ya gotta larf though, guess who was on the sidelines for the matildas, old mate 9/11 himself, GVE
GVE has clearly had an immensely positive effect on the young'uns. His only role with the Matildas was to support his daughter.
Probably.
What isn't funny about a shit U/15s team flogging one of the best teams in women's soccer?Quote:

apologist in damage control ffs
All of it? 15 year old guys are still bigger and faster than fully grown women. You're expecting one of the best team in women's soccer, still made up of 50kg 150cm women to compete with 180cm+ guys?Quote:

Matilda's lost to Sydney FC U16 back in February as well
Go let some more goals in, will ya?
Matildas need to play a game against a Phil Stubbins coached male team to get their confidence back.Quote:

Only last week the state NSWCHS (that's NSW Combined High Schools) championships were held up at Nelson Bay. That's some of the best state school boys aged 13-16 year old running around from the south coast right up to the Qld border.
The opinion from an "observer" was that the boys from the Sydney regions are way ahead of boys from this region, in terms of technical ability, awareness and speed.
This gap is only going to get wider too if we in NNSW don't start investing in better coaching and start bringing in top coaches not only at youth development level but also NPL level.
I'm afraid could be a while before we see the next "Nick Cowburn" come up through the NNSW ranks/Jets youth to play at A League level if things don't change.
Lulz at the Daily Mail's take. Its headline:

And the comments ...
moving on, the emerging jets are now CHAMPIONS get on the cans lads, only Leed or Mellow Yellow though
So physicality is all that matters?Quote:

Try being 5 feet tall and defending against a 6ft defender with 30kg on you.
4 of the 7 goals were scored from crosses. Positioning was fine but how does being smart prevent you from being out muscled and out jumped in that situation?
While I think everyone is overreacting as it was a training run and the girls were missing heaps of player I simply can't stand this excuse. I've read it so many places. Crosses can be stopped before they get into the box. As a jets fan there's no way I'll excuse any goal next season because someone taller then our defenders out jumped them. Yeah it happens but it's not an excuse to sit back and say oh well.Quote:

The Matilda's don't play in the Newcastle U15s comp so the result is useless by itself, they need to be beating teams in the Women's World Cup and qualifiers, this match doesn't really affect that.
It also has nothing to do with the pay variations either. The Matildas deserve to be paid based on the time and effort they put in and the amount of income they bring to the business. And that is a totally different conversation than this thread.
Can we please stick to bagging out our local juniors in this thread and take our sexism to another thread?
None of what you just said has anything to do with what I said... Where was I being sexist? Whether it's boys vs girls, girls vs girls, boys vs girls you can just say "oh it's ok that goal went in cause the attackers taller".Quote:

Also what points am I trying to prove are wrong? Apart from the crosses one?Quote:
