@NorthRidingFA hi guys, my girls are still waiting for this, great thing to do but I haven't heard back from you.

[Mark Smith @SmigBWR]

@BoothamFutsal @FA_NFS @NorthRidingFA @FutsalRt @CYC_YorkSalTeam @EnglandFutsal Amazing news, good luck to them all. 👏👏👏

[Mark Smith @SmigBWR]

I totally agree in a club setting, what parents do away from the club is different. 👏

Congratulations to Boro Rangers, I'm extremely proud of my Bish girls, a true grassroots team full of spirt and smiles against a high performing elite JPL team. only 2-0 at half time, and indeed for the first 50 mins. 💜⚽️#grassroots @BishWRFC

A terrific Boro Rangers performance as they lift the North Riding U15 Junior Girls Cup final (sponsored by Construction Marine Ltd) 🙌

[Mark Smith @SmigBWR]

We had a fantastic evening last night at the u15 Girls final, but where are the live updates for their game?? 🤷‍♂️ seems the girls have been left out?

@Brink_Thinker totally off the wall stupid, the lift car is safe until someone does this sort of thing, then it becomes a high risk, even fatal situation.

[Mark Smith @SmigBWR]

@Teamgrassroots_ poor behaviour by everyone

[Mark Smith @SmigBWR]

@Coach_Temisan absolutely! the lack of F2F courses and CPD F2F has reduced the quality of coaches and their attitudes/behaviours.

[Mark Smith @SmigBWR]

@Secretgrassroo2 The problem is all the plastic academy "teams" aren't actually academies, but play JPL so are a "higher standard" and can dual sign so when they stop for summer/xmas/no game, the ego coaches at their former teams give them game time over the kids who have played all season.

@bo66ie29 the price !

[Mark Smith @SmigBWR]

@BullenDP @TheS_Resource whilst I understand your feedback Darren, the poll set out wasn't asking about the various ways equal game time could be impacted, hence my view point.
The argument of if a child wants to be there at all, based on perceived effort etc, is a totally different conversation/poll 👍
