BobBobSuperBob Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I seriously think the worlds gone crackers at times No wonder we produce so few winners the namby pamby brigade are wrangling this country of ours !!!! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3351276/Football-chiefs-ban-local-newspapers-printing-results-children-s-matches-case-upsets-losing-teams.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowshed Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 The reason results are not published is because they serve no purpose.Kids football at U7/8/9's etc has no league tables and is mixed between development matches and competitive matches where the total scores of two matches are combined e.g. 7-1 + 4-4 = 11-5. Those results go to placing sides into bands to prevent 25 - 0 happening the season after. So that That article is complete shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 In Sweden they didn't just outlaw the printing of results in papers. They outlawed the actual results. Perhaps it was in retaliation after Swedens women football team lost against some local youth team in Stockholm. They played no further after coming 3-0 down. Next step will be to outlaw all men. Especially if they play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Takes me back to school days. I remember in assembly on a Monday the Head would read out the Saturdays school results (Chipping Sodbury Grammar). We had a good side in the mid 60's and quite often dicked other schools. The old Head would say " CSGS beat xxxxx by a substantial score". He must have been ahead of his time ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we always came back fighting . Cowboys and Indians , with real weapons., well, cap guns and arrows with little suckers that often fell off . Today's kids don't need an imagination because everything is there for them in their video games . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richwwtk Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I thought football was supposed to be non-competitive these days at those ages? In that case, publishing results would only be counter-productive and encourage people to make it competitive. If not being competitive at that level is accepted (and I'm undecided on that) then it makes perfect sense not to publish any results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the kids learn to play the game ie ball skills and passing should be second nature long before they start worrying about results. I used to live next to a playing field with five pitches and saturday mornings were filled with the sound of rabidly competitive parents on the sidelines screaming at them to get rid of the ball to the big lad up front. The results of this thinking in British football can be detected right up to International level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowshed Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Southstandoriginal see it frequently. Teams wanting to win at all costs. Getting the biggest fastest kids they can. Big ball straight down the pitch, even to the degree of seeing keepers smash the ball off the other end of the pitch for a goal kick at under nines level. Its totally self defeating in the long term. Here the FA have got it right. Kids teams need to develop, it shouldn't be case of changing the small skillful kid for one who is a foot taller because he will help to get a result now. The idea is that coaches can play kids in different positions, helping them to become more rounded in the long term, and the result does not matter. X amount of games a season are competitive, but the results are simply used to stream the teams to provide balance and challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 No kid should be allowed to play for ANY official team if he can't pass or trap a ball properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
