2013 NBN State League Thread

[Premy]

No no no you are all wrong. Young Ireland has the ability to hoof it 70-80 yards up the pitch but I heard he refuses to as it goes against all he was taught at Coventry. Apparently on his first night at Jaffa’s training he went to play out short from a goal kick but was lambasted by all and sundry within earshot. He was told that that was just not the way things were done at NBN level. Young Ireland was fuming but my understanding is that a compromise was reached between coaching staff and the young shot stopper. Apparently Ireland has agreed to do his best in general goal keeping duties within general play but has flatly refused to take any more goal kicks. Due to his evident talent between the sticks, the Jaffa’s coaching staff has agreed to allow any burly defender to take goal kicks to ensure the ball is well and truly hoofed up the pitch. I hope this clears up any confusion about Jaffa’s and their goal kicks.

I don't know what's funnier suggesting all NBN teams play hoof ball or suggesting League 1 sides don't

After telling the fozz to get off the joints,
Im now thinking that im tripping on joints after reading this..

Was in the programme on Sat that goal kicks were not his strength.

haha those player profiles in the Jaffas program are a pisstake, someone else writes them. Ireland has a recurring knee injury, he can kick a ball 70 yards easily, very good delivery in general, just lets someone else take goal kicks so he doesnt risk his knee

[TheBean]

injuries have taken their toll, understandable that the coaches are looking to make some more signings. two more injuries to first grade on the weekend, to add to the already ridiculously long list.

[TheBean]

Hopefully your new signing doesnt crack the shits and change clubs when he drops down the pecking order when you get your players back.

everyone gets their chance to secure a starting spot, im sure the coaches at every other club are just as hopeful that their players dont "crack the shits"

[newie4eva]

Speaking of Jaffas. Interesting story in today's Herald about them signing a reserve grader from Lakes.

Hey Backstick

Do you have a link to this story ?

cheers

[TheBean]

backstick, just realised you are a lakes supporter, clearly a bit upset players are bailing on the club . dont take it so personally mate

[TheBean]

Also, you said playerS? Only one player has left. And as per the article in the Herald, with new signings he wouldve struggled for game time

cant really comment on the actions of the player to destabilise the club, whats he done? and sorry, just meant one player.

[TheBean]

and anyway, from all the things you keep saying you dont consider him very important to your squad anyway, no need to bag him out so publicly :'(

[MFKS]

What's doing with the shitty fringe still Member?

????

I have a No2 clipper cut all over mate.

Fringe what fringe???

[ForeverRed]

Asking other players to jump ship as well.

Anyways, Ive had my say.

Big games this weekend

Lakes v Phoenix
Olympic v Magic

Don't understand what all the fuss is about over a player who would struggle for a spot at any club

[CStein]

I hear that certain players are running the show at Lambton and not the head coach? Has anybody heard similar?

Terrible haircut mate but obviously with the times.

Heard that this week. Rumour I heard was one player challenged the coach in front of the rest of the team when announced he was on the bench.

[TheBean]

just rumours boys, obviously nobody wants to be on the bench, but the coaches are all pretty approachable, no need to in fighting at the Jaffas. We dont have enough players fit to be benching lads anyway haha

Did you guys release a player last week to another club?

[TheBean]

i think a couple of blokes have changed clubs, not any bad blood though- just had mates/thought theyd be happier at another club. fair enough, not everyone works out at every club.
