Kingborough Lions sign Gabriel Markaj from Adelaide United Youth Team / Vipers Football Club as NPL coach for 2017 season. Now their is three coaches under the age of 26 in the NPL coaching ranks which is very rare in the Tasmanian football scene. http://sliceofcheese.net/index.php/lions-unveil-gabriel-markaj-as-new-leader-of-the-pride/http://www.klufc.org.au/news/lions-appoint-gabriel-markaj-as-ps4-npl-tas-head-coachhttps://www.facebook.com/klufc/videos/1195847330463959/

I am not sure why P&R needs to be coupled with an expansion to 10 teams, but hopefully it means 27 rounds rather than 18.
IMO the proposed playoff model could be tweaked as I am not convinced that the team that loses the South Conference vs Northern Conference series deserves a 2nd chance at playing in the NPL.

This will be excellent although I do wonder what criteria is to be met to be promoted.

Out of all the teams below only Glenorchy Knights and Riverside Olympic have shown intent to join the NPL in 2019 so far. But criteria to enter will be interesting. I think promotion/relegation is a good thing but I can't see many teams able to make the step-up easily. Veto Southern Championship Beachside Glenorchy Knights Hobart United Metro FC Nelson New Town Eagles Southern FC Taroona FC University Veto Northern Championship Burnie United Devonport Strikers (Reserves) Launceston City (Reserves) Launceston United Northern Rangers (Reserves) Riverside Olympic Somerset Sharks Ulverstone Below were the criteria used for the inception of the state league in 2013. http://walterpless.com.au/2012/july/five-southern-and-three-northern-teams-announced-as-starters-in-victory-league.htmlThe five criteria that the applications were assessed against are as follows: Governance of the clubs, including the history of the clubs, how well it has been managed (and is presently) together with their future plans; Facilities offered by the clubs, with a focus on the current quality available or the assessment of claims of improved facilities by the commencement of 2013; Technical characteristics, including the ability of the clubs to meet the structure of teams, coaching capability and player pathways; Financial standing of the clubs and their future ability to meet the commitments of participation in the new competition; and The ability of the clubs to market themselves and the league in a positive manner to all stakeholders and their ability to raise financial support from sponsors/partners.

New direction for Strikers
 ARRIVAL: Newly appointed Devonport Strikers coach Chris Gallo visited the Coast this week and will return in January ahead of season 2017. Picture: Cordell Richardson. Chris Gallo has joined the Devonport Strikers with a wealth of experience from some of the best soccer programs in England. The newly appointed coach plans to build on the success the club achieved in 2016 but also move in a new direction and help focus on the youth on the North-West Coast. Gallo joined the Strikers from a one year stint as Technical Director with Manly United Football Club where he has also played seniors. His experience stretches back to his teenage years where he travelled to England before being picked up by Championship side, Hull City. The 26-year-old is from Sydney originally but spent time in England playing with Hull City before coaching roles came up with Notts County, York City and again with Hull. “When I was 16 I went over to England just to play some friendly games really and I got picked up there by Hull City,” Gallo said. “From there it escalated quickly really, I played one year pro there under Phil Brown. “I got injured shortly after that and didn’t renew my contract so I moved back to Sydney and played for Manly where I play under-18s to the first team. ”His coaching resume is also impressive at a young age having putting time into his coaching career from a young age. “I did my advanced coaching courses here, I did a C licence here and went off and wanted to expand myself. “I got in touch with contacts in England and did my B and A licence there. “My first job was at Notts County and then moved to York City and then back to Hull City. ”After returning to Sydney he spent a year with Manly United once again and said his ambition to coach at a higher level had led him to Devonport. “Most of my coaching has been with youth and I wanted to expand and stretch myself in terms of my development and that has led me here. “They have two astro turf pitches and a grass pitch so everything is there ready to go and I want to help them capitalise. “We need to be comparing ourselves to what the best NPL clubs are doing in Sydney and Melbourne, there’s a lot to be done but we need to be patient.” Gallo said he was aiming for success with the Strikers but also wanted to take the club in a new direction. “We should start blooding youth players into the competition but also aim to win games in the first team. Having met the team early this week, Gallo said he had been impressed with how humble the players were. “The guys have a massive work ethic, there’s a lot to work on if I’m honest but that’s a great thing. “There’s a massive thirst for knowledge there which is great.”

+xHere is something I've spent abit of time doing the last day or so whenever I get the chance. Based off last years kits and sponsors, can change if there is any changes this season. image upload with preview Wow this is amazing, great work. Close to perfect. Just a few things that I noticed but being very picky. The Clarence United kit is missing the black trimming on the neck. Also the NPL and club logo needs to be in line with black strip on chest. http://www-static2.spulsecdn.net/pics/00/35/90/01/35900173_1_O.jpgFor Devonport Strikers sponsor logo should be in the format below. Blue socks not yellow but i must admit the yellow looks better, no yellow trim on shorts and it would be awesome if you could add those six lines on the kit. http://sliceofcheese.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/zupo1.jpghttps://www.facebook.com/MyPathway/photos/a.248638451905258.37370.162828090486295/768407526595012/?type=1&theater
Honda will be the on the Hobart Zebras kit this coming season. Hopefully that all helps.

Cheers. I'll have a look what I can do when I get the chance. I'll hold off on the Hobart Zebras till i can see how they put it on the kit(unless you already have it? )
Any idea when the fixture is released or when the Lakoseljac Cup is drawn?

No I don't have the Hobart Zebras kit. The fixture for the NPL in past seasons has been released in the 3rd week of January. But new Competition Manager Glen McNeill will commence with FFT at the start of February 2017 so might be delayed until then. The Lakoseljac Cup (Westfield FFA Cup Qualifiers) is usually drawn in the 3rd week of February. Number of teams entered in pervious seasons. 2014 - 18 teams 2015 - 18 teams 2016 - 19 teams Hopefully some more teams will participate this time round. 22 teams should be a realistic target.

Basically just the Northern and Southern Regions I'm pretty sure. 10 clubs in the Southern Championship - not including NPL Reserves and 8 in the Northern Championship - including NPL Reserves then obviously you go through all your different divisions and age groups which is basically the same clubs regurgitated, might be a few different clubs pop up through the social/amatuer comps in the south but I know the North is basically the same 8 clubs feeding all grades/dvisions/age groups.

Yeah but what can you do? It is what it is may aswell make the most of it.
That's only for the senior comps there are more junior clubs about with no senior affiliates.

+xHow much does KGV hold? Is it the biggest rectangular stadium in tas? KGV Football Park holds 4,000. Yes it is the biggest rectangular stadium in Tasmania but it's very out dated and not much space available to updated/expand. http://walterpless.com.au/2012/august/melbourne-victory-produce-polished-display-to-down-tasmania.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09fOLP3enGY&feature=youtu.be

+xWhat was the strength of south hobarts squad? I see they are playing Port Melbourne tomorrow and assume this impacted today's squad? Yes I guess it has impacted the squad a little but a good experience for a predominantly young squad. I'm not sure what other players to come in are but Andy Brennan came off the bench but unsure if he will play for South for a full season.

+xWow! What was the strength of the 2 sides or are Launceston City in for a long year? South Hobart not full strength but match fit, they have already played have a dozen pre-season games. Launceston City well under strength, inexperienced and first pre-season game. I guess we'll get a full overview of teams after the NPL Summer Series.

FEBRUARY 24, 2017 FFT MEDIA ADMINThe first step on the road to the 2017 FFA Cup has been set with the first round of the 2017 Statewide Lakoseljac Cup officially drawn. The action will kick off on Monday 13 March with four games set to be played.As there are 20 teams who have entered the 2017 Lakoseljac Cup this season, 8 teams are required to play in the round of 32, with 12 teams given a bye to go straight through to the round of 16. The seeding for the byes was based off ladder position in the 2016 season, with the NPL sides and highest ranked Championship sides all given the bye.The winners in the round of 32 will then take their place in the round of 16 which is scheduled for Monday April 17.The first of the four games pits Northern Championship rivals Riverside against Ulverstone at Windsor Park, while the other Northern Championship side, Launceston United, will travel down south to take on Metro at North Chigwell.The other two games are all southern affairs as Taroona host Nelson at Kelvedon Park and Hobart Utd meet New Town at the Gunn Oval.The eventual winner of the Lakoseljac Cup will take Tasmania’s slot in the 2017 FFA Cup, where they will look to mirror Devonport’s success after they became the first Tasmanian team to win a round of the FFA Cup last year.
Lakoseljac Cup Round of 32
Riverside v Ulverstone, Windsor Park, 2:00PM
Metro v Launceston United, North Chigwell, 2:00PM
Taroona v Nelson, Kelvedon Park, 2:00PM
Hobart Utd v New Town, Gunn Oval, 2:00PM

Should really be called pre-qualifying or something I think. Doesn't round of 32 have 32 teams?

Decentric,
In terms of a future national second division, if it was to take the form of an expanded NPL, in your opinion which of the Tassie sides would be best equipped financially to compete?
We have seen some of them can compete in one off cup matches but would any of them be able to be sustainable over a whole season?
Would their ever be any chance of a combined effort from the NPL sides and/or FFT?

Surely the added exposure of being in a national second tier will negate any current financial situations that clubs in tas find themselves in. La liga on steroids.

In HAL 2 I think a Tassie team could be competitive over a whole season. The problem is if any existing big club in the south, such as South, Olympia or Zebras played HAL 2, other teams' supporters hate them and wouldn't attend games. If they did, they would support the visitors!

Yeahs it's good.
Glenorchy Knights(Croatia) are already planning for pro/rel with a squad rumoured to be stronger than atleast the bottom half of the table. They're cup match on Monday against Kingborough Lions will be good, they will be out to prove a point.

Worst game ever! iThe less people from the Australian manland see this game, the better. It was waste of a beautiful pitch, perfect football weather and many players schooled in possession football.

Yeah I'm not sure what the go is there. Seems abit odd. I watched the presser and did appear to me as if something has happened behind the scenes but old mate seemed to throw up anything to avoid answering it. Very odd decision.
I guess time will tell.
The new coach was the head coach of the FFT NDC and has his A licence and apparently done abit of previous work back in England. Other than that I don't know too much about him.
One thing I did find interesting was that the president said that the new appointment was made with one eye one the future with intentions to join the new NPL league.

He has deep pockets and is club president. The new coach, Kenny Weston, is probably a very good choice by Maracas. Similar coaching CV to Kenny Lowe from Glory.

+x>olympia lose first game >go seven rounds undefeated thereafter >go top >sack manager >it is reveled the manager was getting paid week to week; no contract >owner doesn't consult anyone about the decision >no clear reasoning >appoints manager with not NPL experience >gets given a contract unlike predecessor >players still uninformed Only in Tassie ROFL I asked him to provide football performance criteria for sacking a previous coach. At the beginning of one season there was an impressive presentation about a long term plan, etc, etc. It was jointly delivered by the NPL coach, Chris Hey, and Olympia president, George Mamacas. Then on a whim, Mamacas sacked Hey about 6 months later! Mamacas never publicly produced any football performance rationale for sacking Hey.

A lot has happened this year already.
Three coaches have changed in a few months!
Former Leeds United player Peter Savill, resigned from the Zebras job when they were second on the ladder.
Ian Shaw was sacked as Olympia coach when they were on top of the ladder.
Kingborough's Gabriel Markaj, only 21 years old, was sacked last night by the club committee after being suspended for abusing a referee on Saturday when his team played South Hobart. One of his imported players was sent off. Markaj went ballistic.

Saw the top of the table clash a few days ago between Zebras and Olympia. It was played at Olympia's synthetic pitch in Warrane.
It was the worst game I've seen in the NPL. It featured perpetual long ball dross! It was like watching Lower League English football in the 80s! Many of the Olympia players have been schooled in a possession type game. Coach Shaw wasted good players' strengths. Savill set the agenda with an awful style of football from Zebras.
It was a horrible game to watch. The ball was barely in open play for 30 seconds. It was a game of fouls, throw ins, corners and goal kicks.
It was a 1-1- draw.
Last weekend I caught up with South Hobart v Kingborough at the Lightwood Park/ Twin Ovals complex. The game was spoilt by a justifiable Borough send off in the first half. The style of football was far superior to the Olympia/Zebras game a few weeks ago. Teams often maintained sustained possession throughout the game, particularly South.
Kingborough has an excellent pitch that supposedly holds up well even in July and early August. South were just too good with the extra player, using width well and exploiting space in midfield due to numeral advantage.
South won 5-0, scoring nearly all their goals when they had an extra player.
Really enjoying live football again after watching a lot of Aussie and European football on TV!

Anyone interested In Tassie football, Walter Pless's football site is one of the best in Australian football.
Pless has a long, very impressive history as a player and coach.
This includes state league and the USA. He is is a football historian, holds a coaching A Licence, is a superb photographer, and has been a teacher and still is a football journo. Pless is an excellent wordsmith. His interviews demonstrate a profound understanding of the game.
Pless's many excellent action photos depict a story for the games he covers.
Other than Kate Cohen and Tim Palmer's insightful match analyses, and occasionally Cockerill's profound knowledge of the history of Aussie football, Pless is the number one football journo in Australia for mine.
Pless is one of the most respected figures in Tasmanian football history. He has friends all over the world through football - many of who are quite eminent.

@decentric
Do you think that is the reason Olympia replaced their coach? The fact that he wasn't using the players skill set to his advantage?
I've been watching abit of Launceston City this season and they appear to be trying to use a more attacking style than they have probably previously used. I think it's a big part of why they have struggled abit with a youngish side trying to learn that style and getting hurt on the rebound, they appear to be able to hold the big 4 sides even creating chances, just not able to finish themselves and then being done over when they do have lapses. Clarence two weeks ago looked to be a complete performance for them.
As opposed to their cup win over South which was very much a flood the defence and hoof the ball to safety style aand just so happened to catch south out on the rebound themselves towards the end.

+xalso writings been on the wall for markaj for awhile now hasn't it especially after his interview where he made some comments about having other options up his sleeve. Markaj was sacked last night. Mark Broadbent has been named interim coach for Kingborough. I have expected him to have more success than he has to date. I've learnt a lot from him and would've thought he knows a lot more than most of the opposition NPL coaches. I think Broadbent's tactical coaching may exceed his technical coaching. Then again Kurt Reynolds knew a lot more more again than Broadbent. I've also learnt a lot from Reynolds, but surprisingly he couldn't get Launceston City to lift. One City insider thought Reynolds' game plans were too sophisticated for the City cattle to follow. Most of the opposition coaches outside Morton, Weston, Broadbent and Reynolds, have only done the same as me - C and B Licence training. It may be the case that half the teams just haven't got the cattle. So whoever coaches it doesn't seem to make any difference. A season or two ago, Northern Rangers were one of the four top teams when they had the bearded Todd Hingston, plus an English import whose name escapes me and a few other decent players. They were one of three teams playing acceptable quality football. They've declined recently.

+x@decentricDo you think that is the reason Olympia replaced their coach? The fact that he wasn't using the players skill set to his advantage? Shaw lost the dressing room. He had the nucleus of a team who beat South Melbourne in the NPL Cup a season or two ago and has benched a number of them. They also played some decent football with patient build ups through midfield in that successful era.

I've seen Olympia and Zebras outplay South at times in the last couple of seasons. They haven't defended deep and counter attacked to beat them. They've played expansive football.

Besides that Gabriel guy there are certainly some oddballs in the mire that is Tasmanian Football.
Why only recently I was reading this fascinating blog about Tasmanian Football & the insane people that turned up in the comments section under pseudonyms was really something to behold. Coincidentally they seemed to have a very similar posting style as some people in this very thread.
Quite interesting I have to say.
This thread supporting Tasmanian Football is great to see, keep it up guys.

This thread supporting Tasmanian Football is great to see, keep it up guys. Gabriel Markaj provided some much needed colour and passion to local football.

The football blog exemplifies the convergence of linguistic structures reflecting the high literacy levels of that 50% you allude to. No doubt you needed a dictionary and thesaurus to decipher the topics of conversation. Thanks for your endorsement and support of Tasmanian football, Lollywood. I'm sure I speak on behalf of the Tasmanian football community, but we feel humbled by such an esteemed person as yourself supporting the local game. If you come down this way I'll buy you a strong flavoured craft beer - and more if you can handle it. I've made this offer before, but few take it up! Still some do. I'd like to see you with about five schooners of craft beer inside you with alcohol content of 7 - 12%. I think you'd be quite funny!

I will say though that after viewing a youtube video of a recent Tasmanian "top" level state league side a Tasmanian Z League team should definitely be admitted due to it's potential comedic slapstick value for the rest of world football.

I'm sure that any of the highly qualified FFA staff coaches and stakeholders within the local NPL football milieu would look forward to the advice of a paragon of football omniscience like your good self, on where and how Tasmanian football could improve, Lollywood. A few local NPL teams have beaten some supposed NPL mainland monoliths of Australian football in recent times. They've reached two nationwide NPL Cup finals. The next step, would be to win them. Your profound insights could tip the balance for a national title being awarded to a Tasmanian club! I believe there are people involved in Tasmanian football reading this who could set up a public forum at Football Fed Tas. Here you could address FFT's CEO, TD and staff coaches, as well as the NPL club presidents, TDs and NPL coaches at FFT HQs, with sage advice on how to improve Tasmanian football, Lollywood.

I was talking to your parole officer the other day, Lollywood. In the interests of your rehabilitation and transition to life outside the jail system, he thought an altruistic gesture would be to try and assimilate you into the community with people of good standing. The first objective is for you to last two hours without exposing yourself to members of the public. In the interests of developing a better society and to successfully transition degenerates into the wider community, the offer of a drink still stands, Lollywood.

I wasn't sure where to post this and fear it wont get seen back here in the Tassie thread but this appeared in my Facebook news feed this morning shared by Laucneston City FC.
Fascinating little insight to the newly departed Zebras coach Peter Savill. There are more photos in the comments section of the post. Its awesome to see people from his childhood and playing days in England commenting on the post.
https://www.facebook.com/humansoflaunceston/posts/371098383291657
Humans of Launceston added 2 new photos.~Peter (Sav) "When I first arrived here in 1980, I instantly fell in love with Launceston. It was very clean and quiet and a bit backward and I really liked that. The population was less than some of the crowds I'd played in front of, and that appealed to me also. I was initially boarding with a bloke from the soccer club, Ross Wesson and his wife and not long after I arrived, he said to me 'Come on Pete, let’s go to the pub and have a few beers'. That sounded like a good plan. He just walked out of his house, didn’t lock the door, once we arrived at the pub, he left his keys in his car, and in the pub he just left his money sitting on the bar!! I couldn’t believe it. In England, if you did that it’d be gone quicker than you know. You couldn’t even leave your washing on the line in Northern England as some bastard would nick it. Hence to say, I settled in to the relaxed and easy going laid back style of Launceston life very quickly". "I was born in Bacup, a small cotton industry town in Northern England, about 15 mile from Manchester. My mum had three kids and been divorced before she was 21. Back then, divorce wasn’t the normal you know, it was very much looked down upon, so she struggled on her own with three young ones. My dad just up and left after the birth of my younger sister. No idea why. He just pissed off and that was it. Never saw him ever again. My sister Pauline was in and out of hospital most of her life. She suffered from asthma something terrible. She ended up dying at 15 from an asthma attack. It wasn’t anywhere near as treatable as it is now of course. It devastated my mum at the time. Growing up, we had no money, but it didn’t worry us none. We had my grandparents with us, living in a two up-two down house with no bathroom and a toilet down the laneway. People say that life must have been tough but it wasn’t. I had a great childhood. We had the cricket field and football oval next door to our estate. We had it all on our doorstep and life was a lot of fun. Football was our life. As we got older, my brother John ended up buggering off to a kibbutz in Israel. A kibbutz is basically a drug den. We had a period there where we drifted apart and he ended up moving to Australia and now lives in Queensland. We aren’t very close. Some families are. Some aren’t. But that’s life. I played football all the way through school and I suppose you could say I showed a bit of form, so, at 13 years of age, I got selected for the representative teams for the region and eventually for the England national team at underage level.
(See photo in top of comments) We got to play at Wembley Stadium twice, in front of 60,000 people and in the next 12 months, I played in 7 international matches, including going to Holland and Australia. There were usually scouts around the matches and I must have impressed the right people because one day, after we returned from our trip to Australia, this big, fancy car pulled up at my house. Which was a big deal as no one in our street even had a car. In later years, I was the first person in my family to not only buy a car, but to ever drive. So anyway, out of this big fancy car climbs Don Revie, who was Leeds United manager at the time. He wanted to sign me up to come and play and asked my mother if she could sign the papers, which of course she did. When he come into our place, he saw we had no carpet, just newspaper and cardboard on the floor, so he organised my mums house to be fully carpeted. He had a colleague who owned a carpet manufacturers so he took care of it. He didn’t have to do that, so it was a such a nice gesture. My mum was stoked. So there I was, at 14 years of age, leaving school and off to play for Leeds United. It was a pretty big deal I suppose, but it’s only now that I’m older, that I realize how big of a deal it was. My mum then got an official letter from the club asking about my leaving school and other particulars. I lived with a family in Leeds and they were paid by the football club to have me there as a boarder. So, here I was, just a teenager straight out of school and I was a full time professional footballer, playing in the Central League for Leeds United. It was pretty surreal but it was also a job. They were pretty tough on us young blokes. It was an apprenticeship of sorts. No drinking, train hard constantly, no misbehaving. We'd clean boots, sweep floors you name it. It was a tough but rewarding industry to be in. Leeds United at the time were the Manchester United of today. They were winning everything. The F.A Cup. The European Cup Final. They were one of the best and richest football clubs in the world. I was paid 90 pound a week plus 10 quid extra if we won the weekly game. To get some comparison, a full time miner who worked a 44 hour week, was earning about 50 pounds a week. So I was doing alright for a young bloke you know? The top pros were on about 300 quid a week. I was playing alongside some great names. Billy Bremner, Johnny Giles, Norman Hunter, Tony Currie and Paul Madely. Huge names back in the day. These guys really were amongst the best footballers in the world and are integral parts of the folklore of English football. People like them, and Don Revie of course, when they'd walk into the room, they had an aura, a magnetism about them. It really was a fantastic environment for a young bloke to be in. I loved it really.
(See team photos with Peter in top of comments) One day, we were playing a midweek match against Manchester United and we were great rivals. We hated them actually. It was a particularly bruising affair with plenty of vicious tackles. Our captain said to us before the match “If anyone gets sent off, I will personally punch you in the nose”. After I got sent off (laughs) I was having a shower before the match had even finished, and I heard a door slam and I thought hello I'm about to cop a punch in the shnozz here. It was my captain. He’d been sent off too. Talk about laugh. Now I'm older and my kids are grown, I think about it a lot more. At the time, I wasn't really that overwhelmed by it all because I was part of the inner sanctum of this renowned football world. But now, I recall it as being quite an exciting time in my life. I never really kept any photos from my time there. Once I moved to Australia, my grandfather sent me over a heap of newspaper clippings and some photos, and that’s all I have today. I was playing in the Central League and the next few years were quite successful for me. Then in '74 I think it was, Don Revie ended up leaving Leeds to manage the England national team. During my era there, Brian Clough came to be manager. He was a very intimidating manager and his tenure was so brief and legendary, they made a movie about it a few years ago called “The Damned United” which I absolutely loved watching. It brought back so many memories for me. He said to the players 'Take your medals down! You've won nothing'. The players hated him. Clough only lasted only 44 days. Then Jimmy Armfield came on board, till ’78.
He was replaced by Jock Stein, the best Scottish manager in history after having a great career with Celtic. Remarkably, he too, only lasted 44 days. The business of football is a harsh world that’s for sure. The top ten players back then were chain smokers. Times have changed now. We played a European Cup Semi- Final first leg against Barcelona, which we won, and in the rooms, my memories are not of the game, not of the massive crowd, it was of the champion Dutchman and Barcelona striker Johan Cruyff, chain smoking before the match. This guy was the best in the world, second only to Pele', winning the Ballon D’Or three years in a row and he smoked like a chimney. Hard to imagine really. We went onto to be beaten by Bayern Munich in the European Cup Final. Jimmy Adamson replaced Jock Stein as manager at Leeds and he sacked me when I was 20 years old. That’s life. I have to be honest, I was never good enough to play in the first division. That’s not to say it didn’t devastate me to be sacked from a club I had devoted so much time and energy towards, but what do you do? You move on. So that’s what I did. After I'd left Leeds, I had received offers from Australian clubs to go and play in Western Australia and Queensland. I was reading a magazine called World Soccer Weekly and I saw an advertisement for a club in Tasmania looking for players. That club was called Launceston Juventus. I answered the ad and made my plans to leave England. It was 1980 when I flew into Tasmania to start a new life. After my first season with Launceston Juventus, I was offered a contract to go and play for Wimbledon, back in England. Leeds were now in the first division and Wimbledon were in the fourth division. So I went back but when I got back to the U.K, I just felt like it wasn’t right. I had had my time in football, I wasn’t good enough to make it to the top, and it was time for me to settle down, get a job and allow football to become a second priority in my life. So I promptly came back to Tassie and I stayed here. I have never returned to England, but I would like to go back soon to see my mother before she dies. My mum remarried and I have never met her husband either. So I would love to get back there soon. When I moved here, soccer was not a popular sport. VFL was the main sport. Soccer was a fledgling sport. People called it wogball you know? The president of Launceston Juventus Soccer Club was a great man named Peter Mies. I don’t mind admitting I was a broken down footballer when I came to Australia. I had no trade or skills other than football and Peter Mies took me under his wing and I will never forget the kindness and respect he showed me. I got a job working for him as a painter and decorator, which is the job I’ve done for the last 37 years. When he retired, I took over his business, and it's been a successful profession for me and I’m now only a few years from retiring myself. The soccer scene in Tasmania is all the more richer for having wonderful people like Peter Mies in it. He is a legend of the game here in Tasmania and I'll always appreciate what he has done for not only me but soccer in Tasmania. Launceston Juventus ended up becoming Launceston City and I played for them up until the age of 40.
I ended up coaching after I retired from playing. I coached Launceston City, Northern Rangers, Devonport Strikers, South Hobart and finally Hobart Zebras. I have just retired from there halfway through the season. I just didn’t have anything left. I just lost my passion and desire to do it. I remember hearing Leigh Matthews say that after he won three straight flags with Brisbane, he just lost his passion for it, and I really related to it. You have to live football 24/7 and it just got too much for me. My greatest football memories are from here in Tasmania, not England. I have met some brilliant people through football here in Tassie and I have had a lot of success here as a player and a coach. I am proud to say that I am the only person to coach a Tasmanian team into the FFA Cup, which I did with Devonport Strikers last year.
(See photo in top of comments)
Having the Best & Fairest award named after me at Launceston City is such a great honour for me also. Such a great club and to honour me in that way is just terrific. Soccer has become hugely popular here in the last ten or fifteen years and it's just going to get bigger. Football has played a huge role in my life and although I got a lot out of it on a personal and professional level, I feel that I've also given back to the game, especially here in my adopted home of Tassie. I have two amazing kids and a wonderful wife and moving down here was one of my best moves". #humansoflaunceston

Interesting semi-final cup results.
One NPL team, Glenorchy Knights from the Southern League, beat NPL team Launceston City 6 - 0!
City missed two really good chances in the first 7 minutes and were then outplayed! City knocked South Hobart out of the cup a few games ago.
In the other semi, which I attended yesterday, Hobart Olympia beat Zebras 2- 0, courtesy of 2 late Olympia goals.
Under Kenny Weston' s tutelage, Olympia played some decent possession football and controlled the game in terms of possession and territory. Zebras had 3 excellent chances within about a 10 minute period when the game was still a deadlock half way through the second half.
Inside news is that Weston was very concerned about the poor fitness levels of Olympia when he arrived at the club a few weeks ago.
Surprisingly former FFV Technical Director David Smith, is still coaching Zebras. Most Tassie NPL coaches earn about $7 000 a season. They were less direct than under Peter Savill, but relied too much on direct play, counter attacks and a general reactive game.

Last night lowly Kingborough beat Hobart Zebras 1-0. Zebras were hoping to be one point off the top position on the ladder by winning last night's match. Wasn't at the game, but apparently the win was against the run of play with Zebras having the ascendancy for most of the match .
Tommy Fotak took over the head coaching role at Zebras from recently departed FFV TD, David Smith, this week.
Mark Broadbent took over the head coaching role from Gabriel Markaj at Kingborough in the last week too. In terms of knowledge Broadbent has to be one of the best coaches in the league, but has never had sufficient quality cattle in his previous tenures with Knights and Borough.

Yesterday watched South Hobart beat Olympia 6-2 on a decent pitch at Darcy St.
There was decent possession football played by both sides.
South were sharper in attack.They squeezed better and pressed higher up the pitch, forcing Olympia into making hurried decisions.
Olympia's Hill and Undy played their best games for the club. Hamlett and Thomas had their best games for South.
South also had luck.
The crowds are increasing in size. I was late and couldn't get a seat in the main stand as it was full. Ditto last week at FFT HQ, KGV

I've had a slightly quieter social weekend than usual, so I've been able to catch up with more NPL football. Just watched two of the lower teams on the table, Clarence at home against Northern Rangers.
The standard was quite good. Usually I'm looking at everything that could be improved, but a few pleasing features were:
* Rangers played some slick football in possession. They used their right flank effectively when they gained possession of the ball in central midfield. In the Attacking Transitions they played some nice one and two touch football. The first goal they converted, with Riley Darrant scoring a looping header, was a result of some decent Proactive football from the back of the pitch to the front.
* Clarence were more effective in Ball Possession Opposition in disturbing Rangers' build ups. They also won more of the 1v1 physical rules. They outmuscled Rangers.
* Clarence's number 8, a Pom called George Hallard, used a beautiful La Croqueta to split the defence open one occasion. Other than that his best feature was a huge booming voice with gratuitous advice for the ref and his more talented team-mates!
* I was pretty impressed by Rangers' number Harry Thannhauser's one touch passing and decision-making in midfield. He started many build ups.
* Both teams, particularly Rangers, featured a lot more outside of the foot receiving, and dribbling, than in most Tasmanian NPL games. Players were far more able to turn their markers as they received, and, beat players with shoulder feints when they ran at defenders.
Rangers won 3-2.
Both teams' first goals were spectacular - Rangers' from effective build up play and a headed goal. Clarence's with a long range strike from well outside the box.
I think Darren Cook, awarded amateur coach of the year in Oz a few years ago, is Ranger' assistant coach. He is an excellent youth coach and a terrific exponent of coaching passing football.
One nice gesture was rugged Clarence CB Paul Stevens, playing alongside the equally rugged CB Matt Lewis, flattened Jin Seog Yong with a bone jarring tackle. The thud could be heard from one end of the pitch to the other. He got little ball and a lot of Jin! Stevens immediately apologised, picked him up off the turf, shook his hand and was genuinely concerned about Jin's well being. He escaped any card, but conceded the foul.
The new FFA coaching methodology has really benefited Tasmanian football. There is a lot more possession based football on show. A few years ago nepfre the NPL state league it was mainly kick and rush hoofball.

This week's round saw:
Olympia 3, Kingborough 2.
Clarence 0, South Hobart 6.
Northern Rangers 2, Launceston City 1.
Zebras 0, Devonport Strikers 1.
Kingborough has just played two of the southern 3 powerhouses away from home in the last three weeks, beating one, Zebras, and losing by the solitary goal to the other, Olympia. Borough coach, Mark Broadbent, is a very good coach who has never previously had the cattle.
The animosity between the five southern NPL clubs is much fiercer than between HAL fans on here. Given how so many players and coaches change from one club to another regularly from season to season, I'm surprised how one eyed and hostile the hard core supporters are when they post on Walter Pless's blog.
Pless hosts in excess of 1500 individual posters per day ATM. At one stage it had 3 000 visitors per day a few seasons ago.

Surprisingly, Eduardo Castenada, has left the National COE and is now on the bench for South Hobart's senior NPL team.
Many of us watched him play for the Joeys.

Only 24 years old too! could go well if given the opportunities. Craig Carley left the avengers to come back to the Suns, and geeze we really needed him back!!

This last week I've seen the highest standard game I've seen in Tasmania from both teams.
Devonport beat Olympia 2-1 at Warrior Park.
It featured some good football from both teams.
Chris Gallo is coaching Devonport to play some good football. Ditto Kenny Weston with Olympia.

+x Round 15 schedule: Saturday 2.00pm Kingborough Lions v Hobart Zebras Attended this game yesterday. Borough were leading 1-0 until the conceded a penalty in the 92nd minute. It was a most enjoyable game to watch. Borough only have one remaining import since Gabriel Markaj's sacking. Mark Broadbent has them playing much better as a team unit. What Borough fans told me at the game was that he relinquished the the NPL job this season to concentrate on the Borough academy. I think Broadbent has written a uniform club philosophy that is permeating all ranks of the club. There are a lot of young players at Borough. They seem to have a much bigger quota of locally developed players in their squad. If Broadbent stays with them for a few more seasons, he has been appointed for two more, if Borough can find someone to do the development as well as Broadbent, they could be a force in another year or so. I've trained with most of the NPL coaches. Broadbent is unequivocally one of the most knowledgeable Tassie NPL coaches from working with Dean May and Kenny Weston, former NTC coaches, for years. Zebras played some slick football at times. Jayden Hay was outstanding at RB for them.

Launceston City have had a good last month since getting beat 8-1 by Olynpia. a draw against Devonport and 3 wins against the sides around them. They come up against the big boys for the final 3 weeks, so will be looking to steal a couple points off them, to sure up 6th spot. Bodes well for next year aswell with majority of players still early twenties and younger.
Biggest change that I have seen with them is quick clean touches in the middle with some strong long through balls really utilising their runners on the outsides as well as young Mies up top start to find his feet and use his size one on one. It definitely helped having Brookfield playing for abit of experience around the younger boys.
It was amusing hearing Rangers fans a couple of weeks ago trying to put City down for having won less games when now 2 weeks later they are on the same amount of wins, still 3 weeks to go I know and a big 3 weeks for City with Zebras, Olympia and South to finish off the year. Whilst Rangers have Olympia, Lions and Zebras. Lions are also a chance of catching City with Clarence, Rangers and Devonport to round out their season.

Interesting to see this now. *Zebras Tommy Fotek replaces Peter Savill * Borough Gabriel Markaj replaced by Mark Broadbent, the club TD, who initially declined the job. *Olympia Ian Shaw replaced by Kenny Weston. IMO all coaching replacements have improved the style of football and performance.

4 on the trot for City and unbeaten in 5.
1-0 win over Zebras, aswell as Kingborough losing to Clarence, assures them of a top 6 finish and also puts them above Rangers with Rangers to play Olympia tomorrow.

One game to go and Devonport Strikers are 3 points in front of South Hobart with a better goal average.
On the weekend I saw South beat Launceston City 2-0. City are now 3rd on the ladder.
I also watched Kingborough defeat Clarence United 2-0.

A victory in either match should see Devonport win the title given a 16 goal lead in goal difference.

The state league is mooted to increase from 8 to 10 teams next year.
I think it will dilute the talent too much.

I'm not too sure about the quality of the local 'second tier' comp in Tassie atm. Do they have a Tasmanian equivalent of say an Altona Magic with lots of money or will they be more along the same of Clarence and Kingsborough?

Glenorchy Knights were replaced by Clarence a few years ago after a terrible 2015 NPL season. They have won the Southern Championship 3 years in a row and done well in FFA Cup and other competitions where they have taken on NPL sides. I have no idea how they will go in NPL next season (if it remains in place) or how their squad payments compare to NPL clubs. Riverside in the Northern Championship are a former State League Club from the 90's who appear to be likely to just edge out Devonport's reserves this year. If they do go up I would expect them to struggle. There are rumours that Clarence may be kicked out of the NPL due to poor performance. Personally I would stick to an 8 team NPL with yearly P/R playoffs of the lowest NPL Tas team and the winners of a 2 legged Northern Championship vs Southern Championship "State Final" rather than have automatic relegation. I would also be pushing for more matches in the Championship comps as the Southern comp only has 16 games in a 9 team comp.

Unless it was a better than usual performance she nI saw them a few weeks ago, I'm surprised Kingborough are so far down the table. Clarence have three outstanding young prospects in Hatcher, Snell and Smith, but there may be a few players who aren't quite good enough for NPL. I think the Tas NPL has improved and there is more depth.

Zebras won 6-3 after Clarence led 3-2 at half time.
