Lady Reds vs Lady Tards

[SAD GAL]

Shame players

Shame FFSA

Commiserations to the coach. The Lady Reds gig is a career killer and poison chalice.

End of the day most of the players are not capable of anything more than kick, stumble (running in other words) and poor execution of skills (albeit limited). SO to suggest a Plan B is fanciful and should be left to boys in the under 12’s. Sad to say most of the players have NEVER come from a decent development background. They pick up the game, show a tad of skill (and I mean a tad) and then they’re signalled as “potential” and they play in Prems ant 14 or 15 and run rings around prems players and everyone says “Wow. What a good player”. Seen i before. Then they get into State and development programs and then make the Reds at 16.

Then when the team (made up of mostly inexperienced and limited skilled players) we (SA) get found out at State and W-League.

SA is not serious about the game. Not serious about the Reds. Not serious about State.

The women’s game has ruined the careers many good people and coaches. The current coach is one of them. Only the former SASI coach was able to escape somewhat intact.

There is no silver lining to this deplorable situation.

Former SASI coach doesn't coach, not involved in football at all!!

Former SASI coach is the reason the players in the current squad have limited skills etc as you describe so how he would 'escape' is beyond me..!

Only players to come through with any real chance of progressing (Waterhouse/Checker) had very limited involvement in SASI, with much more involvement in boys football!

If DE has any sense he will get out of SA before its too late for him!

The FFSA structure and development coaches are lacking in Sport Psychology; young players at the development stage are not properly prepared mentally. It could be argued that they are damaging players and the sport.

Sport psychology is an interdisciplinary science that draws on knowledge from the fields of Kinesiology and Psychology. It involves the study of how psychological factors affect performance and how participation in sport and exercise affect psychological and physical factors. In addition to instruction and training of psychological skills for performance improvement, applied sport psychology may include work with athletes, coaches, and parents regarding injury, rehabilitation, communication, team building, and career transitions.

Sport psychology offers a new realm of discovery for coaches and athletes at all levels of sport. Coaches can apply sport psychology principles to help improve team communication, cohesion, and satisfaction. Through applying these principles, you can create an atmosphere that can enhance athletes’ learning, build their confidence, and increase their motivation. Sport psychology also offers strategies you can use to help athletes improve concentration and maintain their composure under pressure. Such skills are trainable and controllable, and when executed, they can increase the likelihood that team performance will improve.

This Sport Psychology unit of study is designed to introduce students to the psychology of sport, and to advance students' awareness of important issues in sport psychology. The unit aims to: help students learn and understand the role of psychological phenomena for behaviour in sport and physical activity settings; help students understand how psychological variables influence participation and performance in sport; and help students understand how participation in sport influences the psychological characteristics of the individual. The lecture and tutorial sessions will introduce students to: the topics of individual differences in sport behaviour; the role of personality in sport participation; the role of motivation in sport participation and performance; the role of arousal and anxiety in sport performance; and the influence of interpersonal and group interactions on sport performance. A survey of the current sport psychology literature is the unit of study content.

@ QuantoQuesta, I'm the 'moron' your referring to. Tell me exactly whats abusive words I used...EXACTLY!!
Your full of crap!!
I did not abuse anyone, I was feeling those girls pain and frustration and responded. That day I saw some midfielders that just didn't want to support the defenders and seemingly refused to help the strikers.
The oppostion coach saw exactly the same thing as he didn't feel the need to put any of his players onto the midfielders, they were left unmanned and still didn't run to open space, still didn't cover the ground from box to box, like his midfielders did.
The MV coach saw what I saw and exploited the lack of midfield run beautifully.
Tell me how can 2 strikers have any hope in hell of scoring against 6+ opposition players if the midfield players don't support them.
Of course if the midfield don't support the defence as well, its gonna be a long day in the office for the defenders and goalie.

I don't pretend to have all the answers, but that day the opposition coach and I saw the exact same thing.

Good to see the following week Abby go into the midfield, she plays her heart out every single week. She is a true leader.

Look forward to you QuantoQuesta, or anyone else posting exactly what so called abuse I was yelling out....word for word.

I'll bleed for those girls, I feel their pain and I do get emotional, not gonna apologise for that, but you and anyone else accusing me of abusing those girls can put up (exactly what I said) or shut up!!!!

[Gazelle]

If you're not the coach, you shouldn't be yelling out instructions to the team. Can't you see that they were already disheartened?

In a match where they were already losing, going on and on and yelling at the girls only makes things worse.

Personally, as a supporter, I don't appreciate hearing people yelling out so much during the game. It spoils it for those of us trying to watch the game in peace.

I'm not here to argue with you, but just know that your actions affect everyone at the soccer, not just the girls and if you really support the team, you'll tone it down a bit or else the girls will lose some of the supporters because they just don't want to hear it!

"You're lazy midfield, stop being lazy" continuously for around 15 minutes mixed in with other nonsensical advice...

Oh and for the record, I understand the opposition coach who you believe agreed with you actually suggested to FFSA staff that you should have been removed from the ground and didn't understand how you were allowed to behave like that...

NUMPTY BOY !

@Quantro, what nonsensical advice you referring to....word for word, put it up.

Ok Gazelle, I'll tell the girls that I won't cheer anymore, (win or lose) because you don't like it.
Guarantee they don't feel the same as you, those girls encourage me to support the way I do and know exactly where my heart is and where I'm coming from.

So let me get this right, you are upset that the coach of a team shouted at his players, urging them to stop being lazy? What is he supposed to do, give them a hug and tell them everything will be okay? If you want to play soccer then expected to be treated like soccer players, not women soccer players, soccer players.
And you wonder why most men dont take your sport seriously :?

In the know? I think not.

In the know? I think not.

Im more than happy to match my credentials against yours. Would you care to tell me what I said that you disagree with? And, before you do, there is something you should know, The fact that your game is a laughing stock here in Adelaide really has no affect on me and / or my involvement in this game. If you are of the belief that I am wrong, well to be quite frank, I couldnt care less. The truth of the matter is, I am sure I know a hell of a lot more than you will ever know. Your game is a joke (an unfunny one at that) and people like you are responsible.

In the Know, if you can't read the rest of this thread and figure out what you got wrong in your post, then I can't help you.

Too many numpties coaching, supporting or proporting to know anything about the womens game. maybe that's why its going down the toilet in SA.
