Mayfield v Cooks Hill OFF Today
Barnsley v Wallsend
1st Barns 2 - Wallsend 5 or 6
res 2-3 Walls on scoreboard
3rd 0-3 Walls "
i think these scores are correct.
Barnsley had 2 sent off in the 1st half. i got there late when the 2nd went. didnt see it but told dissent?
that new drainage made it playable. big thanks to the young Barnsley reserve for having a kick with my youngun so i could get some shots.
As a referee myself, there's different types of swearing. There's swearing if you **** up, acceptable, swearing at an opposition, and swearing at the ref.
Dependant on the level of the swearing at the opposite, I would say it could warrant a red, swear at the ref and you're off.
Not one word directed at ref, players told other player to **** off, no more worse the 50 to 100 times I myself swore without even a warning, definite double standard. Even funny that the wallsend coach offered to give a statement and recommend we report the ref for such poor officiating during the first half even before the two dodgy pens against them.
Not one bloke from our team swore directly at the ref to receive a straight red. Or even the offensive language directed at another team in this case wallsend was a straight red card, a yellow(warning) would be fine. We all cop language every week whether its a bad tackle etc. lets just say the referee treated today's game as an under 10s game and wrecked a potential great game.
So you were on the ground and heard exactly what was said then, I'm sure the ref told you what he wanted you to hear. It really is amazing that to you a referee is never wrong, you constantly defend abysmal refereeing displays on this forum. But that just the typical ref in you cant amit errors.
I didn't ask if you were at the ground I said were you on the field to hear exactly what was said, players can ask questions without being offensive! And I think you need to go back and read what you always write as everytime someone writes on here about rubbish refereeing you jump in and say the ref was write never ADMIT they we shit and wrong. If you weren't on the field the only way you could know what was said and what the red card was for is you must have spoken to the ref and if you didn't then your just assuming you know what happened, an just defending his rubbish performance because you always think surely the ref can't be wrong his a ref they're never wrong players are always the ones who stuff up and cause the issues.
I for one was on the field when this language was thrown out.
The player who received the first red card said, F**king C**t. Now in my opinion regardless of whether it was directed at a player or referee, that kind of language is completely unacceptable. You have kids, family, friends watching the games, although it is a semi-professional league, it is still in some way professional. I totally agree with the referee's decision.
The second red card, the player called the referee a F**king joke twice. Now after the first time, the ref decided to ignore it, but the player immediately repeated himself and hence the red card followed. I don't know what sort of player can call a referee a f**king joke to his face twice and expect nothing to come of it, but the red card was definitely deserved.
Would love to go against you in a court room if you would take such poor and incorrect info as you evidence just shows that you didn't hear and still have no idea what was said, just keep dreaming that you referees are never wrong. Petty use always manage to ruin this great sport by trying to be bigger then it. Just remember games still go ahead without refs, but if there's no players then it's just three idiots standing in a paddock thinking there never wrong, bet they wouldn't get many of the spectators to watch that
would prefer to rely on the word of darthmuller who WAS on the field.Just goes to show that your players are either deaf or handle the truth very carelessly.The words relayed by darth are exactly what I heard from another source who was on the field-not the referee.My last comment on this subject.
Ever reffed bulldog?
By that, I mean participated in a official referees coaching course where you actually have to know the laws of the game and put them into practice?
Do you go to work and get called a f-ing joke? A f-ing c-***? Do you complain at a restaurant when they get your order wrong and call them those words?
What makes it acceptable on a patch of grass?
If you don't want a ref, ask not to have one, I'm sure there's a heap of team that would kill for a ref on a weekend.
These blokes and girls, give up their time to give something back and enable others to play the game?
I concede, referees can make some horrible decisions. You see it in every code. Every game. What's one big reason that causes the problem? Lack of referees. If you get 100 players trial for your team, chances are your gonna end up with a better team than if 11 blokes rocked up. Why don't we have enough? A lot join at 14-16 and start reffing 6s or now 12s or something and the abuse they get at this level is appalling. I reffed a 12G grade game and my linesmen got abused for pretty much entire second half and after the game because the spectators didn't know the offside rule. I agree that not always is swearing a send off. Common sense is needed sometimes. If I was sworn at I would move away and ask him to come and talk. This gives the offender 10-20 metres to choose the outcome. If he walks over in a civil way and would like an explanation I'm more than happy to give my interpretation of what happened the way I saw it. I can understand passion and frustration, but if I were to be abused after this I would caution for dissent. However every referee has a different approach just like every player is different. Referees don't abuse players for missing shots or giving away a pass.
As a player, I asked for consistency within the game. Referees do have room for improvement it must be said. The standard has dropped over the last 5 years, in my opinion.
