2013 NBN State League Thread

[Bremsstrahlung]

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.

This pretty much sums up 95% of people on the Jets page (including some people bagging out Forever Red). Blaming refs, linesmen, Hunter stadium beer, Gypo hate, GVE not playing good squads, FFA loving Sydney/Melbourne, Nitro circus ruining the pitch....
There are some vast double standards between the 2.




Seriously, Forever Red may be able to answer my question though. The Under 23s there at Southy were a class above last year. Now they are 0 from 4 and last. Did they lose alot of players or players pushing first grade or?

[ForeverRed]

lost 7 players, mainly due to not playing, 3 went to other clubs, keeper now playing first grade, etc,

[MFKS]

Shame on you blokes.

I pick up on one small point he made about long ball play to justify a debate we have had in the past and you guys waste a page of the thread stirring him.

[plague]

Im not knocking my man ForeverRed at all Member.
According to Craig Kerry's match report you are both right.

The Gunners had a goal reversed in the 10th minute by a linesman's call and lost to a goal from Clayton Poole in the 39th minute where the scorer appeared to come from an offside position.

It handed South Cardiff their first defeat of the state league season.

In a physical game with an abundance of long balls, the Gunners appeared marginally the better side.

Kerry couldn't report on a game of tiddlywinks . Nnsw website nbn review more accurate

[MFKS]

Whether Kerry can't report on a game of Tiddlywinks is irrelevant.

He got the long ball part nailed down pat.

Wasn't at the game but the busiest bloke at Olympic would be the bloke who pumps the balls up after training and matches coz they would be flat as they have had the shit kicked out of them.

Other Foz posters have rightfully crucified Southys long ball shenanigans

So Kerry has deadset nailed it in his summary for mine

For ****sake MFKS we are chatting about the NBN League.
All coaches try to coach a decent style of football but some of these blokes who are playing first grade now didn't have the coachng in their early days that the young fellas now get and as a result they know no different. Coaches also have to coach to the cattle they have and if the short passing game doesn't work for your players available then why play it?
I can see you in a few years when the Tika Taka football fad has moved on and some coach thats "before his time" decides to play counter attack football (god forbid) to win the Spanish League or Premier League, you will be singing their praises and shouting for the long diagonal runs onto the 30 mt ball in behind the defence.

[The Baby Piglet]

Well said Zico.

[Jardelsimage]

cant help my self here, all you blokes get on and tell everyone else how bad things are in the game, long ball, talent, jets yoof etc etc.
question for the main antagonist, MFKS where did you play to be such a great judge of the game.
shoot me down if i'm out place asking this, but have you played or coached at a decent level or are you one of these who thinks they know everything.

PS: I was at southy and yes he was offside, standing right inline.. cheers

Well Zico I will point the blatantly obvious out to you. Coaches in the NBN League still sign the players they want. The Clubs are also responsible for the development of their juniors. If a club continues to resign these 6ft 4 inches physical specimens whose idea of a controlled touch is a 40m hoof up the park then the buck stops with them. Either they release the long ball merchants and sign appropriate players with the skill sets for the game or they develop their juniors to a level that they are better than the athletes they currently have.

Coaches coach this way because they are one dimensional and short sighted.

Last I looked Olympic have some severley talented players on their books. They also have few difficulties in recruiting players they would want to sign. They also have an abundance of talent in their junior sides (mostly poached I Know) This being the case why do they play the long ball shit they do???

Maybe the buck has to stop with the Committees of clubs who appoint the coaches who continue to select brawn over brains at not just First Grade Level but at lower levels as well.

Many a time in my experience have I seen blokes with skill talent and ability left to rot on the sidelines as the bloke who can run for 90 minutes and physically dominate an opponent got the opportunities as the coach viewed the stronger physical attributes as more important. This is plain well not ****ing right in my book

You sound like a disgruntled parent to me....as the saying goes"If coaches start listening to nobodies in the stand,pretty soon they're sitting next to them"

[magician]

Touch a nerve did I??

Clown, pretty much sums you up!!! I take it you were one who was left out because others were physically stronger! Truth was you were rubbish.

[MFKS]

Don't have kids.

Rather pointed to note you who disagree with me are having fun trying to justify my right to an opinion by what level I played at and now that I am some disgruntled parent. You ain't even close.

End of the day these clubs deserve the criticism I am giving them for their ineptness. In the last 20 years only one club has improved in my eyes in Newy and that is Magic. Olympic have treaded water and not really pushed on and the rest of them have gone nowhere stuck in a time warp with poor management where the committees seem to think they need a pat on the back and a medal for their efforts and the coaches need a tickertape parade for barely being able to produce players who can play at HAL/NSL Level.

Newy has its own Federation the 3rd biggest in Australia backing it and in all the 30 odd years of National Competition we have had`1 title. 3 seasons where we were a chance of winning .6 seasons where we made the play offs all this came off the back of blokes who were not from Newy and we can barely name a few blokes who represented Socceroos and nearly any fan outside of Newy would be cluthcing at straws to rememeber who the **** they were.

Yet the clubs who are allegedly responsible for the success/failure of Football in Newy want a pat on the back from me for their ineptness that sees us a laughing stock.

Cry me a river

Keep clutching boys.

I achieved the level I did and went no further because that was the level of my talents. No More no Less.

No I also wasn't harshly dealt with by coaches. They chose to pick me or stop picking me for sides on merit and I have no gripe with that

News Flash everyone is already aware of that

MFKS when was your day? What years did you play NBN? How did you find the coaches you had back in the day?
