Spent two nights in hospital after being attacked by spectators. Not once did the league phone me to discuss the incident or how I was.

Lots of complaining here but nobody signing up to referee I presume. SAASL has less than perfect quality referees for a number of reasons. 1 - already been made. If it is a low quality game, don't expect a top knotch ref. The good refs are doing the good games and jusging by the complaining about EP...

My big concern that it is being made by senior referees.

Can't believe how poor the knowledge of The Laws Of The Game that Amature Referees have. I am not complaining on interpretation as that is of the opinion of the referee. What I am concerned is the mistakes on point of Law. For example. 1/ Ball has gone out for a goal kick. During stoppage of play a ...

As a past referee, the referee stuffed up. Then why punish the club for a referees mistake. As a referee I hated going to the club rooms after a game. Has the referee in question been punished by the referees association.

I had the pleasure of coaching Leon the last 3 seasons and involved with his progress towards his SAASRA Level 2. When he is on the park he gives his best. he is fair and honest,
He is going to make a good referee.

Adelaide Titans vs Flinders D2 amateur game had a minute silence before kick-off

There is no where in the laws that the goalkeeper must be protected.

Competition rules - no interchange. 3 substitutions from a maximum 5 name subs.
Official referees apply substitution. But like most clubs who use club referees make their own rules and have interchange.

Referee should have completed the game and the named player also to complete playing the game. Then the referee has to report to the competition organisers of what had happened. Competition orgornisers to place sanctions and if the game is to be replayed or to award the game to the opposing team.ref...

Laws of the game, referee to punish the more serious offence when two offences occurred at the same time.

Offence punishable by a direct free kick is more serious than a offence punishable by indirect free kick.

There is nothing wrong about a player trapping the ball on the ground and keeping it trapped as long as he wants. There can be two outcomes when the player who trapped the ball is challenged. 1/ When an another player tries to play the ball. The offence is dangerous play committed by the. Player tra...

OTTO has got it right. Once the player coming through gains possession of the ball then it becomes a new phase in play.

Yes I was referring to safety and support, not physical facilities. Nothing worse than finishing the game and having no area away from players, coaches , club officials and spectators to do your paperwork without them harassing you. As for finning or deducting points from clubs, that is for clubs wh...

Recruiting is not the solution. The big problem is retention of referees. That is due to lack of safety and respect of referees by club and league. To solve some of the issues the league needs to. 1/ Get tough with clubs who don't comply to match day regulations. Sure all teams record stewards names...

Unless SAASL gets tough with clubs providing a safe enviroment for match officials you will find more referees quitting. After refereeing Salisbury Villa last season and nothing has changed about their behaviour I decided my safety is more important than a game of football. Therefore decided not to ...

Unless it's a friendly, you can only play with 16 players, 11+ 5 subs.

Agree with jimmy

Agree with the above post. The wrong people are running tge referee. Arrogant and there only for their own interest.
As for assessors, most of the assessors these days have not officiated in any top level games. Handed out like lollipops.

Top night at Comedy and Hypnosis Gala night.
Just 4 weeks before Petros and 11 other riders head off to Melbourne to raise funds for Little Heroes Foundation.
Very disappointed on the poor support from the Soccer Community.

Just over one month until Petros hits the road to Melbourne. Like to see the soccer community support Petros by sponsoring the ride. http://heroeshq.org/tourdemcg/default.aspx Comedy and Hypnosis Gala Night is on next Saturday at Norwood Town Hall. All proceeds go o Little Heroes Foundation. For fur...

LOTG if both keepers tops clash with each other and or with the referee, and they keepers don't have a change of top. They don't have to change and are allowed to play but the referee must put a report in. Field players uniforms are not to clash with each other. Referees are lenient with shorts but ...

What made my decision to retire from refereeing for ever was the constant abuse towards us referees and pointing the blame on referees for mistakes players make. The final straw was the vipers coach abusing me for cautioning his player for persistent encroachment at a corner kick. Corner kick, defen...

At Penalty Kicks At the taking of a penalty, the goalkeeper moves off the line before the penalty kick is taken. The referee allows the kick to be taken. If score allow goal, If goalkeeper saves or player misses, kick is retaken. Goalkeeper is not cautioned. Next time before criticising a referee, g...

Comedy & Hypnosis Gala - the event of the year and one not to be missed! Come along and enjoy a fun filled night with 3 of Adelaide's best comedians and a comedy hypnosis show like you've never seen before.

Thanks to the South Australian Amateur Soccer Referees Association for their kind donation to Little Heroes Foundation and by doing so supporting me in my ride in the Tour De MCG bike Ride. Any club or player or referee who would like to support me through Little Heroes Foundation Tour De MCG can do...

The home team is given the first option and they cant supply a linesman then the away team.

Neymar shouldn't have been on the park to score 1st goal. Why wasn't he sent off for he elbow. Replay clearly showed eyes was on the opponent and not the ball and there was a deliberate movement (strike)of the elbow into the Croatians players face. Clearly a red card.
