Where are you?
Gone to ground?
Ugly, ugly,ugly

'Players identified' Anyone with a half decent football brain can "identify". It's the "developing" that is relevant to the argument. Franz Pjetri for example wasn't developed by ffsa - he actually quit the game at one point. It was the "alternative " developmental path...

.. you get what you deserve.
Clowns who don't understand the game run the FFA.

And clowns who run junior setups at club level having their own agenda, recipe for a shite soccer nation.

You were very lucky to be there in the first place. Syria hit the upright in dying minutes of qualifier. A few inches to the left and you're not even in Russia. Can you give me a summary on how Italy and Greece went ????? Italy came 2nd in its qualifying group , runner up to Spain. By my recollecti...

Kro seems to have disappeared off the earth. Next time either don't mislead or STFU. Wondering how Cornflakes Ricky is travelling out there? Word is that the club has already decided that Cornflakes isn't part of next year's plans after the events of the past year. I guess he will " be resignin...

Just found this on Twitter and its so true..........”It's only when you go looking that you'll find the overwhelming reality of football at the highest level. Out of all the boys who enter an academy at the age of 9 in England, less than half of 1% go on to make a living from football. LET THAT SIN...

People who lie and cheat at junior sports are liars and cheats in their life in general. And they create future generations of liars and cheaters. From what I've seen the problem at times rests largely with the enablers. The hierarchy of clubs who do nothing about it. A parent bullies the coach or ...

Gone quiet have you Mr "nothing to see here, move on" KRO ?

Do you want your son to develop his skills or not? Grow some - does it really matter if they've been banned by the ffsa in the past? They're not effin rapists. I suggest you get your boy to play for the school if you're too sensitive . What are you on!!! relax! take a chill pill. sensitive i am not...

In case anyone was wondering about how this thread started. The AC u16 JPL coach wasnt sacked. He is returning to Italy to continue his studies. Now. Back to the thread. Where were we? An email from the club to parents suggests you're wearing rose coloured glasses. Would you like me to paste that e...

BTW - Australia's youngest ever WC squad member grew up with the new FFA curriculum....just putting it out there... :wink: and the other 22 didn't - just putting it out there. Correct. And apart from this incredibly gifted Iraqi immigrant , (whose talents may or may not have been enhanced by the so...

Tomorrow's NTC under 17 competition team has gift wrapped the game to Adelaide City. Only 10 players available. And that's after taking 2 players from their team playing Under 16s also against Adelaide City. So the Adelaide City 16s will also be gifted a result, a week after sacking their coach. we...

They might not even give a shoulder shrug.

Let’s get this straight. The poor guy joined last summer and has a squad which over half are made up of JSL players and JPLC player. I’m not really sure what they were expecting. Yes you're right - it's very unfair to blame a coach who was handed mission impossible. He never had the chance to show ...

Under 16 JPL coach got sacked last week by the club.
Bottom of the ladder says it all.
So much for the rubbish coming out of the club when they made a 'great appointment.

Typical of a club that's great on talk .

The TD of this club's juniors needs to follow the ex coach out the door.

Did any of the forfeits that were predicted actually happen? Blue Eagles 14's JPL forfeited last week. Apparently the league allowed them to postpone the game but Adelaide City complained and claimed the forfeit win. I guess it's all about those sheep stations for them rather than allowing some 13 ...

"You'll never walk alone"......unless you're the Liverpool goalkeeper....no one intends to S H I R A Z up on the pitch....the Liverpool players, substitutes and coaching staff not consoling him after the game was disgraceful....they left it the the Real players.... Yes ultimately cost the...

100% limozeen. If not happy, leave. If you don't look after your own needs, don't expect the club to do it for you. Clubs love the alabi of blaming the parents and the tiresome term little Ronaldo, but some who run the show should leave their own arrogance and ego at home . Especially the cornflakes...

If the club doesnt deal with the situation then maybe the penny will drop when 60 percent of the players don't come back next year. Or not, they may just lay the blame on the parents and their 'expectations'. Been there before. I believe that the club has written off this group. The younger age tea...

It's sad that a club of so many good people can be hijacked by a group of so few. Despite numerous warnings, the top brass have allowed it to happen. Players are getting demoralized and lost confidence. The coach himself , who should not have been appointed ,has no say, and this does the boys no goo...

How many of the clubs that have both jsl and jpl teams in the same age group change their teams much weekly? From what little i know i would expect that only one or 2 players every week get changed between teams week on week. A few years ago somebody told me metro and maybe cumberland have their sq...

One of the bigger clubs will struggle to field both a JPL (div 1) and JSL team this week or next. I don't think they've ever forfeited a game in their history but that may be about to change. The natives are furious with what's been happening with selections- the coach can't even pick his own team b...

FFSA dont give a shiraz .. I know of a ref who systematically lied in collaboration with the coach of an opposition team (as they are well known to each other) and in doing so destroyed a boys career The FFSA disciplinary procedures are a joke and are dealt with by a mix of people who are arrogant ...

If you dont think Englands performances at major tournaments for the last 50 years have been anything less than embarrassing then you are delusional. But being an England supporter, that comes with the territory. :lol: 1990 - lost semi final on penalties . Just one of a number of near misses. Doesn...

Metro under 16 JPL won 8-1 on the weekend.

A goal every 3 minutes is evidence of a mismatched competition.
