deserve a rest.

[Zico]

Hahahahaha Edgy at it again and they are hosting the Grand Final FFS.

Surely there will be something done by NNSWF after yet another rumble in the Ghetto. The players involved should also have the book thrown at them for getting involved in a crowd fight.

Trying to remember the player but I think it could have been Danny Burt from memory who last jumped the fence to fight a spectator. Can anybody recal his suspension?

Wasn't the last player halpin against magic ?

Magic, South and Rosebuds all on 17 and still at (potential) risk of relegation.

Anyone care to give me bookies odds for Magic getting relegated........

Both Magic and Southy have midweek FFA cup commitments as well.

Good win by the gunners today, some good footy from both teams despite windy and bumpy conditions, I was told by an Azzurri official that their stars failed to turn up, I told him not many stars on a cloudy day, dickhead.

Never said it was acceptable.

How about the best ground in Newy where it should be.

FFS I drove out to Edgy and they weren't allowing cars in this morning and not wanting to sit in the cold all day so I went to Magic instead where i was able to sit in the car.

What were they protecting the grass on the hill for the GF or something???

Players were not involved.
Spectators were on the pitch. Players went to see if the Jaffas spectator who was Danny's dad who was punched in the face by an intoxicated Edgeworth supporter was ok.
Players were not involved in any physical altercation.
The refereee would have taken action if there was.
Edge players were also there and to their credit were giving it to the edge supporter who punched Danny's dad who was the innocent bystander in the altercation but received a good punch.
Stealing bags, punching spectators. Anybody who is looking for a gf next year u know what u need to do!!

This post is so far from the truth. Players were not involved that wrong. Sessions clearly dragged a spectator over the fence on to the pitch. I lost sight to what happened next. But he wasn't involved Pfft

Digby didnt take any action because he to far away from the action.

The theft of bags has happened at numerous grounds and at numerous different sporting codes. So another idiotic comment.

Your last comment is the only one i agree with. The GF should be looked at to see if it should be moved. Clearly something is wrong at Edgeworth.

[pv4]

Talking to someone who was there, they were on the opposite side of the field and said they thought the keeper started the fight.

I managed to catch a glimpse of it on NBN and all I managed to make out was at least one Lambton jersey very much in the middle of it. But that was just a quick look at the tv when it came on, I didn't get to see much else.

Sorry but whoever you spoke to has seen different to me. I was there and the scuffle was going well before Ireland become involved. He was actually screaming at the ref to stop the game as he ran to the corner.

The incident did happen in front of the Edgy Beer Shack, so alcohol and security could be an issue. If any players were involved it was to break up the incident, no player left the field. The persons from Edgy that started this should be barred.

Nice Edgeworth perspective. Pffft not sure what you were watching.

The most disappointing thing was the Edgeworth Duty officer who took his vest off and told a fan to come outside so he could punch on with him.
Arnt duty officers suppose to stop the fights not instigate them?

The good old Edge beer shed

[Lofty]

This is all very entertaining. Not sure that I've read any two stories that have been the same yet. LOL's all round.

[Beast]

How many incidents does Northern need to realize there is a problem there. IMO it is a club attitude, took my 14 year old daughter to a game there a few weeks ago and the guy on the gate carried on like a goose when I refused to pay adult entry for her, he said she looked older so she should have to pay. Even called his mate over for extra support, when I sent her back to the car for her school ID he all but told me to piss off and go in.
What are Northern waiting for till things hit the front page of the Herald or someone gets seriously injured. It takes two to tango so I'm sure the Lambton supporters didn't sit there quietly and if Ireland left his goals to run to the sideline I don't think it was to watch either.
See another suspended penalty or slap on the wrist coming.
Northern grow a set FF and take some action that will deter this.
Or Edgy could go on the front foot first and stop beer sales or engage more duty officers who actually do their job (not many do).
Our game dosen't need this attention leave it for the peanut huggers.

[MFKS]

How did they get the GF anyway??

The ground has 3 ****ing sides FFS.

They use to have seating behind the other goal but it rotted away with termites years ago.

[The Magician]

Has NNWSF asked NBN for extended highlights of the fracas?

Im sure a picture tells a thousand words? was anyone in the ground filming the event. Hard evidence is what is needed, not he said she said, that is what keeps letting Edgeworth off the hook.

If they need any ammo for a book throwing session ive got an old set of britannica under the house...

Agreed. Clubs can only do so much with winter and costs of upkeep. Not many grounds stand out as better than others.
Most Real NRL grounds are in no better shape this time of year.

I really don't think playing an U13, U14 and U15 game every two weeks is going to make much difference!

This winter has been colder than last year, so the ground temperature is lower, so the grass has not been recovering as well.

cast your memory back to round 1 & 2. youth was played at magic park on the saturday during a massive wet weekend ,come the first grade game on sunday arvo it was a cow paddock , the ground has not been the same since. so yes youth is a major factor to the ground problem .

I agree that this would not affect a ground too much if it were dry and well prepared.
However, after playing on a wet pitch, it needs time to recover.
And the structure of the npl youth comp generally means clubs have at least 2 game days a fortnight. So, you can understand why npl youth games are cancelled when the pitch is wet. Just the way it is. Always has been. Not sure it's going to change either.

Catch 22. Whinge about poor pitches or whinge about games not being played in the wet.

Yes I agree the wet weather in the early rounds caused damage. The decision not to have replays in the NPL youth might actually be a bad thing. If you know you can replay a game, I would be much more prepared to call it off if the field is not dry enough and play it later......

I played at Ulinga today, and credit to FR, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, the drainage is good, but we shouldn't have played on it today.

However, the area goal to goal is a complete mud bath, and I don't think it was a good idea to let 4-5 games be played on it today, with Southy still to host a few home games, plus potentially FFA Cup games. FR, do the seniors and juniors talk to each regarding the ground?

[MFKS]

So it ought to be the entire Foz has been assured many a time that the drainage is top shelf at the Chicken Coop.


It really is a disgrace though the other game was off. Seriously we have not had that much rain this week.


Anyway the Southy Jaffas result has pretty much all but handed the Minor Premiership to the Jets Yoof to actually not blow Liverpool style it would seem which is a bit surprising considering it looked like they were well up against it in the run in this week after dropping 2 games on the trot and having a tough run home

12 to 15 mm in the Adamstown/Hamilton area overnight, with no time to drain is enough to put every ground out at this time of year. The only exceptions are those up towards the Bay which are all sand based.

12-15mm really isn't that much in the grand scheme of things. That they can play on Sunday says the pitch ain't in that bad a nick.

Jaffas ground looked like it held up ok but the outer ground was mud. Not sure how it will recover considering they have 2 more home games in a row and possibility of semis. I think by loosing all 3 grades they would have wished they did call it off. Southey turned up and were deserving of the win.

Have to agree with FR. Southy were quality yesterday. The one touch football at times was great to watch! Lambton had their chances to score bit didn't take them! Credit to Southy tho, could be too little too late for the semis but good sigs for your club FR.

Good game tonight

Monie scored for Olympic in the first few mins

Jets Yoof equalised a couple of mins later

Olympic dominant the rest of half but level at HT

Second half Olympic bloke was lucky to not see red for one of the ugliest looking tackles you will see

Short time later Jets defender coughed up ball and Olympic raced through Solari pulled off screamer of save
Red Card was issued for minor holding back and a pen was given

Solari saved pen but a short time later before the Jets reorganised defence Olympic ahead

After that the Jets with 10 men took control and pushed Olympic back
Last minute a long diagonal ball and Olympic defender was more focused on his man and ball landed on arm which was well wide of body

More arse than anything to do so as he didn't seem interested in ball and a 40 yard ball just him

Pen given Cowburn put it away

Thought the Jets lacked quality up front but was impressed with their resilience as they got something from a game after staying in a game they never deserved to be in

Solari had a blinder and if he keeps that up BK will be out soon

Berlin had a very good game on the wing, Piddington was strong at the back. Lakes just seemed to struggle to create any real chances.

Berlin and tippet played strikers, he didn't go anywhere near the wing. The wingers were Hoole and Pettit, and when Jon Griff got dragged, Murray Fletcher played RM.

Casa in the middle was the standout for me, he just singlehandedly controls the middle and it gives Hakan so much freedom. I liked Tom Walker for Lakes too.

sorry to dissapoint, but his staying with the gunners

Fair enough FR. My mail was a very reliable source, so we will see how things pan out over the next month or so. Not trying to stir either - just stating what I've heard. I think he should continue with the gunners, he's done a pretty decent job for someone his age, but not many young coaches around or coaches in general - he's a decent long term prospect.

After the article in the herald on Wednesday about the coaches leaving, there doesn't appear to be too many replacements around.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Would love to see what he could do with a full squad at southy. Big year next year though for southy. I feel they'd be the on paper side to be relegated as lakes, balo and weary had previously been. There's never an easy point against southy though. On their day they can beat anyone, just need the consistency.

Magic lost 2-0 to Edgeworth at Magic Park. Broadmeadow played well during the first half and were unlucky not to get the first goal. The pitch was pretty bad and there were a few occasions where players struggled to control the ball due to the field. Edgy came out of half time on the hunt for a goal and eventually broke through.

Magic's defence was really poor during the second half. At one stage the ball was heading towards the goal line and Alex Kantarvoski had a lot of time to kick it to safety but the Edgy player won possession, squared it straight to Mendes and that was the winner. Very poor showing from Magic as they bowed out of finals contention.

State of Ulinga probably didn't help either side tbh. It was a muddy slush last weekend.

[MFKS]

gunners were desperately unlucky today, after 120 minutes plus travel in Melbourne during the week they were dealt a harsh blow with a send off in the 30th minute at 1 nil down, early in the second half managed to claw their way back and equalise, from there on in it was nothing but a red tidal wave heading towards the bears cave but they couldn't find that winner, bears scored with 1 minute remaining from a goal mouth scramble, bears wont win anything from that display, totally outclassed against 10 men

When you say the send off was harsh what happened??

I hope it wasn't a fait accompli red card for punching head butting studs up hack etc

Also anyone know when the Jets Yoof V Olympic 19's and 22's are on that need to be played before the semis???

THE Jets Youth will head to their happy hunting ground at Weston full of confidence for the minor premiership decider on Saturday after Brandon Lundy returned to inspire them to a 2-1 win over Lambton Jaffas yesterday.

The ladder-leading Jets Youth had not won in the Northern NSW National Premier League since losing striker Radovan Pavicevic to a broken arm four weeks earlier against South Cardiff, but they returned to form in the penultimate round at Edden Oval yesterday with Lundy spearheading the attack.

Lundy, who trains with the Jets’ A-League squad and had not played in the previous two NPL rounds, set up Michael Finlayson in the 15th minute then scored the youth team’s winner in the 55th minute with a coolly taken one-on-one chance.

Luke Remington scored in the 31st minute for the Jaffas after John Solari spilled Peter McPherson’s dipping shot.

The speedster was a constant threat for the Jets, who sat deep in defence but regularly forced turnovers before attacking quickly.

Jets Youth coach James Pascoe said Lundy was a key man for his side but was unsure if he or fellow first-team member Mitch Oxborrow would play for the youth team this week or beyond.

Both could be part of head coach Phil Stubbins’s FFA Cup squad for the game against Perth tomorrow night at Magic Park and other pre-season teams.

Pascoe said Lundy proved an ideal replacement for Pavicevic yesterday.

‘‘You need that outlet, and he’s probably the most similar to Radovan we have in terms of quality of being able to threaten in behind the line as well as come short to feet,’’ Pascoe said of Lundy.

Jaffas coach David Tanchevski lamented his side’s lacklustre start and poor finishing.

‘‘Every week I say to the boys, ‘The first 20 minutes we need to get into the game and don’t concede,’ and every week we concede,’’ he said. ‘‘I thought we played all over them the rest of the first half and made some good chances in the second, but we just couldn’t put the ball in the net.’’

The result and Weston’s 2-1 win over a 10-man South Cardiff at Ulinga Park yesterday kept the Jets two points clear of the Bears and ended the Jaffas’ premiership hopes. But to steal the title Weston will have to defy the odds.

Pascoe’s side have beaten the Bears every time since entering the league, including a 5-2 thumping this year.

‘‘They’ve probably been the form team over the last five or six weeks, so I think it will be a good game,’’ Pascoe said of the Bears. ‘‘It’s a game I look forward to as well because it’s a ground we tend to play good football on.’’

Mick Ryan scored the winner for Weston in the 85th minute after Dan Johnson’s penalty equaliser for South Cardiff.

The results yesterday mean the third-placed Jaffas, who play Adamstown, and Edgeworth, who take on Hamilton, are on 27 points and will fight for the other top-three position next week.

Edgeworth earned the right to compete for a second chance in the finals with a 2-0 win over Broadmeadow at Magic Park yesterday which ended the three-time defending major premiers’ playoff hopes.

Dylan Holz and Hector Mendez scored in the second half for the Eagles, who confirmed yesterday that Damian Zane will coach them in 2015.

Hamilton, meanwhile, lost 2-1 to Adamstown to slip to sixth place and must now win next week and rely on Charlestown losing or drawing against Broadmeadow to make the top five.

Sean Matthews scored in the first half for Rosebud, Pat Brown equalised before half-time and Nick Bale netted the winner at Adamstown Oval.

Charlestown beat Lake Macquarie 2-1 at Lisle Carr Oval to jump Olympic into fifth. Cameron Sullini and Kane Goodchild scored for the Blues before a late goal to the visitors.


If Lundy is doing anything other than sitting on the bench and maybe arsing a sub run tomorrow night Stubbins needs his head read.

Matter of fact why Oxborrow and Lundy are not certainties for the remaining NPL games defies logic. All their remaining games are gonna be high pressure affairs with a lot at stake and testing the 2 blokes closest to cementing a HAL starting line up spot in this environment would make sense to me rather than getting them to play aimless pre season games.

I thought the match yesterday was a high pressure affair. Papas and the holding midfielder were tremendous for large parts of the game. The passing range of the DM was quite noteworthy at times. So I don't see why the need to make Ox and Lundy certainties for the remaining NPL matches. Anyways Jaffas owned the first half and the Jets slick passing game won over in the second period. A bit of luck in the Jets opening goal so Lambton would be a bit disappointed not to have picked up a draw.

Giving them some time off before the HAL and the official youth league kicks off is probably a good. thing. The kids have probably barely had a legitimate rest in a fair whack of time.

Get them fresh for when it actually counts. Is probably good player management. Get that mentally freshness and physical freshness back. Otherwise the players may become a little mentally lethargic and physical more susceptible to injuries.

[MFKS]

They would have had 6 weeks off in between the last NYL and this NPL season. Add in the Jets give them time off through the season so it ain't like they play year round non stop.

As Lundy and Oxborrow are on HAL contracts they would be still gearing up for the season as the likes of Griffo carney Gallaway etc so they won't be getting time off from training anyway other than club imposed sanctions

Add in that after this weekend EVERYONE gets the week off anyway as there are no games the week after and if the Jets manage to get the result at Weston will get 2 weeks off anyway as Minor Premiers as a reward it ain't like they are gonna be over burdened playing this weekend.

Is that 6 weeks between competition matches or a complete 6 week period before coming back and preparing for the NPL?

When was the last time magic missed out on finals in all grades?

[Fairgo]

Is that 6 weeks between competition matches or a complete 6 week period before coming back and preparing for the NPL?

After talking to one of the players they had a 2-3 week break between comps. My understanding senior team contracted players have to have a mandatory 6 weeks break which is part of their contract agreement which explains why Ox has had the time off I do not believe any other has had a break apart from injury. Some of these players have not had a proper break for years, training is just less during the NBN comp and depending how far they go in the finals they will get a week maybe 2 weeks off before they up the tempo for NYL.

[idontwannaplaywithhowey]

Article in the Herald today stated that Adamstown will be appointing new coaches next year.

[wannabe]

Funny thing is if magic beat azzurri, and edgy beat olympic magic leapfrog your so called bolchys olympic.. on for and against
Hopefully magic do beat azzurri on sunday cobra.That way if Olympic beat edgy we are in the semis. Would be a great helping hand from magic. Either way cobra,with the 2 squads and we are talking about 1 beating the other on goal difference for 6th spot says enough about this season for both clubs

[TXK]

WHEN told they would be let go, Adamstown coach Anthony Richards and his assistant, Danny Pryde, were described as being too much like the Beach Boys with their laid-back approach this year.

And although their sacking will surprise some outside the club after Rosebud’s strong return to the top division, Richards joked yesterday that he and Pryde ‘‘weren’t picking up good vibrations’’ from the club a few weeks ago.

Richards told his squad last night that he had not been retained for 2015, after a meeting with Rosebud president Andy Stankovic.

After nudging out Richards’s Maitland side for promotion last year, Adamstown were expected to struggle in the Northern NSW National Premier League after a six-year absence from top-flight football and the loss of most of Glen Chapman’s 2013 squad.

But Richards has steered Rosebud to seventh and only four points outside the top five with a round remaining.

Despite the encouraging results under Richards, Stankovic said Adamstown were aiming high for next season and wanted more intensity on the training, retention and recruitment fronts.

‘‘From a club point of view, for us to move forward we have to go for a coach who fits with what we think will make us a successful and harmonious club,’’ Stankovic said.

‘‘We wish him all the best. He’s a great bloke and a good coach. He’s probably just not the right coach for us.’’

Richards was ‘‘not bitter at all’’ about the decision and was taking it with good humour.

‘‘Danny and I are comfortable with what we have done this year so we will leave with our reputation intact,’’ Richards said. ‘‘The coaching style was more laid-back than what they are used to and we were described as being like the Beach Boys, and we are a little bit relaxed.

‘‘I said to Danny the other night I could hear the music a couple of weeks ago and we weren’t picking up the good vibrations. It’s all good, though. We can go on a surfing safari now.

‘‘They are also looking for a coach who can drag a few players in to increase their squad, which they probably need to do, and they believe they have someone else who can do that, and that’s fine.’’

Richards was planning to ‘‘play some Beach Boys music in the background’’ when telling the squad at training.

‘‘We’ll be trying to keep it light heading into the weekend. I certainly won’t be pointing fingers at anyone,’’ he said.

‘‘The last six weeks have been really good for us.

‘‘Just on those results, we have been the third best team in the competition, and if Edgeworth had not got that goal in the last couple of minutes, we’d be two points out of the five. But I’m happy with where we are on the table, more than proud.’’

He added he had ‘‘a good relationship with most of the squad’’.

Stankovic would not comment on a likely successor for Richards, but the Herald believes former Rosebud coach Neil Owens, who is in charge of Hamilton’s under22s this year, is a strong candidate.

The Adamstown announcement comes after Damian Zane was revealed on Monday as Edgeworth’s coach for 2015 to replace Gary Wilson and amid uncertainty about Glen Chapman’s future at Magic.

In his first year in charge, Chapman led the club to a second State Cup win and a start in the inaugural FFA Cup, but they have missed the league finals as the three-time defending premiers. He is keen for a second season, but the club is undecided.

Magic secretary Stephen Pichaloff said his committee looked at Chapman’s football plan on Monday night and they would make a decision on ‘‘which way they want to go’’ early next week. Pichaloff said Chapman’s submission was comprehensive and addressed the problems of this season.

Roosters coach Gary Rowe has told the club he will not be back next year when they tackle first division. All other NPL coaches are set to return.


Looks like an interesting few weeks ahead for some clubs...

[immersion]

Looks like an interesting few weeks ahead for some clubs...

I agree. Chapman has not done as good as he should i think everyone should agree. With the team he has on paper. Most of which have been an integral part of the clubs success over the last couple of years i think he may find it tough to keep his job.

Interesting appointment at Edgeworth, another former player coaching there. I dont think Damien has a great deal of senior coaching experience, so it should be a pretty interesting appointment.

Must be pretty embarrassing for the clubs in the NPL to be staring down the barrel of having a bunch of kids roll them over the course of a season???

To think also the Jets Yoof side even lacks the quality of previous models.

Not really looking good going forward for the comp when the Jets are currently 1st in 1st grade 2nd in 22's and 1st in 19's. Given time they are only gonna be more prepared each year as the kids develop through the Emerging Jets program and are more ready to be playing at the level.

Considering the jets are not subject to the points system, so it makes it a bit hard if a mid table club wants to improve by acquiring a few "good" players it has to do it in a way that it stays under the allocated points, which in practice is not possible.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Not really sure how it's an embarrassment when these program's are supposedly selecting the best players the region has to offer?
And if they have the best, the npl clubs have second best, and shouldn't the better players beat their lesser opponents.
The bad will come if these jets players end up close to last in the NYL.

Is there a nnsw select game this year?
IMO, the select team of youth of NBN normally beat jets youth comfortably.

Do you ever positively contribute to a thread?

No doubt you would be having a whinge if the Jets sides were only mid table across the 3 grades.

[MFKS]

The not being subject to the point system is a feeble argument cause this is Year 2 of the Emerging Jets program. Give it time and they will be on the fewest points in the comp anyway as the kids have come through the grades at the club anyway so your point will only hold any relevance for another couple of years anyway.

Also if the only way an NPL side can "improve" is to go out and buy players then there is a huge issue there with the Management of the NPL clubs not developing their club.

Me thinks the clubs are gonna have to step up and improve otherwise we will be blowing up in 2-3 years time how the Jets have ruined the comp as a competition and the Jets will be not getting much out of it player development wise flogging inferior competition every week

I wouldn't sat the Jets have the BEST available. There are a fair few out there that are playing for rival NPL clubs that are better than the Jets have make no mistake about that. If you look through the grades of the Jets Yoof there ain't that many standouts stars there.

Solid players but nothing that jumps out and and says CERTAIN EPL player CERTAIN FUTURE Socceroo etc.


The fact the Jets are winning with such plodders in the grand scheme of things and not RED HOT GUNS is a great cause for concern about the future competitiveness of the overall comp particularly if the Jets do start developing some RED HOT GUNS

You are correct, BEST are not all at Jets. There is a growing school of thought that a good strong club has more to offer.

Only thing in Jets youth favour is a great coach who gets the absolute best out of his young charges. Funny how the biggest issue with Emerging Jets is their coach LOL.........why anyone would pay $850 a year for GVE is beyond me

1-1

Jets premiers, Weston 2nd

[The Dreaded Keeper]

Weston denied a clear pen about 20 in. Jets looked average in the middle, dominated by the Weston mids. Looked lively up front though. The Jets keeper had a good game too.

I wonder how the Jets will go in the finals, I thought they were lucky to grab a draw today. Standouts for me were the 10 from the Jets, and Connor Evans from Weston.

[MFKS]

1-1

Jets premiers, Weston 2nd

Weston took the lead after about 50 mins from a back post header from a corner.

Jets had a perfectly legitimate goal disallowed about 10 mins later from what can only be described as incompetent biased refereeing. Would blow up about this but at least the officials were incompetent all game and this wasn't a glaring error.

Jets scored with about 15 to go after a Pappas free kick hit post/crossbar and as turned home by someone **** knows who in the ensuing scramble. Couldn't work out who it was as they were mobbed by teammates but looked like one of the central defenders.

Weston huffed and puffed in the last 15 and were not able to blow the house down despite a couple of goal mouth scrambles.

As far as I was concerned Weston did not do enough to win the game not that the Jets Yoof were any better

Even roared on by the PEANUT GALLERY and having a referee who **** knows how they got 1v2 at this time of year and reffed the game like they received a paper bag in the car park an hour before kick off from someone who wanted Weston to win Weston really didn't do enough to WIN the game.

How was it a clear penalty???

The goalkeeper dived in and clearly won the ball in the tackle hence why it was given as a corner kick???

[The Dreaded Keeper]

It's always going to be a matter of opinion mate, but I was down in that corner and I saw a pen. Keeper made loose contact with the ball and went through the attacking player. I was there as a neutral, so no bias here. Just what I saw.

Just got off the phone from Stevie Wonder MFKS, and he said he didn't see a penalty either. So that makes two of you.

I am affiliated with no one.

Stevie Wonder Nice try. I think the footage speaks for itself as to what the correct call was

[Bremsstrahlung]

I've watched it about 20 times in the last 2 minutes. And for me, it's 50/50.
If i watch Evans, it looks like he manages to take the ball to the right, and then he gets collected, then keep gets ball.
However, when i watch the keeper, it looks like he comes in to make a solid tackle.

If it's dubious with video footage, we can't be too critical of the decision. With that said, i had 2 suspicions when i read things about inept refereeing. Upon seeing the referee on the video, i was correct.

[The Dreaded Keeper]

There are two types of people who don't see that as a pen. Jets fans and people who didn't watch the game.

Why was the Jets goal from the free kick disallowed??

Alleged foul from a referee who was 35 m from the scene.

Sitting side on the reason the ball went in the net was the keeper came out and the ball flew that little bit higher on the wind and was too far overhead to get a finger on.

Ball was going in as soon as the keeper misjudged it. After the ball went over his head contact was made by a Jets player and the keeper who were both going in opposite directions and completely oblivious to one another.

The contact had **** all to do with the ball ending up in the net at all

[The Dreaded Keeper]

The touchy was waving his flag furiously on that disallowed Jets goal. Not sure what he saw. I saw a goal and I was standing right behind him.

Weston didn't deserve to win last week, and I think they will be the first to tell you that, they have had 18 weeks to win it so today's game should not be dissected as you are all doing, history will tell us all that weston won were the 2014 premiers, much to my amusement

People who don't know the rules.

Regardless of whether Evans touched the ball the keepers first contact was with the ball then Evans.

Whether he smashed him or not is irrelevant the first contact was with the ball.

If he dived in and uses his hands as long as he makes contact with the ball FIRST he can knock the attacker flying and it is still no penalty every day of the week.

What happens outside the box elsewhere on the park is irrelevant we are talking about a challenge by a keeper on an attacker inside the box.

As long as the keeper gets ball first IT WILL NEVER BE A PENALTY


PS

If you still think it is a penalty watch Connor Evans bloke isn't exactly selling it seriously like he was fouled and is adament it is a pen

The rules talk about intent, nothing to do whether you got the ball or not. (getting the ball only applies when Slater is the comentator) In effect you can miss the ball, miss the player and it can still be a free kick/penalty.
For what it is worth, I think it was a penalty. However it is a moot point.

[gny]

Back to the football,
Everyone should be heading to musswellbrook v beresfield tomorrow should be a ripper

[The Dreaded Keeper]

Definitely a moot point. I'll head off back to my lowly Zone League 2 forum now, but in closing, Connor shifted the ball before the keeper got there, the keeper led with his feet, he slide through the attacker and it's an obvious pen, but thanks for your clouded judgement. However unbelievable it was.

If they had the squad available all year probs would have finished in the play offs, anyways all is good, can't help long term injuries, happy to see asquith show his potential as a coach in first grade, maybe more clubs should look deeper into their coaching ranks when looking for a new head coach, as for where did we finish this year, I'll answer that tomorrow arvo, and yes, love my beer

You can if there preventable in jury's and I mean if the coaches training and recovery ideas are not correct.
Also you have to sign enough players to cover these injurys and suspensions so another responsibility of the coach. Maybe that's y Weston did better signing a guy who has a lot of coaching experience.

[punter]

You are correct, BEST are not all at Jets. There is a growing school of thought that a good strong club has more to offer.

Only thing in Jets youth favour is a great coach who gets the absolute best out of his young charges. Funny how the biggest issue with Emerging Jets is their coach LOL.........why anyone would pay $850 a year for GVE is beyond me

Because he is a quality youth development coach

Asquith is being retained for next season?

Easy job when your only looking after one grade, no home ground or committee to be concerned about

[ForeverRed]

Asquith is being retained for next season?
Yep

[punter]

Asquith is being retained for next season?

He seems to of done ok with the state cup and all so good to see he gets retained.
It would be a hard thing to do well in ya 1st year as a 1st grade coach.
Chapman won the state cup another good effort for ya 1st year.
Had there been any coaches done better in there 1st year as a 1st grade coach in this comp?

I kind of thought the same way.
Only club I could see him going to aside from Southy. IMO, if I was Asquith, I'd be sticking with Southy, looks to have the foundation for a strong team next year with injuries returning and a few new signings.

Glad/hope that he stays/gets retained.
I can see teams taking state cup qualification stages a bit more serious next year.
Chapman hasn't done badly, really, it's a pretty tight comp. if southy and magic win the jump to last is massive.

I wouldn't have thought not retaining him was an option. Limited coaches with accreditation these days makes it difficult. Asquith is only in his early 30's, he'd be the youngest by a long way. To have a club like Magic interested means that they must think highly of him. I've heard good things from a few experienced Southy players about the changes he's made on and off the field. Southy have tried to play some attractive football this year which has probably hurt them at times - although I watched them at lambton two weeks ago and they were excellent so their are positive signs.
Thing with Chapman is he's got arguably the best squad in Newcastle. He's had coaching experience with Adamstown and at a club like magic, expectations are high. I think by the middle of next week, Magic will have a new coach!

[stopper2]

The touchy was waving his flag furiously on that disallowed Jets goal. Not sure what he saw. I saw a goal and I was standing right behind him.

Heard chapman is gone and virgilli will be back in charge next year. Chapman has been seriously let down by his players this year. How do you expect to win games when you have 3 of your first grade side playing 3 games of futsal yesterday and another game at 11 this morning,hardly ideal preparation for a first grade footballer.
this has been going on for weeks,the same blokes travelled to port the weekend they played Olympic and played 4 games on Saturday before coming back to play first grade on the sunday. Surely the club couldn't condone this ?

To be fair Magic could have ended up as far north on the ladder as 5th or 4th with a couple different results, as could any of the teams, the ladder is very crowded. The table positioning is relevant to their year long poor performances but no team was a standout in my opinion.. Next time FR you visit magic park and go and have a beer in the clubhouse and you look up at the wall and you see "State Cup Winners 2014". So in my opinion the difference between being 7th or 9th on ladder, or for that fact coming 4th or 5th or 6th, and no silverware is negligible.

[ForeverRed]

Not sure why you mentioned me in your post, don't recall any reason why you needed to do this

[Tonester]

Had a laugh with today's Herald,anyone associated with Azzuri knows they have 5 players in firsts who are as individual as they come 2 up front 2 central midfielders (1 now departed) & 1 defender.

[Nufc1994]

Who would you say those azzurri players would be as far as what I have seen the two up front bleed blue

[Bremsstrahlung]

I dare say Tull is one of the ones alluded to, but I'd have to agree, they seem to love the club.

I recall goodchild left for southy the year they were relegated, then returned the following year. Smith stayed and helped. I think Tull went to Olympic for a year or 2?

What are you trying to say here, that the individuals are just selfish hogs or they dont care about the club ????

I think every team has there fair share of hogs but to name azzurri players not giving a crap about the club would be harsh.. i have nothing to do with the club but they are one team that sticks together...

[Tonester]

I won't argue the aforementioned players are Azzuri through & through,it is their method of playing in a team environment that causes concern.Years of being the kingpins & match winners is now stifling team progress,you just need to watch the decision making to realise who needs to be regarded as no.1.A umber of guys just don't follow simple instructions,they play their own game.

[Tonester]

I didn't say they don't care,it's about attitude in regard to instruction & following them.I know they love the club.

[Tonester]

Please don't think Im making derogatory comments in regard to the players,it's their team ethic as far as following instruction that causes my concern.I've seen every game for the last 4 seasons to notice a shift in attitude,cheers.

But can that attitude be cause by either lack of direction in coaching or issues over player selection like josh maguires walking out or higher issues within the club? With all the speculation in the paper azzuri sounds like they could be in a bit of trouble and or could do a Toronto financially no offence intended to the stags

Please explain ( do a toronto financially ) ?

You either have no idea, or know more then the blokes that do have an idea ?

[Bremsstrahlung]

Weren't there rumours/speculation floating around when they were relegated that the reason was:
A) Tull had an ongoing feud with NNSWF
And/or
B) Azzurri were in debt to NNSWF

Just recalling those being the reasons people suggested for their relegation. Tull's resignation as President was a direct result. And if I remember correctly, he was even quoted in the Herald stepping down 'to save his club from any further ramifications as a result of his personal feud'.

On phone but will see if I can find the story.

[Tonester]

Tull is definately a major concern at CCB,his blue with Jim Foley resulted in Edgy getting plenty of good players,his fallout with Steve Weight has split the club so that Charlestown Bowling Club has pulled the pin on their sponsorship,I know some players are ready to walk.

[Nufc1994]

Please explain ( do a toronto financially ) ?

You either have no idea, or know more then the blokes that do have an idea ?

My reference to Toronto was as I remember during 2011 that Toronto where loosing players and as I remember there first grade captain who was replaced on the program after a fallibg out with the club with a stags head due to there financial issues and the possible dissolving of the club thankfully they have somewhat resolved there issues and are still going, i was saying azzuri could continue down the same path if there "rumoured" financial issues are proven not intending any offence or stiring because no one what's to lose a club with a rich history due to financial issues! No offence intended towards Toronto just an example

[Tonester]

Spellcheck required!eh!

Just clarifying, the semi finals are being played today/tomorrow right?
4 v 5 at Azzurri today?
2 vs 3 at Weston Tomorrow?

NNSWNPL says they are being played on the 23rd/24th, so this weekend is empty. Seems odd to have a spare weekend.




EDIT:
Doing research, every single thing i can find says the semi finals are being played on the 23/24th.

Is this to ensure the NPL has its grand final last?

[Imyourhero]

There's defo a spare weekend, don't really know why. Whens Newfm gf scheduled?

[Bremsstrahlung]

Scheduled for the 7th i think. With NPL set down for the 14th.
So, obviously they wish to avoid the 2 being on the same weekend. But, bit of a farce that the premier league has a spare weekend. Some teams may play 2 games in 5 weeks.

If they are so worried about a backlog of washouts fix the drainage at the grounds then so games can be played more frequently in wet weather spells and you have no need for a spare weekend then.

FORMER Adamstown assistant Graham Law will return from Maitland to coach Rosebud next season, it was confirmed on Tuesday – a week after the move was flagged in the Herald.

It was also confirmed former Lake Macquarie coach Chris Turner will take over at Maitland for their return season in the Northern NSW National Premier League, an appointment which was first reported on the Herald website on Saturday.

Turner, who coached Zone Premier League club Kahibah this year, steered Lake Macquarie back to the NNSW top flight for 2011.

He last coached the Roosters in 2013, when he quit near the end of the season citing work commitments.

Lake Macquarie finished last this season under Gary Rowe and were relegated.

Law will replace former Maitland coach Anthony Richards at Adamstown.

Richards took over from Glen Chapman and and Law at Rosebud for their return to the leading division this year and guided them to eighth.

Under Law, Maitland ended 12 years of frustration in first division after securing the minor premiership and promotion on Sunday with an 8-0 thumping of Toronto-Awaba
