I don't appreciate being labelled a racist, because I'm not

P_G your so sad its actually funny

Bomber, where did Robert Dello coach previously and when will the club officially announce this? Isn't this "official" enough? :wink: I have been told has had spells at Birks, White City, Campbelltown (amongst others) previously and is well credentialed. What sort of turn out has there be...

Some excellent coaches and good talent amongst the Juniors ..

clubs are what they make of it and clubs are what their players make it, no help and clubs die, but if a club doesn't help or attract the players they can't get the help they need to grow and survive. Fees can help or hinder, for example I know a club who offers $250 playing fees, sounds cheap but ...

Yep .. none of the younger guys pitched in to do things around the club ..same people every week .. they younger ones didn't even turn up to train ..just came game day.. My sons play in the FFSA NPL leagues so trying to juggle both was too hard also making it even harder for the other three or four ...

Just to set the record straight..... The club never requested to be elevated to Division 3. This was a league decision against our requests. Based on the fact that we thought we would not be able to field two teams the club specifically requested our demotion to either Division 5 or 6. Why the leag...

Cant believe the shed got a mention ahead of our Toilets!

Really sorry to hear you guys have folded. At Strathalbyn we were in a similar situation a couple of years ago. I really hope you get the club going again in the future. Enjoyed our battles with you guys last year. Hopefully we can do battle again. Thanks mate all the best ..is a nice trip to Strat...

Ha ha thanks GIAE .. Yeah old Pauly was/is pretty notorious re his ref work ... along with the standard beer one hand smoke the other and the flag tucked in under his arm while walking the line. I remember a photo of him playing posted on FN a few years ago with the caption "is this the oldest ...

Oh and as I mentioned in the Sat Div 3 thread:

On behalf of Budapest we are really sorry for any inconvenience to clubs associated with our withdrawal and the league itself so close to the season commencement .. we tried to hang in there but just couldn't.

Don't thin any club would be happy re Budapest folding .. know one wants to see any established club fold.. There may be issues between players and clubs game day but outside of that all are friends and socialize with the same. Budapest has a great history and a substantial trophy cabinet going back...

Thanks guys.. Yeah we were not even confident we could field a full team in div three let alone a competitive one ... all the best to everyone in the league ..are some great clubs and great people in the SAASL and a lot of great memories. Ps as I type this just received a confirmation email re our w...

That is a poor decision I agree. I happen to know Budapest asked a while ago to be put in a lower division through lack of players. Yeah that's right .. the SAASL seems to be in a bit of a shambles the way the leagues have been formatted and how rules of participation in relevant div's have been di...

SAASL have had rules in place re 1 and 2 team clubs .. I agree with what Gooner has suggested that two team clubs should be promoted to higher leagues where 2 team are required and those that are only to filed 1 team should be in Divs appropriate for them ..other wise it will be a shambles. I see mo...

Wonder if teams going to Collegiate as anything to do with the reason why Budapest who requested to go to Div 5 as only able to enter one team (a much weakened one at that) has instead been elevated to Div 3!!! - the leagues response was that there will just have to be a bye for Ressies when fixture...

Olympic junior set up on the up and up .. some quality coaching and admin introduced and superb junior facilities so if I were a junior player or parent of one looking for a club would definitely consider getting on board now..

Re this thread >>>>> WTF???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

noodle....what have you heard?? All I've seen is that there was an issue and the Junior Committee all quit plus other stuff......that was in the local paper. cheers Geoff9559 Geoff, Firstly I do not have any involvement at all with Olympic Juniors however do know via the grapevine that they have ap...

From what I hear and read there appears to be very good things happening at Olympic juniors .. would think its a very good time to get on board..

Budapest $180

No it was an intentional effort to show they are inclusive of those with speech impediments or as public schools would term .stutterers ..

Quite intellectually brilliant really !

Hi guys Entering a team in the Australian Masters Games here in Adelaide being held I think from the 3rd October. Can play in the 45+ so we are entering a team in that Div now I think .. though may go down to the 40+ We competed in the Aust Games 40+ last time it was here and won the Gold medal over...

Yep ..where Raiders are situated league and table wise will dictate wether any junior league restructure is implemented for 2017

For starters .Alagich, Androli, Elvis, Cristiano all current or former Raiders people all currently employed by FFSA ..

Have no issue at all with those above ..and dont care re the proposed structures ..just noting more FFSA self interested activity.

I would start with 12's and 13's for next year. Its easy to implement....and gets rid of the current system which no-one can explain to me. also 12 team leagues please. U12 age groups are zonal and the U13 age group divisions are based on where your team finished in the U12 age groups the year befo...

A little birdie has informed me that it was announced last night at the FFSA AGM that there will be NO changes to the junior structures for 2016. Can anyone confirm this??? Once they realised Raiders was in danger of relegation... Exactly correct ..have spoken with others re this previously and pri...

Shoot goal " Testudo" is the ancient roman defence formation adapted well to a soccer defence. What? :roll: http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=i&source=imgres&cd=&ved=0CAUQjBwwAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2Fa%2Fac%2FTestudo_formation...
