It was appalling once again Cobras inciting the opposition. Some really silly challenges - constant calls for yellow cards - Cobras coach who is forever coming onto the pitch. Lots of off the ball Shite going on - one of Cobras players even got a kick from a Pitbull spectator. As piss weak as it was, you should have heard the commotion the Cobras coach and players made. Cobras you are a joke - Can't wait to see how you travel in the 2nd half of the season - teams are wising up to you. Oh is your pitch even legal - And how come you had an official ref today?
LAW 1 – THE FIELD OF PLAY
1. The lines belong to the areas of which they are boundaries. 2. The minimum size of the pitch is Length -90m(100yds) x Width -45m(50yds)
The maximum size of the pitch is Length -120m(130yds) x Width -90m(100yds)
3. Flags are essential for corners of the pitch and not mandatory for the half way
line, however, if used they must be at least 1 metre from the side line and all
flags used must be no shorter than 1.5m in height.
4. The size of the goals is 7.32m (8yds) wide and 2.44m (8ft) high.
5. Goals must be secured to the ground. Moveable goals must be checked for
movement and secured to avoid movement.
GIAE go for it - you raise some very valid points in your previous posts.
Great game yesterday in the A's. thought hard football
It was as simple as what it was. First team to slip up was gonna take the points.
Unfortunately it was us.
No disrespect but I felt our boys played beta football but didn't take there chances.
First half 4 shots going just wide and second half a saved penalty.
Really looking forward to the return leg.
I have to commend the cobras coach on subbing off a bloke he had just subbed on.
(Bloke comes on 2min cops a tackle gets the free and starts throwing punches)
Thanks Pitbulls it was a tough game, we are looking forward for the return game too. Thanks for all the ones that stayed back and had a drink were glad that after all that happen with the altercation from both games that we were all good about it. Thanks again
1. The pitch is regulation
2. Flags are regulation
3. Goals are regulation and secured
4. Game times as said before and said for the last time cause god is not an Englishman is a DUMB champagne, the times were set because the games were supposed to match up with the federation team so the canteen would be available and the Saasl have not lined up all games. Because of this if we don't have a clash we are happy to play at a later time an email is sent each week to the team we play if they have an issue we sought it out otherwise we have the agreement that we play early, therefore it does not concern you DUMB champagne
Well good to hear you are now offering normal kick off times. Pity you weren't offering this before and how easily you could have said that pages ok when you were caught out lying.
They shouldn't be offering normal kick off times. If anything if they want to play earlier the should be requesting the opposition to play earlier. If the opposition say okay no problem but if they don't you could always switch the tie to their ground.

GIAE, we have emailed every club prior to each home game about the kick off time. Only pitbulls soo far have asked for a re schedule and we worked with them to have a time that's suitable for both clubs.
Just because its not on footballnews doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
At the end of the day we are like every other club working our asses off to field two teams each weekend. We try and stay away from this site to be honest, I felt like we have received alot of undeserved criticism here. If you know the work we have put in to have this club work I hope you would change your tune a little.
Pitbulls - thanks for a great game yesterday. It was a really tense game and your fans added great atmosphere to the day. Also 15-20 Pitbull fans that stayed back for a drink we really appreciate it and we will return the favour when we play at your ground.
I still belive you should be juist movinf your kick offs that don't clash to the normal times. However, if all the responses were as thought out as yours and not having the abuse then this would have ended a long time ago.

It's so unlike you to make such a mess of the English language, but I did work out what you were intending to say.
We played them last game and the ref was questioning them about a player whose card could not be found amongst the rest of the teams cards. We have a feeling they have been playing an FFSA registered player or a non-registered player. Either way the ref did not seem impressed and mentioned this to us as we left after the game. Maybe he was told to do a thorough check on their cards because of previous complaints.

Hi Sean, we at McLaren also have issues with Simba match sheets - Being one of the few teams in the league to play them twice we noted several players have miraculously changed names but kept the same registration numbers, whilst others have the same name but have different registration numbers.
When I mentioned to their coach that the team had changed a lot since the first time we played them he did say he had picked up some new players from federation????
Maybe it would be worth us taking it up with Saasl? All a bit odd but at the end of the day if you have to cheat to win well that's a poor show eh!

Yeah it was very obvious they had totally different players than when we played them the first time. I agree I am going to get our club president to contact the league and officially complain.

I reckon they played some pretty dodgy players against is too. I asked the ref for a card check at half time because they seemed to be bringing on some randoms. The ref just had a laugh. I suggest all teams, including reserves, ask the refs when playing Simba for a card check. Especially when playing them at their ground. Take a stop watch too as the club ref also has some strange ideas regarding the length of each half.
Asking for a card check from the ref at half time won't happen easily.
At the start of each game each team is entitled to obtain the oppositions match sheet and their ID cards, to keep until the start of the second half half. If you haven't done this by then, it's too late.
Assuming the match sheet is filled out properly and all cards are present, The referee has no role determining whether or not a player is playing unregistered or under another name. Asking a team to line up players to check if their card is legit is highlighted in by laws as an absolute no-no.
If there was no card available there are bylaw instructs that the player and a witness must write and sign somewhere the reason why the card is n/a. The ref should have known this.
My advice, get the sheet and cards before the game starts. Then you can make a decision after that if you want to go through it and check. Better still, line up the ID cards and take a photo and compare it with their match sheet after the game when you get your copy. Then you can follow the correct process and file a report using the form that doesn't seem to be available on the Saasl website anyway...
I have played without my card before and supplied my driving licence instead. I know my registration number and the driving licence proves I am who I say I am.
A club would be entitled to question this but as long as it's legitimate then I see no issue with it. If I was suspended then the league would notice anyway (as they would if it was a suspension for bookings).
Only once had a team ask for a card check in a game that I was involved in. The team took the cards before the game. During the game they compared the team sheet to the cards and to the players on the pitch. I was amazed I wasn't questioned as I have hair in my photo from quite a few years ago. At half time cards were returned to the ref when they confirmed they had no issues.
I would imagine if they'd had any concerns you would then raise it with the ref so as to have independent witness to verify the situation BUT it's not the referees job to stop a suspended/unregistered player from playing.
Hi all when Simba played against us the game got called off at the 80min mark due to their goal keeper taking a run up and fly kicking one of our players nearly breaking his leg, then their whole team and supporters came onto the field and started pushing the ref around.
They are now on a good behaviour clause, they don't deserve to be in this league so let's keep an eye on them so we are all safe
