For me I'd need to see what Skilleroos have achieved. I hear a lot about it but wouldn't have a clue what they've done. Ultimately, time will tell as to whether the program has worked. I'm expecting elite players with above average core shills should go on and play not just in SA but interstate and ...

Is Van Persie the best technical striker in world football for kids to watch?? His balance. His skill. His awareness. His technical ability to fool defenders & remain calm under pressure. Left foot,right foot or the head all the same ability. crosses the ball from left or right wing & always finds ...

Yes, I agree... Just the repeated negative responses are alarmingly surpassing the good I believe this forums were intended for. Don't get me wrong this world isn't a perfect place but it seems even the most simplest, innocent post seems to get harassed ... Yes, you're right. There's probably a lot ...

Not likely to happen - hopefully you encourage the kids to work hard at school and not fill their heads with ideas of something that is very unlikely to happen.

I know I shouldn't, but I'm being sarcastic.

Looking forward to seeing these boys progress to professional football.

With regard to winning, another way to look at this is: What kind of team do you want your child to play in? a. One that always wins b. One that always looses c. One that wins some, draws some, and loses some. I think the best is option c. but probably the most important part is that the child has ...

Not sure, could be wrong. Wasn't it South Melbourne that got banned from Kanga Cup because of violent behaviour of parents in 2011?

I know this is a Junior Forum but consider this. If Adelaide United were to lose every game would crowds increase, stay the same or reduce? Winning is important.
If they were to win every game how would crowds react. I would get a little bored.

This Mundine bloke would have to have the biggest chip on his shoulder. He would be one of the biggest racists I've ever seen. Can't wait to bring up the whitey card any time he can.

Negative play. Hardly no shots at goal in first half. Ridiculous yellow cards and Neill should've got red. Kruse played well but gee he behaves like a whiny little kid.

Pretty sad when we rely on pensioners to score goals.

Still don't understand why is it so important to know who is coaching which team unless you have a direct involvement? As soon as a post has been made other than Mersons positive comment about a past coach everyone enjoys a dig..... Forums such as these are for learning and knowledge although some ...

AC Juniors website is reporting that Trails closed. Freudian Slip??? I guess we didn't get to know who the coaches will be after all giving that some teams are gone.

Gee! how many got into Skillaroos?

Can't be sure. As many have said on this forum,'Winning isn't everything'. Perhaps policy at AC is to develop players and not worry about winning.

What is happening for 2013? Where in limbo!!!!!

I listen to ABC FM a bit and they do refer to him a few times, as they do to Deep Purple. No more Live in Japan.

It's no secret. It's on their website. But then again it does say Eddy Typek coaching there next year [/quote]

I wonder how much is rumour. Eddie Typek is still on AC website.

If true, another good coach and absolute gentleman who played a huge part in the development of many very good players at Ad City. Good luck Eddie.

Ditto. AC may have lost more than coaches this year.

Of course everyone is allowed their own opinion, however Adelaide City are the best team around in that age group, and Rob you have every thing to do with that, you are an amazing coach and person, Cumberland are very lucky to have you, Rob has pulled my son over after games and encouraged and ...

Robs team did well this 2012 season. A couple of top players were picked for the Skilleroos, loosing them put a big dent in the team. Having said this there were some surprises picked in the JPL, there's is no denying that. Next season will be an interesting one for City and whoever Rob goes too ...

Fair comment Faith No More. My boy plays at a good club in good team. I'm being honest here, I would rather see him move from his team to go to a developing one that has a good coach. Trouble is, he won't budge. Other team officials have approached us to move but the boy is stubborn.

Is it better for the league and these kids to thump a JSL team week after week or Move down the road and easily slip into a JPL side that had no wins, therefore making that side competitive and also help develop any team they play and themselves. Is it better for the league to have no age groups in ...

Sorry, but until you start naming clubs, I don't get what you are trying to say ... I've looked at AL Ks stats and the first one 19 18 0 1 looks like Adelaide City Boys 13 JSL. A team down the road is bottom, no wins, these kids couldn't make that squad? So for the purpose of a no league we can ...

If these players are so talented, then why are they in JSL to start with ? You tell me ZJ One side is in an age group and two clubs within ten minutes of them have no age in the JPL. Another team is undefeated while a club 2 minutes away is bottom. Again why do we want these players in the JSL why ...

19 18 0 1 19 16 1 2 JSL teams, what are these kids developing? surely these kids are better off in the JPL system making our leagues stronger. 17 15 0 2 19 15 1 3 JSL teams, what are these kids developing? surely these kids are better off in the JPL system making our leagues stronger. 18 15 1 2 17 ...
