Really, who gives a fat rat's bum what colour or brand boot kids wear? If parents want to spend $100 or $300, that is their choice. Next it will be haircuts!
As for promoting "professionalism"....good coaching, expectations around attitude and behaviour go a lot further toward that then the colure of a shoe.
I was once told, if you’re gonna wear flash boots, you better make damn sure you can back it up, because everyone’s attention will be on you.
That was when white or coloured boots were starting to come into the mix a lot more. Now most wear coloured boots, the black boots stand out.
All seems a bit silly. But if we’re mandating a boot, Copas.
@Hunter403 I didn't say I agreed
But yes, can we get rid of kids with mullets, the mullet of 2023 is even worse then the shitty mullets of 1993 :P

Heard a bit of controversy at Magic Park on the weekend. One player ran half a field and attacked an opposition player, the opposition coach jumped in to break it up. The club from the first player is demanding a long term ban
I heard the 15?s game was a wild one and the Magic coach received a red and may miss a whileQuote:

Were you these sap?
Then do elaborate if you know more cause I think a few people all are hearing a very similar story and I?m sure it?s not from the one person. Usually where there is smoke there is fireQuote:

Saw that Football Victoria conducts their youth Pro/Rel on a team by team basis...surely this would have been a better model for us to have adopted, allowing for underperforming clubs to build and grow (without the risk of an overperforming team suffering a collective punishment, and being a target for poaching)
This is following on from a post from South Melbourne FC last night pointed out how they had just finished being graded for their youth NPL teams, and finished with 2 teams in Div 1, and a team each in Div 2 and 3
Shame we didn't adopt this model
I agree this is the perfect model from a competitive point of view and it will be interesting to see at the halfway point how many outliers there are.To change to this system would be a massive logistic exercise and unless there were a lot of teams impacted I cant see NNSW justifying it.I also think playing the 18s in the same structure as youth has been a huge mistake.Quote:
