FFA and NSWPL

[Ravna Gora]

People,
I am urging everyone in the Serbian community to withdraw all of their support for Australian soccer and its teams as the NSWPL will not allow our White eagles into the league, therefore i and many other Serbians are not going anywhere near any aussie soccer matches for a long time...this is nothing personal just against the FFA and NSWPL

If the white eagles fans didn't cause so much vandalism and crowd trouble when they play away games and actually get a proper stadium and grandstand then perhaps NSW soccer will let them into a competition ? :rolleyes:

get ***ked u stupid dickhead, ppl like u who ***k up this game in the country and hold it back. Its good this one city, one team concept as I for one can actually go to a football match and enjoy it. The A-League is one of the best things that has happened for a long time for Australian football. And not you or your ethnic friends can do nething about it.

Hey no hard feelings i said its nothing personal. We are not trying to stop the game, we are just withdrawing our support for it. As for vandalising and all that didnt u guys do a bit too?? It takes two to tango, and i got nothing against most croats, they have never done anything to me personally so im not going to get into this Bonno vs Syd Utd thing. Best of luck in the NSWPL and if we meet again maybe u guys can put up a challenge this time (4-1 im joking btw). Anyway as much as i like the A League im withdrawing my support for it along with the thousands of other Serbian fans.

Regards,
Ravna Gora (and i agree about the title change, sorry)

I'm with u, this is BS. Undoubtedly one of the best sides in NSW not being allowed into the new premier leauge. And let me ask u this did Sydney United get in???
It's just typical, us getting screwed again and being made out the bad guys.

yeh 2 tangoed.. but letting sydney utd In and not bonnyrigg. thats a joke!

they actually got banned HALFWAY through the season... and then made an appeal and got back into the competition...

i would like someone to explain why bonnyrigg is out now? sounds like a rash decision to make!

well, im going 2 b playing for blacktown city demons, but yeh otherwise i would withdraw my support.

I will still be writing many emails to soccerNSW. I think every serb should be doing the same. And if you will do, dont write swearwords PLEASE. it will lesson our chance and they wont take us serious.

hey, i dont think he means the new A-league, he's talking about state league......

and you dont know what its like for some people... and when their team gets kicked out of the competition, they dont want to support any other teams... because they are angry over their team being disallowed to play.

hey man, i know your cro, but you guys got kicked out of the comp half way through because of vandalism and crowd trouble.

i dont think its fair to say what your saying :) becuase we were allowed to continue during the season and you.. HAD to fight for an appeal.

so i think you might need a better reason than that. As we are still looking for one too.

and a better stadium, thats just you being a smarta$$ :blabla:

Sydney Croatia (aka Sydney CSC & Sydney United) were in the old NSL
for years unlike Bonnyrigg. Heaps of players from United have played for Australia. We have a stadium capacity of 20000 limit. Our club position is better than yours. Soccer NSW sees this and have made the right decision.

Until BWE gets there act together then they will be in the lower leauges. And
everybody knows BWE started the problems last March at United. Good luck at Blacktown BTW.

But you's are !!!!!

Look we can argue till we turn blue. Fact is the decision has been made.
You know Zagreb Hurstville had to drop down a division just to accomodate
BWE. Not fair for Zagreb. Best to keep sepearted otherwise the Arkan protagonists will stir trouble and then channel 9 & 10 vans turn up and make
us all look like stupid idiots.

Hey cool it mate, this "ethnic" stuff is bullshit, without us the Australian NT is ***ked. I do feel the same way about SOME of the people who call themselves ethnics who ruin it for everyone, hanging out in packs being wankers bagging out Australia, i hate those guys...but you CANNOT just generalise against ethnics like that. Most ethnics are just passionate people who have done a heap of good for soccer in this country. I go to an a-league game and most of the people are just sitting there munching on hotdogs....show some PASSION, thats what this country needs.

well i was @ both of those games.. and let me tell you, i honestly believe that it was both sides starting shi# man. it wasnt just one way or the other.

b4 the first game we were coming from bonnyrigg as it is a short walk to ur staidium.. on the wall over the highway from bonnrigg centre it said GO BACK OR DIE!!!!!! in graffiti.. cmon man, u know that its both ways always. noone can say their side is innocent both sides start shit. The second riot tho, we beat your team so bad, that you guys left the stadium.. and then waited for us outside...........

thats your fault for that riot at parramatta stadium.... if you guys didnt wait out the front for us, there would have been no problem!

anyway.. lets keep this out of the aus forum.. and talk about soccer? agreed?

thanks for the support @ blaktown :D

Dont worry I thought they were talking about withdrawing their support for the A-League not the NSWPL - which is fair enough if their team is kicked out I guess, they have a right to be pissed off.

Maybe you should come into Bay 23 one day and we will show u some passion!

Court backs Soccer NSW revamp
December 13, 2005 - 6:04PM

When the streamlined NSW Premier League kicks off for the first time in January, rejected teams St George Saints and Bonnyrigg White Eagles will still be out in the cold, the Supreme Court has decided.

The court threw out proceedings brought by the two clubs to declare the new 10-team competition invalid, rejecting the argument that selection procedures for the new league were unfair.

Justice Barrett awarded costs to Soccer NSW for the six days of court proceedings that started on November 22.

But the case was dismissed on a technicality and the facts were not even considered, according to the clubs' legal team.

The court found as the Saints and White Eagles were members of Soccer NSW they were bound by its constitution.

It did not matter whether the governing body "kept moving the goalposts" - as alleged by the clubs - or not, as the board had the legal power to act at its own discretion.

President of the board of Soccer NSW Tom Doumanis welcomed the court's decision in a statement, but made no mention of the reasons behind it.

"The Supreme Court's decision vindicates our initiative to introduce the new regional competition, the assessment process and the Board's courage to make what was a very difficult decision by opting for 10 clubs in the first 2 years of the new competition," Doumanis said.

But Saints president Ross Gardener vowed to fight on and will appeal against the decision as early as Thursday.

"Listening to the evidence, I thought we would win it," he said.

"The selection process was subjective not objective ... it was about soccer politics."

All teams in the existing competition were invited to apply for admission to the new league in August.

They were subject to a rigorous evaluation, which focused mainly on stadium facilities, finances and club organisation, but also looked at supporter behaviour.

The Saints believed they had met the criteria and were furious when their historic club - once home to late soccer legend Johnny Warren - missed the cut.

The Eagles made the headlines last March when their Serbian fans clashed violently with Sydney United's Croat supporters.

The violence at United's Edensor Park was cited at the time to justify the move from the old ethnically-based National Soccer League to the new A-League.

Sydney United was invited to join Marconi Stallions, APIA Leichhardt, Manly United, Bankstown City Lions, Parramatta Eagles, Sydney Olympic FC, Sutherland Sharks, Wollongong Wolves and Blacktown City Demons in the new Premier League.

The competition could expand to allow two new teams to join in 2008, Soccer NSW said.

St George Saints and Bonnyrigg White Eagles have had their appeals rejected to come into the league. They say maybe in 2008 it will expand to let another two teams in.
But why the hell should they have to wait when they are already one of the strongest and most succesful teams in the league.

[Nit]

I used to play for bjeli orlovi and im bosnian. I was told by those Croatian faggots if i stayed there i had no future cause they were in NSW league and Bonyrigg wasn't. I played for Liverpool Bossy last season and although it was great it wasn't the same in that great stadium. This year im playing for Parramatta and have been in talks with Central Coast hopefully things pan out.
