Can we get back to football please, if you want a good feed go to Darby st, I go to watch footy and drink beers
Managed to get out and watch the youth games between southy and valentine and quite enjoyed it.
Some decent football was played and it was exciting. The 19s game was very exciting with southy winning a 4-3 thriller in the last minute with 10 men. Was alot of passion and emotion which was good to see. Was quick and exciting , what they lack in technique they make up with effort. Alot of ex phoenix players now at southy which gave the game abit of spice ! # of them got on the scoresheet and one of them celebrated by pointing at the gunners symbol while running pass the phoenix bench, Was very funny to watch and showed that the game meant alot to the player . ill be deffo going to watch more youth games when i can.
I enjoyed it. I reckon it is fine, it just shows abit of passion and how much it meant to him. He did play very well aswell. I am pre sure that is the same phoenix official who was giving him stick before the game and called him a f*ing idiot before the game. where you at the game ??
23s Olympic 5-2 jets.
1st Olympic 4-1 jets
How can this be a fair and even comp when the Jets clearly have kids who are not up to it playing at the moment and are easy fodder but in a few weeks the better players come back and start winning games? If the Jets don't take the comp serious enough to play their best 11 week in week out then they should be punted until such times that they do. Rant over.
The Jets priorities are different. I can't imagine they give a crap about the league result, it's more developing the youth to play for the seniors, and if that means Hoole, Pepper etc don't play for a bit, then so be it. And NNSWF can't punt them, because the FFA would come down on them as its part of their vision for the future of the Y-League teams.
You must have been watching a different game to me. I thought the first half was played at a high intensity and was great to watch. Thought it was a tough send off on young finlayson yellow at best. Dont see how you come up with jets easily on top at this stage? Apart from Olympic gifting the jets a goal after 30 seconds I can only remember swancott making that great save just before halftimeandnothaving a great deal more to do whereas the young jets keeper made some good saves and Olympic could easily have scored one or two more in first half. Olympic lead 2.1 but jets EASILY on top? Second half deteriated but Olympic should have scored another 5 against the 10 man
It's not as simple as stating..."the Jets clearly have kids who are not up to it playing at the moment". A few of these "kids" were playing for NSWIS last season and should have been blooded into the Youth team during the NYL season. Instead we saw players like Jesic, Ribeiro, Pepper and Regan regularly playing NYL and then at the end of the season we give ourselves a pat on the back and say it was our most successful NYL season because we finished 3rd!
I have no doubts these "kids" will come good, it may take half a season or so but they will get there. They just would have been better prepared if they had a lot more games under their belts playing in the NYL.
