You're right you don't know the people at Olympic and they are the type to call of games that they don't want to play. Not the first time either, they did it to us 2 years ago so I am not surprised that they don't want to now particularly when their teams are significantly weaker this year. No game played means that their points average won't drop with a loss.
I cant comment on the ground issue but this match will be replayed wont it?I guess this will be the big test of the revised system.With clubs only having 2 weeks to get all their washouts in no doubt eventually they will need to pick and choose which games get replayed.Does anyone know if its 2 matchdays or if clubs can schedule mid week games within those 2 weeks?If there are nefarious things going on already the situation can develop into a farce very quickly if the rules arent clear.
There was a very recent case where council closed a ground but it wasnt accepted, then the groundsman called it off and it wasnt accepted then the refs called it off and it still wasnt accepted.Luckily the young refs father was there to keep an eye on the people 'advising' the ref to still play the game.Ultimately it was the correct call but if the people involved listened to the original decision maker (council) we wouldnt be putting young officials in these postitions.Definitely a day where the adults didnt cover themselves in much glory lets put it that way.
I heard about that. I really don’t get the logic in harassing the ref. I hope it was put in his match report as I assume he would still report what happened and it’s dealt with. Clubs will only be fined so many times and repeat offenders will be moved on.
Does anyone know if players under 18 can be fined? Or if there is a fine it goes to the club? I heard there was a bit going on up north in the last couple of weeks?
Just to be clear I wasnt accusing anyone of harassment and certainly not anything worth putting in the match report.I just did not like the fact that people werent respecting the authority of people put in charge of making these decisions.Ultimately the referee made their decision on the day and it was respected.I just wish the original decision to close the ground was respected the same way.
Darling street was playable after 3 days of rain for the WNPL youth last night verse Magic but, not playable after 3 days of sunshine for the NPL Youth on Sunday verse Magic. WOW. that video going around may have forced them to play.
At least it sounds like the majority of games got on this weekend with a clubs once again offering up alternate grounds which is great.Hopefully the boys now get to see the season out.
