Yeah I know. Worded that wrong really. More they're not bothered with the on pitch because this will be fine to keep us up. Do we even know who struck first? Did we or did the Premier League appeal first?

What's the story with the appeals from both sides? It's all gone very quiet. Part of me thinks the numptys in charge are hopeful this will be rescinded and that's what keeps us up.

Used to get my lad free last season with our old club before the whole thing folded. All funds went to the club and covered all training, matches and kit.

I set mine at £32 a month and pay that in for my lad also. I have full financial control of the team with our club though, I just pay them the pitch fee. Everything else is arranged by me, 3G, tournaments, trophies, kit etc. I've found this to work better for us this season, I haven't had to ask parents to pay more in for the summer stuff, it's just been booked and they can show or they can't. Plus I haven't had to dip into my own pocket at all this season (yet!!!!).

They're great, if they're levelled correctly. I already know we're going to two this year that we're going to have the backside ripped out of us. There's one we've entered where our group is full of level 1 teams, we're lower 3. Don't have a prayer. Annoyingly, the team of the club we're at for it who's in our level has somehow managed to end up in the lower level group

Absolutely ridiculous how many I'm in now . Going to get worse now tournament season is nearly upon us with groups getting created for them! I thought the I2CF was useless. I want to do my UEFA C which involves some face to face sessions which I think I'll get so much more from, but it's too expensive. I imagine you did yours with a lead coach and had to plan a session for everyone to take part in? My mates was like that. Think I'd have preferred it that way.

Just a case of getting in touch with clubs and seeing about if they have space. Ones you will struggle with are AP and Saffron Dynamo, most others in the county will probably be able to accommodate a new side. Probably best to get in touch soon mind, the new formats begin next season and I can see it being carnage for U9 - U11 due to pitch space. You will definitely need the Introduction to Coaching, First Aid, Safeguarding children and valid DBS before you can properly begin. Get the IT2CF booked ASAP as it can be a long wait to start if you miss the current blocks, unless you have a FA level 1 coaching badge.

I assume you are referring to just starting a new team and not a new club (that would be horrific). Do have the numbers to get going immediately? If that's the case, speak to clubs and see if they are accepting new teams for your age group (I know mine is accepting applications). If you do not have the numbers, speak with clubs that have an academy running. You'll be able to build your side out of these club run sessions. AFC Andrews have a Saturday academy and a 3G. They look more and more appealing to me as the months go by! Bloomin heck. That's gone up! For a course you get nothing out of other than a piece of paper to say your allowed to coach!

In your "whoever" slums Cheer up Mark McGee When you're smiling

Same boat. Had to calm some of the idiocy down because it was getting too much. To be fair to them, since I told them they wouldn't play if they weren't paying attention and listening, they've been much easier to handle. Other than my current headache mind you. Probably should have stamped this out much earlier, but I just thought it would blow over. Problem is, my son is very vocal and it's easier for me to rollock him than anybody else, so he looks like he's always in the wrong, where he genuinely isn't. Yeah I'll be keeping them well apart for the drills just to create some distance. Can't put them on the same side in mini games because they'll start the minute my lad tries telling the other one where to go or what to do.

Looking for a little advice here. Got two boys in my side who have been friends since reception at school. One is my lad. They've gone all the way through school, started football together and are back playing together after I took on my lads team. My son has had issues with a bully at their school, which prompted us to move him recently. Before this, there seemed to be a bit of needle between them. The hope it would all calm down after a half term break away from each other and no longer seeing each other at school evaporated on their first day back training together! Now my son won't be innocent, he can get anyone's back up on a football pitch, but he is a bloody decent player and understands the game very well, which in a mixed ability team will have its problems as he can certainly play at a higher level. The other lad is probably one of, if not the weakest player in the side currently. Now the issue I am having is these two are at it constantly at training. It's being picked up by some of the other boys in the team. The other lad on the main is the protagonist, where he will come in and just start mouthing off. My son isn't one to back down (even though we've repeatedly told him to ignore it) and starts nibbling back. The other kid has a very high opinion of himself and puts my son down, who for whatever reason always believes people when the tell him he is no good at things. I'm at a point now where he's getting agitated about training. What do I do? The parent of the other lad has been in touch asking what to do. I'm going to take them both to one side at training next week to see if I can iron it out, or at least set some rules where they just don't speak with one another, but that's not really in the spirit of the team I'm trying to build. I'm at a loss with this one.

Going to be absolutely box office with Nando having a brand new Honda engine again aint it

We're done. They don't have the fight nor desire for a relegation battle. This is the same group of players that bowed down and let it happen last season, nothings changed.

Heartbreak yesterday. Game heading for a draw and our keeper chucks two in the back of his net in the final 2 minutes. Poor kid was distraught, ever so reliable normally as well. Horrible position to play and I am really am amazed kids put themselves through it.

Signed up to the trust yesterday. The changes within the group and that car crash of an interview from Aiyawatt has made me take the plunge. I feel it's going to be needed in the coming months / year and the more members it has, the louder the voice is.

After 5 long weeks, we finally managed to get our game on yesterday. Could see a lot of rustiness in there, made hard work of it, some even looked like they'd never seen a ball before, but we managed to grab a deserved win in the final minute of the match. Phew!!!!!

Van Veen is the man to challenge Littler regularly. Tonight just wasn't the night. Really do like him and rate him

Would fully recommend this. Mrs got me one for xmas. Brilliant bit of kit. I can set it up in 5 minutes for a game, the board disappears out of sight when not in use for her.

Booing on Van Veen's double 🤬. Let them play darts!!!

Caught the final set of Littler / Cross after getting in from the match last night. Looked a corker. Can forgive Littler for his reaction, he's only 18 and he's just giving it back to the melons in the crowd. Remember a few years back in the Premier league in Scotland it was horrendous, needs cutting out early before we get back to those levels again.

Looks like our run of results towards the end of term have saved us from dropping a level, which I'm pleased for the boys about. May also have something to do with where the sides we've beaten have placed themselves for the leagues resumption in January. Going to be difficult when we return looking at who has been placed in our level. Lots of teams dropping a level, one dropping two levels (here we go ). Can see some tough Sunday mornings on the horizon.

I feel your pain. Can go from being capable of annoying the best, to looking like they've never seen a football before. It is painful at times.

Brilliant darts from Manby on Worlds debut. Great match to watch

Finished the term strongly in the end. Some much needed wins and more importantly, performances from the boys that show they can do it. Our game yesterday consisted of two absolutely stunning goals from my side, proper goal of the season stuff. Great to see the confidence start to come back.
