I want white city to get through and challange NCIP.

You're not a fan of the NCIP, Selecticus?

Not at all, Sackious for I believe it hints of hypocrisy and racism if a team known as hakoah sporting a star of david can exist but a team known as Melbourne Knights cant be sponsored by a Croatian Social Club. It's embarrassing in this day and age.

Would it be different if Hakoah were also told that they needed to drop that to conform to the NCIP?

Here's the point of view from a "White Australian", whose background is from the British Isles.

I completely agree that Hakoah breaks the rules on that one. Only Lowy's club could get away with something so blatant. No doubt about it.

But for me, both sides are wrong over the Knights' FFA Cup issue. The Knights should've known that they were pushing it, trying to find a loophole to clearly have marked on the middle of their shirts "Melbourne Croatia Soccer Club". It's blatantly disregarding the rules that the FFA created. No matter how harmless they saw it and how much of a legitimate business the Croatian Social Club is, they knew that with a name like that, it would always be failing to conform to the NCIP. Their cause certainly wasn't helped by those against the NCIP asking dumb hypothetical questions along the lines of "Should a club being sponsored by "Arnott's Scotch Finger Biscuits" or "Belgian Waffle Cafe" be allowed to play?"

One thing that actually really surprised me however, was that the sponsor of "Newcastle Macedonia Sports Club" on the back of Broadmeadow Magic's shirt was allowed. The FFA dropped the ball on that one, allowing pre-existing sponsors to continue their sponsorship like that.

Nothing stops me from create a business called "Frozen Utilities, Cleaned Knowledgeably Through Heat, Extremely Flammable Flooding Appliances", which will run by our acronym of "F.U.C.K.T.H.E.F.F.A.". As long as we sponsor a club prior to the FFA Cup Round of 32, we'd be allowed to have that on our shirts. It's ridiculous.

The way I see it, Melbourne Knights could've easily made more of an impact by posting the complete hypocrisy of the rules to places such as Social Media and directly challenging Lowy why a word like Hakoah (meaning "The Strength" in Hebrew) is allowed in a club name? Instead they immediately played the "human rights" card and immediately took it to the highest power, rather than hitting up the media, which is far more likely to make Lowy look like a fool and also having more direct impact and likelihood of having the NCIP changed.

I can see why the NCIP was created and I agree with it to a certain extent., but the rules for it definitely need to be re-written to show that what rules cover clubs like Melbourne Knights have to cover all, including Hakoah.

One last extremely controversial note to leave on.

Does Borroloola FC's club logo's top half pass the NCIP? - http://www-static.spulsecdn.net/pics/00/03/47/96/3479605_1_S.jpg

'Mon Balmain. If they make it through, going to be stoked. I'm stoked as it is for them that they've made it this far. Normally they bomb out pretty early in the Waratah Cup, and last year they got fucked over by Granville. If they make it, they need to hold the game/s at Leichhardt Oval.


This is going to be an interesting clash. Rockdale are on a slight resurgence of sorts after they sacked Branko Culina a couple week ago (and replaced him with Paul Fucking Reid:lol: ) Wouldn't mind seeing either in the cup, but I think I want Sutherland to make it. Would love to hit up a game down in Sutherland again.


How come this one isn't at Belmore? Are the doggies training the next morning and are worried that the football is going to ruin their perfectly pristine ground. Have noticed Lambert Park seems to be Olympics 2nd home when Belmore isn't available - at least in terms of cup games. They played Bentleigh in last years FFA cup there.

I'll probably go along to this. It's a short detour on the way home from uni.


Phwoar! What a couple of matchups. :P

Dream clash r32 Balmain away to Fury

I'd travel up to Townsville to support them for that. Take my Tigers jersey. :lol: Or my former Balmain juniors shirt. :lol:

Couple of games on for tonight.

Yep, one of which will result in a club qualifying for the Round of 32 (Western NSW Mariners vs Balmain Tigers FC).

There is also the Gold Coast zone final between Broadbeach and NPL side Palm Beach, as well as White Eagles FC vs Weston-Molonglo FC in South Australia.

Mon Bathurst

Live score updates will be available for the NSW game on futbol24.

White Eagles-Weston Molongo is the ACT match. :P

SA tonight has Sturt Lions and Port Adelaide.

Woops :oops:

Right you are.

Balmain Tigers are 1-0 up against Western NSW Mariners. Currently 29 minutes in

Western NSW Mariners: 0
Balmain Tigers: 2

'31st minute.

Is regional NSW in trouble?

Youre gonna have to change the sheets on your top bunk cause Heiny may come visit you in Melbourne if the draw is kind.

Inner West football in Sydney is on the rise. ;)

Half Time:

WNSW Mariners: 0
Balmain FC: 2

45 minutes until Balmain is in the FFA Cup. C'mon Boys! Bring it home!

Broadbeach beating Palm Beach 1-0 after 49' :shock:

The Palmy Army will be loving that.

Can anyone recall the chant of "Fuck off, Palmer" during the Palm Beach - Central Coast Mariners FFA Cup match last year? Hahaha. You could hear it loud as hell on the Foxtel coverage. At the end of the chant, the noise died down and the silence was broken by "Clive Palmer's a fat c*nt!"

3 zip in the 59th. Looks clear.

'60

Western NSW Mariners: 0
Balmain FC: 4

You cant say they were wrong ;)

Broady have 2!

And no. He is a rather large fellow, huh?

Futbol24 have reverted it back to 3-0. Perhaps the goal was disallowed for offside.

Gif remains relevant.

Broadbeach 2-1 Palm Beach 73'
