i agree with the idea of it being called off if its 15-0.....but i think they need to fix a rule for cup....its beyond a joke having C division teams playing A teams first up

it should be like the carling cup in england......the lower division teams fight it out first, whoever can make it, then take on harder divisons.

so start C's to fight it out first, half of the C's will vs B teams and whoever is left from the B's play each other. the winner of the B's play the A teams and whoever is left from the A's play each other......gives the underdogs a challenge....not one that difficult that your the bottom C team playing the top A team.

Sounds REALLY organised that does . . . . .

worth a thought though.

5 or 6 years ago they used to put all the teams into groups of 4 so a good mixture of teams played each other.

The down side with the group set-up though is a weaker team would get hammered each week 'cause you could get knocked out on goal difference.

Prefer the Carling Cup method i like the sound of that :)

After about 10, should have played with 1 player short, if the goals kept coming, then taken another off. Would have helped both team to learn, isnt that what we as coaches are supposed to be doing ????
What would have his players learnt this game, how to humiliate another team ???? He has probably scarred the Beverly boys for life, some will probably never want to play again !!!
I was at this game and we must put the match in perspective. The Beverley Lions team had started with only 10 players and had played the complete 80min with the ten players even though some were carrying injuries by the end of the game. Our boys were feeling down but the odds were against them at the start and they were not going to give up regardless of the out come. We had spoken to the boys at the end of the game and they all were feeling down but had taken some good out of the game as a team bonding exercise. They all seemed happy enough to put the game behind them and to get on with the real challenge of do well in there own group being the C grade. The opposing team must look hard at them self’s and ask them self’s what they had actually accomplished by this result other than giving there own team / club a bad report with regards to sportsmanship. Not only do there own coaching staff have to look at the type of comments they used to encourage there players to defeat the BLFC with such a huge number but also there practice of SMOKING in the dug out. Lets all be reminded that this is a SMOKE FREE game and this particular person should no longer be allowed in a dugout again.
I absolutely agree that there should be no smoking within the vicinity of childrens sport particulary as this is a smoke free zone but please explain where Adelaide City showed bad sportmanship....yes they defeated a side 30-0...maybe the question should be what could the score have been.

The AC coach was in a no win situation and to say he should be shot is ridiculous...he rotated his players and changed his forwards and defences....at no time was there any bad sportmanship shown by this team...in fact quite the opposite.....the team were not even permitted to sing their club song at the end of the game....they went out of their way not to behave with arrogance...the opposition parents were supporting the goalie who seemed to be doing a lone job....maybe questions could be asked of the Beverly coach who maybe should have made some defensive moves.

Do not blame the team for a draw which saw them play against a team in a different league which did not have enough players to field a full side

I play for campbelltown 15's and in the cup we thrashed seaford 15-0 which was a joke considering that we had 3 players out and another 2 (including myself) coming back from injury, so if a team albeit a c division team cant put up any sort of competition they deserve to be thrashed and for ppl to say there should be a mercy rule to make these teams feel better shows there are to many soft ppl who want to treat these teams like under 8's

Exactly!!!

It's still U15's M8y - start working on 1 or 2 touch or 10 passes before attacking goal. Development is the name of the game at your age - physically (technique, skills, etc.) and mentally.

So after changing your name after a ridiculous first post, did you learn anything about your
7-1 loss today to Para Hills ? :oops:

Obviously you are not over your injury and still have players away whilst Para Hills were not at full strength either i hear :shock:

Tsk Tsk Tsk

Hope you get us in the next round of the cup

Got some favourable linesmans decisions too :shock: , but hey that was last year with your hysterical coach that kept getting sent off by the ref's, win at all costs eh :P

we'll send you a bucket if you think you're gonna mop up again, you really need to look/listen to yourself.

yea sure, us get favourable decisions, were always the 1's the ref 's have it in 4 , last year against para hills the ref chested us out of a sure win by awarding a soft free kick and allowing an offside goal then he had the ignorance to wink at the para hills coach after the match (oh yea guess what the ref was from para hills, so dont talk about us getting desicions our way when the cheats r those dirty poms ova at para hills :evil:

Easy tiger :| , you have a lot of racial frustration for a 14 yo, don't see Football Freak using THAT sort of racial crap in this thread.

He's put a challenge down for you so take it, don't gob off with the racial stuff or i'll get one of your "dirty pom" coaches to have a word with you at training.
