I was a guest on the @SCFootballholic this week. Talked with @jarrodpollard99 and @barto0612 about the Illawarra Premier League and the @FSC_Official men's premiership restructure ideas I recently put forward on @TheIPLInformer. https://t.co/PUpYr1NoCu

The Illawarra football pyramid is in need of a shakeup.

It needs a restructure which emphasises quality over quantity and creates more competition and consequences. https://t.co/agfZNTwrZi

[Dylan Arvela @dylanarvela]

The extension of the lockdown to at least the end of September is the final nail in the coffin of the @FSC_Official 2021 season. Expect all leagues to be declared void. We could end up having around 7-8 months without local football. Inevitable, but still sad.

"I wanted to have a new experience and it is a club with a strong connection with Japan."

Ex-@WollongongUtd maestro @kazuto_kushida has travelled halfway around the world for his next challenge with the Solitlo @BrightStarsFC. https://t.co/3wcjzl9Vv6

"Having this means I've had to look at what capacity I'll be involved in football in the future."

Former Illawarra Premier League ace Matt McNab has caught the eye in Darwin and is having an impact with @FootballNT. https://t.co/0xJimodR4r

"Ceccers brought another level of professionalism to the sheds."

It's one of the most intriguing coaching appointments in the history of the Illawarra Premier League, but it also signals the end of Alvin Ceccoli's extraordinary playing career. https://t.co/NweNfyxM6Q

The 2021 @illawarramerc Premier League season is upon us with the competition set to kick off on Friday night. We go through the changes at each club and how they're shaping up for the new campaign.

"Here’s their opportunity... it’s my role to provide a framework for them to be the best they can."

It's a case of a new coach and a new squad for the Bellambi in 2021. https://t.co/tjG9Bea2ck

This was a really fascinating interview. Mack's career is perhaps the most diverse of any players to reach the IPL. He has big wraps from a former Dandaloo star so I'm very much looking forward to seeing how he performs.

“I was actually quite surprised. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it is."

#USVI captain JC Mack is set to be the latest international to play in the Illawarra Premier League after linking up with the Albion Park White Eagles. https://t.co/s2Fv7p4VxF

"I'm good friends with @jacobtimpano and he said to me, 'That’s the signing of the year.'"

@bullifc are staking an early claim as one of the favourites for this year's title with key signings on song in preseason. https://t.co/bHq5d4qeTZ

One of Illawarra football's greatest stories has been chronicled in a new ebook by @dylanarvela.

"What they did is truly special and it will be remembered by not just @WoononaFC, but Illawarra football followers for decades to come.” https://t.co/GcMfajm4Db

"There’s always only one goal for a season if you’re being honest."

Helensburgh have shown their intent by appointing Andrew Paine for their 125th year. https://t.co/4SdDacff34

[Dylan Arvela @dylanarvela]

Last night the FSC Men's Football Council put to clubs that there would be five subs in IPL and IDL first grade and second grade in 2021. I understand some (mostly IPL) clubs weren't completely onboard with this move and there'll be a vote at a later date.

[The IPL Informer @TheIPLInformer]

Seven clubs are represented in The IPL Informer team of the season with @WoononaFC and @WollongongUtd dominating the selections.

Thoughts? https://t.co/3gPYA3GcJ7

[Dylan Arvela @dylanarvela]

I'm putting out @TheIPLInformer team of the season tomorrow.

There's a stack of players to pick from, but only 16 spots to work them into. Probably playing 433...

Keep an eye out in the AM. 👀
