NPL 2026

I heard the APIA vs United game was not only heated on the field but off it too, sparked by Jack Stewarts goal celebration. Apparently, there was dramas after the full-time whistle.

Another thing i found out which i couldn't believe, APIA had their juniors at the game which the club made compulsory, I am all for that. But, as soon as their half time game that the kids played in finished up, there was an exodus out the front door. None of the parents of the kids stayed around to watch the second half. You'd think they'd have a stronger attachment to the club than that.

Poor Form.

Noticed this in the broadcast, seemed like it carried on a bit further than initially intended. Very good player, and not to take a specific side but Stewart loves to stir the pot. Can be a bit cheeky at times, clearly a man not lacking in self confidence

I saw the 3 minute highlights of the match, and not sure why the APIA forward went straight to the Sydney Croatia fans to celebrate. We usually cop it when opposition teams score at Lakeside.

I always thought it was becuase the poor players of other teams don't have anyone to run to when they score against us?

and then plays the victim when something is said to him, even though he incited the crowd.

can't believe he didn't get booked for his celebrations.

yep - and we see this kind of celebration world over a scorer going in front of the opposing fans.....
Nothing wrong imo but it can cause angst amongst supporter groups and spikes the game up on the pitch as well.

Beretta - Sat eve pre mums day and all - maybe dinners etc but no big deal even though there is pressure by the club supporting the Snrs.
I have no issue on the Clubs directive, any club can/try to force this but we know it isn't followed - I see it that many today need a kick the arse - its not like the days of blinded devotion.
That wasn't card worthy might I add.

I see that everywhere in all divisions at most clubs.

1-meter in front of the fans and then decided to go on with it. It's definitely a yellow card offense.

Not to mention the scrotum grab directed toward the fans and in front of kids just before half-time.

he is a grub.

I'm all for the club forcing their juniors to watch first grade, just surprised they all left at half time lol.

i'm talking more about juniors, like 10 year olds and there families, not 20s players.

match day at our ground this year has been very engaging, and a lot of families and kids. i dont think our club forces junior kids to come, but encourages them to go, and the ones that do, dont leave.

anyways, i just found it strange, and never knew people got up and left during the game. It's no dig at APIA. (y)
 
Yeah, all good. I'm just taking the piss.

Also, re: Jack Stewart, didn't you guys have an initial confrontation with him at a home game at Edensor last season?
