Referee gets fined

Outlaw 2.0 · Post by **Outlaw 2.0** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 1:03 pm

I heard from a good source on the weekend that a few weeks ago during a Sunday Premier Division match a referee changed his shirt so as not to clash at all with either side. This ref (an official of 25 years) was subsequently fined a number of $$$ by the referees association, and told that he was not to do it again or a harsher punishment would be served.

I'm not going to rant on about how good or bad referees are, or for that matter when this particular incident took place. It's more a case of WITHOUT referees, we cannot play football. WITHOUT referees we cannot have any competition that is run as fairly and as well as ours is.

The referee has since paid his fine however told the referees association that he will not partake in any officiating in the near future. SHAME ON YOU REFS ASSOC.

What did he change his shirt too? Guns n roses wife beater?

The SAASRA made it very clear at the start of this season (and last) that refs were only supposed to wear their official shirts and would be fined if they were non compliant with this ruling.

Whilst it's ridiculous that one person should halt the game of 22 people, he knew the rule when he made his VERY SENSIBLE choice.

Perhaps the 2 teams that he allowed to have their game would like to chip in to pay the fine for him.

It's true & it's a absolute discrace just give all the referees a Official Fluro Pink & Black shirt & be done with it....

Whilst that would solve it, so would the fact of clubs knowing that the refs only have a black and a yellow shirt and ensuring they don't clash as well.

As i said, I agree with you that it would fix it but it's not going to be fixed until next season at the earliest. I'd actually just give them 1 black shirt and tell all other clubs that they can't wear black - but that's another argument for another day.

In the meantime, clubs should ensure they don't clash with the ref. Pretty simple really.

then the company that made them should be fined, not the ref. If he bought the correct shirt, then that's not his problem.

Anyone thought for a second that it may be the wrong shirt? Wrong logo? Old logo?

Could a liverpool player play in a man u shirt if they were short? They are both red. Or a shirt from 10 years ago?

It might have been a referee's shirt, but if it was from another association, I can see why they may get grumpy.

He was wearing a federation logo not the amateur logo

The ref we had a couple of weeks ago was wearing FFSA shorts.
Was he fined too? Probably not... because no one complained!
I wonder who complained about this ref!?

millsy REF · Post by **millsy REF** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 7:04 pm

By the inspector

ExtraTime · Post by **ExtraTime** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 7:10 pm

so the inspector at the Macedonia v Southern Knights game would have seen a great game controlled be non-biased B grade referee......lol

millsy REF · Post by **millsy REF** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 7:20 pm

Every ref gets inspected 3 or 4 times per season and now there are four people that got nothing to do but go and inspects the grounds for example how many c or b team ref do games, uniforms and rest. like sat and sun lower div and feed back the amateur league.

millsy REF · Post by **millsy REF** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 7:22 pm

depends what time he got there

millsy REF · Post by **millsy REF** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 7:39 pm

I WATCH SIX GAMES BY NOW NOT GOING TO MENTION WHICH GAMES BUT SOME OF THE PLAYERS NEED TO PLAY THE GAME NOT WORRY ABOUT REF OR CLUB REF EVEN IF THE REF IS BIAS . WHAT YOU DO IS WRITE A REPORT TO THE AMATEUR LEAGUE WITH A PHOTO OF THE CLUB REF AND NO ARGUEMENTS.

Blotto · Post by **Blotto** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 9:40 pm

Seriously, who gives a shit. The Amateur League needs all the refs it can get.

millsy REF · Post by **millsy REF** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 10:46 pm

If thats case DO NOT ABUSE HIM

The referee had a referee shirt on regardless of whether it was a federation or amateur logo he was there to do a job and did it. the only reason he changed his shirt was so he didn't clash with one of the teams. It wasn't necessarily in the Macedonia vs Southern Knights match.
