Magic improved out of sight this week
Winning 2-1 at HT v Jets Yoof
Jets won 20s 4-2
1-1 draw in 18s

How good is Jack McLaughlin at the moment
Just watching it on bartv. How the **** can NNSW allow football to be played at this mine field.Quote:

How embarrassing
HT at Windy Hill
1-1
Jaffas on top but an equaliser out of nothing at the end of the first half from Ryan Clarke
I assuming it him and not someone else
Still surprised these blokes at Maitland are playing in this light rain.
What gives today ??
U20s and 18s 3-1 both grades to Maitland
Jaffas now 2-1 up
But they now down to 10 after a second yellow
FT 2-1
Jaffas the dominant side for 65 mins until they ended up at 10
That was the catalyst for Maitland getting a foothold in the game
Even then they couldn't get across the line
Jaffas the superior side by along way
Don't know how these Maitland blokes so high up the table based on this display
Chelsea dominated by Man U in a 2-0 loss the other week, can't believe they've won the Premier League. Absolute embarrassment of a competition.
A luckless 1-1 draw for Olympic against Lakes,
Don't believe this is the correct thread for this post,maybe you could start a new one,you could possibly name it thread for wankers.Quote:

I scratching my head how they so high up the ladder based on what I seen
May have been an off day for them but if that is their normal standard then they a bit behind the top teams
Weston not much better , and Lisle Carr not far behind .Quote:

Edgeworth have had other problems . Weston is the worst I've seen it .
But try selling that to all these new age " entitled parents" . They must play on the main pitch and that's that .
You don't get to play on Marconi Stadium unless it's a Grand Final till your a senior player .
It now seems a god given right that every 13 year old needs to play on any club's #1 pitch .
All clubs should have a 2nd venue .
And here we go again. Ned starts blaming parents for everything, then complains that the discussion doesn't belong in this blog. At least we can assume Neds not a parent and be thankful for him not diluting the gene pool.Quote:

then you will see other codes fields only being used a couple of times a week and council throwing money at them
Not real good, I'd heard he died.Quote:

If you pay NPL type fees, you should be GAURANTEED you get two sessions a week on acceptable standard training facilities. This doesn't happen.
The people who administer the game don't give a toss about the standard of training and playing facilities outside of Speers Point Then, if you want to train in the wet weather, you pay NNSW $100 per hour for a 20 x 30 five a side pitch.
What a business they have there! Time to invest something back into the game I would have thought.
All clubs should have a second venue??Quote:

But from a NNSW point of view, player races are more important than the surface!
The Women's Premier League looks like it might have to comply with the NEWFM facility requirements next season, so some of the clubs are going to have to find facilities that do.
Council suggesting MORE sharing of facilities, like what happens at Adamstown #1.
I would have to check, but I suspect that it is a NNSW requirement for the youth to play their main games at complying facilities.
Well maybe if they paid their players less money it wouldn't be an issue??Quote:

Question though that has to be asked if the majority in Sydney's NPL can have artificial pitches then how come not one of our clubs has made the effort to get one ??
I'm not sure artificial pitches are that great tbh.
If you can properly maintain your first pitch, it shouldn't be necessary.
We used to train at Glendale once a week, that field was brilliant. Flat, no bobble, short grass, bit of dew on it, it was brilliant.
Artificial pitches are all weather, but that's kinda where the positives stop. Give me a good grass pitch over artificial any day.
How do hybrid pitches compare? I imagine it'd be much much more.
This is probably the most real comment i have read on the Foz for a long time, it is something i know a lot of club experience. We are really the only code who require the pitch to be in its best possible condition. The lack of money and effort put in by councils, associations etc is embarrassingly low and yet you have clubs with volunteers putting in their own time (and a heap of it) and clubs money to improve the facilities and fields the best they can all for others to come in and ruin it with the quantity of traffic. It really does feel like you are fighting a losing battle!Quote:

The youth teams still get a good run on the better fields, however there would be no way they would be training on them during the week.

Pretty sure the only comments were on the injury replacement rules. You can't sign a player on injury waiver from the local league. You're only allowed to sign players outside the league which was a rule change from this year.
You can take what you want from a reporter who cuts and pastes the comments he chooses to create an article to get people talking. If you're that ignorant to not realize that, then there isn't much more that can be said to you - believe what you like.
The funny thing is in the same article Zadcovich went on to say that he likes promoting youth anyway. So his gripe did not make sense.Quote:
