You know what they say…Lies damn lies and statistics!! It’s like the average wage….Not many get the average. It’s like the Proportionate spend in OZ vs rest of the world…Has no bearing on what the women’s football landscape is actually like. For the fastest growing sport. With huge numbers of playe...

I think you'd find the proportionate spend on women's football compared to mens in AUS would be at a higher percentage than the rest of the world bar USA.

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...

My personal opinion is that SSG should be a club version of lunch time football. Let the kids 'hog' and have it high scoring, try keep structure to a bare minimum (obviously you have to teach fundamentals). My greatest football education was in the school yard playing 20 vs 20 on a pitch that was 50...

How do you expect to attract any of these people with good football knowledge from 20-late 30's years old when they can go earn a minimum $150+ a week from playing which requires A LOT less work than coaching. The ones that are late 30's on wards usually do not start from juniors anyway, as they hav...

i think most good junior coaches aren't too worried about the money. i think most clubs should look at helping their Good coaches upskill themselves with financial support doing their licenses etc. Good point, and I agree! But have you seen the expense now of upgrading license and the time it takes...

I'm not sure you can judge those coaches on the amount of playing experience they have. Some of the finest coaches in the world have little or no playing experience. Gerard Houllier (Amateur level) Arsene Wenger (Amateur level) Sven-Goran Eriksson (Amateur level) Jose Mourinho (Amateur level) Arrig...

Fair comments matty2323 but I think you will find 'game' training (depending on how you define it) continues into 18s and perhaps beyond. There are players aged 13-14 that are more advanced in game intelligence than many I have seen in the 16s and 17s, and these are often readier to play 18s than t...

Are Fulham a big enough club to join the state league? No one wants another Gawler.

Stereotyping to the max here .... that 'all' junior clubs fees go to senior wages ..... a bit like all Muslims are terrorists ?? (Which they're not of course !!) I know where our junior fees go .... Can anyone else tell me of a club that owns its own complex of 4 full size pitches ? Hence do you kn...

Yes it is possible, give me your bank details and I will help you.

everyone goes on and on about development, even WA, yet given a chance to show it and WA would rather pull a side. Why not send up your U15 side to U16 (they have won the last two leagues and look set to win again, are they being challenged?). You could then send your U15 JSL side to U15JPL (removi...

I think his Bayern observations are not accurate ... PS .... ball retention = the other team can't score goals if you keep the ball Although I agree with your comments in theory Zeljko & most people would. However, try to explain these results. Barca : 1 vs Celtic : 2 (2012) possession by Celti...

Get your facts right! http://www.smfc.com.au/files/2013-Youth-Development-Program-Fact-Sheet.pdf i prefer to pay 3200 for this program than any 800 in SA Fair enough I'd rather put this kind of money into a fund each year to pay for my sons uni fees instead But is that we he'd rather do? You can ta...

I guess only time will tell, whether FFSA and clubs like Adelaide City made the right choice; unless you and your club (AC) have some facts and figures to share? I'm not from AC and have no facts or figures, but one thing I do know is you cannot compare the UEFA 17's and 19's elite national champio...

Craig Goodwin - a talent that many of of SA's local coaches knew of, but missed by the FFSA State teams, SASI and the Adelaide United Youth coaches. How many more players will our system miss once the U17 league is scrapped? Some players need longer to develop, they may not start to show their full...

How many defenders have prevented a goal from having a handful of shirt or a block on the striker and haven't given away a foul? It's the strikers way to get even by bringing on contact and receiving a penalty. You do it to get an advantage for your team and if you get caught you get punished with a...

Would it not be Melbourne Vic they play against since they basically sponsor them.

I thought Kyrgiakos played very very well yesterday, Skrtl did okay not too bad but I can't workout how Adebayors goal no one was on the back stick.

thanks for the invite, however, im still busy celebrating Rossi's open boys KO championship :lol: :lol: :lol: Come on it's been a while, enjoy it this year and next year cause 2011 is going to be the year haha. Nah seriously come down if you're not busy, we'll even throw in a special guest referee ...

i also heard when comets played sasi at their ground, they should of had 2 clear penalties, which would of made the game being 4-0, instead of 2-2. Well I was actually at that game your source is wrong, 2-2 was a fair result swaying towards 3-2 for SASI. Overall SASI deserved to stay up in my opinion

Heard SASI should of had a penalty after a clear handball which would of leveled the match.

Berbatov was MOTM for me

Great defender,he's an animal

Well In you are entitled to your opinion, but as I know the U11 Comets coach, he is a very nice guy and a good coach. Also this "arguement" or "fued" or whatever you want to call it started when the Strikers steward told the coach to step behind the line, I for one am a coach an...

Then why is Devils Advocate, Franco UnAmerican, Nice One Cyrill and others saying that the under 11's coach swore at his players?? No Comets coach swears at his players or opposition players hopefully people can see this now. Well mate your U11 coach told the official from strikers to F%#K off seve...

ronaldo bigger loss to your manufested united team than if we lose alonso. :lol: :lol: The last few seasons we were set up in a way to play to Ronaldo's strengths (ie Rooney on the left wing) Alonso will be too hard to replace for Liverpool, he dictates their play, stretches the opposition with his...

Santa Cruz will not be expecting to sit on the bench.
