There are the obvious indiscretions, like the ones we've all seen, no problem, they deserve the time.
Then there are the lopsided free kick count even though both sides are equally fouling each other. Seen this a few times this year. I like the zero tolerance rule. Should also apply to the officials.

It is funny when you see a lino swear because the "wrong" team scored. 😅

Olympic recently. North Coast every week.

Hilarious. At least North Coast will have 2 linos.

Biggest problem with the "no tolerance" policy is that some refs give it hard, others let it go. The difference is 6 weeks or more suspension for some, others get away with it. depends which clubs the refs, even the kids, don't really like. too much power & inconsistency never works.
Might be time to forfeit until they get it right.

An under 15s player just got 13 weeks for spitting on a ref*.But I guess that ref deserved it he no doubt had a grudge against the club.Just so you are aware the refs dont issue suspensions,thats the job of the adults at HQ.

*an edit to this post.I was told the player spat at the feet of the referee,Others on here have objected to where the spit landed.My point about the suspension remains.

Just to add some context to some of the more lame statements Ive read on here.So far across all NNSW matches (outside of 1st grade) there has been 7 incidents of match official abuse resulting in suspension.Its not the epidemic some people on there are making it out to be and maybe the 7 who copped it were actually guilty and deserved it.If some people on here spent more time educating the guilty players rather than blaming the match officials they may get better outcomes long term.

The above chat that I can see is you protecting refs who arent doing the right thing on major issues like send offs.
And casting aspersions without evidence on kids is a abuse. What a germ.

So why did the kid get a 13 week suspension?Its a simple question.Please answer it.If I am wrong I will gladly delete posts and apologise.I even amended my intiial post to make it clearer what I was told had happened.If it didnt,please fill me in.

Locking the thread, as usual, adults can’t be trusted discussing youth football without behaving like children themselves.

EDIT

Re-opened the thread for people to be able to share good content like their own club championship tables, etc.

I had to re-read through 16 pages of conversation to clean up the many insults and posts against forum rules. My own fault, I haven't been paying enough attention to the thread.

4 forum members have been given a 1 month ban.

Lets hope we can keep this civil going forward because any further descent into petty name calling will result in the thread being closed for the rest of the 2025 season.

You would think Northern could keep the club championship up to date. Most recent version is March 19.

In summary it looks like Cooks Hill, Weston and Mid Coast are dropping into Div 2.Everything else is pretty tight.

Latest as @ 8/4.

Going to be a long year for some teams when they make top 8 because enough of the other clubs teams did well.

One club having 2 age groups with zero points after 5 rounds and their other 3 age groups being undefeated is a pretty interesting stat.I think the other 2 age groups will be fine by seasons end though.

Div 2 if you have the time? Looking at the tables Southy and Charlestown look like making B but the last 2 could be a lottery

From what I saw Kahibah look good as well.4th spot is a close but 2 teams that stayed last year (Belswans and Rosebuds) are quite a bit back.Stags and Westy a chance.

Based on last year, Olympic had a team in this position...by the end of the 2nd phase they had gotten only a single point

Not sure anyone can just say those 2 teams will be fine by seasons end

I am not sure that is correct. This is what I have for 2024.

I get your point but have seen one of those 2 teams a few times this year and how they havent won games let alone draw any surprises me.They play some good football and would still consider them one of the best 8 teams in their age group.It will be interesting to see where they are when the split happens.
