is this a good choice??? what experience does he have in a full time coaching role? from what i have heard, he has only been reserve grade and assistant coach to the 1st grade team in New Fm comp.... i think this all comes back to a poor initial choice from the Maitland club in their coaching choice, not a good start to life back in the top flightQuote:

From what we've all read, he's pretty much been running the team so far as is. I for one wish him the best but I guess just like any coaching job we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
He will be judged on his results. Just as all other coaches except phil stubbins areQuote:

Sthy weston 1-1 ht
Guy Bates scores a stunner off a free kick with a few minutes to go to send home crowd crazy and finish the game 2-2. Exciting finish to a pretty well-contested game. Hamilton looked the better side though.
The better side by a long way, controlled the game for majority of the game and I'm sure will be disappointed in not getting the 3 points.Quote:

Ref let a few things go and yes it was a clear penalty. NPL refs aren't anywhere near perfect but the guy tonight seemed like one of the worst.Quote:

Weston controlled first half and even though they had 10 men nicked a goal with a rare foray forward and then controlled much of second half.
Southy ball movement far too slow and offered little for most of night. Did get a header hit the bar and bounce down to line but correctly ruled no goal and a late 1 on 1 which Weston keeper made a great save.
As for FR's drainage sucking stellar work. Pitch was fantastic. May need to look at a bit of extra work on the South west corner which looked a bit iffy though
Said thing is, I think he's considered one of the best.Quote:

Ref at Ulinga was also shocking.Quote:

Let 2 studs up aggressive lunges go with yellows
Agree both were very good. Bates second goal was one of the best I've seen in this comp for a while. Kenneth was strong in defence and will be one of these most crucial players if they want to succeed this year. And yes the whole yelling and arguing was a bit much. Cooler heads always works out better, especially when dealing with younger players.Quote:

The old "Park the Bus" debate always bemuses me. If your team is structured and compact in defence as a unit and the opposition can't break that down, i don't see any issues with it at all.
No debate mate, I didn't criticise the tactic, I simply noted the frustration that Southy experienced in trying to break down the Weston structure. Personally I like the Southy style of play more, but each to their own!Quote:

FFS they wouldn't have a clue about strategy,tactics and coaching so stop the friggin dribble about parking the bus.

As a lover of Newcastle sports in general I relished the opportunity to see some action midweek getting along to see the southy vs weston game. Even though the game was fiery, there was only one way to describe the south cardiff fans and that is DISGUSTING! Well and truly crossing the line from sideline banter to just being crude. The duty manager did happen to find the lone vocal weston supporter and kick him out though. Can safely say this club will never get my $10 entrance fee again!
Forever... What did the Weston supporter say?
First I heard of it, I stood on the hill all night and heard and seen nothing out of the ordinary, even had a good chat after wards with weston folk, nothing mentioned, obviously he has nothing else to write about, if he had an issue maybe he could give me a call
Did you see the send off FR?Quote:

Alright for the UFC but when you just got booked anyway and done it for 20 seconds after the ref blew the whistle and still didn't relent what do you expect??
