It'd be like a red rag to a bull for his brother!!

Uni gonna pull their finger out and post some results on fsp? Be good to see a true set of ladders up there for the special souls out there....

Apologies for taking this out of context

I think Stocko can put the loss on the #21's shoulders. That little fella has a hell of a temper.

Although I don't know how this could mean anything else regardless of context

[Wilso8948]

Hamo leading 3-0 at half time with two uni players sent off. I've seen enough way too cold lol

[Swanky]

Olympic v Uni
Res 3-3
1st 5-0
1 player sent from field 2nd player sent after being substituted

[Wilso8948]

Both were 2nd yellows. Both were on soft first yellows. First send off was warranted being last man but second send was a bit much with the substituted player calling the ref four eyes. Think he needs a bit thicker skin IMO

Or maybe the player needs to show more respect towards the referee.

C'mon mate. We're playing ZL2. I for one have called the refs much worse then that and gone unpunished. It was pretty unnecessary I agree but didn't deserve the red

Stockton Sharks will be holding their old boys day this coming Saturday with all proceeds going to a great cause!

Any former Sharks of any form are encouraged to come along and support the day, as well as have a run in the Old Boys Match if theyre brave enough!

God know I've said far worse as well, but rules are rules and you can't point blame at the ref when he has followed the rules. Blame can only be placed on the perpetrator trying to point it else where condones that behaviour and bottom line is it's unacceptable.
Whilst I agree it's harsh yes but the send off is not the refs fault that's all I was alluding to, sorry if it came across as a shot as that's not how it was intended.

[Bremsstrahlung]

Calling the ref anything in a derogatory manner is a quick way to get sent off.
Does the ref ever call a player a sh## c$€% if you miss a shot, or criticise a missed tackle.
The general population of referees are very considerate people. While there is financial incentive, just because they are paid does not mean they are exempt from being respected. If you approach an incorrect decision by a referee any differently than you would a error made by a waitress at a restaurant, in terms of language used in a public place.

In saying that, it does change referee to referee and this is one area of frustrations of players. More experienced referees are comfortable in their decisions and will allow a player time to calm down and re assess their actions. However, some are also just sick of abuse week in week out and will treat dissent with an immediate yellow cards.

At the end of the day, as Premy said, if you don't call the referee names, he can't send you off for that. There is a way to approach a problem, often the heat of the moment takes over and it can be a good skill for a referee to be able to take a step back and allow the player a chance to revise their actions.

I suppose being there woulda helped explain this a lot better. It was just so minor. Game wasn't out of hand and I don't think the player even called him 4 eyes just made some "glasses" hand gestures. Was just a bit of overkill I guess. Plus player was going off and all it needed was a typical ref response like "hey that's enough son" or something like that lol

So minor that there is a yellow card offence designated for that exact thing, Dissent by word or action.

It's in the laws and the referee has followed them.

Perhaps the onus should be on the player not to commit "minor" yellow card offences lol

Bloody good show from the Eagles considering the circumstances.
Reserve Grade only had ten blokes, two of which were injured keepers playing in the field.

Firsts had to use a CM in goals and also had a player pull out before the game and had to call on a Ressie who had just played a full game.

But even with all that, I think Stocko can put the loss on the #21's shoulders. That little fella has a hell of a temper.

Nope - i would put the blame on the bloke who received a red card last match for Stocko

[RANGER09]

Rd 17
