Just to add a bit of balance, the two refs we have had for our last two games have been outstanding. Kept up with the game, made largely the right decisions, explained their decisions and treated the players like adults.

Yes, 4-1 to Stirling

Due to a late withdrawal, Stirling are looking for a friendly game on the 18th. We can host. Ideally A's. B's and C's.

Paying cash. None of the things you list.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not judging but as a coach just interested to know. Fairly obvious which teams we played in div 1 were the ones paying. I also know of one team promoted to a lower league that are paying.

Not interested in the names of clubs, but just wondered if anyone knows how many clubs in Div 1 and 2 Saturday pay their players?
