Olympic have been the best team I've seen this year by a long shot
mother where are you
I watched them play the Jets
It was a pretty even contest with Olympic probably just the better. Sure the Jets could have won but it was Olympics day.
From what I have seen they have been pretty solid in games I have seen involving them and the comment by Magician probably ain't far off the mark.
Or meet the criteria
Nisbett hauls in Rosebuds for a please explain, Eland realises it was their fault and swoosh she gets swept under the carpet quicker than you can say Sepp Blatter. NNSWF stuffed up. More to the point Alan Nisbett and his team stuffed up. Heads should roll if they are fair dinkum. Replay the FFA Cup fixtures, strip goals scored by Bates, you name it. There are thousands $ at stake and NNSWF cant make these mistakes.
Completely wrong, it was the FFA that got it wrong, get your facts right before posting

So basically Maitland and CCB are the only two clubs pissed off about the situation.... What about if those clubs look at their own operations and failures for being in a relegation battle instead of trying to cause further argument on the matter. If it was either of them they'd only expect what Buds have copped - nothing.
I thought Olympic were also not happy reading that.
Does say a lot about the small time mentality all about them attitudes of these clubs involved. The issue doesn't lie with Rosebuds that's why they ain't getting punished.
The issue lies with the governing bodies.
No these small time clubs are moaning to high heaven that it is costing them big time.
If Azzurri and Maitland were not so shit they wouldn't be in the relegation battle anyway. If Olympic think getting a draw against Rosebuds will cost them glory then just shows how small time they are. Over the course of the remainder of the season get more points than everyone else and they win the NPL title. If they don't win it will be down to their opposition playing better than them costing them it rather than some bloke playing for a rival club after a paperwork bungle costing them
The other 6 clubs acknowledge a **** up has gone on but actually show some perspective on the subject.
Small time mentality
Buds wins with bates in NPL: 1 in 7 games
Buds wins without Bates in NPL: 1 in 1 games
Just saying 1 man doesn't make a team
As for Charlestown didn't they beat buds....... think it's very poor that teams are kicking up a fuss to get points deducted from a team that has been found innocent of any wrong doing.
Poor old Northern, made a similar stuff up last year with international player rego. Must be slow learners out there or too focused on their new facility.
I think who cares. The legal/administrative aspect to the game doesn't help a team technically play better or worse. Heck, this is football. Who ever wants to play should just be able to play. Other than insurance, i wish it were like beach football, just rock up and play.
The paper work clubs have to put in is ridiculous. They get little to no help from Northern. Time to create an independent breakaway league lol.
Listen 4 never red, the FFA wouldnt know Rosebuds from a cotton bud or Guy Bates from Norman Bates. An ancilliary contract is ratified by the FFA after the local assoc completes its due dilligence and corporate governance. NNSWF already admitted blame champ, so facts dont need to be checked. This is not Buds fault, its Northern. Anyone who thinks they do a good job is delusional. Sepp fell on his sword. Time for a few others to follow out at Speers Point.
buds would of know if he was cleared or not. Only other club that would get away with this garbage is Magic
Chatting to committee about this topic over the last week i was told that a former (magic) player suspended as a result of accumulated cards last season did not get duly notified of his suspension (Magic didn't know where he was playing, and never attended preseason) and subsequently played against Magic (his first game for his new club) was therefore also an illegible played, anyways the game was a draw, result stood.
NNSWF to relook at rego/ suspension procedures for 2016... but all this negative publicity must be pretty frustrating for NNSWF. Instead of replacing the experienced people in the office that at least know most of the current rules, its obvious that they need help in overseeing the competitions now that it is a 7 team comp... i think the answer is more operations officers not replacing the ones we have.
P.S. Charlestown were relegated because there wasnt anyone wise enough inside the inner circle to tell them to understand the old saying "don't shit in the bed you sleep in"... Toronto and Lakes were 10X more diabolical in all factors inc. facilities, administration and results... but retained their position which leaves only 1 repose... They (Azzuri) really upset someone...
Surely there'll be no more wash outs this weekend
I wouldn't bet on it.
Weston is pretty good wet weather ground
Southy has stellar drainage and should be right.
The other 3 are a bit hit and miss.
Probably depend more on how much importance the appearance of the hallowed turf is placed by the clubs in the grand scheme of things.
Some seem to have far too much paranoia about the grass
Is it the clubs or the Council. Someone said Maitland were instructed to fix up their pitch by Council
There is no inner circle at azzurri, the club is run by one complete idiot and has got more than one person off side, he has the worse reputation of any one in the football fraternity, but the incompetence will continue until he and many others associated with the club look in the mirror for a very long time and see without their rose coloured glasses, the exact arsehole that every one else sees.
ask any person from any club in Newcastle and they will all tell you of a bad experience they have had with this fool.
Whether it was in poor condition is irrelevant. They actually played.
There is nowhere in the laws of the game that says the pitch must be well manicured and dry.
Every other serious football nation in the world plays in less than ideal conditions.
Why are we any different??
If games were called off in Europe for weather like they are here they would still be playing the 1889 season
Any scores from Adamstown
buds 2-0 without bates....
Maybe clubs should be thankful.
Watching 22's @ Maitland, and I know I'm being picky. But surely between the 3 refs at least 2 could wear the same kit. We're trying to raise the level of the competition, yet officials show up looking like a pack of Brown's cows. 3 refs and 3 different kits
CCB 1-0 penalty Magic missed one
Azzuri win 1-0 big result
