    Plague is funnier and possibly a better footballer.

    Plague is also more delusional.

    Seriously watching pre season friendlies is a ****ing joke

    It a glorified wank fest the commentary and when the club's playing treat it as a farce why bother watching the crap
    True, it is a soggy sao contest but it keeps the Hollywood crowd paying out $$ i guess.

    that was exactly what I was thinking. The lighting requirements are for TV, so if FOX aren't showing it, Bar TV aren't allowed to show it, then where is the issue?

    Whats that leave us with in Newcastle, about two grounds that we can have trials on unless they are during the day?

    It sounds a bit like they've (the FFA) shot from the hip. Some transparancey from the FFA is needed AND the application of these standards must be applied to the other clubs.

    It's certainly very restrictive.

    The Bar TV issue seems strange too. Must be something in the fine print about broadcasting partners of A-League teams. It's sad because the exposure of the product to 15000 people (using the numbers from the last game) could aid the club in this region.

    High time a few of the club's actually upgraded their lighting then to satisfactory levels

    It ain't like they can't afford it with the amount of coin going round in the NPL

    All businesses can easily afford infrastructure upgrades if they deem wages an optional cost. For some reason it doesn't happen..

    That article also mentions Alessi
    I was of the belief that he was a right back, but article makes it seem that he plays centre back

    He played mostly RB for WSW. I distinctly remember a game we played down there in which Hoole absolutely destroyed him.

    I've heard in his recent Youth games in NPL he has been playing both RB and CB.
    OK

    Could the lighting issue be something the PFA have put in place regarding player safety?
    Maybe they deem a poorly lit playing environment as a hazard?

    just spit-balling ideas.
    it doesn't seem to make much sense

    Possibly. Are NPL players covered by the PFA (Are they deemed professional?)? If not, perhaps that explains why they can play catch up games at the grounds at night. It's an interesting angle.

    It's highly unlike the FFA to not be transparent on a subject like this. <SARCASM>

    If its that much of a safety issue, we better shut down friday night comps on suburban parks.

    some absolutely shocking takes from the double eff ay as usual.

    how could something like the bar tv thing possibly be a bad thing for football in the region?
