Couple of goals in there I quite liked, keep it up Fury! Love to see lots of young fast players getting acknowledged, NPL is already a million times better than previous league formats right across the country, especially for Tassie and Queensland. Don't think it's worked too well in NSW yet, too many Sydney teams when there are good locations right on our doorstep (Blue Mountains, more South Coast, even Bathurst put out decent sides. Would be a big boost to football in these areas, especially in conjunction with a FFA Cup, could be brilliant for smaller areas with no elite representation in any code). Anyway back on topic, massive game for you guys this weekend, wish you guys the best and you've got some support all the way down here in Sydney!

Any ideas on how this will go down PB?

is that the game against the jerks?

you know where i'm heading with this, -pb

Which bit R_B?

P.S. As for the Jerks game pv4, whether it happens or there, you know there's gonna be some serious hand shaking going on ;)

Fury fans under spotlight for setting off flares

LIAM BUTTERWORTH | July 18th, 2013

THE head of the National Premier League in Queensland Ben Mannion says he is satisfied with the action taken against a group of "rogue" fans who lit flares during the Northern Fury's away game on the Gold Coast last weekend.

A video highlights package published on the Football Queensland website yesterday showed a group of five fans - with an F-Troop flag in front of them and chanting songs in support of the Townsville side - lighting flares on two occasions after the Fury had taken the lead against the Palm Beach Sharks.

The fans were standing on the opposite side to the main crowd but the smoke from a flare lit after Fury midfielder Michael Eisenhut's winning goal in the 81st minute did blow over the field, with vision showing a Palm Beach player walking through some thick smoke.

Mannion said he was happy with the action taken by officials at the game, who approached the group and asked them to stop with a threat of police involvement.

While common in some European leagues, Football Federation Australia considers flares to be dangerous under its code of conduct for supporters, and have this year handed long-term bans to fans.


Thick smoke wafts over the ground from the flares.

I'll get on the phone to Hatamoto.

Good on them. travelling all that way.

I think CroBagz was the ring leader of that rougue mob of hooligans. I'll send his mugshot to the FBI.

Aloisi factor helps King
LIAM BUTTERWORTH | July 26th, 2013


NORTHERN Fury midfielder Charlie King says he's still working on becoming a force in the centre of the park, but he can thank one of Australia's highest profile internationals for helping him along.

King played a season with the Melbourne Heart in the National Youth League in 2011/2012, working under former Socceroos striker John Aloisi on his debut as a manager. The 20-year-old first switched from his preferred right back to midfield at his former club at Ballarat, where Fury general manager Paul Smalley was technical director, but Aloisi, now manager of the Heart A-league team, also deployed him in the middle of the park.

His stint with the Heart was plagued by injury but King said the former Socceroo gave him plenty of useful pointers to help him work on his individual game.

"He helped me with mostly midfield work," King said.

"He helped me get more confidence when I'm on the ball and more confidence in my passing.

"Just scanning when I'm in the midfield and knowing where all the players are."

After getting a taste of youth level, King's A-league dreams still burn strong.

Now working under another former A-league player in Gareth Edds, the Tanzanian-born midfielder said he was taking on as much as he could while trying to build his confidence.

He overcame a torn calf muscle, a by-product of trying too hard to impress in the summer heat after moving from Victoria, which kept him out for the early part of the season and now commands a starting role with the Northern club.

"I came back and Gareth gave me a start in the midfield which I'm enjoying and I think I'm slowly getting better, I've just got to get more confidence in myself and I can play a lot better football," he said.

Edds said he was impressed with the work done by King in getting back to full fitness and cementing his spot.

"Charlie's come in and done a fantastic job in midfield, I've been happy with him," he said.

"He's a great worker in training and put in some good performances, especially in that six-match unbeaten streak we had."

King and the Fury's defence will be up against it tomorrow night as they face National Premier League leaders Olympic, who boast the most potent attacking force in the league.

Strikers Tim Smits and Danny Byrne have netted 40 of the team's 78 goals this season, while winger Jai Ingham, who returns from suspension to play the Fury, has nine goals.

"I think it's just a matter of concentration," King said.

"We have had a few games where we've had lapses.

"I think just last time we played against them we were just shocked at how good they were and we did play well and missed our chances, but if we just keep it up for the full 90 (minutes) and take our chances then we definitely can beat them."

What a great game fury defeat Olympic 6-3 and played a great style of football.They won the hearts of two new fans last night not because the won but because of how they did it. To be truthful they played the same last week against fire and were unlucky not to win.

See, thats appropriate action. Not 5 year ban or a 5k fine. Geez.

Or if in VPL it means the death of a long standing club.

It's all that is ever needed really.

What a fantastic game by the fury. Not for the score but for the style I am so proud to support a team with such an intelligent style of play. Firstly most of the play was out from the back. Nearly all of the goals were produced from great passages of play. Most of the attack was finalized by defense splitting passes. But the one I am most proud of was the moment in the game when the defense and the midfield played the ball from one side of the field to the other to the mid back to the defense. This caused the crowd some discomfort but all the time I could see the intelligence of holding the ball and trying to move the Olympic players to open up an opportunity to attack. It worked and an attack was the result showing not only the intelligence of the players but the tactical awareness and training skill of the coaching staff. I have waited years to see one of Townsville’s teams do this. Then next day to see this filtering down to the U16s and U18s Perfect. Go Fury

Says volumes of Edds experience even in such a short term capacity as the manager thus far.

There can be no greater accolade for a coaching team than to see players move seamlessly into and out of the senior team.With all the challenges that this group of local heroes has had to endure in their first year of the NPL they have produced a truly remarkable season that will be long remembered.A truly professional and dedicated effort. THANK YOU ALL.

I would also like to thank all the players and coaches in the Queensland NPL for a fantastic season of games.The coaches and players have shown true class,sportsmanship and ability to make this season a truly great spectator experience.Cant wait for the next season to start.
GO FURY

NORTHERN Fury attacker Newie Cobbo hopes he has put a depressing start to the National Premier League season behind him after a strong performance in yesterday's 4-2 loss to Brisbane City.

In just his second start of the season, Cobbo played a big hand in both of Fury's goals as the injury-hit home team pushed the league's second placed side all the way to the end.

The 17-year-old was injured in pre-season training causing him to miss four weeks and picked up a red card on his return to playing in the Townsville Premier League with the Fury under-18 team.

He had to serve his suspension in that league and given the long breaks for holidays and byes ended up missing another four weeks of the statewide league.

But after hitting an equaliser to Nathan Bird's opener for City and winning the ball which led to Michael Eisenhut's goal in the 54th minute, which brought the score back to 2-2 just minutes after the Fury had gone behind, Cobbo said he hoped he had done well enough to earn another start in the Fury line-up for next week's final game of the year.

"It was my second opportunity to be in the starting 11 and obviously coming off the bench I wanted to impress Gareth (Edds) and the rest of the players that I should be in the starting team," Cobbo said.

But the result didn't go the Fury's way, City striker Antonio Murray making it 3-2 with 21 minutes left on the clock before grabbing his second goal, and 25th of the season, as the Fury pushed forward in search of an equaliser in the 88th minute.

Cobbo wasn't the only young player to mark his arrival on the NPL stage, with fellow teenagers Angus Campbell and striker Tristan Russell earning the praise of coach Edds.

Russell, who played with the Fury's under-16 and under-18 team in the local competition earlier in the afternoon, nearly grabbed an equaliser with five minutes left on his Fury debut while David King just headed over from the resulting corner.

The youngsters got their chance given the absence of strikers Alex Read and Robin Edwards while Edds was a late substitute as he struggles with an ankle injury.

Despite the loss, Edds said he was proud of the team's fight and hunger in trying to chase a result when battling away from losing positions.

Remember this song "look what i can do with my feet"

Top 4 finish next season. Come on farken.

Oh this arvo I heard on ABC local radio that the club was fined $2,500 for some guys in F-Troop using flares.. Not the kind of money you want throwing down the dunny.

Were they red flares or smokies? I'm personally against red flares but will turn a blind eye to smokies.

Still yet to see anything from FQ in regards to this.

At this stage its Rabieh blowing smoke.
