Re: Nothing to see here.

How so? It's highly unlikely they had any tangible evidence to go on. I understand the league were aware of previous complaints regarding the ref though. Final day of the seaosn when a league title is at stake, why wouldn't you appoint an official referee... There are no refs. Premier B's and C's d...

Re: 2024 Coaches

If clubs allow underperforming or incompetent coaches to continue, they suffer relegation consequences. If the club management is not strong-willed enough to remove that underperforming coach, they should remove themselves and let others step in to run clubs professionally. If players (e.g. JJ) are...

Congrats to RBE C's. Hope they celebrate what this "title" has done for their club. Pretty hollow victory I would have thought. Says a lot when now they don't even have a Cs this season... :roll: :lol: :clown: Says a lot about the club when you have a 6 hr. appeal hearing with lawyers inv...

I suspect SAASL has bottled it again. Probably don't want the expected backlash. SAASL 101. Just need to be upfront and explain how they reached their decision, whatever it is.

Re: Nothing to see here.

People in the ARBE camp told me weeks ago the investigation is done with no outcome, 'deemed to not have breached anything' I suspect the League is hesitant to set a precedent, if they start investigating every report of questionable refe...

Re: Nothing to see here.

I can see SAASL being in a difficult position. It is not easy to prove bias and cheating, even though they were aware of past indiscretions by this club ref. With ARBE's reputation now seriously damaged maybe the club could step up and not claim the title. It doesn't excuse the obvious poor behaviou...

The DC met 2 weeks ago so a decision must have been made. I presume the league winners plaque was handed out on Fri. night. Does anybody who attended know who won it?

Re: Nothing to see here.

The Sat. Premier C grade is the title in dispute. The leading scorer from that division was awarded to a Lion player even though the RBE player scored more on Dribl. Time for an announcement from SAASL to clarify matters.

The score on Dribl says 15-0 and would have had to be confirmed by Titans to be official and correct. Maybe SAASL need to take a closer look to ensure the integrity of the league is maintained. (sarcasm intended)

Interesting to see ARBE C grade winning the league yesterday. Played a catch-up game Thurs. against Titans and win 3-2. Played them again at home on Sat. needing to win by 15 goals to snatch top spot and win 15-0. Club ref only gave them 6 penalties so it wouldn't look too suspicious. Bosa Cs must b...
