With a drenching day of rain we've had today and expected rain tomorrow, almost guaranteed that the games will be moved. I can hardly see Waterloo, Eastwood and North Epping Ovals able to be played on Any word about what could happen?

How on earth have those mudguzzling pigs out at Hills Hawks Hills and the princesses of the competition at West Ryde Hills managed to get their games moved from Saturday meaning they will both be fresh for Monday’s games? Unbelievable scenes

Wow, games called of on a Thursday.... Something very fishy going on. Very unfair for the teams supposed to play them on Monday. It compromises the integrity of the whole of the PL competition. Surely the whole of Saturday needs to be called off to be played later on

Well the forecast from tonight til the end of the long weekend is showing no rain at all, those 2 teams may as well play like the rest of us and not cat out from this Saturday.

That comp got so bad that too many teams left and they had to merge with the bankstown comp. I cant believe the Granville comp management let the teams from auburn, lidcombe and parra carry on like they did for so long with so little punishment.

Having played PL in that league, i can tell you that it got worse and worse as the season went on, not because of the players, but the lack of officials. 1 ref to do both firsts and ressies, not good enough! NWSFA do a great job in that regard.

I reffed in that comp as a junior and remember being at games where the officials had to lock themselves in change rooms due to abuse from players/crowd members. Worst I saw it get was the referee and another junior official get chased off the field by a player trying to hit them with a corner flag. Would hardly help with retaining referees.

NWSFA has its dark incidences as well though. So far this season we’ve had a referee being followed back home upon which a spectator drove next to him and started hurling abuse at him. A referee walking back to the carpark whereby spectators started aggressively yelling at him for the ‘shit’ game he had. Junior referees aged 15 and younger being mocked, ridiculed and harassed at Under 13 games and younger by parents. Two abandoned All Age games whereby coaches and players have completely lost the plot by surrounding the referee and making him feel unsafe. A junior referee getting abused for simply reporting about a racist remark he allegedly heard from a player. Heck even a PL referee told she ‘smelt nice’… creepy. NWSFRA lost 30 senior referees this season and only recruited 11 hence the increase in uncovered games every weekend. How does that affect PL/SL? Referees perhaps needing more experience being promoted so you have 2 referees every game. Aside from refs being human, something to think about for players and coaches next time a referee has an ‘off’ game I guess. I will say though, refereeing PL/SL looks to be more enjoyable in NWSFA than perhaps other associations from conversations with some of their referees :)

It was a long read but truly eye opening about how crazy football makes people. I'd say that although on this forum we love to whinge about referees on here, there's is definitely a culture of acceptance and respect towards referees that appears (from speaking to people like Pale) is lacking in our other grades in NSWFA.

Interesting readings some of the comments about issues that happen in other Associations with refereeing, I was officiating in a Sunday Cup Game years ago between to Bankstown teams and the game got pretty heated and cards were dished out faster than a casino pontoon dealer, then one attacking player turned on a defender and put one on his chin, unknown to the attacking player who threw the first punch the defending player who went down had a Brother standing right behind the attacker and and the Brother king hot the attacker breaking hos jaw and knocking him completely into unconscious state. Whilst I dealt with red & yellow cards for all the ensuing offences during and after the big hits, we waited for the ambulance to come and cart off the attacking player. In all this, the Captain from the other Bankstown team came to me and questioned, was the attacking player who punched his player going to be red carded and I advised yes he was and the Captain said to me how are you going to indicate that to everyone, I said to him isn't it damn obvious he is leaving in the back of the ambulance from the field. This was the first time in my career I showed a knocked out player going in the back of the ambulance a red card The on shot of all this was the game was being played at a ground with no lights and subsequently we lost light and the game was called off to be replayed. This was certainly one of the most historic days in my refereeing career for giving out a red card.

Some players think it is quite funny and sometimes a sport to target a referee with dissent and comments during a match, but at the end of the day it is the man with the whistle that protects you. When ever I got a proverbial pain in the arse in a match I normally had some quick retorts to the player that even had his team mates giggling. For example: One PL First grader one day decided to unload on me about what he perceived as a poor decision not to award a Penalty Kick, at the break in play I called him over and courteously reminded him of the 2 Hospital passes he gave his team mates, the numerous missed tackles he made, the two missed sitters in front of goal and what a poor game he was having and I said you want to have a go at me about one dubious call, I guaranteed him at the end of the match my error count would be much less than his, to which he scoffed and ran off, for the next 15 minutes I was closer to him than a case of the clap and when he made a mistake I would count 1, now 2, now 3, now 4, now 5 in the end he said "Enough Ref your right" after that every time I refereed that particular player and his team I never had another problem with dissent !

Would depend on the player and team to which you could have that ‘humorous’ exchange with Alan, and delivery and exchange would need to be very tongue in cheek no doubt. I like a banter but am careful with sarcasm especially when it’s condescending to the player and dependant very much on the ‘tone’ of the game.

Juice, you would be absolutely correct, there is a time and place and if players treated the game with respect they received it back for sure. I played in the foundation years of Premier League in 1977 and we had good referees and we had some real duds back then, so nothing has changed in all the time Premier League has been around for the last 44 years and some of the teams back in those days were very aggressive and verbal towards each other and towards referees, so the problem does not go away

Refs at this level are not professional enough. Simple as that. They are amateur weekend warriors. Most, if not all, do not have the ability to remain impartial and unbiased. At higher levels you can have a word to the ref or even shout for an appeal and, if not given, express disappointment (not abuse) without issue but it seems there are refs running around this comp who have a massive chip on their shoulders. So much so that even the slightest chirp in their direction about a call they made will cause them to completely shift their focus from officiating a game to asserting their hollow authority on whoever piped up. Gone are the days when the ref just waved you off, told you to grow up and get over it and continued on their merry way. Nowadays you get a blast of the whistle, a puffed out chest and a lecture no-one wants to hear.

Problem that I'm seeing now is it's becoming a situation where both parties are pointing the fingers at each other for not doing enough. The refs will claim that players need to change their attitude and vice versa the players think the same about refs. Had a chat with a ref earlier on in the year about creating a forum where players and referees come together and where a mutual respect and understanding can happen and he seemed very keen on it. Seems like there are a lot of rules in the game that we as players don't understand and there's obviously frustration about the overall man management styles of our PL refs that they need to come to grips of.

Couple of years back, representatives from the senior group refs met with PL coaches/managers for a drink and a chat for the up coming season, talked about expectations, rule changes etc. Was a good idea but not all refs were there. Hasn't happened since though Covid put pay to it last season. Technically speaking, it is not the refs responsibility to educate players on the LOTG or their updates and changes. Aside from players who should be doing this (why aren't they?), coaching staff and clubs have that responsibility - all changes are communicated with clubs though I concede club communication structures aren't necessarily the greatest. In saying that however, it's not a bad idea to inform what we look for but remembering most decisions are based on judgements that are final, whether agreed with or not. I don't think the current discussion is as bad as it's made out to be. When you look across the total number of games across PL and SL first and reserves, which is serviced by the groups of referees, there isn't a dire issue. A few off games certainly doesn't constitute the implied dramatic concerns of 'Facts' post in any case.

So much aggression and hate from some of the writers on this forum ! If you knew me and knew what I have done for my club and for the Association you would see the humorous side of the stories and not the hater side of everything ? I would have been one of the most impartial referees who at the time officiated matches in GHFA and other Associations, I would have a laugh and joke with the players when the time called for it and I would bring the boom down when I had to on a serious issue or disciplinary matters. Dissent from players is something you either nip in the bud early, or you put up with it for the rest of the game and once it gets out of control you have a real problem, so yes referees pull it up early and set the benchmark for tolerance and the good teams and players pick up on it early and realize what will be tolerated. Referees have good days and bad days as well, some players get under the referees skins because they get personal with their comments, or just cant leave an issue after one bite, they have to keep coming back and asking over and over again. When has arguing about a ruling ever changed the decision.... ?
