For all Rowville folk we have an amateur side Knox United

[LS 11]

Merry Christmas pal

Cassetti - lol

I went to a working bee / club effort thingy before Xmas and one of the old Italian boys greets me there, and says would I like a coffee from behind the bar

Me being Anglo expoects a White 2 sugars arrangement - imagine my surprise when the smallest cup in the world comes out with 98proff coffee and the little spoon standing straight up!!!!

Anyway tasted OK and I buzzed around for an hour or two - Seems the Italians have an Ouzo type / aniseed drink of some such similar to Grappa - seems me and the President are drinking these togather as soon as the season starts

All good mate - all good

[lankks]

Anyone vaguely worried about the water resrictions ? I know the city of Monash have cancelled the Cricket season and have barred clubs training on their pitches.

Evil bastards !! It's our choice wheather or not our knees get scuffed up on the hard grass.

I guess I'll have to call up again and see if my club is ignoring the rules and starts training this Thursday

By the way, Ashburton are shit...

water restrictions and no rain means no football season next season as it becomes an insurance issue, INSURANCE COMPANIES WILL NOT INSURE ON HARD GROUNDS

The VPL was scheduled to start Feb 10, but has been pushed back to March due to state team committments. Water restrictions for the most part will not impact the VPL clubs.

Other leagues we are deciding on next week. I have another few hundred meetings with council bodies, which will give us a clear and accurate pitcure on what will happen. For the most part, all clubs who play at coucil venues are being told to not touch their main pitches before the regular season. That means training somewhere else. Small price to pay for preserving the pitch for the stuff that counts.

There are a few possible scenarios, all to be revealed next week.

Same shit just another money making scam.

[keva]

Springvale white eagles played fawkner today and beat them 4-1 in a practice game.Apparently Carl rechia played shit.

[lankks]

Oh well... Springvale City and Kingston have been watering their grounds like crazy.

[Liam]

Ashburton start training tonight.

My club football career also starts tonight!

[andrew]

good luck with that mate. is pete playing for 'em too ?

[Liam]

Yeah if he stops chickening out!

[take_no_prisoners]

Ashburton start training tonight.

Enjoy it mate. I still remember my first game all those longs years ago. Downed 4-3 against the Pines in a thriller.

Even better is your first goal, something you'll never ever forget.

[Liam]

Even better is your first goal, something you'll never ever forget.

I've scored for my school before and it is a very nice feeling indeed! Hoping to have that feeling a few more times this year!

[lankks]

Trust me you'll get over it; it doesn't matter what you do. If you ain't showing on the training ground, then it's useless even playing at all.

The people out there who train harder, get the results. Thats my tip for you.

By the way, Ashburton are crap. It's useless playing juniors

[irish]

Come on thomastown

training started and some new faces

[bennyboy123]

Come on riversdale

Training starts on the 23rd. We're going up this year!

[Blackmissionary]

For those looking for plenty of football action with a large variety of teams including women's and juniors, that old chestnut the Hellenic Cup is starting this weekend, venues are Northcote City's John Cain Memorial Park and South Springvale's Warner Reserve. Men's teams range from VPL right down through state, provisional and amateurs, and from as far afield as Traralgon and Hobart.

http://www.helleniccup.com.au/ for fixtures

[a_mac]

come on altona city starting my pre-season soon FEB 2nd carnt wait

[1927blue]

how can the hellenic cup be taking place with all the water restrictions??

[take_no_prisoners]

Blackmissionary says games will be played at John Cain, which is on site to the synthetic pitches. Perhaps using those?

[MVFC_Lad]

What the fuck are you on about?

[lankks]

Being cynical; can't play in the Hellenic cup since I'm not registered with the club.

Time will tell again and when I say it's useless playing juniors, I mean it's useless playing juniors at Ashburton. Since they are such a horrible club, all they'll do it push you into the grave !

[Liam]

No worries man. Im playing seniors; its my first bout with a football club so I just wanna see where Im at.

I enjoyed training tonight, about time I got off my ass to kick a football around.

[Blackmissionary]

how can the hellenic cup be taking place with all the water restrictions??

I've wondered this myself, but it might help that the Hellenic Cup is not an FFV sanctioned tournament. As for the local councils letting them play, don't know how the mechanics of how they've worked it out. Maybe the fact that the prizemoney last year was double that of the FFV's pre-season cup, indicates that the organisers of the Hellenic Cup have been able to pay the insurance required?

[1927blue]

no insurer will touch anyone when the councils are deeming grounds unplayable and dangerous.
not as simple as just insurance though, i mean what council in victoria is actually sanctioning these games to take place -- this would make the news if there trying to play the comp on the sly so to speak -- unless you have a private set up (like white eaglles say) or have managed to fall into the amazing 25% of grounds that are exempt(mostly cricket and bowls atm), then u should'nt be on the grounds.
i hope the use of warner reserve has been permitted by council.

[Tunna]

Luckily, our ground is on the exempt list, but its still shithouse at the moment.

[LS 11]

Knox City Council do NOT have an excemption list!!

Only 2 turf wickets are allowed watering - EVERYTHING else is banned

Expect this to be the norm shortly

Will either mean an end to the season OR no training will be allowed

[lankks]

Well, as far as I know. Water restrictions have gone out the window at Springvale City. They've been watering their pitches almost every day.

Whether the councils simply don't know or they have permits, it's out of my scope of knowledge.

[mancuso]

Any friendlies this week end.

they are usind darebing sports complex for all their matches...artificial turf

[jogobonito]

No there not, I played today and they are only using Northcote's main pitch. Pretty bad condition I might add. No synthetic pitches being used.

[The President]

the youth used the artificial for the first game for the hellenic cup,
the rest of the games were on the northcote car park

[mancuso]

Any friendlies (practice matches) today?

I spose thats OK...At least the reserves and thirds will get a game this year!

35 minute halves is an interesting one...As if an extra 20 mins on the pitch will cause more damage! Why not just say that you cant warm up on the pitch or something.

[bennyboy123]

Riversdale will be fit and firing on the 14th!! C'mon River!

[LS 11]

Didnt they get relegated last season? or just avoided it?

I used to play for Middle Park in the 90s. Jimeoin played, as did Bob Franklin (google it biatch if you don't who i'm talking about)

Now Bobby Franklin is a top man, but that Jimeoin, well, he was a little carnt.

[bennyboy123]

Fixtures were realesed today for State 1 through to Provisional 2.

[Seb]

Last nights practice match
Nunawading Vs Monbulk

Ended up with Monbulk winning 1-0 on a probably won of the best grounds in the state atm.

With Nuna likely going back up to State 3 thanks to Clayton folding they will struggle this year and are likely to be relegated to Prov 1.

Monbulk on the other hand look like a good chance to head back up to State 3 at the end of the season with a few good signings.

Yours truly came off the bench in the last 10 mins.

[bennyboy123]

HAHAH!! Seb i play for Riversdale. See you in Round 5:wave:

Ressies or firsts?

[bennyboy123]

Ressies or firsts?

atm i'm on the cusp of the firsts. Last week played firsts, this week playing reserves...

What about you?

[Seb]

atm i'm on the cusp of the firsts. Last week played firsts, this week playing reserves...

What about you?

Yeah same.

Wed night played a half for ressies and like I said last night came off the bench for the firsts.

[bennyboy123]

Yeah same.

Wed night played a half for ressies and like I said last night came off the bench for the firsts.

How are you guys looking? We've got a few new players and we're looking a lot more solid than last year. The firsts lost only 1-0 with Port Melbourne last night and we beat Sandringham 1-0 last week end.

Looking very good actually. Picked up a few boys from Moroolbark. It was our first match last night and outplayed Nuna for the majority and got the win. So a good start to the year.

[bennyboy123]

Good luck for the season :thumb:

See you round 5:fencing:

[bosto]

atm i'm on the cusp of the firsts. Last week played firsts, this week playing reserves...

What about you?

Did you play in the practice match against La Trobe the other week?

[AVFC88]

Bosto - how is la trobe looking?

Who's coaching down there now? I heard Bobby McGuiness left?

Surely your ground must be best in Victoria right about now?

[juve.melbFC]

is any one in state 2?

[bennyboy123]

Did you play in the practice match against La Trobe the other week?

Yeah i played in the reserves. How bout you?

[bosto]

Bosto - how is la trobe looking?

LaTrobe will field much the same squad as last year, which if kept injury free will finish top half.

Bobby left after 3 seasons (his longest spell anywhere as player or coach) to coach his daughter (Eltham Ladies Premier League) but he is still around the club a bit as Eltham use our pitches to train sometimes.

New coach is John Gillispie (another scot) who used to be the coach at Diamond Valley.

On first inspection the pitch would have to be the greenest piece of grass in Victoria. However it had a fungus and has been reseeded in areas, so it is not consistant. Having said that we have nothing to complain about as the 'crap' patches are still better than what most clubs would call good at the moment. :peep:

You playing this year?

[bosto]

Yeah i played in the reserves. How bout you?

Seniors. Although you could hardly call it that, we were missing 6 first XI players at a wedding :violin:

My brother played reserves though that day.

Oh by the way... Today's results just in...

Yarraville 0 - LaTrobe 2 :clap2:

[Tunna]

Did you play at home Bosto?
Lat time I drove past Yarraville's pitch looked terrible.

We were scheduled to play a friendley against Keilor Park today, but their ground isnt ship shape yet. Our resembles a weed patch. Common theme everywhere right now, except La Trobe of course. Probably the best surface Ive played on over the last 3-4 years.

Good result Bosto. Did Patty play? Is ND injured yet lol?
