Lions looking a bit better maybe we don’t write them off just yet
ReplyDeleteCongratulations must go to Launceston City who played 88 minutes with only 10 players and only tired and conceded the winning goal in the last few minutes. You had the better of the game up until that point and you can hold your heads high boys ,well done !
ReplyDeleteLoss is a loss. That’s the kind of attitude that saw city as a basket case for years
DeleteCity fantastic today 10 men for 90 mins they played beautifully I would be a proud supporter.
DeleteI think it just says a lot about the difference in the coaches and players abilities when you can't come up with a plan to comfortably beat a 10 man side for the whole game and only score a goal in the last 3 minutes lol
DeleteMe too. A narrow loss to a formidable zebras team. Congrats city
DeleteZebras 2 city 1
DeleteI’ve never seen a game where a team lose a player in 39 seconds to be exact and then outplays the opposing side. Credit to zebras advancing but I’d say that they should feel very fortunate advancing poor showing with an extra player for 90 mins. It’s a real shame there’s no footage to tell the story.
DeleteCity could have played with 8 men and the result wouldn't have been much different Zebras are too old at the back ,too short at the front and too stubborn on the sidelines to make the right choices
Deletetoo old at the back? all under 25 but douce who brings experience. silly comment.
DeletePoor discipline is a reflection of leadership
Delete7:19 am are you really questioning City’s discipline over what we all witnessed at knights when old mate was in charge and how he talks and carries on with players, let’s see where he is next season …
DeleteHe would be jumping for joy if Zebras even got a Participation Certificate at seasons end
DeleteWhat has city won in recent times apart from participation certificates?
DeleteUmm Ulverstone… say no more
ReplyDeleteAre Football Tasmania having an Easter Break their coverage is non- existent.
ReplyDeleteAgree a call of thank you to Walt and Rhodesy is in order when the CEO ever gets back to Tassie .
DeleteThank goodness we have a great media guy in Walter and an outstanding football lover in Tanner to keep us all upto date
DeleteWell done to Ulverstone, travelled 4 hours each way to only lose by 9 goals. Hopefully South chucked them a few free slabs for the trip home
ReplyDeleteWould chuck them straight back into the Northern champ. Never good enough and a waste of everyone’s time and energy!
DeleteLoose by 10 goals actually
DeleteHow does an NPL club concede 10 goals in a game not once, but twice and are how deep into the season. Great promotion
DeleteUlverstone wouldn’t finish top 4 of southern champ. Olympia, New Town, Taroona and South Hobart reserves would turn them over with relative ease.
ReplyDeleteGood to watch a couple of old rivals play in front of a good crowd at Olympia last night.
ReplyDeleteA perfect example of why this NPL setup should be an enforced South/North split.
DeleteSouth:
South Hobart
Kingborough Lions
Clarence Zebras
Glenorchy Knights
South East
New Town Eagles
Olympia Warriors
Taroona
North:
Devonport Strikers
Launceston City
Riverside Olympic
Launceston United
Ulverstone
Northern Rangers
Somerset

With a State Final series…that would give you a good number of games for season
DeleteThe NPL is dead. No media coverage outside of some great local people who do more than anyone on FFT. No money in it. Puts clubs in debt. More interstate and imports as the standard of local players isn’t ideal plus who want to travel the state on the weekends. She dead kids
DeleteSplit the NPL together North and South then run a finals series to determine state NPL winner.
DeleteSouth 1st away to North 4th
South 2nd away to North 3rd
North 1st away to South 4th
North 2nd away to South 3rd
And so on
It’s been dead since Australia decided to sanitise the game. Take the migrant connection/name and culture out of the game and replace it with Americanisms like jets etc. migrants propped the game up for decades adding colour and verve to the game.
DeleteState is too small for so many teams. Unfortunately more hybrid clubs needed like kingborough/calies
DeleteI don't understand how Olympia still makes these types of conversations.
ReplyDeleteLittle to no structure at the club, I was there on Saturday and it felt as if the game was a hindrance to the club.
Tell me you are not part of the club without telling me YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE CLUB…
DeleteRight… because turning up for one game suddenly gives you a full understanding of how the whole club operates. Bit of a stretch.
DeleteIt’s easy to call it “no structure” when you’ve got no idea what’s actually happening behind the scenes week to week. There’s a lot more going on than what you “felt” on the day.
And let’s not ignore the fact there was a big turnout there — clubs that are supposedly that disorganised don’t exactly draw that kind of crowd.
Everyone can have an opinion, but it carries a bit more weight when it’s based on more than a one-day observation.
Who are you mate sitting there saying Olympia has nothing, the club has been building itself up with no backing from football tas no backing from the government. A hinderance to the club there was 600+ people to watch a champ team take on an Npl team who only won off of two controversial penalties and Olympia dominated possession in the second half. Either shows the club has something going for them or the quality of Npl has just turned really far in the wrong direction
DeleteSorry my mistake I forgot its never Olympiad fault and its not fair that the government and ft are bailing them out. I saw a team in red comfortably win also sorry to disappoint you.
DeleteNo one ever said it was or wasn’t Olympias fault. You ‘felt’ the need to reply to a post that mentioned Olympia in a southern league… and tried to turn it into a negative towards the club you probably have only ever seen from the outside.
DeleteAlso congratulations to the Knights on their result and progression into the next stage..
You must also have ‘felt’ you played a big part in the result.
Anon – 2:33pm: What exactly are you expecting Football Tasmania or the Government to provide to Olympia? Who funded the fence around the ground and the new changerooms, weren’t those grant-funded? It was only 18 months ago that the club was fully committed to merging with the Zebras. It seems your memory is quite short and misguided on building itself up.
ReplyDeleteIf you don’t know… don’t speak…
DeleteAnon 2:33 interesting fact out of that game on Saturday night the knights have 4 players in their NPL squad that used to be part of the old Olympia academy and all 4 played on the one team as kids at Olympia until the club imploded from within. Olympia academy was at one time on par with Souths.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn’t for a few poor decisions where they lost their licence those players and more would still be there
Anon 11:45am
ReplyDeleteThe only hindrance was your attendance.
Anon 9:25pm
ReplyDeleteHow do you think Metro, Glenorchy, Kingborough and South East all funded their ground upgrades?
Chook raffle?
Clueless comment from a person who attends one game every decade.
And if they were so committed to the merger, why didn't it go ahead.
Again, some know it all who knows nothing apart from just typing behind a keyboard because they have no idea as per my comment above.

Why are you so emotional? I assume it was one of your own supporters who said this on April 6 @ 2:33pm, which is what I was responding to.....Quote "Who are you mate sitting there saying Olympia has nothing, the club has been building itself up with no backing from football tas no backing from the government" End quote.
DeleteYour supporter (or you) said no there was funding from Government...when it's as clear as day there has been with the fence and the rooms. Fact check before you go firing from the hip, Champ.
Olympiawho
ReplyDeleteObviously you know who..
Deletestill living rent free..

ReplyDeleteI am a human and humans have emotions.
It is our biological make up.
I am not quoting anyone else but you.
My statement is still correct, all clubs need help from all areas, whether that is council, government, sponsors and volunteers, that is how they continue to exist.
And who cares where this funding comes from. I understand that this is your point, but who cares. At the end of the day they are all council owned facilities and every club, football AFL, Cricket and Netball are all in the same situation, without this funding, nothing improves.
And I prefer to shoot from the mouth, it has more bite, cobba!
