  1. Agreed, I have 1 parent who moans non stop, he has never been abusive to the refs but if his son gets fouled he demands for a booking, which never happens at this age group. Some of the stuff I have heard is shocking and I coach kids! There should be more in the way of sanctions to protect refs in grassroots football but ultimately I dont think the F.A care that much
  2. I coach an U9 (U10 next season) They play 7v7 at the moment and for me the biggest issue is the lack of refs. There are 3 or 4 clubs local to us that have 5 different teams for each age group, because these clubs make a decent amount of money from the 40+ kids they have on the books at each age level they seem to have an agreement with the F.A so every week they get appointed a ref. For context my lads played 24 games this season, we were appointed a ref only twice, no suprise they were when we played teams that are in the pocket of the F.A. The majority of the time we are scraping round to try and get someone to referee a game, if we dont get one then its luck of the draw if you get an opposing manager who is prepared to ref half the game.... and is fair. We played a team where their manager said they had a ref which turned out to be one of their coaches and it was the most corrupt match I have ever seen. Granted we have to fill out an online form after the game where you score the performance of the ref, opposition etc, but nothing comes of it. Grassroots football is an absolute mess, the way funding is proportioned is a joke. I know of one team that got £5k for fitting an outside tap at their ground! My team are F.A accredited and get absolutely minimal funding.
  3. Sorry all, if we lose this one it's on me. Dog cost me a fortune in vets fees this week. Boiler packed up yesterday and needs replacing. Villa 2-0 up against utd at home.... It comes in threes they say.
  4. As someone who is a coach on a grassroots sunday league team. That gets me rock hard.
  5. I was going to say I doubt it because he is a blue nose, but we all know their level of obsession
  6. He is literally a sunday league coach. He coaches the u12 team for the club my son plays for.
  7. What concerns me most with the potential appointment of Gerrard is that during his time at Rangers, he has never had a "bad run of form" or a string of results go against him. Granted he won the league and I hate to take away the merit from that but it is a two team league and Celtic absolutely shit the bed last year. How will he cope when things don't go his way? Because at Villa he will definitely have a run of games where we struggle. Also there is absolutely no point to this appointment if he doesnt bring Michael Beale along.
  8. Seeing some of the mental suggestions here is baffling. Zidane for me........
  9. Failed his medical at Brugge allegedly. Brugge still have the option to take the risk with him though. https://www.voetbal24.be/news/72502/club-brugge-krijgt-erg-slecht-nieuws-te-horen-over-wesley-moraes
  10. Way more rational than I am. As soon as it is confirmed I am taking booing lessons, for the game at Villa Park I want to make sure I have the right tone and pitch to my booing so Jack really feels it.
  11. My 10 year old daughter absolutely idolises Jack, she even has a signed luke away shirt on her bedroom wall. Having broke the news of Jack possibly leaving us last week she was devastated. This morning I have told her it looks like today is the day Her response "meh, you're either Villa or you're not" She said she will take his shirt off the wall when it has been confirmed.
  12. I agree, Factor in that 5 players were making their home debut against a team that bar a couple have played together for the past few seasons . I saw enough today to believe we will be fine this season
  13. So now it has changed from worst player on the pitch (which was Billing btw), to worst villa player. As others have mentioned, he created 6 chances today, got an assist in passing the ball to Luiz and on a other day could have had two goals. The lad is still adjusting to the premier league.
