Re: Never self-report

Whether its an a-league salary cap thing or even an ASADA-type thing, the lesson is not to be a goody-2-shoes and self report on the expectation that you'll be treated leniently. And players , when questioned , should just 'do not recall' - dont cooperate - let the authorities earn their effin mone...

Re: Looking for a team at A-League/NPL - ex MCFC youth

lol you're on a south australian football forum mate, might want to ask on the Wanderers or Sydney FC fan forums or something.
i was going to offer you a trial on my social 7-a-side team but looks like it's not to be.
Good luck

Re: Football no longer Australia's #1 sport

pretty much every kid in every country town in Australia plays cricket in summer. Australia is one of the most urbanised countries in the world, only 10% of people actually live in rural areas. Who cares what the country kids do? :D I'm sure the ABS does. Yep, and I'll listen to the ABS rather than...

Re: Fanzone Victoria square

If you like bus, tram & traffic noise at 7.30 am in the morning surrounding the Square, drowning out any commentary and atmosphere, if you like watching on an inferior screen compared to the giant 180 square-metre HD thing @ the Crowval. The new Vic Square looks absolutely mint, and is right in...

Still spewing about last weekend versus McLaren District though, their #10 jumped through our best defender's leg, snapped shin bone and several bones in the ankle. (yellow card only - amat...

Re: Jabulani is Ruining my World Cup

Re: Finally its Happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quite amazing that AFL has only just cottoned on to the idea that there's more to tactics than just 1v1 matchups. I still think it's funny when AFL crowds boo when a team tries to retain possession rather than just boot it up to the forward line (mind you not too different from Adelaide Utd crowds s...

Won't name names because it is probably unfair for the attitudes of a few players to tar a whole team... So why bring it up in the first place?

As for your other comment, id be interested to know who the team of c#nts is? weve played 7 teams so far and they have all not been too bad, certainly seen worse in the past.

Re: Club Referees - Do they have to meet any kind of standard?

I have had to ref a game, as well as another player - and we have zero referee training and no real knowledge of the intricacies of the laws of the game. I wouldn't be admitting that if I was you. If you don't have a qualified ref then you lose the game. We lost both those games anyway.. I told the...

For three home games in a row our club has failed to organise refs for the div 4 reserves.
