I hear the Zebras won the 2nd half 2-0 , gee and Souths want to be in a Mainland comp ? Hahaha
ReplyDelete5-0 at half time
DeleteWow , they must be good. Since when do scores for half a game count got anything? South are not as good as many think. They are lucky the rest of the comp has dropped off considerably since previous years especially the teams who were in the top 3 or 4 last year.
DeleteLmao. Five up at half time, they had nothing to play for in the second half. And as bad as you think they are, they are going to win the league and that is all that counts.
DeleteLike all teams, South can only play the teams that are in the comp. And last time I checked a win is a win?
DeleteYep if you can’t beat them.. buy them
DeleteThis is the difference bewteen 1st on the table and last. South won the game 5-2 and Zebras make a comment about winning the 2nd half. It's been a long season for the Zebras with only 1 win for year, but possibly more 2nd half wins.
DeleteYes. We have seen they lose to 10th place NPL Vic Teams. Second division hey
DeleteConsidering South signing players like Pokémon’s, their season has not been that good.
DeleteDid South play their second half with earpods in …tuned into the den.
ReplyDeleteLonny United. Total. Embarrassment. You have embarrassed yourselves for 3 years. Time to go. FT do your job please
ReplyDeleteYouve obviously got an axe to grind !
DeleteMore concerned about River still losing games
DeleteWhat and put Ulverstone in? What a joke. Lonnie has more credibility than the Ulv
DeleteHow so? United have zero credibility
DeleteNo way. United have had 3 years and are still getting massive flogging. Ulvie be way better.
DeleteUlvie are a huge club.
DeleteSouth looked average in the second half. Zebras exploited them well on the counter. Hopefully set a blueprint for South’s remaining opponents.
ReplyDeleteIt was 5 nil at halt time
DeleteCongratulations to Devonport Strikers WSL
ReplyDeleteplayers and coaching staff, fantastic season.
What a turnout at Lightwood park today. Probably the biggest crowd for a Tasmanian game this year except for the Australia cup game at KGV. Good to see club supporters getting around this year, the support has been increasing all year at a few clubs.
ReplyDeleteAnyone would think lions won the title today sorry a draw doesn’t count so over the top .
ReplyDeleteI think they did win it. For South.
DeleteAre you criticizing junior club players running on the pitch and praising the npl team, I thought it was great from kingborough to promote the game and create an atmosphere. Sorry kids under the age of 12 don’t understand when it’s the right time to celebrate. Silly comment 11:32.
DeleteYou don’t see the irony here
DeleteCan your club not fill out an 800 seat grand stand? You sound jealous that borough has supporters
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely what an effort from kingborough.
DeleteRe 11.32 . At Den yesterday, great crowd but when final whistle blew there was just silence as no one won except South.
ReplyDeleteAgreed
DeleteEven a 12 year old knows that a draw isn't a win. But kingborough celebrate anything like they're the champions there are photos and champagne after any win
ReplyDeleteAnd that is why the club fails to win anything until the change the culture.
DeleteIt’s just not cool finishing 3 or 4 each year but down the outlet it’s cause for celebration.
What has city won recently. How far back do we need to go?
DeleteWalter, when was City’s last State League win? 90s?
DeleteI think they won in last when John from Devonport got red carded
DeleteGood game between Knights and River. Knights fortunate with their fourth goal but you take them when you can. Two very soft penalties for River in particular the second. The big strong forward has it down pat, goes to ground very easily in the box but you need a tank to move him normally. Pleased to see the Knights show a lot of grit and determination. The group has come together pretty well now.
ReplyDeleteChampagne..... grow up.... trying talking facts and sense.
ReplyDeleteLook at any win Lions have had they end up having the whole match day squad in a photo post game
DeleteI didn’t know social media publicity was a crime. They are trying to promote the team and post photos of them after a game. There was a reason there was a good crowd at the game on weekend because they are promoting it. It’s good for Tasmanian football in general.
DeleteYou’re seriously having a go at 12 year olds for running on the pitch after a draw…
DeleteWhat’s the problem with taking a photo of a team?
DeleteThe bigger concern for Boro is their pitch brought in 6 meters and Ive probably seen better cow paddocks tbh for state league football not great, all good having a grandstand and loud mouthed u21s but if the pitch is that bad you aren’t going to see a decent game unfortunately
DeleteIf you want to winge about pitches there are 5 others in the npl just as bad
DeleteCity’s draw is Tasmanian Football’s loss
ReplyDeleteCity from chocolate's to expensive boiled lollies real quick.
ReplyDeleteCity… crumbled. Shame. Another wasted year
DeleteNot overly I wouldn’t imagine.
DeleteI’m sure they’ve only spent what most of the others are or have done.
I guess other clubs have had success and they haven’t
DeleteFast turning into the next lions can’t lot’s of talk no silverware.
DeleteThey are the Lions in a black and white disguise
DeleteTaroona winless in the WSL role put Jessie Williams for a couple of games each year to get a win .
ReplyDeleteSeriously what a joke !
Great player ,wonder King Kenny didn't sign her.
DeleteFrom what I hear they will struggle to keep their players
Anon 10.26 agree 100%. That’s why Taroona is and always will be just a social club. Their women’s team go year after year without winning many games at all. Nothing has improved,,,,,and our game administrators continually bang on about the quality of the women’s game blah blah blah . Joke!
DeleteIt’s funny how the same tired digs come out every year. Taroona is one of the only WSL clubs with a real culture, where players turn up because they want to, not because they’re being paid, and the idea that they’ll “struggle to keep players” is laughable when the same squad has been fronting up together for years. If anything, it seems some people are just salty that Jessie Williams can step in without playing seriously and still embarrass their players - pretty awkward for Kingborough to be put on show like that. At least Taroona don’t need to buy a whole starting 11 to feel competitive, which is more than can be said for some.
DeleteLost 3 games all season without City this season SH win the title probably 5 Rnds ago, so easy to make negative comments they just beat SH and Dev back to back was always a mountain to climb after RND 2 of games, City have been entertaining as a neutral enjoyed watching them.
ReplyDeleteAgree with the above hardly a wasted year for Lonnie City they’ve jumped from 5th to 2nd my clubs gone backwards, if I was involved there I would very happy with how they are looking.
ReplyDeleteI suppose you can’t argue with stupid.
I remember coming second. Said no one ever
DeleteI don’t think anyone’s celebrating it champ. If you make a point you have to back it up with some substance. I’m guessing the team you support are 4th or 5th this year ?
DeleteCity would be celebrating it. Kings
DeleteCan’t believe we all need to cheer on Riverside this weekend
ReplyDeleteNo chance
DeleteAs much as I don’t want this to go behind a paywall, but Walter’s blog has to be the best chronicle on football in Tasmania without question. Tony and Football Tas should embrace it and link it from their page. Clearly mainstream media isn’t interested in the skills the boys and girls have in the beautiful game. The pictures that Walter posts speak more than the 2nd rate YouTube coverage will ever provide. The Richie Benaud beige would look lovely with a little golden arches hue. Congrats to all for a great season.
ReplyDeleteThat game at lightwood has to be one of the highest NPL attendances in years. I heard there was around 1000 people there, doesn’t anyone have the most recent high like that?
ReplyDeleteI’d think it was the highest attendance at a league game ever. Only high attendances at Laka cups, Australia cups and finals. What an effort from kingborough and launie city, two clubs that will hopefully really challenge south next year. And in response to the comment about the pitch above, it’s the end of the season what do you expect? Lightwood is always in great condition but at the end of the season a bit worse for wear, but isn’t every pitch in tassie. It would still be top 3 pitches if the best in the state. Hopefully these two clubs can continue on an upward trajectory and keep these big crowds coming. Aswell as maybe bring some silverware in next year. Huge props to Fenech and Syson aswell as the two clubs this year regardless of whether they are bringing trophies in at the end of the year.
DeleteYep it’s pretty cool coming third or fourth each year how’s the trophy cabinet looking ?
ReplyDeleteLet me guess empty as normal well done consistent performance each year are good .
