Some decent football was played and it was exciting. The 19s game was very exciting with southy winning a 4-3 thriller in the last minute with 10 men. Was alot of passion and emotion which was good to see. Was quick and exciting , what they lack in technique they make up with effort. Alot of ex phoenix players now at southy which gave the game abit of spice ! # of them got on the scoresheet and one of them celebrated by pointing at the gunners symbol while running pass the phoenix bench, Was very funny to watch and showed that the game meant alot to the player . ill be deffo going to watch more youth games when i can.
Did hear bout that goal celebration. Also heard one of the pheonix officials thought the player went abit over the top?? What do you reckon I personally think it's ok to doQuote:

The Jets priorities are different. I can't imagine they give a crap about the league result, it's more developing the youth to play for the seniors, and if that means Hoole, Pepper etc don't play for a bit, then so be it. And NNSWF can't punt them, because the FFA would come down on them as its part of their vision for the future of the Y-League teams.Quote:

You must have been watching a different game to me. I thought the first half was played at a high intensity and was great to watch. Thought it was a tough send off on young finlayson yellow at best. Dont see how you come up with jets easily on top at this stage? Apart from Olympic gifting the jets a goal after 30 seconds I can only remember swancott making that great save just before halftimeandnothaving a great deal more to do whereas the young jets keeper made some good saves and Olympic could easily have scored one or two more in first half. Olympic lead 2.1 but jets EASILY on top? Second half deteriated but Olympic should have scored another 5 against the 10 manQuote:

A few of these "kids" were playing for NSWIS last season and should have been blooded into the Youth team during the NYL season. Instead we saw players like Jesic, Ribeiro, Pepper and Regan regularly playing NYL and then at the end of the season we give ourselves a pat on the back and say it was our most successful NYL season because we finished 3rd!Quote:

Fair pointQuote:

I'm not saying this is the case but from your comments I feel you are.Quote:

Its part of football, people only get the shits because they don't have the luxury of doing the same.
was still a crappy game thoughQuote:

The same condition in the contract that sees Zadko fishing in the NT Heskey back in the UK Birra sun himself on some beach and Bridges playing golf.
In another month or two they will reform at Ray Watt Oval each day for pre season training hopefully under the tutelage of some bloke other than the Egg
Maybe the likes of Hoole Pepper Oxborrow etc are actually living it up enjoying their youth and holidays like they should be doing
Maybe the Jets don't have any choice at this point in time and have to play the younger players in the squad.
Maybe it should be remembered that they exist in this comp for development purposes. Keep an eye on the big picture etc etc
That's bullshit, clubs are are spending thousands just to exist and these muppets seem to do as they please, move em on I say, feed the players out to the clubs and let them toughen em up, NBN doesn't need the jets,Quote:

No doubt the nbn league is strong enough without the jets, no argument at all.
Yet having the Jets there sees the local clubs get an extra home game a season and a possible large turnout as many Jets fans trundle down to some suburban oval to watch the Jets Yoof play and throw a few dollars into the NBN clubs coffers.Quote:

Just keep moaning.
The Jets team wins games and you moan that it is unfair that they hve better calibre of players. They lose and you still moan that they ain't playing their best team.
You will only be happy when they play their best players and get beaten
FFS Make your minds up
Having jets youth play in NBN as I see it can only strengthen the other clubs down the track, if they don't make senior team they will come back to play in another club at some stage and have hopefully benefited from the youth training and can pass this on to their new team mates
[QUOTE=magician;35618]Of cause it was, southy wasn't playing[/QU
say it as i see it, no need to get personal
so in 6 weeks time when they have their strongest line up its all fair, ask the club that has to play them that day, then the following week egghead decides to take 4 or 5 players to a trial yet they field under 16s in nbn, somehow its not fair, also i dont see having an extra home game has anything to do with fairness, besides, a few mums and dads dad make you richerQuote:

Maybe then your ****ed up views will be less clouded and more realistic.Quote:

So what if they play their younger players thats there perogative to select whoever they like. Southys coach is quite within his rights to purge off all your long ball larry blokes and pick a pile of kids if he feels that is the way he wishes to go.
On another note Forever Red your bluster and carry on in this subject is for a team currently at the bottom end of the table after 3 rounds. What makes you think that they are certainties to start stringing a pile of wins together and all of a sudden dominate the league???
Maybe the other clubs should just win all their other games.
Then the results against the Jets wouldn't really matter would they?
Pretty obvious really.
Or is it just me?
Since where is it that I said the NBN League is solely a development ground for the Jets Youths Games??Quote:

That is the purpose for the Jets Yoof team to be in the NBN League
What of other clubs and their purpose in the NBN??
Magic Olympic Edgey are probably there to win it. Southy Cardiff Weston to hopefully have a good year and go deep in the play offs
Jaffas to establish themselves in the League
Weston Phoenix Lakes are hoping to avoid the trap door of coming last and move up a few rungs on the ladder.
They all have different goals.
Why is it that important to you that the Jets win games???
If any clubs season is resting on the Jets fielding a weaker side then you are obviously got bigger issues. You have 18 games with 2 of those against the Jets to decide the course of your season. If you ****ers are left bitching coz so and so got a cheap 3 points against the Jets coz the Jets were missing 6 players and that cost you a semi spot may I then suggest that the other 16 games of your season where you dropped points were the ones that ACTUALLY cost you a semi spot and you DO NOT DESERVE TO BE THERE ANYWAY.
Why should I care about what efforts are made at clubs to make them successful?? All clubs work hard to achieve some success just because your club puts in effort doesn't mean it is entitled to success. All I see is that you guys have a rival you despise because they have a few things going for them.
How about you guys knuckling down and trying to beat them fair and square and prove you are better than them. Magic didn't roll over for the Jets last season and took it to them and come out on top 3 out of 3 times by backing themselves and belieiving in what they do. Why is that so hard for you weaker clubs to do??
