Very sad news. Nick put his heart and soul in to every role he took on. An integral part of Valley View.
R.I.P.

Who in there right mind schedules games for 8.45am on a Sunday morning? The only day a sleep in is warranted and when you have all the teams from far south and hills its a 5am start. Rant over - thoughts? You think you have it tough.. Imagine the club volunteers who are there way before others turn...

Fair call and realise that it isnt that major now but with councils now trying to introduce smoking bans on council/public land it could be an issue in the future. Also several other codes have introduced no smoking at junior sporting events. Also was trying to start a thread as the junior forum wa...

Thanks to all for some very valuable input. Just sounding the alarm bells as I predict this "30 man squad" system will be making its way into many clubs. i.e. Announce the "30 man squad" at the end of trials but not announce the JPL and JSL teams until season start. Its the club...

Size (noun) is pretty much self-explanatory - The relative extent of something; a thing’s overall dimensions or magnitude; how big something is: Therefore Australia (also a noun, as in country) is bigger than England - easy! You can claim being bigger than Wales, Malta, Cyprus etc, but you already ...

Actually they are very feisty games NOC but they just get up and get on with it unlike the men unfortunately. Maybe the refs like that approach

I reckon Mignolet could get a run the way he is travelling

Not true.. League Structures have only just been finalised and fixtures not out for another week or so.

Surprised it's taken someone this long tbh, a proven scorer in the PL and relatively cheap, you would think teams like Villa and Sunderland would be beating down his door.

A replacement for Shane Long who could be on his way to Spurs.

I think you are thinking of the old style carpet 'astro turf', get down to the Parks and check it out if you get a chance, its longer 'grass' so you do actually slide on it, you can get burns on it but you can get them from grass doing the same thing. Im still not sure why we don't wet them here th...

With Ruddock we had Redknapp, Fowler etc too.

So overall yes this is the worst.

You are worrying too much Nnr!!! Give it time and all will be well.

So he thinks Coquelin has the maturity to carry us through the league, FA cup & European cup. He really believes Giroud is good enough to be our lead striker. I'm not for buying just for the sake of it but we are below par in these key positions and it should have been dealt with, we have the c...

Quick couple of questions

1- Why do clubs send their coaches to the FFSA Coaching Courses?

2- How many clubs have given the FFA National Curriculum a go?

So for example you have 2 players out of 10 that have the say 90% of the ball when they on the pitch (they are all on 80% for equal game time). Then the other 8 have to struggle with each other to get a chance for possession in the other 20% of the game when the other 2 players are not on the pitch...

A truly sad day in football

even tougher to lose a Suarez and a Sturridge. Spurs were lucky they only had one player to lose.... Dont forget we lost Modric the season before so you could well argue that our loss/s were/are as significant as the Bindippers. Modric/ Bale or Suarez/ Sturridge???.. I know which 2 I'd want :!: :!:

When did Spurs sell their best player and then buy replacements?

Correct!!..Spurs bought all or most of their players 'before' Bale was sold..

EPL clubs have spent £360m so far up by £60m on last year. ....and Spurs haven't spent a Penny yet!!! Normally they are one of the major players in the transfer market but are keeping a low profile after last season's heavy spending.. That looks set to change soon with the imminent arrival of Ben D...

Its such a shame that great talents have to resort to these kind of tactics just to gain an advantage where their talent alone is good enough... On par with drug cheats as far as I'm concerned....

Cumberland sending U12s and U13s to this year's Gold Coast Youth Championships starting the 28th of Sept. I believe Modbury are sending a team (U13s) as well. Any others considering? Be great to see few a more SA teams head up North. Our experience last year was invaluable. Happy to share the do's ...

You just cant defend Wenger anymore!!! We are toothless, Giroud is knackered after leading the line all year & Wenger had an opportunity to sign a back up in Jan. We have NO pace, Wenger never replaced Walcott nor plays Ox enuff who does have pace. We have no plan B, how has Wenger not implemen...

Great to see Ross Aloisi be appointed as Head of Women's Football. One of my concerns is will Ross have autonomy to run the women's competition without the interference of the FFSA Women's Football Hierarchy. Dave Edmondson had the same issue and left because he was banging his head against a brick...

Can anyone help. My lad plays in FFSA juniors for a strong club. He's skilful but at this stage lacking in strength compared to some teammates. With the win- first attitude rather than development, my boy gets minimal game time because he can't shoot with as much venom, whereas others who are less ...

Great session this morning by all...Very Happy

well done to CCSC , and overall a great effort from all teams , only thing im disappointed about , why no trophy or medal , for the winning team , surely the FFSA could have done one as this team will be the SA squad that goes to Sydney and represents the state . and it gives those players somethin...
