Do you think this is still the case or is it different under the new Dutch influence?

No doubt.

His qualities are sometimes clearly understated.

Only if it suits his agenda.

Tassie were at least as good in beating SA - warming up to the task? The WA versus NNSW game was a cracker and NNSW really stepped up to the plate (unlucky to draw) against a very good WA team. SA was good value for its win and clearly took the points against a decent Canberra midfield - I'm quite surprised at SA's relatively low technical points ranking taking into account its strong team performances. NSW and VIC continue to grind out results - slightly more efficient in front of goal perhaps?

Very happy with the tournament play overall - certainly allowing players to showcase their talents. As Slee45 said, however, it would be nice to see more "combination football" with quick passing between the midfield and attackers going forward.

I don't think we should count results here, I mean FFS Decentric's mob beat SASI!!! :oops:

"On a daily basis 'bonus' points will be given to the teams that played most in line with the FFA’s National Curriculum (the ability to showcase technical content in their play and proper execution of the FFA’s playing style)."

then...

"The winner of the bonus points system will play against the winner of the regular group in the final this Friday."

I must ask what is the point of this?

From the horse's mouth ... seems results do matter after all, even to the Dutch.

Obviously with Queensland almost leading the bonus points table, Han Berger and his cohorts must be delighted with Lonton's work in recent years.

I think a certain poster owes poor old Mr.Lonton a whole-hearted and barnacle free apology for the years of unjust and venomous abuse he's been subject to.

If you place any value in honesty, manners, and respect you'll do the honourable thing!

Not really.

There is an emphasis on style being paramount.

Care to pontificate on what happened in the past?

Implicit in this comment is an assumption things were good in the old days.

What world renowned methodology was utilised in Australia i those old days?

If you say eclectic, what were we particularly good at?

Huh?

I'm saying what is the point of a match between the winners of the group and the winners of (shall we say) style?

Not a big issue but it doesn't make sense to me.

more like peter de roos excellent work paying off.

not sure it is too wise to take a strong stance when you are not actually there to see what is going on.:shock: :shock:

His words are quite clear.

Wicked imagination there, sigmund.

Umm krones ol buddy, the bits in quotes are not my words and as for the rest, I said it isn't a big issue.

Results would definitely matter to BergerKing (an Archie Fraser gem) if our U17's and U20's actually won something.

Edited by judy free: 9/12/2011 12:36:29 AM

Absolutely.

Archie would've been good value on TWGF.

Hans statements are clear made to satisfy the cravings of those in football who want instant gratification.He was clearly targeting the part of the football community that is always insisting that with out results the whole thing is a waist of time.

To all those who have the capacity to understand that results take time to achieve and that the process will take a further 5+ years to show its total success, his comments are a clear statement that the program is continuing.

Strange hans should adopt this method as he will never appease the failed coaches of the NSL days, like petulant children they continue to cry no matter what he says.

Thanks Spathi.
I think WA is second with 17 Points?

LOL, Berger will have slipped out the back door with a truck full of ripe Aussie mangoes by the time the clueless have detected a robbery.

so you have been saying for many years.
how well did we do before the ffa took over? in the now defunct NSL
SSG where introduced in 2007 that means that the first set of players are now 10yrs old
we will see the full result in 2015 when they are 13.
in 2000 Australia's FIFA world ranking was?
and now 22

Edited by krones3: 9/12/2011 03:39:28 PM

SSG's were intro'd in early 90's in the nations football capital, Sydney.

The first set of players have prolly since retired.

ssg were introduce nationally in 2008, sorry to telly you chips there are other places in Australia than the corrupt Sydney.](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)

Edited by krones3: 9/12/2011 03:54:56 PM

Probably left the game as they could see no future in the NSL.

True, but still represents the largest body of registered junior/yoof players in straya by some margin. It's where the action is, krones.

And looking at the tables in Canberra I can see that theres been no change in results (pecking order) over the past 20 odd years. That is, Syd still dominates.

SSG's is not a new concept for the bulk of strayan players who have gone onto bigger and better things.

wow do all the people in NSW know that that really only means sydney.
So much for state representation do the other cities in NSW feel that they are represented in the state.
It started a war once went something like (no taxation with out representation) another country but you never no could be onto something big here chips.[-x [-x [-x [-x

Queensland beats NSW in the final between the competiton ladder leader and the technical ladder leader 4-1.
In what was a dominating display Queensland outplayed the NSWIS team all over the park.

Overall I think NSWIS were very lucky to get to where they did as they were by no means the best team there. In my honest opinion Queensland and WA played the best football all week.

Thanks for railroading another topic Judy Free, much appreciated by no one, cheers.
