NPL 2026

Cant fault them on most of what they say but its specific club intetests perhaps not a specific nationality champ.. want to lay out on the table which club has copped the brunt of the FV... give you a hint?

i'm not in the know in terms of the politics of Melbourne FV, perhaps @Mkfc can back it up

But to go back to what the gents said on the podcast, you're suggesting that Hellas would of needed to play on that same pitch knights did over the weekend? or you dont get special treatment from the FV?

who get's the special treatment, Oakleigh?

from outsiders' perspective looking in, looks like the greek clubs & FV are in each other's pockets.

And I heard that both Preston and Georgies were both open to scheduling changes to help us out...

Preston didnt want the game played on Easter Saturday lol.

I know, but I heard they were open to postponing it ... Not saying FV complied...

The so called "brother Greek clubs" were not as accommodating.

I suggest you look a little closer if you think that. .

This pic says it all. Our captain had to retrieve the trophy himself...

Ti les, Floriniotes are Greeks. The bergers wave the greek flag almost as much as us. Well other than us they're the only other greek club to. And they have the vergina, greece's state emblem as well.
We have quite a few floriniotes at south (papasteriadi being one of them).

Amongst our selves to bicker is one thing, but we need to do away with it when it comes to skops and the like. As need to come together

Name another?

Anyway, like I said, you do you.. I always had a begrudging respect for Heidelberg until the past few visits to that shithole donkey park. The abuse and language from pretend Greeks towards us is worse than from other clubs in Victoria... They can get fucked, all of them.

Preston give better respect to South!!! That's a fact...good to see love is finally in the air between the two clubs!!!

Have been to BT Connor 3 times in past couple of years and have NEVER been called a "Southern mouni" or to jam my "Oceania up my arse" whatever that means... Just a friendly smile, a "good luck, enjoy the game" at the ticket booth and great food.

Only natural that the biggest clubs tend to have some more mutual respect than the rest!! Not exactly that rosey though!

If that lady would have retrieved the trophy should probably would have done a disc or dropped it.

Fair enough.. we live it and know exactly what is at play here!

No, South itself wouldve refused to play i assume and rightly so! knights shouldve done the same, lost the game anyway wouldve just added an extra goal to the score! Knights shouldve worked harder being the club they are to not have dropped, thats not an NPL ground, it is however a lower tiers ground unfortunately and we have all played on both good and bad over the years!

who get's the special treatment, Oakleigh?

Choakleigh for 1 yes, Avo for another...hardly 1 nationality.... if knights have proof come out and share it abd we will suppkrt it, otherwise they can keep the hyperbole to themselves... i mean complaining they got done for a flare aimed at the ground and players etc as proof of a conspiracy is super rich even by their standards... deflection at its best, bc i missed the memo for the greek community meeting in which we instilled the decree to keep the Croat clubs down in Melb! Hahaha

outsiders can say what they like..just like thay like they did when they call you all nazis doesnt mean 8ts the reality though yeah!! My club is clean of these inuendos!

listen to the whole podcast then comment.

they also mention, Preston, Dandy City and the treatment of most clubs by the Federation.

This isnt just a one off incident.

That's the whole point, they didn't have a choice it was play,or forfeit the game.

Your lower league comments are irrelevant, it's still the NPL and no player welfare was taken into consideration, that pitch is a disgrace. The Federation cares more about what scarves, T-shirts and comments people are making in the stands then what is presented on the pitch.

This isn't a Melbourne Knights issue, it's a Football Federation issue.
