And that's the koolaid they swallow. There are good and bad coaches at each level. I've seen some great coaches in lower levels working their butts off improving kids and doing as much or more than...

A couple of things here.
I agree that team by team would be better, but the logistics would be very difficult. Some teams could feasibly never (or rarely) get a home game and the opportunity to play...

COACH Rob Stanton hopes to lock down a player budget and get an understanding of the vision that the new owners of the Newcastle Jets have for the club at a meeting in Melbourne this week.

Hopefully those club championship tables will be meaningful soon. Some have only played twice.

Council can give the go ahead but the ref will have the final say. Things can change between an early morning call by a council officer and the match start time.

I agree that we are at times a bit...

If I recall correctly, grounds in Newcastle Council area are controlled by Council, so it is Council, not clubs that call off games. Magic are the only club with a non Council controlled ground.

Using offensive language is interesting. If it is used in a manner directed at the ref then off you go, and fair enough eg you're a f### idiot. However, if used in exasperation is it ref abuse or...

Robbed! Pen everyday of the week.

TBF, Northern have said that they will sit down with the clubs that are likely to be in the mix for promotion mid season and discuss what is required. Makes sense. Why engage with every ZL club now?...

Well done Cessnock!

The Budgie is a waste of a shirt. Had his pocket picked twice in 5 minutes. No idea what is going on around him.

Looking good so far

Leading 2-0 in the 90th minute, and I was still worried.....

Sure did!

Hmm, leading at half time, smurfs down to 10 men. Guaranteed loss coming?

If they are from the central coast, they won't have jobs. Maybe they were unavailable as they wouldn't give up their place in the dole line

Well, despite our best efforts we go to half time at nil all.

Hearing a Belswans player got marched for giving the ref a mouthful.

And yet ressies played

You're probably right but the comment about the red cards was, I think, aimed at all matches, not just that one example.

There have been some pretty soft ones as well as deserved ones

The ref's seem a little card happy now they have NNSW backing.

No one spat on anyone. As to pushing an official, I certainly didn't see it and I was right there. If it happened, I am sure the ref will put it in his report. Perhaps the speculation should end...

You heard wrong.

It is zero tolerance on ref abuse. No ref's were abused. The reds were for a bad tackle followed by head butt then one coach pushing the other and the second coach for trying to knock the block of...

Interesting draw. Kahibah play the team coming off the bye in every game bar 2.
