Clubs got used to the lower cost of no linesmen & reserve refs because there wasnt enough.
Obviously the Ref numbers are increasing but theres still not enough to go around to cover everyone.
Surely the increasing Ref numbers is a good thing!

When did you send it?

sorry to disappoint you, but was speaking to someone from Grange last night and he said that there was a response being put out.

Heard there was statement being sent to the saasl clubs, has anyone received anything yet?

If you dont tell the FFSA that your from the Amateur League, then no problem....more importantly they cant stop anyone doing the course. In fact these idiots should be supporting anyone and everyone as we join their database to do the course and therefore could potentially become a referee for them ...

Surely a decision must have been made by now, any news?

I thought the fixtures sent out to Clubs a couple of weeks ago were only a draft? Why have clubs gone off and made arrangements without final fixtures being released at the delegates meeting? I cant see the League changing dates to suit Beograd for Easter, could they have been changed for another ...

Noticed this FFSA Referees directive.... Shin Guards FFSA is aware of a directive that has been issued from a non-affiliated Referee Association in regards to shin guards and the specific requirements for this equipment. For the purpose of clarifying this issue, the directive issued is incorrect as ...

did it! Was actually quite easy to do.

Maybe the SAASL didn't advise the Clubs because they didn't endorse it but are now being held over a barrell by the Refs. Maybe?

SAASL has been given copy of Referees coaching sheet about shinpads, sock, undergarmnts, tecnical areas and specator lines. It is not the referees fualt if the SAASL is slack at emailing the info to all clubs. The SAASRA has it on its web http://saasra.wikispaces.com/Ref%27s+Coaching+Newsletters ...

As regarding the clash of sock colour. Its in the SAASL competition rules and the Laws of the game. SAASL and SAASRA have been slack in eforcing the rule. The hame team has to change. Jewellery All items of jewellery (necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, leather bands, rubber bands, etc.) are ...

why ?

Thanks, that answered my question.

Why not?

Goalkeepers are not permitted to wear Black only tops. It is advisable that Goalkeepers have two or three different colour tops. Goalkeeper’s tops shall not clash with each other. seeing as i'll be playing in goals this season this got my attention. i'm sure i've seen all-black goalkeeping tops a ...

(new topic to get it away from all the wager/giae/other crap from the new laws topic) from http://saasra.wikispaces.com/file/view/SAASRA+Refs+Coach+Issue+1+2-1012.pdf : Goalkeepers are not permitted to wear Black only tops. It is advisable that Goalkeepers have two or three different colour tops ...

who's paying for the extra shirts for the refs. They have to buy their own kit at the moment, so if saasl want them to be in different coloured shirts then saasl should put their hands in their pockets and pay for it. Refs already have their coloured shirts from last year all they have to do is buy ...

Interesting discussion! I know of quite a few Refs who are also unhappy about the proposed uniform changes Just so I get it right, the SAASL administers the game, the Refs administer the Laws of the game in the SAASL. The Laws of the game are FIFA. Therefore, shouldn't the SAASL then have over ...

Why are the SAASL playing these games at Kilburn Football Club? I understand the central location but surely there is a SAASL Club that is central & has suitable lighting? Spoke to the someone and i understand that the SAASL and Kilburn FC have come to some agreement to share the facility over ...

Just wear the white arm bands this weekend, then after the discussions with the SAASL on Monday they can put in place for the Cup Final to make a bigger statement as per brooksy's suggestion. Surely there is no problem with that? Just do it! Let the Clubs run with it this weekend, I cant see the ...

not the saasl's fault that the tv channels chose not to use the statement that was sent to them.

wow your really loving the ffsa on this one, wonder how carter would have handled this :oops: it looks to me maiwand were given one last chance and in 2 years they were good and one guy has started a fight which escelated, they will be kicked out and saasl will prob bring in harsher penalties so ...

lead story. video showed maiwand guys with poles, and seaford fan throwing bottle, before ambulance officers fixing up people. didn't look like a 'crazy' brawl but lots of people involved and the footage was grainy and obviously not complete. footage of Kenyon saying he has summonsed SAASL ...

Swannsong sorry misread about the Hindmarsh idea , think it has merits cheers. brooksy, great idea....why dont you drop an email to Alex at the league and let them know and the clubs that are supporting it so far...If they can put on the website and maybe add it to their next press release. Its a ...

Rubbish, this is an amatuer comp run by volunteers. They write their own rules. Any different than a clubs 7 a side comp over summer??? This should have been dealt with correctly in the past, and was not. They are not at fault for the idiocy of people who play under their competition banner, however ...

Rocket Science Part.1 I think the point your all forgetting is this Club was one of the many Clubs formed & funded by money from the Refugee/Migrant Fund the $135k. I think the problem is this instead of funding established Clubs Who don't have any of the deep seeded problems & help integrate these ...

his department funded the saasl to the tune of $135k to integrate refugee group team. a refugee group team causes issues on sunday. pretty sure he can question why he is funding the saasl at that point. not his department. Fed Govt Dept of Immigration. When he puts his hand in his pocket he can ...

Lets not forget fellas that what the minister says and what is printed could be slightly different!

Finally a statement from the SAASL. Good to hear they are taking this all seriously.
Interesting reading between the lines that there could be a comeback on those that slagged the SAASL over the last couple of days!
Looking forward to what happens next.

Watch the swift and decisive action now Government Grants are in jeopardy. SAASL's reputation taking a battering in the paper today. Wraith, what Govt grants - I thought the saasl dont get any grants coz the FFSA have them stitched up with the Govt. - what do you mean? The other disappointing thing ...
