League is becoming a laughing stock |
|
Sunday 21 February 2010 |
 FORMER Newtown and Llansantffraid manager and TNS and Technogroup Welshpool general manager Graham Breeze says the organisation of the Welsh Premier League is becoming a laughing stock.
Breeze spoke to welsh-premier.com after hearing that the Bala v Llanelli game had been cancelled today.
"I have been observing from a distance the recent shambolic goings on and this week has really brought the comedy show to the fore," he said.
"The Welsh Premier League is making unbelievable and unwanted demands on semi-professional clubs yet its own behaviour has become farcical and completely unprofessional.
"This month has been a classic. Firstly the league announced that the Welshpool v The New Saints and Carmarthen v Rhyl games on Easter Monday were cancelled so that Rhyl and The New Saints could play the Loosemores League Cup Final at Airbus.

 from Hawke's Bay Today (New Zealand)
PHIL Clarke eases into the comfy chair of the interview room.
Like a moggy curling up in front of a roaring fire in winter, the Hawke's Bay United soccer player adjusts his 74kg frame before engaging in the question-answer ritual.
It's not easy to decipher his Liverpudlian accent but he has no qualms about hitting the rewind button to massage his words.
What he reveals, though, about Toxteth, the inner city area of Liverpool on the Merseyside of England, needs no interpretation.
"It's a slummy, black-populated area. You are already labelled even before you kick a ball,'' the 21-year-old midfielder tells SportToday before their New Zealand Football Championship (NZFC) match against YoungHeart Manawatu in Napier on Sunday.

WITH the big freeze having had a destructive effect on soccer fixtures across Wales of late, the inevitable debate on whether summer football is the way forward has reared its head again.
Welsh Premier secretary John Deakin, a long-time supporter of a summer switch, recently said it would be the best thing that could happen to the league.
And WPL chairman Phil Woosnam recently told S4Cs Sgorio a winter break for the league was a definite future possibility.
"We may look at the possibility of having a mid-winter break for say a couple of months and extending the season into May and June," said Woosnam. "I believe that would be a way of helping our European campaigns in the future because we haven't been very successful to date and a lot of that is due to the fact that it is out of season. But, if we did extend the season, that would help because the players would be match fit."
