Makes perfect sense and thats what should happen if done right. Host us at Lakeside to open the tournament. We haven't played each other for 20+ years.

Never bagged the crowds etc, what your doing off the field is great. I just bag the excuses for not winning the league with an open cheque book 😉

Thats another good option, what Sutherland are doing at the moment is fantastic.

I'd hope so. South play all their matches on a Friday Night?

Fixtures will be released next friday.

Surely the showcase opening match?

Green and gold got the exclusive before anyone else. 😉

Sutherland will have something to say about that.

its people that watch to much big bash cricket. next will be power plays.

as i read it, you still get the 1 point for a draw, but this is a bonus point if you win the shoot-out. This is another example of idiots running our game.

Well this is one way to ruin a competition.

not sure if i shared this before.

expect a big cro number at lakeside. :cool:

nah fuck that, this one is better. lol

Yes we did. :cool:

what i can say, its not that mock up draw that was released over a week ago. thank fuck

ive seen the groups :cool:

Another meeting with the FA at 5pm today.

Add Lochlan Constable & Dean Pelekanos to that list, gone from Rockdale to Blacktown Spartans.

He was an Assistant at Sydney United for a little while, i think under Kalac or Juric, did relatively ok with Hurstville. Marconi is massive step up, but lets see what he has to work with come 2027

cheers, and that's just my opinion, interesting to see if others are in the same boat, or disagree somewhere?

FINAL SEASON GRADINGS - BOTTOM 8 9th Rockdale (40 Points) – Grading D – I’m sure their supporters would agree that it’s been a failure of a season, most pundits predicted and had Rockdale in the top 4, but this season just didn’t click. Players looked like they didn’t want to play for the...

🚨 🚨 AJMOOOOO 🚨🚨 Rumor Mill. Alessandro Lacalandra & Michael Vakis from Hurstville Zagreb to Marconi to follow their new head coach Valerio Silvestro. Marconi Squad is shaping up for a clear out, with 6-8 players on their way out.

FINAL SEASON GRADINGS - TOP 8 1st - APIA Leichhardt (68 points) – Grading A – They were favorites from the start of the season, tipped to win the premiership and with a stacked squad, enough to field two solid teams, they delivered. 2nd - Sydney United 58 (64 points) - Grading A – 10...

🚨 AJMOOOOO 🚨 Ollie Wiggans from Rockdale to Blacktown Spartans. Done Deal.

Odd, where does that leave Antelmi?

i'm thinking, ajmmmooooooo

they don't have passports to go out southwest. did many of them go to sutherland last night? seemed as though there was banter between players and fans ? @theFOOTBALLlover Manly is in some form, only 1 loss in their last 13 games.

All of a sudden Olympic have money now. if only they treated the NPL in the same way. went to the highest bidder lol

Perfect results and 120min lol Better not fuck this up lol. But credit to manly they are in form

Cant wait for episode 10

120min 😎

Who?

Interesting what happens to marconi and the championship. Who's staying, Who's going?

Blow full time.

Dramas behind the scenes. They've been terrible since the announcement of the coaching departures.

I rather play Marconi this sunday then Sutho. But a manly and spirit win is ideal

Moudi Najjar to Sydney Olympic

Perhaps its a little disappointing considering its final series time. But carry on. As for the quality of the game, Marconi not even a shot in the first half.

Hit a nerve. Wouldn't take me long tonight.

Last year against Sydney United had a great crowd at the same stage.

Clickbait

Compare the two crowds tonight. Sutherland easily over 1k again probably pushing 2k, marconi not even 100 people? Wow.

No, just us. cause we have unique dickheads running the game.

because its about field availability, they book out these massive final venues in advance, either oki jubilee in Kogarah or Parramatta Stadium, and it costs a bomb and it cant be moved. I seriously think an NPL final doesn't need to be at any of those stadiums.

Correct, they play this Friday, just unsure where and what time.

Northern Tigers v St George FC Saturday, 5 September 6:30pm North Turramurra Recreation Area St George FC v Northern Tigers Saturday, 12 September 6:30pm Barton Park

both games are on sunday, a mild 24. let's hope there's a few red cards, injuries and that it goes all the way tonight.

My predication is Marconi & Sutherland to get through.

actually make that 340mill pounds when you add Elliot Anderson. The court case is probably costing the FA a bomb, while man city has 30+ lawyers on it, and unlimited money.

The Argentinian Charlie Adams. In all seriousness, what's that, man city spent 220mill pounds on two players. How's those 115 charges going, awfully quiet....

At least you are at 4pm, we are at 2pm FFS, as per FNSW's directive. They want both semi's split so both can be watched in full at different times. But that won't happen if we go into penalties. Its Father's day, and there will be a lot of lunches on etc, our club requested 3pm, but these...

3 for me, just get rid of that red sponsor lol

they've been dead since like 2009 / 2010. it's a great turn around.
