PENALTY 5 wrote:The facilities at Park B27 are below par, no way suitable for u17s level. I can't believe that at u17A level they are still playing games at this venue. Its a disgrace, what I remember of it the quality of pitch is poor, just the whole set up is a joke.
After reading several posts regarding the W Adelaide v C City game. It sounds like the referee has once again destoryed another match, similar things occured in the city v abe match. The quality of refereeing is frankly crap, whether the FFSA is to blame for this all the people that do it are at fault, i don't know.
The disappointing aspect is the inconsistency, if one side is getting cards, free kicks, penalties and the other team is receivng nothing then people start becoming aggravated against the ref, this is when words such as 'cheating' and 'corruption' can come into play.
I agree - B27 is an absolute disgrace for 17A level. No fences, not a decent playing surface, and the changerooms smelled horrible from what I heard. It is a joke - a bad one.
And I believe you have hit the nail squarely on the head there - inconsistency. This is the biggest problem. Not only with today's match, but many junior matches as well. Be consistent, and you won't be accused of favouritism or cheating. It really is quite simple. If you're going to be a sh
it ref, then be sh
it all the time. Not just to one team.
