Any clubs that post friendly results are absolute wrong uns
Nobody knows what teams are playing, what the motives of each team are etc
Give your heads a wobble if you’re posting results!
I really hope we get to hear from
@CantonFballClub
and their manager tonight!
Very quick to tell us all how amazing their club and players are week in week out!
Let’s see on this one
This can’t be a surprise and anyone thinking that
@LlantwitMajorFC
are pulling the trigger early neither knows the club or the situation.
It would be impossible for someone to commit to a Tier 1 women and Tier 2 men’s side and give it the dedication it deserves for both!
@GwentFC
@FAWales
How about getting players to stop verbally abusing referees and then there will be no reason to use them! Isn’t that the point. To deter players and not to use the cards 🤷🏼
@PremierWales
@AllWalesSport
This has 100% been the best thing that has happened to football in West Wales the past 2 years.
Given clubs ambition and bridged the gaps between local league and Welsh League.
Da Iawn. Looking forward to hopefully getting to a few games this season!
@CTAFCWomen
At least 6 of your starting line up are first team players
Do you think posting the result like this has any benefit in developing the female game?
@sgorio
@SwansWomen
@CardiffCityFCW
A very bitter interview from a side who has had it all their own way in recent seasons. A resurgent Swansea now challenging again after a few barren years.
Terrible interview and has now put a lot of pressure on himself and his players!
@Remi_Whitelock
Blokes a very good footballer! That’s all the Welsh footballing public need to know.
No need to mix it with his personal life and the establishment could have waited 10 minutes to not bring this to everyone’s door!
@Jordan_Fox95
Then the clubs should not be paying the players and staff the kinds of wages that they currently are.
You can’t have it both ways. You’re either amateur or not!
@Jude_Macdonald
A yellow card for the tackle was fair. A mistimed foul but that’s all it was. If you want a red card for every tackle then it’ll end up 7 a side!
2 games taken on this weekend
@LlanelliReds
v
@PontardaweTown
Friday night. Was a bit disappointed with The Reds against a very young Ponty side. But managed to find a way through. Need to get new signings involved.
Highlights the success of the academy at Pontardawe (1/2)
Fantastic start to the season for
@BFLLAFC
and great to see young talent like Maia Owen progressing from the FAW Academy.
Their first cohort to make their way into the senior game and hopefully many more to come over the coming years!
What is going on
@PontyUnitedM
@PontyUnitedW
. Both have failed Tier 1 licences with the best facilities outside of the Pro game. Both teams semi professional. Both in the relegation zones despite the license failures.
There has to be more to this than is being publicised
Most exciting part of last nights
@bflafc
v
@swans_academy
was the kids scrapping in the stands. Ferry were disappointing and didn’t lay a glove on the young Swans.
Red card was cowardly and a disgrace from Hutin, and gave the official no choice.
Why is Met v Ponty off?
Big shout out to all the
@CymruLeagues
and local council ground staff this weekend who got games on with the amount of rain we had particularly Thursday and Friday. Unsung work but vital to our competitions (3G pitches not included 😂
Particular mention
@CPDLidoAfan
for 2 games
Amazing how many of these absolute amazing sessions and how many ballers people have signed have actually turned out to be complete bollocks now the season has started!
Some very quiet managers on social media tonight!
#tweetwhenwewin
@CTAFCWomen
The majority of the opposition were playing their first EVER competitive games.
Take the win gracefully and move on without the need to humiliate others for your social media gain!
@Danewill1
@FAWales
You’ll probably find the The Uni Team had extensions to missed paperwork deadlines when they applied for their Tier 1 licence 2 years ago.
But FAW staff went to Uni there and they need somewhere to house their programmes.
Allegedly!
Hearing rumours today that
@PontyUnitedM
may have further breached FAW rules regarding payments to players!
If that’s the case then there is absolutely no excuse for it after already being warned!
Watch this space on this one!
@Coachability_
Not playing well and winning will require some different skill sets. These should not be neglected either. Things like determination, resilliance, hard work. All fundamental ethics that can develop more when you’re not playing well.
Not every team can play like Man City
@AberBluebirdsFC
are absolutely awful!
Their GK needs to stop thinking he’s chocolate and start making some saves.
What a poor side and have added absolutely nothing to the league since promotion apart from a picturesque ground!
@kofirowe
@GoytreUtd
Thought they were your team forever. Not playing are you?
Another bull shit who thinks he’s some kind of pro footballer!
Give it a rest on socials and just play the game
Best thing about todays opening weekend in the
@AdranLeagues
. Not the 5 goals from Alison Witts or newly promoted Cwmbran Celtic getting an opening day win.
But…….. BALLGATE. Would the culprit please own up so we can all concentrate on football again!
Can’t help but think that the
@CymruLeagues
Cymru South is extremely tight, with multiple teams able to take points off each other. But
@bflafc
will win it due to having by far the best forwards in the league (Bowen, Walters, Bull, Brock)
That will be the difference
@sgorio
Every week it’s the same from
@PontyUnitedM
. It’s always somebody else. The referee, injuries. Now external factors that are brought about by the club and those in charge
Excuse after excuse. And not one bit of accountability from anybody within the club!
5 goals in 16 games
Have
@NewportCity_FC
dropped their women’s team for this season after a successful season last season? Can’t see them in the current
@swwgl
Combined fixtures?
@YClwbPelDroed
I think it’s very sensible for all clubs to go through the application process this year. With the CPL expansion and extra promotion places it will give them 12 months to work on what they need to put in place!
@TheWelshDragon9
Why couldn’t you do
FAW Youth Cup
FAW Women’s Cup
FAW Amateur Cup
FAW Cup
Any mixture of the 4. Would provide a decent attendance throughout the day!
Please ALL Men
If there’s one thing you do today. Watch this and check in on your mates
Despite what people may think - the stigma surrounding male mental health still exists.
Please support each other. It’s OK not to be OK
Some great comebacks and late drama in the
@CymruLeagues
tonight. Felt for
@Taffswellfc
who I thought deserved more tonight. Think it’s going to be a tough season for them!
@CPDLidoAfan
on 🔥 still! And
@CambrianBgc
going about their business slightly under the radar!
@BarryTownUnited
@kendscoach
There’s got to be more to this. I’m sure
@kendscoach
wouldn’t just walk away with 2 weeks to go.
Unless there’s a Football League job on the table, then the club need to be honest with the reasoning behind this!
A fantastic job done in a short space of time!
@IanParfitt
@swans_academy
I don’t think you can call that a top Cymru south team.
No Gammond, Walters, Brock, Bowen, Payne, Williams. Down to 10 after 25 minutes.
Would have liked to see Ferry have a go at it but was never going to happen with the conflict of interest an added element! (One for the FAW)
@4pillarscoach
Unfortunately there are too many clubs and coaches out there more concerned with filling their squads than the players who fill them. False promises and no care for the progression of the individual
It’s a status thing and unfortunately too many players and parents go with it!
@1BlackWhiteArmy
@westwaleswgl
@AmmanfordLadies
@FAWales
Surely it’s not even that difficult. Every match day there would be a team without a game, so they now play the new team.
Could be sorted in about 20 minutes! And then just need rescheduling of the opening 2 weekends for the new teams.
Sone teams haven’t played yet anyway
Once again another week where more & more managers / coaches are picking up bookings and sending offs
Is this
1) a badges culture where they think they know everything
2) lack of discipline from coaches under pressure due to big budgets and wages being paid
3) poor officials
@CymruLeagues
To be fair. All clubs know when the 2 registration periods are. If they are not registered during those periods then as a club you would know that they are ineligible for that competition!
Here’s hoping that Leighton James makes a recovery from his current illness
Always kind and available for a chat whenever I met him. And was very kind In a moment of need for my own family!
Stay Strong.
It’s amazing how many clubs give it large in pre season
- great training sessions
- unbelievable signings
- friendly victories
Once the first competitive game comes along………
Silence 🤫
Sad to hear of the passing of Leighton James. Knew him personally and although could be a tough character, was always good to be around! A Swansea and Wales Legend. RIP Leighton
@FAWales
I think some resignations
@PontyUnitedM
need to happen as a result of this.
How can a Director of Football with links to USW allow this to happen
How can a chairman be classed as a fit and proper person and this to happen.
People need to be brought to justice on this too!
@CwmbranCeltic
v
@Taffswellfc
. Was expecting a convincing win for Celtic with Taffs losing a large amount of their squad. But another highlight of an academy producing players and should never have gone to penalties.
Celtic disappointing. Can only get better
I think it’s an extremely sad situation when a club takes their men’s team to Spain on a pre season camp yet their 2 women’s teams, who have been there for a number of years feel the need to move to another club!
Supposed to be the club for the City of Newport!
@sionmisra
@YClwbPelDroed
They employed a head of women’s football who was absolutely clueless! A textbook coach that has failed everywhere he has ever been!
And now Met are having to pick up the pieces
@PontyUnitedM
And to laugh in the faces of the
@FAWales
say how they are preparing for the MG Cup despite knowing that the ineligible player played against
@LlanelliReds
.
That is laughing in the faces of everyone in plain sight!
@sionmisra
@CoedDuonWFC
@YClwbPelDroed
There is very much a difference between a team who have actually been demoted and a team that starts new (who aren’t demoted).
Good to see a club not go to authorities complaining but put the work In on the pitch to get back to their rightful place. Good luck
@CoedDuonWFC
@NewportCity_FC
@swwgl
It was a question asked as there had been no announcementI With all your media team.
With a club spending so much money, maybe it’s not reciprocated towards support of the women’s section so felt a need to move
Only you know the truth!
@NewportCity_FC
@trefelinbgc
Happy to call people out but not happy to discuss but want names and numbers!
Because someone dared to say they thought your prices for the standard being played are too high!
Very grown up behaviour
@CymruLeagues
@CamUtdMen
This could be the closest season for some time at both ends of the table with a number of teams capable of winning the title and just as many threatened by relegation!
Strap yourselves in!
@CDFW_Reds
@CDFWanderersFC
@swwgl
I hope these players are staying together into senior football and building a club and not being cherry picked with false promises from so called bigger clubs!
@09bridgey
@FAWales
The answers are quite simple Lee. There was a club down the road that had finished bottom of most age groups for 2 years that the FAW needed to be achieving for their facility. Only way to do that was to eliminate the competition in the area!
So sad to hear of the passing of
@andrewgomer
this morning. A fantastic character of Welsh Football who will be sadly missed by all that knew him! Was fantastic to work with and always a good chat around the grounds following Welsh League Football
RIP Gomer! 💔
@PontardaweTown
@PontyLFC
This is how you do pre season. Open training sessions. Not TRIALS like I’ve seen at other clubs in the pyramid.
Da iawn merched 👏🏻 ⚽️
Is there a place for play offs in each league and then a North / South fixture for a 3rd promotion place. Will keep things interesting to the end of season?
@Vaughany1973
@xkellythomasx
@sionmisra
@gavall10
Surely if a club used the tagline
#oneclub
as Ponty do, then there is a link between their men and women’s team.
It’s ironic to say that Aber are wrong for not thinking about the men and women as one club yet in the same breath saying that Ponty have no link between the 2!
@C_Clarke99
@AbergavennyTFC
Leaving a sinking ship. Only 2 weeks ago you posted of regaining your sharpness. What can change in 2 weeks?
Strange comments to make so soon!
People calling for the CPL to go regional is an absolute joke and will take away any integrity of a national league.
No other premier league in Europe is split on geographical location and I’m sure would have qualification ramifications for European competition
@CardiffReferees
About time
Imo a fantastic referee who you could always speak to. A rare breed these days. There have been many promoted who aren’t as competent!!
Good luck Jordan
@PontyUnitedM
This is a joke of a statement and even takes the piss out of the whole thing.
Claiming there were no financial irregularities even though they were found guilty of not paying players and not honouring contracts.
Paying somebody way above the amateur expenses for 2 seasons.
@MerthyrTownFC
@MTFCWomen
Would have been much more credible if you’d told the truth on this situation rather than hanging your former players and manager out to dry!
@TonyrefailWelf1
@swwgl
@AllWalesSport
@FAWales
How is this even possible in a Tier 3 division? Why were so many clubs promoted from the SWWGL when there are better in the WWWGL that weren’t (Ammanford for example)!
Hopefully there will be stability from next season and clubs will be in their rightful divisions
@morriston_women
How can any club be ‘denied’ entry to a league.
Surely anyone who wishes to enter should be allowed to. Leagues have a duty to promote the game for EVERYONE.
@westwaleswgl
should be ashamed of themselves on this issue.
I hope those in charge are reprimanded.
Good Luck!
@adranleaguesfan
What are the FACTS?
Not just opinions of players who may have fallen out of favour!! There still seems to be a whole squad playing for a manager which surely wouldn’t be the case
@DigitisedLipstk
@Lionesses
@FAWales
Whereas you can coach at one of the boys academies and pick up money for training and games, or work in the men’s game and get paid for coaching down to Tier 4.
As a coach, there are VERY few who would put in so much commitment for no reward.
@CascadeLadies
should be embarrassed about what they have done tonight.
And whoever their safeguarding / welfare officer is really not doing their job or having any concern for the long term impact on their players!
Hope the girls who did play can carry on enjoying playing
