Re: Poor State of Junior Football

But then on the other hand, Airton argues points and tries to drag answers and football discussion out of each coach yet is criticized for it, can’t win. Germany & Spain improved their countries football development by having as many coaches as possible go through the courses/licenses, the diff...

Re: 2017 Trials - Junior Playing Fees

Options people, options. Private school costs different to public schools. Swimming class costs vary at different centres, due to their expenses. There is never going to be a flat rate across the board, you are going to have different levels of pricing. But there is an option. Play at Fulham for $7...

Re: Very Interesting Today On The Radio

Seems to be a hell of a lot of whinging on here about these “excessive fees.” Someone said it right earlier – to those of you complaining, go form your own team/club and step into the shoes of the people who actually do or try to look after the best interests of their club, by providing a very good ...

Re: Serie A Round 17

I believe Juve will win the scudetto. Hard to see them giving up top spot with the team they have. If they can avoid injuries then they should be fine.

Milan are the silent achievers so far, currently 7th and 7 points away from second spot. What a turn around from being in the relegation zone.

If Messi really is "the best" then I would like to see him change teams, change leagues even. I don't doubt his ability at all, however, even Ronaldo has changed teams/leagues and has been very good in both. They shouldn't label him "the best ever" as he isn't. Best player of the...

Re: No debate about "Don't milk (junior) cash cow" column

Horses for courses. All good if the kids want a kick around and just some fun - great! But if any player wants to get more serious, well pay peanuts and you'll get monkeys (as coaches). I applaud the offer though. Quite obviously if you dont give the kids kits, training gear, decent ongoing tuition...

The ref has made a meal out of that one. What an idiot. As for the player who ran into him, most probably career over.
