Just when Ange had a couple of good matches along come the Scousers . :grin: 3-6 at home must hurt. Aussie Ange has gotta watch his back. ps, a commentator raised an interesting question: has anyone kept stats on how many goals are scored from playing out short goal-kicks from the back, and how ...

Guessing the smallest semi final crowd in years.

Your guess would be wrong, I'm expecting a reasonable crowd at a decent complex. Geez , they come down South once in a blue moon and the moaning starts.

I don't believe refs are being pressure to not do SAASL games, but rather the behaviour of certain clubs in SAASL is putting the refs off making themselves available for SAASL games. I agree the behaviour of some clubs is not great and I am not using it as an excuse but after the new refs ...

I assume it's Refs. Every game (Div 1 to 7) presently gets a match official and Div 1A often get linesmen too. CSL has been pro active in developing and upskilling their own pool of Refs. CSL refs usually do the lower Div games. As the refs can decide which league they want to officiate in, that ...

Maybe time to do away with separate Sunday and Sat comps & have one joint SAASL hierarchy as suggested on here. I think there will always be a place (market) for amatuer players. Just depends on how itll look. This. I see it as a positive for the state that more clubs are ready and willing to step ...

4 clubs from sunday div 1/2 have put in an eoi to go to FSA next year 2 clubs from saturday div 1/2 as well more teams leaving saasl go to collegiate league as well likely from next year will only 3 divisions with a/b in both sunday and saturday feels like it is the beginning of a significant ...

Apparently the Refs version of events changed significantly on his report due to fears of reprisal. Don’t understand the decision makers at the SAASL. If a club along with its players purposely physically assaults an opposition team the club and players involved should be banned immediately. No e ...

With all the money in the league coffers, they should purchase 1 × VEO for each club & enforce all games must be recorded & submitted to the league for them to review any such incidents. Amateur league footy record every game to eradicate such thugs from their competition Nice idea but the cameras ...

At the pre-season delegates meeting SAASL declared a zero tolerance to this type of behaviour. The list of fines for even minor breaches was mind boggling so I can only expect expulsion as the correct action if this behaviour is proven. I won't hold my breath though after the way they have handled ...

How so? It's highly unlikely they had any tangible evidence to go on. I understand the league were aware of previous complaints regarding the ref though. Final day of the seaosn when a league title is at stake, why wouldn't you appoint an official referee... There are no refs. Premier B's and C's ...

How so? It's highly unlikely they had any tangible evidence to go on. I understand the league were aware of previous complaints regarding the ref though. I am more disappointed that the club condoned this behaviour and thought no one would question it. I watched part of the game as an impartial ...

If clubs allow underperforming or incompetent coaches to continue, they suffer relegation consequences. If the club management is not strong-willed enough to remove that underperforming coach, they should remove themselves and let others step in to run clubs professionally. If players (e.g. JJ) are ...

Congrats to RBE C's. Hope they celebrate what this "title" has done for their club. Pretty hollow victory I would have thought. Says a lot when now they don't even have a Cs this season... :roll: :lol: :clown: Says a lot about the club when you have a 6 hr. appeal hearing with lawyers involved ...

He,s gone. Surprised to see Calderbank watching the games on Saturday too.

Why , he lives nearby

Will be handy for training and match days then.

Can anyone confirm?

I suspect SAASL has bottled it again. Probably don't want the expected backlash. SAASL 101. Just need to be upfront and explain how they reached their decision, whatever it is.

The season finished 6 weeks ago, how does it take this long? People in the ARBE camp told me weeks ago the investigation is done with no outcome, 'deemed to not have breached anything' I suspect the League is hesitant to set a precedent, if they start investigating every report of questionable ...

I can see SAASL being in a difficult position. It is not easy to prove bias and cheating, even though they were aware of past indiscretions by this club ref. With ARBE's reputation now seriously damaged maybe the club could step up and not claim the title. It doesn't excuse the obvious poor ...

The DC met 2 weeks ago so a decision must have been made. I presume the league winners plaque was handed out on Fri. night. Does anybody who attended know who won it?

The Sat. Premier C grade is the title in dispute. The leading scorer from that division was awarded to a Lion player even though the RBE player scored more on Dribl. Time for an announcement from SAASL to clarify matters.

Apparently Memo from SAASL to all clubs stating that an investigation is now under way. Credit where credits due. Well done SAASL. Lets wait and see.

In a relegation year too

Good luck to Div. 2 Cs next year. At least they know what to expect.

The score on Dribl says 15-0 and would have had to be confirmed by Titans to be official and correct. Maybe SAASL need to take a closer look to ensure the integrity of the league is maintained. (sarcasm intended)

Not the first time ARBE's had some very interesting officiating in their C grade home games over the years. Previously have witnessed - Linesman being sent off for telling the ref the home crowd was abusing him, keeper sent off for calmly questioning a penalty awarded, player sent off for 2 light ...

Interesting to see ARBE C grade winning the league yesterday. Played a catch-up game Thurs. against Titans and win 3-2. Played them again at home on Sat. needing to win by 15 goals to snatch top spot and win 15-0. Club ref only gave them 6 penalties so it wouldn't look too suspicious. Bosa Cs must ...

Went to watch a SAASl Saturday Premier league game today. I was impressed with standard of play to be honest and the players seemed well prepared and most showed a high level of fitness. It pains me to say that could not be said of the ref. He was grossly overweight and hardly moved out of the ...

We strongly condemn any form of violence towards match officials and are determined to ensure that any such behaviour is stamped out of the ...

Seems to me that the proposed constitution actually makes it harder for the league to be dissolved. Am I missing something? No. You are right, the proposed constitution makes it harder to dissolve the SAASL. There is no secret mandate from FSA to dissolve the league, which currently would need 3/5 ...
