2013 NBN State League Thread

[FaroeMassive]

Question for those in the know.

I was at the Jaffas vs Jets matches yesterday and I noticed that in the U17's fixture the Jets had 4 of their U16's squad on the bench. The match was a good even contest in the first half with the Jaffas taking the lead and the Jets equalising just before half-time.

At half time the Jets introduced the U16's players, and this noticeably changed the match with one of the U16's scoring 2 and setting up one of their 4 second half goals.

I'm not sure what the rule is and it doesn't really matter as these grades are all in the name of development anyway. However as the Jets agreed to play U15's, U16's, and U18's squads in the three lower grades (17's,19's,23's) are they allowed to play players who are older than the agreed age group in those grades if they are still under the age limit of the actual competition rules. For example, can a Jets 15 year old turning 16 this year play in the U17's for the Jets or do all players who are playing for the Jets in that competition have to be U15, so turning maximum 15 this year?

As I said it at the end of the day it doesn't matter, but it was just an interesting question that I heard during the day that nobody seemed to know the answer to.

So Forever Red you are starting to come round to the reality of the NBN League with the amount of hoof ball.

He is too busy yelling abuse to notice southy hoofing it long, never have I seen a centre back move up into the midfield/ fwd line just to win a header from there own goal kicks.

Haha magician,saw that today as well. All this crap about Southy trying to play and Olympic knocking the long ball, and Southy telling the keeper to wait until their 7ft centre back got forward to flick a header on

weston 2 azzurri 2
edgeworth 3 phoenix nil
olympic 1 south cardiff nil
i dont mind getting beat as I thought the gunners played some nice football but failed to finish, olympic do play a lot of long ball, very boring to watch, however what grinds my gear was one of the more blatant off side goals you will ever want to see, what the linesman was watching I will never know, even the olympic player stopped, good luck to olympic but FFS linesmen pull your head in

Go back and watch the limited highlights on nbn news forever red.looked onside on the news and I don't see where you come up with the comment "even the olympic player stopped". The news just showed him running onto the through ball. I didn't notice him stop?

Sore loser... No point blaming linesmen and long balls...

[The Baby Piglet]

Come on guys we all know ForeverRed is a one eye supporter although i do expect southy to be in the semi's this yr. I think steve piggot is most one of the better coaches in the league

Exactly, the news just showed him running on to a through ball, your statement, so you wouldn't see him stop or the off side, think about it

They should have all played to the whistle like we are taught in under 6s

Maybe if the Southy keeper was quicker off his line this discussion would be non-existent? That is how it appeared to look on TV anyway.

[late_to_the_game]

To answer the Jets youth question, they have 10 x U14's, 10 x U15's and 10 x U16's across the two U15 and U16 teams. Several of the U14's are overseas this week, so I suspect some of the U15's who normally play in the U16 team (in the 19's) were pulled back to make up the numbers.

Maybe if the officials did there job we would not be having this dicussion

[Imyourhero]

TV footage was pretty poor angle and from memory you didn't even see the transition of initial pass through to the receiving of the ball.

[Fairgo]

From what I witnessed on the weekend I am surprised we still have officials willing to turn up each week. The wanker that stood at the tunnel both halftime and fulltime verbally abusing the officials was nothing short of disgraceful. Clubs need to address this type of behaviour so we can continue to have officials willing to do there job without fear of people like that.

I've got to stick up for my man ForeverRed here. He's not a 'one eyed supporter'.
It just so happens his team has never ever lost a game of football without it being the fault of the refs, linesmen, canteen crew, away support, squad rotation, the Illuminati, NNSW conspiracy, Broadmeadow Magic bias, Global Warming, deliberate ground tampering and about a billion other reasons I can't quite remember right now.

Other than that he's just like us so please don't pick on him.
Thanks.
