The wannabe egos in this town is a joke. From the coaches who arent very good, to parents who think their precious kids are going pro, to the kids themselves who really cbf. I love the kids who take the piss on the field and have fun. Some of those have some talent as well.
Here comes the same old strawman argument again.Feel free to go back through this thread and quote how many times someone on here is posting about their kid being the next Messi or how NPL=EPL.Majority of parents on here just discuss stuff that is going on with their kids as they enjoy their sport.The problem is some people in the sport (adults) are the ones who take it too seriously so by bringing these issues out into the light maybe the kids will get a better experience from it.Sport in whatever form is a massive part of our kids lives and one we are very lucky to have in a country like Australia.But having a bit of discussion about how the sausage is made isnt the problem people like you are making it out to be.
