Batfink,

Certainly understand your frustrations. As for clubs look towards most of the top 6-8.

Put a CV together and contact the president or technical coach of these clubs. Clubs are always looking for good quality first grade players to bolster their squads. It's a matter of letting them know your lad is available and looking to move forward. With his experience he shouldn't have much trouble upgrading to a better club.

Clubs and coaches don't generally come knocking on your door as this is regarded as poaching and frowned upon.

Don't know how to put this and please don't get offended but you come across in a very negative way which is to be expected considering what I call the parra sydnrome of negativity.

Chin up mate things are not as bad you think once you get out of the mudpool which is parra fc.

Good luck I hope things turn out well for you guys.

didnt the president of the GDSFA step down?
maybe that may help melita.
i think tanner actually had something to do with it

link doesnt work but if you cut and paste it you will get there.....

crazy shit going down at parra.......new coach franco is doing good things if he was left to do his job things would surely improve....but all a bit to little to late i'm afraid

One most important substance for success is missed here in the last few posts; a player must have qualities, health and a bit of luck to proceed to the next level of his playing career.

Club/ coach does not make a player but guide their talents hopefully in the right football direction, if one club/coach is not good for a player than there is next season or another option go and trial overseas, this year both 1st and 2nd choice BWE goalkeepers went for OS trials, both great keepers, no A League places for them so prove this A League coaches wrong and succeed at higher level.

Brett Emerton played his youth at Gunners Glenfield, Macarthur park football, than at Macarthur Rams, I bet these coaches did not provide a professional path for then young Emerton.

They gave him an opportunity at the highest level he was competing at the time.

So please guys one of you took his son to City so they can make footballer out of him (not everyone at City will make it as a Footballer), the other is stuck at Parra…. Bottom of the league….( Parra played very good football against BWE) and so on….

These excuses have nothing to do with the success or ability of individual players, here is one example from the highest league Spanish Première, but principle is the same. Barcelona let go of a young 16 yo footballer, few years later are buying same footballer back for some exuberant sum of money (do not know his name it is in the transfer for this season). This player and his persistence got him self back to the top again.

agree....been there and done it....been oversea's and played professionally, been offered contracts here in A-League youth but politics and a previous professional stink prevent it from happening, and continues to persist, just seems hard to get the dots to join......

You raised some good points. Agree a player must have qualities, skills, health and good luck. He must also have a work like ethic, never give up commitment and dedication to succeed.

I took my lad to city because I know they only employ quality coaches and after the first weeks I was very impressed with the coaching and system city have in place. A good coach can make all the difference to a players success or failure. The whole process starts with a well run club from the management right to the coaching staff. It's true the player must have it in him in the first place for a good coach to be able to weave his magic. So the two go hand in hand. I know coaches that have their sons at certain clubs based purely on the quality of coach. A player must have confidence in his coach and coach must have confidence in his players. So my job being done the rest is up to him.

The learning environment is also of the utmost importance. It must be positive and constructive. Nothing good can come from a destructive and negative environment.

Parra this season and I'm sure Batfink will agree has been in turmoil due to granvilles infighting politics in which a big chunk of the directors have recently resigned. The club has been performing badly and this filters down to the players and coaching staff. Which make the wholes process a difficult set of circumstances and not a good environment for the players.

I'm guessing your from BWE. I would be very interested to hear your views why BWE are performing so well this year, They are the standout team according to the table. Players? Coaches? Environment? Attitude? etc.

Many players at higher level will go to a club simply for the coach. EG: Ange Posteglou (Ex- City coach), Graham Arnold etc.

There is only one guarantee in football and that is there are no guarantees.

At least he's got one of The Chance winners in his squad (as does Sydney United). You'd just wish the coaches would take a gamble and place those blokes in the first grade line-up a few times to see whether they're ready.

Young Mate saw a bit of game time early last season (he was only 16/17 at the time). He looked dangerous in patches but didnt quite look ready for regular first team football. Think it had more to do with the physical side of his game than the technical.

I've watched him a few times in the 20s this season and he's a great player. Just hoping he can adjust to the jump from 20s to First Grade

Rockdale 1 - 0 Parramatta Eagles

Late winner for Rockdale. 0-0 would have been good for us

Well SU58 drop to 7th place now. Rockdale up to 6th.

same old story....ripped off again....

penalty in the 92nd minute to rockdale.......

fair result was a draw...parra hit the post twice and had two hand balls in the rockdale penalty area go without notice.....4 out injured for parra....

wouldn't be to happy if i was mark rudan or a rockdale supporter......

can't say i was impressed with rockdale....looked very average to me....

BWE have great supporters who above all love football, managing committee the same and unchanged personal for the last few years. Head and the assistant coach took the team about 4 years ago, since that time every year we had an exodus of players, this year alone about 7 first choice players, but credit to both coaches as they recruited well and this team just grew together playing some great football, at the beginning in the trails no one gave them much of a chance, I do not know how the season is going to end but we are all proud of their achievements.

Regarding your son at the City of course it is a great club with great youth coaches, but take your son to different academies so he can experience different coaches, worst thing for a young player is to have same old coach or team mates for many years.

LOL...just read the match review.....Mark rudans accessment is way closer than the match review.......

ah well there's always next week.......

No12,

The BWE lads have certainly taken the comp by the throat this year and full credit to the players, coaches, managers and supporters. But as you know finals football is a completely different ballgame. That is an area where anything can happen and usually does. Teams need to be more than consistant. They need to be able to lift that extra gear higher than the opposition. Best of luck with the rest of the season. Looking forward to some great footy come finals time.

Good advice, He has already attended an academy. My lad spent 16 months at the Australasian Soccer Academy training up until feb this year and playing and training with players like Kwabena Appiah (CCM & WSW), Alusine Fofanah (Manchester City) and coached by ex-nsl coach Bruno Jasiczek as well as the excellent training from Mark Strachan at blacktown city. So he has been getting plenty of training by different quality coaches.

Batfinks lad also went to ASA and one of City's first graders did as well. That's how I knew Batfinks lad was a kick arse player. All the ASA lads are spread around quite a few NSWPL clubs and know each other well ;)

As far as a career goes this is where being at the right club like blacktown city can make a big difference to a career or not. This year City have a young socceroo from their under 20's, A player just gone to Everton from U/18's and one recently signed to AS Roma in Italy. These in the last 3 months.

Batfink,

The match reviews especially on the FNSW website are written by people who never even attended the match. They put football words into a jar and pull them out at random and create a report.

Same old story with the refs in the NSWPL, all a bunch of spastics which loving giving penalties away. every week there is 2 or 3 without fail and they are as soft as they come :oops:

19-SU-58,

This may be true but the pendulum swings the way of the attacking side. You have to be in the box to get the penalty in the first place. So if Parra was in the oppositions box they might have ended up with a penalty. As it pans out rockdale were in parra box. You don't win games in your own half of the field.

We were average last night. Very lucky to get the points. draw would of Bern fair result but we will take it as we've played well in other games and not come away with the points. Full credit to parra but in saying so we can play a hell of a lot better. Losing our skipper this week didn't help. Anyway were still in the hunt and sterrey didn't come back to haunt us. So that's good.

Catchup games tonight.

Bonnyrigg White Eagles v South Coast Wolves, Saturday 7th of July, 7:00 pm Bonnyrigg Sports Club

Manly United FC v Marconi Stallions, Saturday 7th of July, 7:00 pm Cromer Park

BWE V SCW will be a cracker. If BWE win then put the looking glasses down for the season. If SCW win then this will bring SCW within one point. This also opens the door for Marconi to possibly get to 3 points behind. Tough gig for all 4 sides as Manly will want to get away from the bottom of the table as well with the first of their 2 catchup games on the line tonight.

So depending on tonights results will make the comp tighter than a fishes gearbox or put the lookers down the horse has bolted.

we had three calls for penalty in the rockdale box...1 wasn't even close the other 2 were close and at the very least 1 was definately a penalty......

don't you worry we were in the rockdale box plenty......young fella got a bad hip injury last night and we had another 3-4 players out with injury.....

that's life just goot get on with it

Fulltime scores.

Bonnyrigg White Eagles 3 v 1 South Coast Wolves
Manly United FC 0 v 1 Marconi Stallions

I've been told that Macallister and the Jap guy have both played their last game for Rockdale because they have both signed with Wanderers.

I wonder how that will affect their squad depth.

LOL...

personally i think there are alot of better players than Mcallister to play there ...what i saw of the jap guy he was pretty good...and i thought he had alot of mongrel and get up and go...out of all the rockdale players i thought he was heads and shoulders above the others.....and to be fair to Mcallister i believe he was sick the other night...but i do base my comments on his entire A-League career.....

i really do think popovic could do alot better than just signing players who have played the A-League before........he needs to get a shit loads of playeres and do real trials to see whats available......very regimented and complacent....trying the safe bet......

do a couple of days when you invite all NSWPL clubs to put there best 5 players forward.....and play against the signatures and the trialists....its all to pedestrian and predicatable.............

just got home from the sutho apia game sutho completely dominated the game and deserved there win. Also just read the match report on the NSW web site so inacurate again they are so biast to some players its not funny, its a fucking discrace

LOL....can't remember a season where the reports are so inaccurate from certain scribes......aussiesrus must be right when he says they don't attend the games.....

dotn know if i agree with you about whether they were or were not penalties but i accept your boys played well and were unlucky not to get something. from my end. weve dominated games and not taken the points so i will take an ugly win any day of the week.

not sure if either of the two lads mentioned on here have signed. i know taku was trialling. anyway, if they maike it good luck to them. we managed to get by before dylan arrived and if he was to leave, which is not sure, we will manage as well. taku has been great in games. hes also had a couple of average ones, im thinking the marconi game. anyway, we will be able to cover if need be and im sure we wont be the only team who might be affecte by players either signing with the west sydney or going voerseas for trials. its that time of year!

no worries....i thought there was a definate penalty there, so did our players......but whats done is done....get on with it and keep going......

For me it's hard to cop the constant drivel about parra being rubbish...when clearly they are very competetive and have been so close on so many occassions to taking the points or at least sharing them.....just shows you when confidence is down luck is following close behind.....there are some very very talent young players in that squad......average age in the team is something like 21, which is very young for the NSWPL.....so they should be please with their efforts to date...even if it isn't reflected on the points table

mate, ive never rubbished parra and have said theyre competitive, maybe a little naive, but definitely a talented side. should of beat utd away, and could of beaten bonno and us. no easy games in the pl thats for sure. the table is so tight right now, its crazy. pretty much every team other than parra can make the finals if they go on a run and only bonno look safe to be there.

any word on who else from the pl poppa is looking at?
