Manchester Cup Winners

How true is the rumour that West Adelaide have been advised that they are no longer representing SA in Sydney as the winners of the Manchester Cup? And the NTC Lads are taking their spot?

Re: National Youth Champoinships 2014 Coffs

Seriously? Why are we congratulating one player? The lads arnt playing tennis mate, it's a team sport. Why not congratulate the lad that passed the ball perfectly? Why not good luck to the lad that scored the first goal for SA? Seriously what a stupid comment to type especially when the coaches have...

Re: Congratulations Cumberland United

Going on what happened on Thursday night at the semi final of the U14 cup between AC & Cumberland. Rob unfortunately conducted himself terribly. To verbally attack an opposing 14 year boy with personal comments is just not acceptable and to be spoken to on at least 3 occasions by the referee to...

Re: Congratulations Cumberland United

Wow it would be great if some kids got on and posted their own point of views! Obviously some parents feel so negative about a coach, I don think one child who has played under rob would say a negative thing about his coaching techniques, it was great when your club was winning under him. What did y...

Re: JPL team stripped of all competition points

We do have to feel for the kids in this team, playing their hearts out every week for what? - nothing. The boy involved I hear has been playing in this team for a few years, therefore it's not just year, do they now get relegated to B division and allow another team to move up?

Re: FFSA State Coaching Conference

What I saw was goalkeepers could not comprehend some of the tasks put in front of them! You are right in what you are saying if these are the best of the best, obviously when choosing keepers they look for now and not years down the track. How tall are these kids going to be? How mentally tough are ...

Re: Personal coaching

Hope this is not another case where a parent is going to ruin their sons career? All kids at 10 like to score the goals, step back for a minute and watch your son play as a team member, not listening to the parents bagging the coach in the car on the way home.
