Go you knights girls
Great to see a tight competition this year so far. That new Tassie football funny’s page is a little embarrassing
Does anyone know what the commotion at Lightwood Park was about?
Would be nice to get an unbiased commentator for the games at Valley Rd please. He does a good job but too pro devonport
Think it was those under 14 boys that stand on the hill abusing players
Nothing! The Kingborough fans behind the goals are an entertaining bunch. I didnt hear them cross the line once tonight but they got under the skin of a Launceston player, who was then sent off for flipping them off!
Good for the game, provided of course no one crosses the line.
Agree totally!!👍
Geez some people are moaners. You can always mute the audio. I can teach you how.
Whose coaching river this year?
To be totally honest. I find it so dam annoying to watch an NPL livestream game with no commentary! So Annoying that we then have to turn the volume off completely so we don’t have to listen to the chit chat on the sidelines ( although some being quite vulgar is slightly amusing at times). Can anyone enlighten me on the reason only some games have commentary?
I think it's great for the game, they are entertaining and provide atmosphere at games which Tasmania has always lacked. They are changing the game as you can see fans of other clubs around the state making some noise!
The only abuse I saw was the Launie United coaches and players towards the match manager. Having a go at volunteers whilst 5-0 down, embarrassing.
Not because other teams have caught up with Devonport, they’ve gone backwards in comparison to previous seasons.
Devenport looking like a shadow of their former selves
Who was the commentator for the Port V Knights game?
Loved his enthusiasm.
Got a bit carried away when he said the season is on the line for both teams!
The reason I heard is that FT want one 'match of the round' with interviews and commentators, even though they could do other games.
They are not “fans”. They play for the club…
Yes good for the game if they don't cross the line. Unfortunately they do, some of the comments and language they target players with is questionable. Example was listening to them targeting Josh Jones in goals in Summer Cup match. Then again the Glenorchy crew behind the goals at KGV do exactly the same, especially towards keepers. When it overstep the mark the Match Managers really need to step up.
Clearly an over sensitive Devonport supporter that can’t handle constructive criticism.
if they aren’t fans but they support and follow their team home and away every weekend, sing and chant for an entire game. What would you call them?
You’ve made me cry now. I’m not sensitive
These young kids are both fans and players.
Their presence at games definitely brings some colour and life. Noise and banter is part of the game.
I'm certain these boys have been made aware of any concerns, and will reflect on any behavioural issues.
Wind back the clock 15-20 years to some of the biggest crowd attendance (Zebras v Knights at KGV on a Saturday night for example) then maybe, people can have a crow about player abuse. I recommend going and watching a local Aussie rules game for some context...
If a "professional" footballer can't handle some feedback (content is irrelevant) from some kids, then reacts and get sent off, that says more about him and his management...
Horns, drums and chants are fantastic, however I have been present at NPL games, where children with drums and horns have been asked to stop or leave. Imagine going and watching a NPL game in Melbourne and Sydney and this occuring...

Match Managers from all clubs do not do what they are supposed to .
It is their duty to keep control of benches , coaches etc .
They are also responsible for crowd control. A quiet word is all that is warranted most times.
They are not required to arrest people .
If people do not comply then they can always call the police from them to deal with anyone who oversteps the mark and outside of the law.
So it is the club's responsibility at the end of the day as they appoint the Match Managers.
