How good is Jack McLaughlin at the moment
Just watching it on bartv. How the **** can NNSW allow football to be played at this mine field.
A ball was just passed to a valentine player who went to boot it and the ball hit one of the million holes and Bunny hopped virtually straight over his head.
How embarrassing
HT at Windy Hill
1-1
Jaffas on top but an equaliser out of nothing at the end of the first half from Ryan Clarke
I assuming it him and not someone else
Still surprised these blokes at Maitland are playing in this light rain.
What gives today ??
U20s and 18s 3-1 both grades to Maitland
Jaffas now 2-1 up
But they now down to 10 after a second yellow
FT 2-1
Jaffas the dominant side for 65 mins until they ended up at 10
That was the catalyst for Maitland getting a foothold in the game
Even then they couldn't get across the line
Jaffas the superior side by along way
Don't know how these Maitland blokes so high up the table based on this display
Chelsea dominated by Man U in a 2-0 loss the other week, can't believe they've won the Premier League. Absolute embarrassment of a competition.
A luckless 1-1 draw for Olympic against Lakes,
That's probably the worst pitch I've seen for an npl game ever at edgeworth today, including Cahill oval, not worth the entry fee
Weston not much better , and Lisle Carr not far behind .
All clubs will tell you it's down to overuse
Club's need to do what they do in Sydney and lots of other places . That being play their youth teams at an alternate venue .
Grounds , mostly maintained by volunteers , simply cannot cope with around 140 games a year , that includes trials .
Edgeworth have had other problems . Weston is the worst I've seen it .
But try selling that to all these new age " entitled parents" . They must play on the main pitch and that's that .
You don't get to play on Marconi Stadium unless it's a Grand Final till your a senior player .
It now seems a god given right that every 13 year old needs to play on any club's #1 pitch .
All clubs should have a 2nd venue .
councils need to start understanding that football is the most played sport in the county (and will continue to grow) and start allocating fields and funding based on that
we currently share a field with rugby league, AFL and cricket and despite our best efforts to maintain it (without any help from other codes or council) the amount of traffic is starting to wear the grass down as it get used 6 or 7 days of the week
then you will see other codes fields only being used a couple of times a week and council throwing money at them
And NNSW football who have been administering the game for decades (80 + years) and all they have to show for it in Newcastle is 3 full size training pitches built at Speers Point 3 years ago (Plus the 5's cash cow). NNSW Football is a gravy train where they use volunteers to collect their fees for them.
Players are asked to pay healthy rego fees and are expected to train on third world training facilities which can't handle a few days rain.
If you pay NPL type fees, you should be GAURANTEED you get two sessions a week on acceptable standard training facilities. This doesn't happen.
The people who administer the game don't give a toss about the standard of training and playing facilities outside of Speers Point Then, if you want to train in the wet weather, you pay NNSW $100 per hour for a 20 x 30 five a side pitch.
What a business they have there! Time to invest something back into the game I would have thought.
But from a NNSW point of view, player races are more important than the surface!
The Women's Premier League looks like it might have to comply with the NEWFM facility requirements next season, so some of the clubs are going to have to find facilities that do.
Council suggesting MORE sharing of facilities, like what happens at Adamstown #1.
I would have to check, but I suspect that it is a NNSW requirement for the youth to play their main games at complying facilities.
