Couldn't agree more! Perhaps whittle the northern pool and inter district/NEW FM pool down to a handful of teams and then throw the 9 NPL clubs in the mix. All today does is discourage the Interdistrict teams from entering the comp.Originally Posted by football_macigian23
Agree.
Hahahaaha... yesterday you guys were complaining that the NPL clubs would field weakened teams and that they would not take it serious... Seems like they took it serious and touched up a couple of teams... this is cup football... i guess there is no pleasing some people...
How about we get Northern to update the competition rules so that no team will get their feelings upset too much so the ref can just call full time at 6-0.

I was at both Azzurri and Muswellbrook games. Both were obviously one-sided. Have to give credit though to Azzurri who's bench and coach tried to have some fun with it and make a night of their game at Magic Park. Great to see about 30 or 40 guys behind the goals cheering them on. Neither Azzurri or Mussy threw in the towel. Azzurri especially kept fighting to get at least one goal and I would have been a nice moment to see them get it.
I've got some other results I haven't seen mentioned. Valentine beat Lakes 2-1, Maitland were 8-1 against Simba but my source left early, Singleton 9-1 over Merewether, Jesmond beat Morisset on pens (unsure on scoreline) and Dudley 7-0 over Medowie.
Magic scored 17. That's 3.4 goals per dollar paid To get in and watch. a great deal!!
I was way off lol!
When is the next round? Someone said in a few weeks
March 12. Draw done in next few days
As above I mentioned back in January that the FFA cup draw was ridiculas. The responses were all about that being 'part of cup football'. Sport is normally about a contest, And the results yesterday in at least 2 games show their was No contest. NNSW again got it wrong.
First round should have only been for league 2 and League 3 clubs.
Zpl and League one clubs could join in round 2.
NPL and NEW FM clubs could come in round 3.
That way the bottom league clubs would have to win at least 2 games before maybe drawing an NPL club.
I know Edgeworth preformed well in last years FFA cup and performed ok in NPL finals, but I feel this year is the year NNSW clubs need to back up Edgeworths performance and do well. It appears the NNSW NPL clubs have grown in recent years. Its time they show that the NNSW NPL is a decent comp.
At least Azzurri dont have to play Illusionists in Zone league 3.

Magic that is
No complains from Beresfield with the draw 2 games 2 wins over Newfm teams, shame no promotion because of the 'criteria'
Novocastria Youth
March 12?? NewFM will already be running comp games.
The old criteria debate raises its ugly head
Could Bero have gone to a different ground nearby that is criteria friendly?
Not too many criteria friendly setups in maitland area
Hawk I believe Bero are getting a new ground/facilities for 2017. In all it should set them up for the ability to move up. Then you have the argument that they can go up regardless of seasons results. In all honesty they are the form team and that's coming from a Cardiff lad but the ability of a club to get promoted on application only seems laughable.
The way things are supposed to be going. Who knows what criteria is going to be. The zones believe that they are going to cut the amount of newfm teams down either next season or one after. So how they will get promotion and relegation out of all that remains to be seen. Besides NNSW make up criteria as they go along to suit certain teams and I never see that changing
So Cardiff get back to the top (lol) So.....do you put out for sponsorship call Ourtown fence and put one up and step up OR are there too many other factors to care about it?
To much congestion of clubs around Cardiff. We know our situation and we know what we've got to do. We've spent a lot of time and effort on the off field side of things and bringing in youth and that's a base to work from. Our field is one thing we can't control.
So whos left ???
Azzuri, Magic, Olympic, Jaffas, Edgy, Valo, Maitland, Weston, Buds, / Belswans, Bero, Singleton, Jesmond, Thornton,
Who won Medowie V Dudley and Terrace v Westy
