Mainland have issued a directive to all clubs regarding the lop-sided scores in the juniors. Basically the margin for results will never be more than 7 goals, and last weeks results will be altered. Options for coaches to consider are swapping goalkeepers, swapping attack for defense and reducing the numbers of players.
Sigh.
Sigh.
How about this for a reply to above Mainland request, makes a monkey of a comp in Div1.
Thanks for the two emails - I'm totally with you on the goal difference - SBHS who we beat 24 nil had players who had never played football before and had only practised once or twice - I was wild when I found that out - what are they doing in Div 1 mmmmmmm!
Christ I played my goalie as striker in the second half and strikers as backs - that's no good for anyone!!
There are other teams who I know of in Div 2 who are miles better and we would struggle to beat them by the new 7 goal rule - They aren't allowed to come up because there is already one team from their club in Div 1 - another stupid bloody rule!!
Sorry to be sounding mad at you - I'm not - just frustrated when we put in all the work to be competitive and the schools in particular don't bother - get rid of them I say - make them play on a Wed
What will Mainland want top teams [Junior or Senior] to do next.
