Hi there was wondering if any clubs were still after players?

Its a bit niche, but New Lambton are in the market for goalkeepers if the shoe (glove) fits.

Goalkeepers are overated

[HAFC_ZL]

Hamilton Azzurri ZPL still have goalkeeper positions available.

Anybody interested should contact Head Coach Thom Kane on 0432 097 729.

So does another team come up from ZL2 to replace Advance?

Will be hard for a club to get a 3rd grade team up this late, unless they have an all age team ready to go

[reddevil17]

As coach of merewether where do u hear this stuff ? We aren’t going up……

[evolution]

Heard Lake Macquarie are taking their place.

They are advertising for players for ZL1 on their Facebook page so I'd say that's the case.

[Undertaker]

Lakes have gone to ZL1 Westlakes Wildcats to be promoted to ZPL. Are the rumours

Lake Macquarie FC ZL1 Open Training Session/Trial

Are we picking a team out of a hat? Every team has been mentioned

[Cowboy Lesnar]

Stockton beat Medowie 15-0 in a trial, so I hope they are the team to go up

How did Merewether go against Croatia?

[Robbery]

How did Merewether go against Croatia?

Was 2-1 in Reserves and 8-0 in Firsts. I wasn't there but the boys said it was one of those where everything went in for us after a close start to the game and they missed a decent amount of good chances so the score line didn't reflect the closeness of the game. We have Warners Bay this weekend in three grades.

Anyone still looking for trials? 2 grades Saturday 19th. South Maitland ZL2. We have a ground booked but opponents fell through unfortunately. Message 0410 189 333

Anyone know the reason why we're not getting referees in ZL1, but games in ZL3 are being supplied with 3?
I'm aware we're losing referees and we're running low on them, I just assumed they'd fill from top to bottom?

A lot of it is down to when you play and referee availability.Most referees are only available one day now-some play and some actually want a family life.

Because teams still insist on playing on Saturday despite numerous requests from Brad Carlin to play on Sunday or Friday.
It's been made clear as day for several years now, if you want to play on Saturday that is fine but you run the risk of not getting refs.

[Thomas477]

This, plus what Premy said as well. There are too many games across the board from npl to junior nl1 being played on saturdays which mean the numbers are stretched as is.

[namwob99]

Appreciate the replies lads.
I 100% understand the Saturdays issue. That day just works better for most clubs I guess and with the available refs having lives etc, it's gonna be tough.
My question was more to the filling from 3s rather than 1s side of it tbh.

Can also make more sense when you only have 2 refs to fill ZL 2/3 so one does each game, rather than just ressies and firsts, or if you have 3 refs, the 3rd is likely to be a young ref, so just having them do 2 lines.

our game against Olympic on the weekend had no refs. surprising to me hearing about ZL3 having 3 refs especially when u consider our game was at Islington park (not like we're at Muswellbrook or something). very strange how these things are scheduled but i dont know too much about the inner workings of newcastle football


edit: just saw some others explain why so now I get it

Just for clarity.
Were both fixtures you are referencing played on Saturday? I.e was the ZL3 fixture you are referring to that got 3 refs, played on a Saturday? Also was the ZL1 fixture you are referring to played on that same day?

Yeah, sure was mate.

[riverboy]

Too many dropkicks in zone league. Referees are probably getting sick and tired of copping the same crap week after week, year after year without real sanctions to offenders. Some of the coaches are the main offenders..

That's why there is so few referees.

[ExWhistleMan]

Can confirm, except I'd extend it too all of football in NNSW in general (and probably everywhere else, but just drawing on my own experience). Obviously not everyone, but 8 decent people don't make up for the 3 ****wits that exist in every team. Nothing will change until team mates and clubs hold the nufties to account.

EDIT: Clubs, team mates and associations. Miniscule punishments and the lack of backing referees is a joke. Only ever pay lip service then wonder why they struggle to recruit/retain referees

There’s too many drop kicks across the sport in general from the top down. Just look at the language professionals use, that then trickles down to juniors. I have to say though, at least in zone league and all ages, players are generally reasonable.

Having reffed zone league and now back playing All Age, I don't know where you are finding these reasonable players. It is still too rare to see team mates tell each other to shut their mouths and move on.
This is particularly true when club refs are stepping in to help, I witnessed a team abuse the **** out of the club ref they put on because he made some small mistakes. Without some changes in how everyone acts (IMO starting with the coaches telling their player to be respectful) we will only keep losings refs.

Sorry, I should’ve prefaced it by saying they’re reasonable compared to the carry on in npl and newfm. But I’ll throw out a club I reffed regularly last year, Wallsend zl1 1st grade was generally a good bunch of blokes who got on with it. Hamilton’s ressies were mostly okay too the past few years. Few dickheads, but majority fine. As opposed to an npl18s match I did a few years ago where I gave out 9 cards to 1 team, 6 of which were for dissent.

But yeah, I agree. Teams and clubs need to start policing their own, especially spectators. How many times do you see “duty officers” doing **** all?

I think the “stacked” is being thrown around a bit. Maybe they recruited well that good players are playing in lower grades. Maybe good players can only play lower grades due to commitments etc.

yeh we both know who that, just sick of these uninformed throwing names into the mix without being able to back it up...this convo comes up every year

I don't think it was deliberate. But it's funny the clubs that knowingly pay never get mentioned and others that don't pay do get mentioned.
It's been evident over the years that clubs pay players and that's not sustainable. As soon as it stops, the wheels fall off. The strong clubs year in, year out create a good club culture and keep core players together.

Pretty excited to see a ZPL comp featuring Olympic next year if things continue as they are. They've been floating around in this division for a number of years now. Great addition to an already brilliant ZPL comp.

[WeekendWarrior]

but paid regos is paying players... only 5 or so years back I was at a ZPL club offering $$$ a win in firsts for all players while at the same time had a mate at cardiff on free rego and boots thrown his way. end of the day he would've ended up just as well off

maybe here olympic want to have their 2s up as high up as possible to be a strong club across senior football

so they paid you then took it all back for rego etc??? just like they do in the NPL etc,

boots thrown his way, well i can tell you the club didn't pay for that.

if you want to say paying regos as paying players, fine, i dont look at it that way and you would find that is the normal across ZPL.

there are some clubs who pay cash, for appearances, sign on's, goals etc, on top of regos, now that's paying players.

[Buddha]

I don't think it was deliberate. But it's funny the clubs that knowingly pay never get mentioned and others that don't pay do get mentioned.
It's been evident over the years that clubs pay players and that's not sustainable. As soon as it stops, the wheels fall off. The strong clubs year in, year out create a good club culture and keep core players together.

Pretty excited to see a ZPL comp featuring Olympic next year if things continue as they are. They've been floating around in this division for a number of years now. Great addition to an already brilliant ZPL comp.

I have heard they are not keen to take up the promotion. Rumours of course

Very strong rumours of another club in ZL3 however who offered one of the strikers at Suns to the tune of $5k to come over and play for them this season. In fact the player confirmed this to me when i asked him about it a week or so ago.

Couldn’t be further from the truth. These guys are all mates from school that have come together to play for the club for kick about. They spend all their time at the pub and don’t even train, let alone pay players. Only ZL3 team throwing cash about is Croats, that I’ve heard of anyway. Raymond Terrace used throw some about when they were higher up the ZL pyramid. Not sure about now though.

When i was at Raymond Terrace years ago, some 15 years ago now prob, we got a win bonus in 1st Grade ($50) and any local juniors coming up in grade would get their regos paid by the club which imo was a great incentive.

Very hard to believe. Why would they when they already have the best front 3/4 in all of ZPL!

[WWFC25]

We seem to carry on about clubs paying players every year and tbh it shouldn’t matter what division and what club, if you want to pay players and can afford to pay them then go your hardest. Every club should be able to incentivise players however they wish whether it be rego, win bonus or season payment.

Over at Westlakes we do a rego subsidy system where every game you play, attendance to post match sponsor for drinks and training session you do is worth a set amount of dollars. If you attend every single one then you recoup the entire rego you paid out at the start of the year.

The reason we did it this way is because it applies to every Zone League rego and not just first grade or star players. So it’s equitable and entices as many as possible to join us.

Something new for this year that the committee thought to try and had the means to due to a new major sponsor.
As far as I know there hasn't been any payments or rego concessions at all (excluding financial hardship etc) previously.

With cards on the table, I'm curious which other clubs are putting money into the squad. A few mentions of paying regos - is this for a few select players, first graders, squad wide, long tenures?
Would the vast majority of ZPL teams be doing this, only a couple? I'd be guessing in ZL1 and below it would be pretty rare but maybe a few clubs still investing some $

Norths fans were calling the opposition faggots and abusive the club referee any chance they got. 2 people on the Norths bench including their coach were sent from the field it was that bad.

100%. No difference between a clubbie and an official ref except the official refs dedicate their time to attend seminars, coaching and training sessions, as well as week in week out. Most ZL refs have to do three games each day, every week. Imagine players doing that week in, week out!

Problems come from the top imo. Any kid, parent, coach or anything watching EPL or even A League games on TV. See a decision made around the box or a penalty or anything, get surrounded by a group of players yelling, gesticulating, touching the ref. You see Klopp on the sidelines going crazy at bloody throw in decisions let alone big moments, Guardiola remonstrating and dancing around. What happens? Nothing, in most instances.

Referees See this too, and sadly think some degree of this is normal. When I was involved I was definitely pretty lenient with some of the dissent received. I thought it was petty to give yellows, and I thought it was a sign of weakness that I couldn't handle the pressure of being a referee if I was giving out yellows for people having a go at me and my decisions. This was also developed by working with senior refs in my first few years that basically chucked some ear plugs in pre game and didn’t respond to any of the things being said to them.

Compare it to Rugby or Rugby League. Players are sin binned and suspended for calling the ref a cheat in a very casual manner. Everyone is usually very respectful of the referee and question decisions appropriately. “Sir, …..”. They are also incredibly accepting of decisions and bad/wrong decisions.

Even though it comes from the top. Change can be made from the bottom.
Some Sydney comps basically do whatever they want with rules, in order to address issues. Yellow card 5 min sin bin for dissent, team plays a man down for 5. Forced substitution for the rest of the half. 3+ dissent yellows in a game results in loss of comp points. 3 strike player yellows for dissent over season. 5+ yellows for dissent for the team over the season results in points deduction. Fighting automatic 5 week suspension.


I think as a whole, there should be multiple memos sent to clubs. This season there will be a crackdown on dissent. Enforce it liberally in preseason games to set a tone for what’s acceptable. Then referees need to feel empowered and supported to punish dissent. With universal support and transparency with clubs, I don’t think anyone can argue. The rules are there to promote respect.

I’d love to see assessor’s act in a 4th official capacity to be able to sanction coaches and provide additional support to referees in those matches.

The biggest thing impact all of these dream actions is numbers. Nobody wants to stick around long term to spent your whole weekend running around getting abused. It wears thin pretty quick. If you worked your job and constantly got spoken to like referees do, you’d be quitting pretty soon.
If the attitude towards referees can be improved, it becomes more attractive role, more referees stay, more join, more coverage for games and allows the ability to put better referees on appropriate games. Win win for everyone.

[islington]

Wow Wallsend go from beating top to drawing with bottom makes me wonder as to what happened in both games

Olympic had a player sent off in the second half at 1-1, were never getting back in to the game after that. Wallsend played well and deserved the three points

[WeekendWarrior]

Forced substitution for the rest of the half. 3+ dissent yellows in a game results in loss of comp points. 3 strike player yellows for dissent over season. 5+ yellows for dissent for the team over the season results in points deduction. Fighting automatic 5 week suspension.

I agree we need to make improvements to the game here all too often are 2s and 3s without referees. My only concern from this approach is from experience in other comps. Seen referees with power trips card / sin bin anyone who even opens their mouth. I remember a perfect example where 2 attackers on my team scored from a quick long ball counter attack but denied through an offside call and one asked "was it me or him who was off" ref instantly sin binned. He hadn't yelled or swore or dissent and up until that point no one had a run in with the ref. Many other examples during that season. So if it went down that path good standards need to be set so short fuses don't end with a team being hit with out of the blue punishments.
