FFA Coaching Conference: NPL clubs should pay all...

2013/11/11

The recent Coaching Conference in Canberra asked local National Premier League Clubs to refrain from paying players - and pay your coaches instead.Coaches are undertaking expensive courses and give many hours of their time so kids and adults can play in the NPL. But how many Coaches are being paid, at your Canberra club? Already clubs around town are trying to poach players by offering payments or higher payments than their current club. Some have offered to double what a player is getting at

When Simon Hill, from Fox Sports, launched the Nearpost Radio at 2XX most Canberrans knew that the Canberra community needed a football show. For many reasons. But it has been great to see a new breed of wannabee football journos taking their first steps on the Nearpost and going onto bigger and better things. I gained employment albeit briefly at the Canberra Times, covering the Socceroos Asian Cup adventure in Thailand in 2007. Russ Gibbs used the airwaves to great advantage and to give him a

Australian football fans have long known our 2006 generation have been on the wane since, well, Italy defeated us 1-0 in the 2006 World Cup. But somehow they managed to get us through to the 2010 World Cup under Pim Verbeek and we got found out with an absolute pasting against Germany. Then our new coach Holger provided us some hope with a much improved and more mobile 2011 Asian Cup, only to see us lose narrowly to Japan. And again our remaining players from 2006 managed somehow with a little

Australia football must regenerate on Wednesday....

If Australia beat Iraq we qualify directly for Brazil 2014, but win or lose Wednesday is time to rebuild. Should Australia fail to win they may go to the third qualifying play-off route - but lets leave that aside for now. Sasaa Ognenovski, Lucas Neill, Timmy Cahill, Luke Wilkshire, Mark Bresciano, Mark Schwarzer, Archie Thompson, and Harry Kewell - he'll want back in - are all ageing...fast, very fast. Gus Hiddink reduced the super fit Brett Emerton to wipeout in his pre-World Cup training

Hey Sydneysiders: Who do you sing for? Let me help.

All Sydneysiders should have their team by now. But of course you wouldn't be Sydneysiders if you all did. Are you Red or Blue? Now that wasn't hard was it? Do you like bumblebees of the red and black kind or bluebottles; these one's don't sting...at least not often. If you're from Sydney and you have played football, watched football, enjoyed football or simply love sport. Or if you are just from Sydney. It's time. Who do you sing for?...and you can't change...ever! Western Sydney

Western Sydney Wanderers will take the field against Sydney FC in a front of a sold out crowd on the weekend. And every football fan around Australia should take a peak. If you want technique look no further than Alessandro Del Piero or the young Aussie Terry Antonis or check out former Feyenoord star Shinji Ono or Aussie Aaron Mooy if they take the park. If you want tactics: Watch Tony Popovics' men perform and wonder no more why the Western Sydney Wanderers have managed to carve out a five

2013 A-League flying debut winger...the winner is

2013/03/20

I love watching Ange throw in the youth down in Melbourne. Particularly his wide boys. We saw Andrew Nabbout burst onto the scene this year. Introduced in Brisbane he did a couple of things of note in a 5-0 humiliation before producing a stunning two goal performance against Sydney FC. If he could stunned Sydney over 20 minutes surely he could do more over 90. Meanwhile Theo Markelis has seen his rise decline rapidly as Nabbout took the right flank, and then the central position as Ange hunted

A-League Allstars - give the Aussies a go!

Thomas Broich So why not give as much experience to young Aussies as possible, throwing in two of the best overseas stars. Manchester United will attract 80,000 plus fans and rather than giving Shinji Ono, Emile Heskey or even the delightful Kiwi import Marco Rojas the chance to show their stuff...let's give as

2013/03/07

The talk is that Sydney FC has spent more than $7 million this year on their playing budget. Is it possible for a team to spend so much in the A-League and to return so little. And are there any signs the playing group are heading in the right direction, this year or more worryingly next? Frank Farina the latest Coach, has made major changes to the playing group already, but who can see any structure to a team wallowing outside the six, heading, surely, for a third straight loss against the Mighty

2013/02/26

The new NPL and excitement around the FFA Cup, or proposed cup has got Les Murray and his mates excited about embracing old soccer. And of course down the track everyone is thinking relegation and promotion. The question remains, given the "passion" of our crowds and ability to attract a couple of head the ball "supporters" would old soccer really be embraced. I mean really? Old soccer - riots, flag waving and burning, pitch battles between supporters and general disgraceful behaviour surrounding

Football Fans: Australia Day was never like this.

2013/01/22

A long long time as a new immigrant I'd wander along to the Australia Day events, watch with bemusement at cars carrying their Australian flag, complete with Union Jack, and wonder at the sentiments being thrown from the passing windscreens of cars. Wait for the fireworks - is there any other way to celebrate in Australia other than fireworks - and then we'd all resume normal service, until ANZAC Day when we do it all again. Most sports fans watched cricket on Australia Day (or maybe Tennis), as

Tom Rogic - path to Celtic Park?

Canberra's Tom Rogic has signed a four and a half year deal with Scottish Champions Celtic. And while many have seen Tom in one of his 28 professional games to date few will know that the former ANU and Belconnen United Premier League player struggled to find a pathway from his talented potential in Canberra local teams to full-time professional. Canberra football in the past has struggled to help our late developers. If they didn't get into the 20 man AIS national program, at 17, they were
