Mainland Premier League

I always state the facts.  A player told her team (and I heard from the team) that Tech has offered her money to go play for them.  First time I have heard of it being done in the Women's game.

Facty enough? 

Sigh.

Women's first teams pushing for similar deal to men's first teams.

I have also heard that if players signed (women's) on for a certain club then a good word would be put in for contacts they had for national side at various aged groups, so is this in the same class Vim.

Stay on topic AW82. Money to play at tech women.

Well I don't bloody recieve any money. Some great shit you lot talk on here 

Maybe you need a better agent :-)  Bring it up on training on Tuesday.

Danny boys. Yeah right. No money. Yeah right.

If another Sunday League team wants to pay the $30 subs for a player I think it is in a slightly different scale to what is being discussed here sorry...

This is getting off topic, was only a joke. But yes Sunday pays levies to Mainland, on the threat of them losing access to grounds!

Players shouldn't be paid full stop in Mainland Affiliated Leagues..... Although most 1st teams get free or discounted subs do they not? But how is this paid? Through other teams in the club or through sponsorship?

Facts would include the name of the player for a start.

I see Halswell are playing their first home game at Lincoln. The APFA site? Interesting.

Player doesn't need to named?? And take vim for his word?? Yet you have a current Tech player and a past Tech player on here saying players are not paid to play and you won't take our words?! 

Same old rumour mill clutching at straws. Change the record.

If Vim heard that it is still hearsay. Gossip from some of his girls!!

Draws due on the site today for other grades according to this email from Colin Grant...

-------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all Junior, Men and Women delegates…

To give you a heads up regarding the timeframe as to when draws will be finalised.

The process below.

1.  Entries sought Feb onwards

2.  (6th March) closing date for entries received (have extended till 10th March)

3.  (10th March) Mainland Football collate all entries, any clubs not entered are informed and given a deadline

4.  (11th/ 12th March) chase up stragglers

5.  (13th/14th March) compile list of teams within leagues, check against final placings in 2013 season

6.  (14th March) list of teams within their grade sent back out to clubs to check all teams are there, correct spelling etc

7.  (17th- 21st March) Leagues are compiled based on 2013 season standings, information received and requests

8.  (21st March) Draws sent out to clubs and published to the web.

9.  (24th March) Refine, refine, refine

10.  (26th March) All leagues confirmed

At point 8, clubs can allocate players into teams, even if that team is moved to another league the players will also move with it.

Seniors have been created just in the process of finalising, hopefully next Monday 17th March seniors will be on the web

--------------------------------------------------------

The player concerned (who I don't really want to name as I am spreading her news without her consent) told the team on the weekend she had been offered monetary compensation from Tech to transfer to them. She is a top player, however is staying put.  

Yes you can choose to take my word for it or say it's false.  Doesn't really worry me however I know it is fact as she told the whole team and has no reason to make it up.  In my defense, we have already had on this forum the chair of Tech on here saying it's fine to pay players, it's good for the game.

I'm simply saying I believe it isn't, and this has now spread to Women's football and it's dishonest to continue to say it's not happening in the Men's game as well. 

Dishonest- 2.54pm post , I thought school was out at 3pm. Our taxes now paying teachers to post on forums

Wayne do you and Ben text each other before u post

Don't get your Tech Browns confused. Dave Brown is Chair; John Brown is first team coach.

The issue is yet another story of Tech paying players - beyond 'petrol money'.  Whilst you Tech and Coastal people argue over it, the reality is we will always have this status quo until we have a true semi-professional national club league; ie not in the forseeable future.

No he doesn't I'm off, twin girls birthday Wayne

Ouch this is getting messy and rather personal. 

Perhaps we could stick to the issues, that being some clubs are happy to pay players and others not. As long as we are clear on that, and not hide behind it, maybe we can all get along?

Maybe.

Please to hear that like me you do not agree it is OK, but has been going on for some time. As for which clubs - I have been made aware of at least two clubs in recent years. Did not state if were Mainland clubs or not.

Personal Ben, nearly every comment from you either slags tech or it's people still not heard one shred of facts from you.

I would be extremely pissed at Tech if I paid subs for my son to hear that the first team are paying everyone and any one. Are you on the board at Coastal, some serious allegations . I've attended a few mainland meetings where we try and sort out the game, if it's that bad I have never seen you take a stand at the meeting. Or is it better to stand behind vim and shout to the skies.

When Tech sign a player it's $$$ not football but if Coastal sign Longo one of the best players I the country , it's football. Me thinks playing too much Sunday football has turned your eyes green. 

I,m more than happy to sit down and explain our clubs culture to you,

Love it gunner Rex face. In that case I will never be paid again as the Shirley Burger King is a 27 second walk round the corner whilst o sheas is 33 seconds. The weight might help me throw further so I might get paid for that 

He is getting slimmer he even paid for his subway with some of his payments ;-). ;-)
