  1. This is an interesting one for me, my loyalties are split. A bit of background, I obviously support Newcastle, have done for 30 odd years but I work for Ipswich Town as an Academy coach. I work with a fair few of the players that will be playing, the captain of the Ipswich Women`s team is a close friend of mine. When my daughter got into the Ipswich academy I started watching the Ipswich Women`s team most weekends. Another one of the team is from my Grassroots Club, she also plays for England. As for the weirdo in this thread talking down about women`s football, what is that all about ? I work in both the boys academy and girls academy, often the girls will beat the boys at the same age and level. The boys are physically stronger and faster but the girls are technically and tactically superior. The quality of some teams playing Women`s football can be really poor, maybe this poster has only seen some poor teams but watching Ipswich, Southampton and others the professional run Women`s teams the standard is really high. It`s not as simple as saying Women are crap at football and men are better. I took my 8 year old daughter training on Friday, she played a match in an U12`s boys game. She sat a 12 yr old down with drag back chop and turn. The boy was twisted up on the floor. Another time at a boys training center same age group I allowed the players to pick teams. A new kid didn`t pick my daughter picking first because she was a girl however the best player there picking for the other team shouted yes and picked her. He knew, he set up for a hat trick and they won 3-0. The popularity of women`s football is going through the roof at the moment, it won`t show anytime soon because of their age but all of the girls teams and different centers are full and turning away record numbers, the boys centers not even full.
  2. I went into work at 3 today. I coach at Ipswich Town Academy, 1 hour ago I was half getting the piss ripped out of me for supporting Newcastle and half shown pity by the other coaches. That`s going to change tomorrow. Stuck the radio on to hear the news, i`m actually in shock and the guilt of getting my daughter hooked on Newcastle is finally going to be lifted.
  3. I don`t know where she gets it from, I looked into my family tree and my Grandad`s (93 years old still going) Uncle was the Captain of Ipswich Town for 4 years just before it went pro. She usually has a harder shot than Joelinton but its pretty difficult in that icy snow. I nearly broke my ankle on it. She got signed for Ipswich Academy U9`s aged 6.
  4. Had quite a few people ask the same on my one and the retweet
  5. My daughter asked to do a video for Alan Shearers charity prize draw yesterday. Really pleased for her, could be coincidence but it jumped £10,000 after Shearer retweeted it. The video got to 55k views, we do the odd video here and there, the most views we got before were 3k. We got likes from Ian Wright, Sally Nugent, Steve Howey, Carly Telford, Chris Foy that we saw but you can`t view all of them on a retweet.
  6. Has anyone posted this Poll for the Athletic yet ? 6 questions, it only has a few thousand votes so far and would be better with more.
  7. Does anyone know if you can see how many have signed this petition ? https://chionwurahmp.com/2020/08/premier-league-petition/
  8. I blatantly spoiled our wedding anniversary the other day by being quiet all night and passed it off as being tired when in reality I was going over every report I’d read in my head looking to assign blame while drastically clinging to some sort of hope it’ll be resurrected. I’m 33 ffs and sat in a mood while out for a meal. I do not post much on here as I never really have the time. I can not put into words how I feel about this. I feel I have finally lost any connection I had with professional football. I have run out of ways to convince myself to enjoy it still. I am lucky though I still have grassroots football, watching my U9 girls team brush a side other teams gives me the same pleasure I used to get from professional football. It helped a lot last night to get out of my mood. I can`t recommend it enough if anyone is looking for a football fix. Clubs are crying out for women's football coaches, all courses paid for.
  9. Also a picture of him in his Newcastle kit and a Black and White sofa.
  10. On a good day his recovery sliding tackles have saved us many goals. On a bad day he is really bad.
  11. Full email if anyone is interested ANNOUNCEMENT READS: The Football Association [The FA] has been working collaboratively with the National League System [NLS], the Women’s Football Pyramid and the wider grassroots game since the outbreak of COVID-19 on how to conclude the 2019/20 season in the most appropriate way possible. These are challenging circumstances for English football and all decisions taken are in the best interests of the game and in consultation across key stakeholders. Our primary concern will always be for the safety and welfare of clubs, players, staff, officials, volunteers and supporters during this unprecedented time. Today’s steps take into account the financial impact during this uncertain period, whilst considering the fairest method on how the sporting outcomes for the season will be decided, with the integrity of the Leagues in mind. The NLS and the Women’s Football Pyramid were able to build a consensus amongst their leagues and, where possible, aimed to create a consistent approach across all leagues, whilst taking into account the unique characteristics of each individual league. As a result, The FA and NLS Steps 3 to 6 have reached a consensus that their 2019/20 season will now be brought to an end, and all results will be expunged. This will mean no promotion or relegation of clubs between NLS Steps 3 to 6, and no promotion to NLS Step 2. These decisions will also apply to the Leagues and clubs who play at NLS Step 7. The National League [NLS Steps 1 and 2] have agreed that they want to attempt to complete the competition in line with the Premier League, EFL and Barclays FA Women’s Super League and Emirates FA Cup and are therefore seeking permission from The FA that the season for this level will be extended beyond 1 June 2020 indefinitely. The planned implementation of the restructure of the NLS will also now be deferred until the start of the 2021/22 season. Furthermore, we can now confirm that The FA has decided that all grassroots football is concluded for the 2019/20 season. This will allow the game to move forward and to commence planning for next season. Our County Football Associations [CFAs] will be supporting grassroots leagues over the coming days to determine how they should close out their current competitions. Where appropriate, the above decisions will be put to The FA Council for ratification. Throughout this period The FA continues to seek guidance in respect of the Government’s financial support packages relative to COVID-19 and how they are applicable to clubs in the NLS, the Women’s Football Pyramid and the wider grassroots game. WOMEN’S FOOTBALL In the women’s game, The FA, FA Women’s Board members and the Women’s Football Conference have consulted and reached a consensus regarding the Women’s Football Pyramid. The FA and the Leagues within Tiers 3 to 7 have reached a consensus to bring the season to an immediate end and all results will be expunged. This will mean no promotion or relegation of clubs between Tiers 3 to 7. Agreement has also been reached to end the Regional Talent Clubs season, which was due to conclude in April 2020. We remain in consultation with the Barclays FA Women’s Super League and FA Women’s Championship Board and clubs regarding the most appropriate way to complete the current season; including the Barclays FA Women’s Super League Academy. FA COMPETITIONS With the Emirates FA Cup, Women’s FA Cup, Buildbase FA Trophy and Buildbase FA Vase 2019/20 all at advanced stages, The FA is reviewing all options as we seek to complete these competitions whenever it is safe and appropriate to do so. Clubs involved are close to reaching a major Final and for those clubs and supporters we will do all we can to keep the Wembley dream alive. In respect of The FA Youth Cup, The FA County Youth Cup, The FA Sunday Cup and The FA Inter-League Cup, we are also seeking to complete these competitions if it is feasible to do so. The FA will also continue planning for FA Competitions to take place for the 2020/21 season.
  12. Could have the unintended consequence of producing better-skilled players. Having to learn to trap the ball with your chest, foot, etc. Its not banned from matches though, so all these kids heading the ball incorrectly in matches will end up worse off. The email I got from the FA states they can train to head the ball once a month with a maximum of 5 headers at the age of U12, once a week at U13, increasing to 10 headers a week up to U17. At U18 do as little as possible.
  13. Anyone notice when dickhead brought Hayden on he kept Matty as the deep midfielder and put Hayden out wide left ? I would have had Matty there and Hayden in Matty`s place.
