Penang F.C.

[Paolo]

In case people wanted to know penang fc lost 12-0 in 20s and 8-1 in 1sts yesterday

 

[Kareem]

I was trialling for u20s for Mt Penang. Great coach...but the quality is seriously lacking. If I satyed I could have made the squad (most likely as a utility player?)(which shows how bad the quality was there, lol) but I didnt want to pay $350 just to be be able to call myself a 'rep' player. (although it was seriously tempting). I am content with training with reserves and 18s at the moment and my $130 rego.

Kareem u arent good enough for Penang FC, ive seen u play plenty of times, u may be alright in the Bs but would u even be benchwarmer or orange peeler in the As let alone reps

lol
1) Have you watched Mt Penang...
I was good enough for Mt Penang- noted by their 12-0 loss. That's where I had my concerns...I knew they would get flogged if I was good enough...coz I dont think i'm exactly rep material...
2) I was one of top 6 players last season in the B's which equates to not 'allright' in b's but rather- pretty good in b's
3) I would walk into any A grade team and straight away be one of the better players in the team. I played 2 full games in A's last year for Umina and had no problem!
4) in 16s I made branch round 2 selections (and was cut) as were every single A grade players except for Scott Rowland (who is now playing for lightning).
5) I was invited to trial for Mariners Acadmey as the best 17 yr old prospect at my club...yet again better thanbieng alright in the a's
6) And unless I get badly injured or soemthign it is only a matter of time until I'm in 1st grade (2-3 years)
7) Who the heck are you...Mr 1 post?

I wish this club all the best, because as Rowdy and others have pointed out, it is a good direction for Central Coast Football to be heading in. However, losing 5-1 against Kincumber, who are not even in the Premier League, means there is <b>A LOT</b> more hard work to be done, unfortunately.

 

[Paolo]

They played Kanwal yesterday in a trial match, reserves lost 5-2 and 1sts lost 5-0

 

[graaant]

Are there actually any players on the pitch?

 

[Paolo]

Are there actually any players on the pitch?

Yes, but by the looks of it they are only of division 1 standard, well not even that, as they have been thumped by 2 division 1 sides

 

[kevrenor]

Just 'cos it is in the State League (and 45 levels down from NSW PL) does not mean it is higher standard that local association Premier League teams. They often (St Andrews Eastwood from GHFA), Gymea Hawks (from Sutherland) for example sometimes go through a few rounds in the Tiger Turf Cup (KO).

Don't compare apples with oranges.

Hmmm... anyone see it?

 

[Paolo]

Did not see it but talking to a few lads i know who play just said that the other side was just in a much different class to them and they played poorly.

A few of them are already getting the shits with the constant drubbings and already talking about next year returning to club football

 

[Jimmy]

1-12 aye.
Does anyone else see this as an embarressment to the central coast football community?

No I for one don't these boys are having a go - more than some of the other here are prepared to do, sure there is a lot of work to be done and these guys will improve.

In this game anyway I heard Tony had to ref so that means the team did not have a coach so that makes things a bit hard for them.

Did you know in the Balmain game they were playing against John "Jockey" Buonavoglia still a very potent striker 3 years ago he was placed in Sydney FC to replace Dwight Yorke whilst Yorke
was on international duty against Trinidad and Tobago.

No I didnt know that, But it with the opposition having talent lik that also just shows that they are in a different league (in a bad way).

maybe "embarressment" is a bit strong word, but it's in the dirrection I'm going in.
Was this the only league they could of entred in, or was there lower?

I'm not knocking their spirit and guts, good on 'em for trying.

 

[dwight]

Have a look at the Football NSW website Luddenham got beat by Balmain 7-0 (Jockey' got four goals btw)
on the weekend at least Penang got a goal.

Make no mistake the plan is a two to three year one this is the lowest league they could really enter but that doesn't stop guys like "Jockey" being there lets support Penang not knock it.
