Can someone at FT explain to camera persons , what following the ball -Zoom and not filming the sky when injury or incident occurs - todays games were comical
819 agree. And film when a sub is being made rather than watch a dead ball
How many games have United won in 3 seasons of NPL.
Trying to do NPL from a statewide setup is ridiculous. Just move to North/South NPL divisions.
Just a question: if the South East United coaches don’t have the correct accreditation, and without a Championship and/or Championship One side to meet the minimum accreditation requirements to stay in the NPL, do Ulverstone and/or Launceston United have the right to appeal if relegated?
Has Football Tasmania given one club a massive advantage in avoiding relegation?
It’s an interesting twist to the season!
Do Kingborough have a champ side?
United have had long enough to prove their worth. They are clearly not an NPL club….
The Answer is yes FFT have got some explaining to do and yes both clubs should appeal one club has being given a huge advantage in avoiding relegation.
What’s the advantage? Shouldn’t the team be easier to beat if they don’t have “qualified” coaches?…. If you don’t have the points you go down, plain and simple.
No they do not
Not true there are standards that are required by all clubs one is coaching accreditation the should be no exception.
Trouble in paradise @ Darcy Street…. Two poor results, title slip ups
Regarding NPL clubs having a champ team, I believe they do not need to have one but they do need to have an u21s. If I’m wrong happy to be corrected.
No you are correct but you also MUST have coaches with the correct accreditation.
If you put in a nomination for the NPL the minimum coaching accreditation clearly states must be a B License.
Football Tasmania and the Club have had plenty of time to address this hasn’t been done hence all points should be forfeited the have earned .
If not Football Tasmania have created a huge issue for themselves surprise surprise !
Granted the club did have a coach who they lost a week into the season… not easy to retool off the back of that.
Not sure FT at fault, when one club , who were not happy with FT decision of not being allowed to participate in this year's NPL..
The said club, then approached Football Australia , who in turn , virtually told FT on what to do.
Will be interesting at years end, if 2 teams from same region, end up in bottom 2 positions, will FT drop both?
Thus creating 5 from one region, and 3 from the other.
Will then, NPL as we know it , fold, as region with only 3 teams, will no doubt have many more away trips.
Pretty sure that was the reason the last state wide competition folded .
They did have the correct accreditation and now dont due to something not of any fault of the club, FT are happy with what the club has done to be fixing this, would you be saying the same about a top 4 club if something happened as such?
4:40 You are correct. Only need a 21s
Asking for South east to forfeit their points due to the coaching issue that hit out of nowhere is embarrassing. Clearly a Launy Utd or Ulverstone supporter, imagine your team stays up due to forfeit of points by another team just so you can continue to get flogged every week for years to come. Launy Utd and Ulverstone have no place in NPL, the fact they can’t get 2 wins a season shows their place is in Northern champ. This might upset some northern fans but facts don’t care about your feelings
The fact is South East United have had weeks to address this coaching accreditation issue totally unfair on Launceston United and Ulverstone who have followed the correct protocol.
The Fact is South East United are in breach of the rules and should loss any points.
And if FFT do not acted the CEO should step down this is a major mistake by the federation and if the correct action is not taken .
Ulverstone and Launceston United should appeal to FA .
Just as South East did to gain admission can’t have you cake and eat it !
Saying that having 3 northern teams will kill the NPL is laughable. We had a 3/5 split for the first 10 years and it was better then. United have been stinking the league out for the last 4 years
Rules are Rules Standards are Standards if you are in breach on the minimum requirements .
Then all points should be void you can’t cry because you didn’t get in and go to FA .
Then when you break the rules expect no punishment it doesn’t work both ways sorry .
Hahaha, what a ridiculous comment... Launnie Utd and Ulvie could appeal but what would be the point. If they can't win any games this season, what would be the point in them continuing to stay in the league. Launnie especially. They've had years to be in the league and yet have showed no signs of improvement at all.
Exactly, only Launy Utd fans can't see this
Calm down
Why would launie united even want to be in the npl. They get flogged every single week without fail.
Ulverstone. Who was the brain child that added them in? May as well have a bye in when playing them
If the league ends up being a split, in whatever direction, then that is what it is. It is about having the best teams, to create the best competition, for the best spectator enterainment. Every team gets the same opportunity at the start of the season to get their best side together to compete. If they aren't up to competing or finish last then so be it. Someone has to come last and it is as simply as that.
Team should look at there recruitment and poor coaching before casting finger at FFT for not decuting points from a team that doesn't have the right coaching licences.
117 am you are spot on. There were several years when Lonny City were the only team from up north in the State League
rules are rules
standards are standards
not once have FT made any club comply to the full.
South East do not have a B license coach
Darcy Street does not have the required change-rooms and facilities
FT decide what they want and that is what is mostly pushed through
No sorry rules are rules this is the same club that complained when the original eight team league was formed last season and appealed.
If you don’t have the correct coaching accreditation you simply shouldn’t be in the league .
On top of that the stuffed the Championship and Championship One League by pulling out sorry this is wrong and everyone knows it is .
You think the hammerings that Launceston City were getting in the early state league years from 2013 were “better then”?
Look, if we didn't have Ulverstone, South East and Launceston United in the competition, then Zebras would be sitting with 6 points on the ladder.
Interesting way of looking at it. So Knights would have no points then.
Wow Kingborough 21s on the weekend… ego finally caught up to them
Haha, so Glenorchy Kniights currently on six points, Zebra's and Launceston City on 15, with Riverside on 16 points.
Love people stirring when they haven't got a clue.
With your thinking Knights should be on minus 3 then .
Obviously another Zebra's knocker
They were lucky FA forced FT to include them in the league.
Now they struggle not meeting the requirements as well. They should be removed from the league at seasons end. They had their chance and have stuffed it. This may be harsh based on all the hard work that Glen Roland did however the league’s quality and existence must prevail.
Yes and they would be last.
to 4:41pm - The league's quality must prevail?
By forcing Launy utd and Ulverstone to stay up?
You are having a laugh, neither of those teams is anywhere near NPL quality. They'd struggle to win Northern champ league
They do indeed, They have a B Licenced Coach as well as an A licensed coach on board. Have a little check of your facts before you start whining that your club cant stay up after not even being able to win the Northern Championship.
*FFA. Are you aware what happened to the club at the start of the season. Licensed and ready and something unavoidable happened. In the interim they did what they could. They now have all relevant qualifications on board.
Lonny City were the only northern team in the 1990s and one of the most successful in the state. Yes they were crap in 2013. The point here is that the NPL does not need an even split if north south teams. There should be more from the south purely based on numbers.
United are a joke. 1 win in 4 years. They need to go but what makes the people at that club want to put in the volunteer hours to get pumped year in year out out and finish bottom. They have not added anything positive to the league
The most important standard is the playing one! Lonnie and Ulverstone are nowhere near it. Already trying to figure out how to stay up on a technicality
Fair call. Ulverstone are a shambles. They wanted to promote local players in their NPL, I remember the coach saying this, yet has a team of mainlanders from Facebook Marketplace
Ulverstone didn’t even win the Northern Champ before they got promoted…
Like kinborough pulled out of champ a couple years ago or south hobarts ground or changerooms aren't up to NPL quality, im sure if what has happened to south east happened to another club no one would be saying boo, just jealous of what southeast has been able to put together and stick together through such a hard year off the pitch, they should be happy, plus they are now if anything over qualified in the coaching area
9pts, so I stand correct. Either way Glenorchy would be last.
Anon May 26, 2026 at 4:22 PM
Correct. Knights would have zero points
Anon May 26, 2026 at 4:40 PM
Not quite, it would be 0 points, not minus 3.
But it still proves my point that Zebras would only have 6 points in total and be second last.
Neither did United when they were stupidly allowed in
Mainland FC
Don’t worry people, the chosen ones on the npl standing committee will sort it all out
The problem with the NPL is that FT have all these criteria and requirements to play in the NPL that they allow any team to be in it not based on performances and recognition, but more where they votes are for them to try and obtain funds by having teams who are located in certain political areas.
If they had based it on actual football history and by choosing clubs who laid the foundations of this sport in this state, then teams like New Town Eagles, Olympia, Glenorchy, South Hobart, Kingborough and Taroona would make the NPL South competition and the NPL North would consist of Devonport, Northern Rangers, Launceston City, Riverside and then you could have your Launceston United and either Ulverstone, Somerset or Burnie in there and it would create an even 6 teams per competition making it far more competitive and then have a top 4 play off between the top 2 teams in each league.
This would then mean less diluted player base, better crowds and more exposure to games that are played in the one demographic area.
You know it makes sense.
Just do it already.
Cmon you reds
Taroona what history do they have. History doesnt have a thing to do with it
Pick University if you want. It was just a club chosen to make the numbers even in the league.
So 12 teams, but a less diluted player base than the 8 team league it is going back to next year? How do you figure that?
