And here they are, the ugly side of football raises its head again. Salty parents carrying on. I guess you all must know more than a guy that’s played for Holland. Kew should have just asked people in this forum who to pick in the team.

Parents on here really dont need to be bagging the selection of 12 years old kids who have just achieved something really cool.Heaps of kids will be upset to miss out and thats fine.But some of the unexpected selections i heard are really talented kids and maybe they are there because they fill a specific skill set rather than just picking the best 16 centre mids and strikers.The jets need to be a team,temperament matters,coachability matters and it looks like thats what they tried to do.If you dont agree,ok but bagging out selectors and kids is pathetic.As Doopche said,id trust the selector more than random internet parents.
Have a year or two in the NPL space before you make your mind up about how you think football works in Newcastle. I can tell you across age groups there's some that have had suspensions and others have been repeatably pulled up on behaviour. It is just best to put no weight on the selections and progress football away from being worried about selections like this. Its nice if it happens but it often doesn't mean someone is a better footballer than someone else. It's just football in Newcastle.Quote:

When people ask I often link it to a 100m race in athletics, you know you lost if you come second or third because simply the other person was faster on the day. In football, you can come first and the person waving from the stands gets selected.
I dont think anyone on here is throwing kids in the bin if they didnt make the Jets.Nor should they be writing kids off if they didnt make TSP, NPL or any other desired level.I just find the argument of shitting on kids achievements because others think they know better laughable.If you, Aegon or me get to pick the team from kids we've watched we will come up with 3 completely different teams and people will have a problem with that too.The 13's team has been picked,im happy for the kids that got in.As for hemorrhaging footballers,who are the people trashing kids that dont make it?Id say 90% of them are parents who throw their toys out if their kid doesnt get in,but probably dont take the time to ask why they didnt get in and learn from it.How that can be the fault of NNSW is beyond me.Out of control parents are the biggest cancer in the program,as they are in all sports.How you get rid of them and keep the kids happy and motivated would require a much bigger brain that mine.Your line about "it often doesn't mean someone is a better footballer than someone else" is spot on.The Jets are building a team and different factors need to be taken into account.Quote:

So you're either a stalker or a groundskeeper then?
You are 100% the guy that runs that SAP page on Facebook. Pretty obvious. Makes sense now you know so much about everything that goes on at other clubs.Quote:

Head on over to https://viva10.myshopify.com/collect...tle-jets-21-22 . For $200 you can get your kids a Jets kit and a training shirt and they can pretend they are in the Jets, for 10% of the price of being in their junior squads. That’s mostly what its about right? 30% better coaching and development, 20% recognition and 50% dickwaving you’re in the Jets.
The gap between Jets and NPL clubs is narrowing.0
Stick to NPL or whatever and enjoy the game, play the game for fun, develop and learn in a different environment and try again.
Selections for anything never please everybody. Use it as motivation to be better or to learn to deal with disappointment.
Feel sorry for the kids if this is the reaction from SOME parents. Sure, be disappointed for your child, or nephew or random kids you watch on weekends, but maybe try setting an example for how they should react to setbacks.
If you didn't say you played for Valentines O/35s the rest of your profile matches that bloke lolQuote:

A Jets selector at Magic? Hahah since when? Pretty sure Magic wouldn’t have a double agent taking their best kids away from the club. Sounds pretty stupid to me. Considering they weren’t happy when Jets took 5 kids from same team only last year.Quote:

Damian Zane his role is more than just head coachQuote:

Well it was closed because a player from the coast got an exemption from NSW Health to travel and people from Magic started naming and abusing the player on the forum.Quote:

What a completely different football experience it is as well compared to boys football in general.
Magic FB saying 5 kids picked 4 jets but ppl on here saying 6. 1 said no or ppl on here full of it?Quote:

At least 1 has said noQuote:
