I have never been a fan of trials but I do understand why clubs need them. But I have heard a club calling a parent whose kid made it at another club and paid their deposit to come over to their club, even offered the parent to reimburse them the deposit.!! WOW, for juniors!!! We lost two players ...

If clubs allow underperforming or incompetent coaches to continue, they suffer relegation consequences. If the club management is not strong-willed enough to remove that underperforming coach, they should remove themselves and let others step in to run clubs professionally. If players (e.g. JJ) are ...

So what should South do? Coach isn't to standard, JJ their best player. Is Club leadership in charge, or are Rideouts in charge? A good test for South, however suspect they won't do a thing. JJ will.leave EOY if they get relegated, however is it worth losing a season when strong leadership could ...

Im happy to see the back of some people, who decided to leave, bag the club, but yet were happy taking lots of money to be development coaches etc at the club over the years. The club will be fine, and going into a direction of younger players in U18s and Reserves is the best step right now. Your ...

What is going on at Metrostars with their Juniors. This season their U17 JPL did league and cup double and their U15 JPL did league and cup double. But hearing stories of lots of these players all leaving the club. Must be serious if they can not keep this talent at the club. How are things going ...

Pretty sure they haven't replaced him, he's just stepped into another role.

Yes, it was agreed long time ago.

Talking to Fulham person at the Campbelltown cup night, Saraceno was the front runner for the job, have they announced yet or was it a red herring?

In the local league forum, someone posted that junior fees for under 6 are $1035. It was posted in a topic concerning metrostars players re-signing. I guess this is what metro charges? As a matter of interest, on average, what to other clubs charge? When people like yourself gazza stopped ...

In the interest of fairness, I think that forum members who come on here, and mention other clubs by name for supposedely engaging in less than proper practices, should also state their club affiliation.

West Adelaide went from state league to premier league. Made the Prelimary Final. Lost in the lottery. And were Fed Cup runners up. That is pretty impressive and no way a failure. Others clubs have been in the Premier League for years and have not been able to have a result like that in one season ...

Feel free to shoot the messanger, hey!

Just heard that Metrostars Under 17s have departed the Club as a unit. Apparently, a couple of neighbouring Clubs, taking advantage of the Metro Cup fiasco, to convince most of the lads to move. If this is true, as code, we need to be ashamed of ourselves. I'd be interested on the opinion of Sulmona ...

Toros are now offering a non fees opportunity.
So there's a real choice.
$ 0 TO $ 1000.
Chose the fee structure and stop complaining.

Good to see Club try.
Well done regardless

I'm sure they will. Croydon together with Para Hills, ABE and CCSC, is one of the only four Clubs who believe in development ahead of winning.

Did any one from the under 19s drop down for this game?[/quote] Para hills did not drop any players. Para hills has a strict policy not to bring players down unless there is absolutely no alternative. Players are always brought up where possible. No player is benched or sacrificed to make way for ...

Are Metro having Junior Trials this year?
Unless I've gone blind, I can't see it on here.
Can someone from the Club post the details?
Thanks.

Please leave it al one. Following your own advice would be a good start. PS I like Metro but I'm not a supporter. Use the search button, and you'll be surprised of some of the names that come on the subject of cheating. :wink: You just couldn't leave it could you? Where have I said anything about ...

Everyone should let it go and let Metro's deal with it. That would be far too logic for people and clubs with an axe to grind :wink: I'll try and make this my last post in the subject of the MetroStars incident. Most of what brings people back to this subject is Metro people making derogatory ...

I took my son out to watch the Under 15's game as he wants to play next year. He watched those North Eastern Metrostars players, play with spirit, energy and pride, they kept their heads held high and played with dignity, win or lose they should be very proud, am looking forward to know of their ...

Also even after inter went 1-0 down and a man down as well, they lost it. The way they responded wasn't the refs fault. Plenty of teams have come from that exact position and won the game, they wouldn't have been the first. That sort of decision makes stronger teams rally and dig in their heels ...

Metro have reappointed him and given him more responsibility.
They Must be happy with his methods.

How come so many?
were ABE kIDS from last season that bad?

Not sure if I am to come next week to City trials or go to ABE trials this week considering they messaged me last night :? Do you think it was a mistake :lol: Nah, they thought you do 'em favour and post them on Football News :P Adelaide Blue Eagles trials for 19s & Reserves at Marden this evening ...

How are the lads going? Any other Club represented?
