Re: Seaford vs Ghan (Maywand) Sun 16 Jun

Well done to Seaford. There's so many examples where a number of offending clubs that get given second, third and fourth chances continue to operate. At the very least, the League should have seen this fixture coming and contacted both clubs weeks ago that they will send higher grade officials (with...

Re: To all the budding referee's out there

The ball was in the keeper's hands so it's Violent Conduct. Not necessarily. I can't say as I haven't seen the incident but ball in keepers hands doesn't necessarily make something violent conduct. The original post stated an 'unprovoked kick'. As the keeper had the ball controlled in his hands it ...

Re: To all the budding referee's out there

Hope it was a club referee you observed. Would be disappointing to hear an official ref interpreted this as just a yellow card. The only way it could be a yellow is if the goalkeeper's actions were viewed as unsporting behaviour in the way he was remonstrating towards the attacker.

Re: SUNDAY DIV 2 Round 5 results.

There was an almost identical 'water squirting' incident towards a referee in an FFSA game last year or year before.

Every current player should be made to referee a few games where possible.

Re: Want to start a referee career?

Pay decent money and you'll attract some good refs. Pay peanuts and you'll get geriatrics like you have now, who ref like it's still 1970. The pay is reasonable I think. Div 1 amateur refs get about $10-15 less than Federation second tier. An ageing association is pretty much standard across ALL sp...

There's a new initiative this year by the SAASRA. They've got their official refs to 'inspect' club referees in Div 1 and 2 games. They fill out a form and a copy goes to the League. Div 3 and below isn't done because many of the official refs are fairly new. However these club refs are looked at by...
