From The Herald today



Apparently having 2 people sent off in one game for match official related offences isn?t worth a point suspension, but 2 across 20 or so games is.

Northern already backing down from their zero tolerance approach by not handing west Wallsend a six point fine after the two reds on the weekend.

It’s an interesting one. I don’t think it was malicious, more a result of the ref being caught too close between player and play. But that being said, it was a clear push, no denying that. Let’s see...

Yeah, bullshit.

It’s been all but done for months now.

Happy to let people know that even the adult refs have problems with the jankiness that is Squadi, and not just the senior in age refs either.

Also, refs would definitely appear to be getting...

Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Just because you or your mates don?t know someone doesn?t mean that you don?t treat them with respect to begin with, that?s just being a decent member of society. Something, unfortunately, our sport...

Actually, as a former member of Northern refs, first years with Northern get put straight onto JDL at a minimum, if not PYL, it varies on their age and ability. What else can they put them on in...

I didn’t see the incident, and nor do I really care, but, respectfully, I’m just wondering what your assertion on the decision being wrong is based on? Have you done a LotG course?

But you’re...

That?s just an absolute embarrassment. And people wonder why there aren?t enough referees.

Amen to this Frodo.

Think you logged into the wrong account Bob.

Jeterpool has done a lot for the fans, and anyone who disrespects him needs to look at themselves.

Also, you know you can put multiple bits of text...

If that?s what you think, feel free to not visit the forum ever again.

I don?t think too many people would miss you.

On topic, I?m sure the sale will occur in the month that it happens.

Clearly a red, well played by Cancar.

Premy, that’s not entirely correct, you can recklessly kick someone when challenging for the ball (think going in with reckless force), and that will still be a yellow. Excessive force will always...

Sounds like some drama at NL - not sure being for the loss of Wallarah and Blackley Ovals is the hill you want to make a stand, but each to their own.

I may be missing the point, but I assume each club has an equal vote, so surely they could’ve gotten enough support to remove Townsend? Even post Townsend, the decision to change the order of...

Yeah and your “truth” is the exact reason people give it away. It’s really easy to say that the refs are bad when you’ve never done a LotG course yourself.

I stand by my comment that people like...

I have as a clubbie last year.

So much so that I stayed in the changing room for about an hour and made sure I left with a large group. Thankfully, the club I was involved with was the home team,...

Thanks mate.

This is what I don’t get. If the clubs run the apl, how the hell has it gotten this bad?

Come on mate, that?s a bit of a cheap shot, well below your standards.

Any updates?

I would say that the APL wouldn?t shoot themselves in the foot but past behaviour suggests otherwise.

Guys, it?s been a pleasure, we?ll always have Griff :wub:

Well no, that’s not the rumor flying around at the moment, it’s because the APL as an organisation has been such a cluster**** recently and the layoffs in the past few months has spooked any...
