U13B Modbury 0:1 Croydon News on the forum grape vine - stiring the porridge, clubman, spooky1972 & AL K HOLIC all have inside information that a club pays referees to win games for them, seems they are talking for their clubs. These brave guys will soon be getting their clubs to write letters ...

It's a shame that there are parents with the balls to blame anyone and everyone over a game for kids; stiring the porridge , clubman , spooky1972 . All tough and wise hiding behind a user name, coming into the junior forum to whine about a game for kids. I hate to say, but Jeda was right http://www...

he is a cheat plain and simple, Croydon are a disgrace, how many ref issues does the FFSA need before they take a good look down there, they are just as bad, shame shame shame

That table has other issues also, I believe there is also a questionable officiated game against a club that has had similar complaints about officiating, not sure what the FFSA plans to do, if anything, but I believe a game was played without an official ref, so may be re played I assume, if the le...

Which Clubs pay their Junior Coaches, interested to know.

Most clubs pay their coaches I would think in some capacity.

Maybe a childs fees are covered.
Petrol money.
something.

Most other clubs are around the $700 with a bag, ball, home strip, away(training) strip, jacket These kits would cost clubs around $100-150. The rest goes into running costs, lights, ground maintenance, coaches fees, rego costs etc. The clubs like City that charge extra, pay their coaches more. It'...

Some parents just drop and run, cheapest day care you can get.

We have hit the time of year where clubs drop all their boys to either snatch a league or prevent relegation, because the clubs don't care about cattle stations...............

15's - Good to see a Zero budget club beating a Super league club. It all comes around!!!. Well done TOROS. Well deserved. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Zero budget club with zero budget trainer could cost the future of the injured player. Well done to AC trainer and the doctor. Great to see Toro's 12...

It was appalling that the FFSA did not have any first aid or ambulance people on site, the poor kid sat in pain for over 10 minutes on the park before finally moving him. No word if it was a break or not but it was not good, shame shame shame FFSA. While I tend to agree it wouldn't be such a bad th...

15's - Good to see a Zero budget club beating a Super league club. It all comes around!!!. Well done TOROS. Well deserved. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D What a great day for the club, and to be honest both sides took control of the game at different sections but by no means were the Toros worried of s...

drago ended up at white city....from what i know this yr he went to white city and in his 1st under 17s trial he had 7 players. within 2 months 40 players came in and they filled 16s and 17s teams. he coached the 17s and got everyone to have a taste in the 19s... 8 of his players became regulars in...

i was always impressed with that drago bloke who had the boys from CCSC under him for a few years. i see several of them are in sasi now while anothers at ais How many years was he at CCSC? 3 i believe How many players went on to SASI/AIS? 3 in this year's sasi squad plus 1 at ais (from sasi last y...

I suppose that is debatable on what one considers a good or bad coach, since we dont consider wins or points etc important how do you measure that statement? Club? Team? Parents? Ladder? Win/loss ratio year after year? :oops: stir too much you get yogurt :P a bad coach doesn't know what makes a goo...

The biggest problem is our grounds, it's all well and good to create and teach a wide or creating space type of play, then again any type of play, out from defence, whatever. Then week after week you play on cow paddocks and pitches the size of half a pitch, prime examples to name a few, Pirates, T...

Fortunately we have been lucky so far and on the many occassions no ref has showed, parents of both sides have been agreeable to a parent from each team reffing a half. We (as a group)tend to be more lenient of decisions/minor errors etc, but will concede none of the games in question have been cruc...

Got no idea how it can be flooded the grounds are not even flat they all have a huge mound in the middle shaped liked a hump, I possibly thought they did that on purpose to allow water to drain off, guess I'm just an idiot.

If it's the croy v toro ref then he's same ref who did damage at Birks v comet game. Must be very incompetent. From rumors out there this same ref did the same at another home game, visitors 4-1 up then suddenly a few send offs with the game ending 4-4, same grumbles of blatant one sided officiatin...

Every club chooses differently, the rich clubs who are not short of sponsors or players choose the best, while a struggling smaller club pick the ones that come as thats all they get. Some clubs could care less and just sign everyone and have 1-3 teams with the top 15 boys/girls in As with all other...

what ever is required for each individual player to develop, some need praise and constant hugs, some need discipline and constant challenges, some need nothing. There is no one way or right way, each team and each player are their own challenge. Coaching at some clubs is easy, as the talent pool is...

How can the FFSA have rules and regulations if they don't send an official neutral party to decide if such rules and regulations are breached or not breached. Taking one clubs voice over another will never hold up, so this answers all the questions of just how serious are the FFSA in their rules and...

Two equal clubs top of the ladder, Ref arrives at game in uniform, game starts, one team really notices that this ref is very one sided, dare I say blatantly. It is discovered that the Ref is not the designated ref for the game, and is in fact the father of a boy in the heavily one sided team, this...

U/13b
South Adelaide 0 Western Strikers 7

Everyone is to blame.

Just wanted to say good luck to all teams for the weekend in any cup finals, except of course the ones against my teams, in saying that I hope all players come out fit and healthy with all games played with a hard, strong but fair attitude. No matter what the result in any game, all teams / players ...

Looks like stirring the porridge didnt read his handbook, and all 140 kids and parents called him to tell him they know nothing about what's happening .... Seriously though, no one has to say yes to anything yet..... if you are one of the 16 or so players identified out of the 140ish, that's when t...

Can someone please explain what is going on next year with the skillaroos. Has it been confirmed that they will be competing in the leagues? If so, obviously all players involved must quit their current club or the Skillaroos? Does this mean they will go straight into the 'A' league, of that age gr...

Not fair to tell a clubafter fighting to get promotion, oh by the way sorry not this year. Will it kill em?...talking about U12's here aren't we? Sooner that the FFSA does away with leagues and points until much later age group...sooner we might concentrate more on developing better football player...
