We have that Marty Lo fella in our U20s now pushing for firsts

He came from you guys i believe, gun player but needs to bulk up will be snapped easily

Watched him play a couple years ago.. From what i saw back then very good player and will definitely push for first grade

rockdale dirty? youre kidding right. the game was a relatively fair game although there was a bit of banter between some of the players. your new cro boy up front was in the middle of it.
anyway, the only firty act was by triantis who came off the bench. he cleans up isaac savor, who is a calm kid and definitely not a rough player, stands over him and kicks him. that sparked players to run in. he was rightly given a red and unfortunately for isaac who did nothihng wrong so did he.

so dont go saying rockdale played a dirty physical game. especially when you werent at the game although no doubt we'll see you this year as you love turning up to our games!

the new recruits i agree are quality.

is there a transfer deadline day for NSW?

I noticed FFV had one that finished up yesterday I believe.

My local team Hawkesbury played Blacktown City last night the game ended 3-2 after Hawkesbury were 2-0 up. Good effort from the boys are play in the third tier

wasnt there

I heard the same thing from Josh sama
and marko sama against meilta

with rockdale getting several yellow against melita

no need to get angry

Hawkesbury are one of the few clubs I can't stand. Always big, quick and physical but not much attempt at playing football from the back.

Please. In football money talks, if CCM were willing to invest in us & keep their branding, that's fine with me and all the kids who play for Northbridge. Regardless of if we go up and down our club is now an attractive NPL side that offers pathways most footballers would dream of.

oh again youre passing on second hand info.

absolute bollocks but anyway.

on melita, dont knwo which refs they have out there but theyre a disgrace. couldnt be more biased if they tried.

peter makrillos gets hacked from behind. as hes falling to the ground, his botto clips the melita player who hacked him. melita player bleeds- pete gets yellow card. logic.

we get free kick, we take it quickly and score. ref calls it back.
melita get free kcik, identical circumstances, take it quickly but miss. our boys ask the ref whats the go? he says its his choice.

nothing like consistency!


anyway, melita were well structured. they will be solid.

the quality of Ref's in NSW are pi55 F***en poor!!!

I cant believe some of them went on to get a HAL gig :oops:

No doubt the conditions were to re-brand Northbridge completely, name, badge etc...
ohhh well time to change your name and avatar now.
the name northbridge does not exist anymore.

have to agree on standard of refs. sad thing is when we get a-league refs dropping down, theyre no better.
anyway, hopefully we dont see teams lose games because of critical decisions.

Northbridge still exists at association level.

Juniors you mean?
so at what age does it get taken over by the so called "CCM"? :?

No association - juniors to seniors. I think only their rep teams are North Shore Mariners.

That's a true reflection on the Hawkesbury area a rugby league area and no understanding of football.

Im not going to argue with that summary.

Pathways were there as you know, money ha, from what I know not much was exchanged but I'm sure you'd counter by saying the direct link with CCM is good enough. Anyway as I said good luck CCM ;)

Can't say I can't stand Hawkes, just their way theFOOTBALLlover, maybe not be correct but they make use of their strengths, not as technical but I like watching more skilled playing teams trying to overcome them, just as Sthern Districts in a way.
Last years U15's were big units, some with skill but make more use of their size still at this age as we know, I watched U16's last Sunday, some of them can play U20's purely by their bulk lol, over the years you watch these type of teams losing the plot when their opponents are good on the ball - frustrates them and they lose the plot then cards start flowing !

I understand them making use of their strengths but they also need to improve their weaknesses (at youth level). That's what good coaching is about.

Yes agree.

BWE 1-1 Guangzhou R&F

First half was very dire, our boys were afraid to play football, game really opened up in the second half with both sides going for it. The Chinese were very fit and we gave it to em. Good hitout

Not a bad result.

Only Bosnar & Vrlic left from the Cros ?

POM YORKSHIRE - my new favourite player!

FT: Sydney United 2-3 Western Sydney Wanderers

FT: Rockdale 4-1 Blacktown City

That is the greatest name ever. :lol:

Parramatta 0-0 Hakoah.

Sutherland 3-1 Wollongong.

as discussed a few pages back, we still have Paric and Bilic who are both out injured.

Uskok should be joining the club after his CCM stint.

WSW NPL side is very quick and fit, they looked a lot sharper.... I take it they haven't stopped training at all?

Even though they snatched it late and we had 10 men, they will do well in the NLP2
