This part of this article is incredible. Parents “providing feedback” to young umpires over “crucial calls”. This is 8 year old netball. There are no crucial calls. The fact this parent thinks that’s OK is exactly why we have this problem. nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plenty…

Well, sir, on announcing my resignation mid game, I naturally promoted myself to opener and got caught at mid on slogging; that's my style, sir!

Here's an idea for how to fix this: From the moment a corner is kicked until either the keeper has it in hands or the ball is cleared from the box, nothing is a foul. Shoving, grappling, punching, anything goes.

This angle is disgraceful, we were robbed. Pablo is literally being wrestled, not to mention the other fouls from Arsenal players there. VAR is a plague to the beautiful game, so sick of inconsistent biased officiating.

Further question: is there any evidence people outside NZ would care enough about it to create meaningful revenue? How closely do New Zealanders follow the BPL, PSL etc
Adam Bell 🇳🇿🇮🇹@AdamKerrBellMar 23
Questions regarding NZ20 Will NZ fans embrace a franchise concept? Do NZ have enough passionate fans to sustain a comp? If the window is in January, how will it attract overseas players, especially considering it would clash with BBL and SA20? Will grassroots benefit?

Everybody acts real concerned about the loneliness epidemic. God forbid some young men want to hug their opponents on a corner kick. Pick a side.
