a good post for refs
i would like to say that given the resent attitude towards the reffing standards in the amateur league the ref that did the game between PHE & Beach yesterday had an excellent game.

He is an ex ref and is normally pretty good. Has is moments but on the whole does a good job.tickets4cheese wrote:i would also like to say that the guy that did the reserves game at beach yesterday was also very good
Lefty from Gardens was a good B Team ref to.
Re: a good post for refs
Also the guy that reff'd the Inter v Florina b's yesterday. Not too bad, except for the decision at the end where the linesman flagged for offside and the ref waved him away, as he scored. Frustrating, as the goal put them 3-2 up with only minutes left to play. Even more frustrating when I have some of the opposition players tell me after that he was easily a few yards offside.

I thought the ref Vista had against Gully in the B's also done a fantastic job.

Re: a good post for refs
perhaps a topic could be stickied in regards to refs who played a good game and putting some names in and descriptions of what they did well
we all seem to have a lot to say when they do poorly so why not give some to those who do a fair job and make them known to the rest...
just a thought

Re: a good post for refs
Tom at vista
Glen at the Farm
Trevor's brother at Florina
The Vale guy who done the ressies on Sunday
Rainer at the Downs
All of these have done a fair and honest job each time
we've either played them this season or in the past.
And I always make a point of thanking them too afterwards, they get enough sh*t
its nice to give them praise too.

the ref from the East vs Beach game on sunday was the tall greek bloke Steve(don't know if that narrows it down), not sure of his last name.

Re: a good post for refs
That is the one i'm talking about. But unlike your opinion- like at work he kept up with play well, was fair,well organised, communicated well with players and nothing was to hard for him.pc wrote:wouldn't have been the ref from this year that you'd be talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just like at work, he just wondered around doing nothing!!!!Lance 23 wrote:pc wrote:our ref we had yesterday against Raptors was excellent.

Re: a good post for refs
As I have said in previous posts this season, IMO the refereeing has been very good compared to past years.
Don't know if it's because were playing in Div 1
Don't think i've spat my chewie once thus far
Great job guys keep up the good work....the ones i'd love to commend are....not sure on names.
Italian guy we had at Strirling.......
Lozza in a reserves game and a few times in the past.
The Englishman we have had at least 3 times this year, Uni, Sturt and Bosa......very very good and top bloke also..caught up with him at the Parade I think
The Englishman we had last week against Gleeson and once or twice before...very much in control and a pleasure to play under.
Must also mention Tony Cerracchio who does our reserves games......very very fair and does a great job.

Re: a good post for refs
Seems like we could all do with getting to know these guys and their names...... i remember as a youngster it was always a good feeling if a ref knew your name and brought the best out of me....why would these guys be any different....

Re: a good post for refs
Not sure I entirely agree with you on this one. Good idea when things are going well, but some top ref will have an off day, and his name will be slagged off here (in another post, of course), and every w@nker will jump on the wagon.handy_man wrote:Seems like we could all do with getting to know these guys and their names...... i remember as a youngster it was always a good feeling if a ref knew your name and brought the best out of me....why would these guys be any different....

If you know their name, all the better for you, but keep it to yourself.
Bravo for starting this topic.
The ref at Gleeson is top notch, but you'd expect that, he's a former official.
I thought the Africa ref was really good. Played advantage well, pulled up play when he had to. And all in a very unique, laidback style. Not the easiest gig out there.

Re: a good post for refs
we had kim (nerdy lookin italian fella) against the downs on the weekend, and he did a top job, as these games can get out of hand with a poor ref. he let the game flow and produced few cards, and the cards he did produce were all probably there. we also had him in the cup final and a few other times and he has been awesome. by far the best ref in the league in my opinion.

Have to agree, i have a lot of time for Kim, definitely one of the better refs and has a lot of personality and uses it to his advantage.gardensgoon wrote:we had kim (nerdy lookin italian fella) against the downs on the weekend, and he did a top job, as these games can get out of hand with a poor ref. he let the game flow and produced few cards, and the cards he did produce were all probably there. we also had him in the cup final and a few other times and he has been awesome. by far the best ref in the league in my opinion.

Re: a good post for refs
I'd agree that the games I saw there last season the referee was quite good. Both Old Ignatians (and Fc Adelaide the season before) said they had no complaints either.blackout wrote:I thought the Africa ref was really good.

Hey,
Just wanted to say the guy who reffed the ressies for Munno Para v's Beach game on Sunday was probably the best club ref we've had all season away from home.

The ref who did the ACU Falcons v Murray Bridge (Sat Div 4A) game on August 15th needs a new watch.
Second half went for 57 minutes with only 2 goals and about 4 subs, no injuries.....
