2015 NPL Youth

[Quare Caeruleum]

Well i can tell you with absolute certainty that I have been called a very naughty boy way more often than a football genius !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Res ipsa loquitur

Res ipsa loquitur

common law..................................wow.......... ......now who is smart enough to be a solicitor ?????

[The Northern Defender]

Do you know how CCB 17's went ???

Fmnc won the 17s 5 nil and in fact completed a clean sweep. Game started out close but fmnc gradually took control and did not look like conceeding. Both now have one win each.
what do people think of this travel to port mac and taree and should these guys and possibly other zones be a big part of a future npl comp.?

Too far and no

[Doggydingo]

Too far and no

Rather go to Sydney for better teams and competition leading to much better player development. I forgot to mention less teams with hackers (struggling players) out to cause an injury or win at whatever cost just because the game is moving to fast for them to keep up with.
I watched a game on weekend between hamilton and edgie ...... Disgusting edgie just out to hurt players....
Coach needs to be chatted by his own club officials.....

Mate........I love a road trip.............but seriously Football Mid nth Coast need to get into the 90's ....................it's like we travelled back in time last sunday at Wayne Richards .........

were do we start...........................

The Pitch.................absolutely terrible, grass was 6 inch's long or there were big hole's
the Line markings.............non existant, in fact if the referee's knew any rules they would not have allowed the games to be played
The Ref's.............to old and to friendly with the locals..............in our game the ref knew every player by first name
No fences............ground is surrounded by either car park on two sides or open filed on the other two sides...........so easy to kick the ball into the car park for a 2-3 minute chase................oh and one game ball

no duty officers..............
crowd...........back to U/6's..............parents sitting 1m from field...................the crap from a couple of parents was disgusting.

I believe Olympic and now CCB have made official complaints to NNSWF about games played and thank god they have. It really is a disgrace.

Yes Sydney would be far better option, the trip to Port is hazardous

It seems that FMNC get VERY special treatment from NNSW. In the WPL they are the only "Club" allowed to have players dual registered into the local competition and the WPL. All Newcastle based clubs are banned from doing it....

Could not agree more, facilities are definitely sub-standard, both at Taree and Port Macquarie, but especialy the latter. Refereeing is average at best, and yes, seems like every official knows most if not all players from MNC.

Well how many referees would you expect that they have who can ref at NPL youth level? Newcastle continually has the same small group of refs do it down here.

Didn't mean to set you off Blue but I thought this might stir up some comment. At least you enjoyed the road trip though!
But the condition of the field and the field situation is poor and from what I understand the local council has let everyone down in this regard but I am not sure what role FMNC could play in that.
As for the refs- well yeah they were average at best but I am not sure that any favouritism was given as from what I saw it was ordinary for both sides.
I too heard some comments (but from both sets of supporters) that were definitely not acceptable and to be honest have done for the last couple of weeks so maybe this is something that needs to be looked at by NNSWF as it would seem to me to breach the code of conduct. Duty officers would have helped definitely.
Unfortunately though FMNC does not appear to have the resources of some of the Newy clubs.

Only when you get out of the car Blue!

The issue is not that the ref knows all the players, as that undoubtedly happens in Newcastle too. The fact is, when playing at Port, the old ref's use the players name and spend time at half time with players parents on the sideline. When that happens, and the home team gets a few calls go their way, certainly leaves traveling NPL sides feeling hard done by.

Yeah, alright, that's dodgy. But you go to any of the more remote locations in the Interdistricts and the same thing happens, so it's not completely unheard of, but for NPL games it shouldn't be on.

[Y Bloo?]

Anyone checking out the Telstra youth challenge at Speers Point? Have you heard Clayton Zane is coaching EJ'S 15s?

[Y Bloo?]

Any scores from todays games? Weston v Maitland and Hamilton v Broadmeadow I think.
