Even his mother is telling him to cop the punishment, learn from it, and come back and do better next season. Not the early rounds of next season of course.

You're probably right, not a lot of viable options to warrant automatic promotion as well.

That's your opinion and you, like everyone, are entitled to have a say. But while yes, it is called promotion and relegation, it hasn't always been around, and no doubt there was reason behind not...

Certainly it's a matter of choice, but 1st and 2nd in NPL2 need to be competitive. If they are in fact poorer options than last 2 places in NPL1 then perhaps they shouldn't be. Just a thought because...

That's where the plan might need some tweaking, but it would require 5th and 6th placed teams to lose to NPL2 teams for 5th place team to be relegated as well. Plan isn't designed for automatic...

How about 2 x 8 team competition, NPL1 and NPL2. 3 rounds for each division.
End of season - top 4 teams in NPL1 play normal semi/final competition, bottom 4 NPL1 teams play off with top 2 NPL2...

Anyone have more info on Magic Maitland game on weekend? I heard there was an altercation involving a coach and opposition player. Maybe this is a cover-up, but it didn't sound...

I guess this means Lisle Carr will be fine for Wednesday night. No late injuries affecting the weather forecast are there GO AWAY?
Or have you forgotten why Azzurri were being ridiculed?

It will still take a big turnaround for Olympic to make the finals.

Did they charge to get in even though 1sts didn't play? I'm sure they will need the cash to keep funding their retirees.

Agree 👍

Meeting in triage unit at John Hunter this morning decided ground unsafe for an ageing team due to large number of bandages, prosthetics and money belts swamping the pitch.

Well said and good luck with next season. Bringing that many new and established players into a team (I acknowledge many of them are returning) can get results, but on the negative side is the...

Don't you mean "t h a n k y o u"?

You do understand kids get older and don't stay in Youth forever!! I believe some of these kids are now playing first grade.
So very relevant to certain good and bad performances in Seniors comp.

Glad everyone slept through it, but flooding rain fell around 1 to 2 this morning.

The EJets are a year younger than their opponents so even sadder result for CCB. Expect the top 3 or 4 clubs to do similar jobs on Blues. The EJs will be up there but unlikely to dominate any of...

bj - Apollo was just repeating and questioning Italian Stallions comment. Your question should be aimed at the Mediterranean nag.

Zane was only there for a short time before going to Jets Youth. I think Deans has gone to WPL. Don't know about Bertos but has he been involved for long?
I did hear the baby smurf coach took the...

Of those who is still there? Short term appearances by decent coaches don't give long term results.

Should also stress that more should be spent to keep the better coaches and less on administration, ie. David Eland. Most of the best coaches that have been in the program have moved on. Being a yes...

Hopefully the coaches are improving with the Emerging Jets. Over the previous years they have had some very ordinary performers. Most had gotten their basic certificates and some had played a little...

Welcome Apollo. Watch out for an uppercut from a few Rocky wannabes.

Agree that hiding behind user names (as you and I are both doing now) and just criticising does little for football development. My own concern, however, has been the quality of coaching in the NPL...

Certainly the EJ's u15s did well in the end and showed the value of quality and a hugely greater volume of coaching/training. And with the EJ players among the better, as well as often bigger and...
