Thread deleted.
Looks like it.
I hope that the Metro Stars committee issue a statement to their members, at least with a recommendation that they stop blaming other clubs and their teams.
At the moment the parents of players at the club are making unfounded remarks about other teams, degrading other clubs and their players. This is starting to take it's toll on all the hard work that Metro Stars committee has done over the years.
Remember - win or lose, the kids did their best. Congratulate them all.

U17 - Metro Stars and Adelaide Blue Eagles were disqualified for not understanding the FFSA Cup rules, and inadvertently playing ineligable players.
Para Hills and Adelaide City were promoted into the finals, having lost to the disqualified teams in the Semi-finals.
Para Hills vs Adelaide City, with Para Hill winning yesterday.

Well done to all involved in the Cup rounds.
I'm not sure what you on about Metro people making remarks, and degrading other Clubs.
What I'm sure about though, is that everyone at the Club is thouroghly embarrassed and mortified by what happened.
I'm sure the Club has already taken action and will do what's necessary to avoid a repeat.
This is probably to lowest point in the Club History, and an incident that overshadowed the wonderful achievement last saturday.
I would not wish it to any opposing Club Member, to ever feel the way I, and I know a lot of other members and players feel now.

Will a statement be published which outlines the facts, including the number of adults involved (or not involved), and the subsequent outcomes?
You will find that accusations of cheating have been made against many Clubs since the inception of Football News.
If I recall correctly,whenever the abuse gets too much, the topic gets deleted.
Quite sure that was the case 3 or 4 years ago, when an incident between a couple of junior coaches from opposing Clubs, risked getting out of hand, as well as accusations of Clubs dropping players to lower age groups
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 trial dates for my son for 2013!

Mate, bad move to post your first one on this topic.
Be strong, you're going to cop it.

That would be far too logic for people and clubs with an axe to grind
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 comments about other clubs. Whoever deleted the previous thread removed any evidence of it, but most of the comments came from Metro parents sticking the boot into Adelaide City and Para Hills; not deserved, etc. They also said that things like 'it's not the kids fault, the ffsa should turn a blind eye' or there about; this shows no respect for the other teams that played by the rules.
Now we have people posting on here:
AC v PH U17 - "Rumour has it that the winners were handed bronze medals, while the losers received nothing?"
Comments like this were being bandied around yesterday at Hindmarsh all day.
Now there are people trying to belittle an U15 team because their team lost, saying things like: "Despite being runners up were the first to extend their hand to their winning opponents..." A play on words that does not mention which team shook hands first before the game, and which team was called out to receive their medals first and then went and shook hands.
Whoever you are, no-one is belittleing any other team. The fact that we are proud of the Under 15's in the way they conducted themselves yesterday and that it has been mentioned has no bearing on what any other team does, says or acts. I think people sometimes need to read what is read and not read anything into it. I would have posted these comments win or loose so don't be so touchy!!!

Please leave it alone.
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.

You just couldn't leave it could you? Where have I said anything about cheating? I had a lot of respect for Metro's, I know a few people down there and respect them. I didn't take too much from the information posted on the forum about Metro officials signing a Statutory Declaration about not playing ineligible players. I've even tried to get people to tone it down and to remember that there are kids involved in all teams. However, it seems that there are people from your club that just can not let it go, and keep posting on here about others.
So, are the claims true or false? Did Metro Stars sign a Stat Dec? Lets end the rumours, once and for all.

Good luck for your son at the trials but a word of advice - he should try at various clubs to increase his chances of being selected as it is not easy for an outsider to be picked for the following season's team as most players are selected from in- house or have played at a previous club and are a decent standard to dislodge the existing players.

I don't know, I'm not from Metrostars.
Funny how Metro are the butt of jokes for their lack of supporters, then all of a sudden they have people posting on here, people going around Hindmarsh putting other Clubs down, blah blah blah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has your son been playing with a club beforehand or has he just decided to start now? Yeah, I'm sure he'd walk into one of the top teams going around starting as a 14 or 15 year old.........

bad luck to city, fought to the end.
Rumour has it that the winners were handed bronze medals, while the losers recieved nothing?
You know what Greg 11 Pull your head in If you want to have a go at someone why don't you Start with the people it involves don't have a go at the teams in the final because they didn't play the illegal players you sad well done to para and ad city for putting on a very entertaining match
In my eyes Metro are a club full of hard working people who earnt at least my respect . Every negative post re this topic takes this away. I feel sorry for the metro faithful who have built the club to where it is now.
the result will show para hills defeated Adelaide city in the final.
That is the end of it !
Everybody take a deep breath, put your patriotism/narrow mindedness/bias/bitterness etc etc etc in a box for the garbo to collect this week & go and support your child this weekend regardless of who he/she plays for.
The biggest problem with Junior football in this state is the absolute rubbish politics that seems to dictate what happens off the field & ultimately spills onto the field at times.
enjoy the game, enjoy the fact your child is at a level that they can play at Federation standard & start to get on with life without all the BS that has flown around here over the last 3 weeks !
Good luck to all the kids for the final month of season 2012.
"just let them play ".
I'm not one to point fingers but how come in this very negative comment is being regarded as someone with something to do to with metro? How is that fair? There were other teams disqualified from the semi final also... in the end these comments may not even be from these teams involved, it's a public forum where peoples identities are hidden.
congratulations the comets under 16's for putting in a hugely gutsy effort against city. after losing 6-0 to them in the league, and sitting at 3rd to last, they rose to the occasion at Hindmarsh, nearly winning it if not for the late equalizer, than going down 3-1 in extra time. they were big underdogs, and made city work hard to win it!
