For someone who had been 'lost'Socca you're still reading this thread. I have a life mate........why don't you stop being so pedantic and just let people express an opinion even if a mistake was made in not using the correct terminology, Im pretty sure most people understood the opinion I was ...

Not an idiot....just live in the real word where a swear word is not the end of the world. The player said one swear word whilst walking in the opposite direction to the ref....no gestures no abuse etc as you have said...compared to some of the other unsportsmanlike behavior manifested by some ...

Ok.....if a red card needs to be issued for swearing I put it to you that most oldder boys would be red carded every weekalong with most of the senior teams going around......you're all a bit precious!

No its not my club, yes I know about reversals etc ...do you not know people/coaches from other clubs that you speak to. ......Im sure you do!..........in fact is I actually don't have kids who are currently playing anywhere. Secondly, to those who are making comments on my use of the term umpire ...

You are correct if a player swears directly at a ref go for it. ....even then i think 5 weeks would be rough...referee to precious in this case. Has anyone heard coaches???? If anyone goes to senior games youll hear all the words in the book! Who gets 5 weeks.....its ridiculous!

Ah ok

Firstly its not my club nor my team .. in fact it was the opposition team to the one I regularly watch No issues with referees disciplining players but I was right near where the incident occurred and yeah the young lad swore as he walked off but at no stage did he abuse the ref. Fair is fair and to ...

Sorry shouldve said referee and 'ffsa' football federation of south australia so the sport I refer to is football otherwise known by some as soccer.

On the weekend a ref gave a player a straight red card (which wasnt there) and the ref admitted so to the boys after the game. The reason for the red card 'because the home team parents were yelling' that is a joke. What ensued however is an absolute disgrace. ...ffsa overturned the red card but the ...

Rules are set according to who the club is .....this u17 cup has been a farce for a long time. Can you play in your age group then id your team is knocked out...go up and play in a higher age group still within juniors?

Its easy to lump all parents who refuse to help in one group.....yes there are drop kick parents who dont help but are the first to have something to say, however, after speaking with some parents, clubs, I believe are so lacking in people skills and the word that pops up constantly is lack of ...

So was the player registered or not....a little confused.....even if photo etc were lost, misplaced or the dog ate it....regio is online and the club registrar must accept so how could they not know he wasn't registered.

Adelaide City still in the cup and game results stand.....can someone please explain!

Open Mens have made the semi-finals. Good on them! ...but how? Only 5 teams...............win one game and you make the semi's That wasnt the case a couple of years back. ..they had two divisions in age groups with about 6 to 7 teams in each division....if you didnt finish top 2 you were finished ...

As I said in my post NOT ALL COACHES....but there are some who really need to be moved on!!

Its just I have seen players who are fantastic and have not been asked and im pretty sure they have either participated or trialled in the past. Have spoken to a couple today actually and it seems political crap and bullshit is mostly the reason these kids werent even asked. One coach aparently ...

The reason I ask with all due respect ....are these the best players as I have watched some games seen some outstanding lads and these boys are no whetr to be seen.....also read a lot on here bout the heirachy etc....but are these the best coaches...how are they selected? Do they have sons in the ...

Help Please:-
been observing some of the state selections......are there no other players who wish to trial or are the trials solely run on an invitation basis?

Does anyone know when Blue Eagles are holding their trials?

obviously not

Im told Metrostars Under 16's dropped their age relevant players from 17 and 18's, however, their under 15 side was their regular side. In the end as long as all players are the correct age, the better teams won on the day, lets congratulate them all and move on.

This is the great debate.......do you play the regular squad or drop those higher. Neither is right or wrong at the end of the day I believe the cup is a different competition to that of the regular season and it is there to be won. I have no problem with players coming down if they are of the ...

Well Done West Adelaide, from what I can see they are on top on Div 1 and are a fantastic football side. No disrespect to the other team but West Adelaide are the team to beat this year.

14.3 Where a club may not have sufficient players to field a team in a semi-final or final due injury or illness, a club may request an exemption to the rule by submitting a request to FFSA outlining the reasons. If an exemption is granted, the club will only be permitted to move players up from a ...

You're so gracious in your reply.......incredible

Can anyone tell me when Junior cup finals are being played.....and I assume they are normally played at Hindmarsh?

Who's George......

If these players are older, which is what you imply - why are they not playing in the correct age group or under 18s?[/quote] I posed this question in another thread, the answer is simple, most people see to be of the same opinion being that there is a strong possibility and is most likely that ...

This is a topic about a kid playing an U15 cup game and driving off at the end. Not about how they are given aussie birth certificate and documents. No I am sorry you are quite incorrect. I did pose the question after stating what I saw without mentioning which team or club and if you read my ...

Hopefully this will clarify a few things: Having worked with players of various nationalities, who were refugee's from many regions, this is my understanding based on what they have told me, of the immigration process. When children come in to the country they are tested on educational levels ...
