"official"..... And don't get me wrong we have had some favorable decisions sometimes but it's the inconsistency we find hard to stomach. Life goes on.

when i plyed against metro, the ref knew all the players names from metro, none from my team. He was official; but he was also a parent from the metro U/15's (which he also just reffed and gave his sons team many favourable decisions which included a goal when the west adelaide keeper was laying on the ground with concussion :? late on in the game which allowed metro to win by 1 goal) He should not be reffing any metro games at all

cityforever wrote:the blue eagles vs city game was a great game, Blue eagles had the better of the first half with more oppurtunities. going into the second half with a 1-0 lead. the second half blue eagles opened the scoring with good finish. there was alittle bit of a rumble after that which in result 2 players sent off 1 city and one blue eagles. City cleary dominated after that with clear chances and penalty appeals but just couldn't finish.

these 2 teams wont play each other in the league again this year.

Good assessment. The bit of a rumble - probably would've served the game better if both players received yellow cards.

Some senior teams would do well to watch the defensive composure displayed by both teams during the match, the cutting through balls, movement off the ball and sheer determination to keep going until the final whistle. Great game.

Well done to both teams to put on a high quality match.

i know the guy you're talking about. as far as i know, he is used as least often during his sons match (only when other ref's fail to turn up etc).

he is an experienced SENIOR referee, and like everyone he makes mistakes, BUT he's the best ref you're gonna get at this level. imagine the mistakes another, less experienced referee wouldve made during the game.

and beleive it or not, he is not bias. most refs try their hardest to be professional and it is only the idiot parent referees who "cheat".

put yourself in metro's position, and this is the situation metro has found themselves in a few times this season:

imagine this... the referee that the FFSA appointed for an u/17s game has failed to turn up. both coaches agree that a qualified ref would be best. the only person available and willing on such short notice also happens to be the parent of a player in metro's u/15s.

do u- (a) agree to use the qualified referee
(b) use a parent (without any qualifications)
(c) use a club official (also without any qualifications)

the answer is obvious, and the blame shouldnt be left on the club (as is often the case) when the FFSA appointed ref is a no show!

very often if this happens at other clubs, (a) isnt an option! and a parent referees instead. this ALWAYS results in just as much (if not more) complaining from the away team

its a lose lose situation for the home team, and it happens week in week out at all clubs, not just metro

No wonder everyone talks about cheating and unsportsmanship against teams it's because clubs are put in this position of having a parent or a club offical to ref a game because of the ref not showing up. The FFSA should fine or even suspend any referre late or do not turn up to a junior or senior match.

then we would have no referees left..

Now that's a harsh punishment Boca. If a ref gets sick or his car brakes down he gets fined. That is rubbish. and you know it.

BocaChiefs · Post by **BocaChiefs** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 6:00 pm

If his car breaks down then thats alright because these things happen. But if he's sick and told the federation surely they would get someone there to ref the match. But there needs to be discipline taken for those refs who don't show up.

wat do u suggest thats reasonable then ??

BocaChiefs · Post by **BocaChiefs** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 6:07 pm

I think a fine is reasonable and if they keep repeating it then maybe a suspension.

mattieg1200 · Post by **mattieg1200** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 6:09 pm

how much ?? that wud be a bit harsh ??

Bollocks that he would be the best Ref for this level. I don't know this Ref at all but everyone has their bad days - and clearly he had a bad day - full stop. Why are we making excuses?

And no, the club shouldn't be to blame. It falls squarely on the FFSA. While it's a shame that there's not enough Refs to go around, the FFSA is responsible for raising the profile and quantities of Refs (and the ability of the ones we have).

I fully back the the original comment about the lack of consistancy. If a Ref is consistantly good, that's great - if they're consistantly $h1te, that's ok but the amount of inconsistency is disgusting. And that is where the FFSA should start with improvements - decision making in accordance with the laws of the game.

And the FFSA wonder why there is an increase in yellow/red cards this season?

sacred_june (GrooveChild) · Tue Jun 26, 2007 11:30 am

i know - i've noticed that the yellow/red card count has been unusually high this year. even ive gotten a yellow, and i hadnt got one for 4 or 5 years! and it was due to frustration with the referee and me swearing about a decision or something.

everyone's got a breaking point!

lol same as me no yellow card ever.. got 1 this year..prolly deserved it tho ..

Huddo #3 · Post by **Huddo #3** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 2:31 pm

maybe thats something they've decided to clamp down on, giving out cards more often this year than usual. becoming more strict may give them more control during the match, even though their consistancy seems to bother increasingly more players and coaches, or anyone involved really.. :?
