The way the tiers are going to work out for the 2nd half of the season there is literally one club across the whole program that could be considered a surprise.If parents expected,or were sold on a...

Please turn on your sarcasm detector.

Does anyone know if there are spare weekends set aside to play the last of the final catchups before switching into 3 divisions?I havent seen any set date that the 2nd half starts.As you said,lots of...

Thanks for the update.From what I have seen this year it wouldnt surprise if Maitland or Weston are the 4th team down and Belswans takes the final spot to stay in Div 2.Across the board that would be...

Yes,thats why my original post was more about promoting youth into 18s and reserves,if they leave 1st grade as a free for all then I'm ok with that too.I havent met anyone over the last 2 seasons who...

I was serious in wanting the game to change and it sounds like you want change too,so we agree there.We just differ on what we want to see and thats fine.I think NNSW needs to decide what they want...

I would like to see a system that almost forces clubs to play their own youth into seniors.Maybe 18s and reserves need to have a % of players who have played in the junior ranks,and a smaller % into...

I was always told that deal relied on another local club ground sharing but they werent keen on the idea.Im not sure its as simple as a choice between fields or an office.

I used a colloquial term in reference to something in the letter that was posted.Sorry if you didnt understand the point.

If the bit about locking the kids out of training is true then the bloke deserves all he gets and no club should touch him with a 10 foot pole going forward.

Any foul language is supposed to be punished with a card,exasperation or not.Any question of the officials integrity or any foul language directed at officials is supposed to be a straight red as per...

Im not 100% sure but from memory my son said that once scores/teamsheet data and cards are entered and confirmed on gameday via squadi they cant edit anything.So if theres any issues they can only be...

Im not sure what youre getting angry about Jim but I wasnt directing anything at you,or the post I replied to.The simple fact is there arent enough referees,so if anyone wants to help then theres an...

This year was the first year my son has been required to upload scores and information direct to squadi.This is done at halftime and full time and the centre referee is responsible for inputting it...

Great post mate,and well done to the kids and clubs for their support.Hope the whistle wasnt too rusty after 20 years.

My eldest son plays and referees in YPL.Just to add to some good points from earlier posts.When you pass the NNSW test to become a ref you need to nominate which comp you want to referee in.You...

Which NPL club though?Plenty of kids who make the Jets get poached from one club to another along the way.To think that their last club before the Jets was the one that really developed them isnt at...

From what Ive been told it wasnt one specific incident in Newcastle,rather a general unease at how referees were treated by crowds and coaching staff and the amount of young referees that have been...

Has there been any sanctions placed on Admastown for not fielding a team this year in one of the grades.I am assuming that Wallsend 18s are part of NIAS.Last year it didnt really matter for...

1.Please turn your sarcasm detector on I was joking.
2.Please re-read my previous posts regarding the importance of any of this,you'll see we agree.
3.Please re-read point 2.In fact,we agree on...

Im sure a certain club that had all games called off would be more than fine with missing the next round because of draws.Anyway I'm glad they are staying as trails.We all had this discussion...

You only need to look at how many games were called off due to field protection,rain or heat to see that then trying to reschedule catchups midweek involving travelling teams was a night mare last...

Correct,and I'm assured that the home official supported the referees decision to abandon the matches today.So well done to him and the home club for prioritising the kids wellbeing.

Whatever the number as stated in the heat policy.Its not my department I just listened to what the referees decided.

The reading was several degrees over the threshold according to the referees.They had no choice.There was really only one person there in club gear carrying on,Im hoping it wasnt anyone on this forum...
