The best refs I have seen are ones that don't think it is all about them.
So not Steve Vlassis then :evil:
Would have to say Steve is one of the better refs we have had this year, he talks to players, explains his reason...has never like too much back chat but has improved a great deal from what I have seen of him this year.....either that or Knights have pegged back on chatting to him :)
I can guarantee there are more mistakes during games made by players. Players appeal for everything, regardless of if someone touched the ball or player, they to try and sway decisions and often the biggest 'names' are the worst, in the referees faces constantly......just sayin' .

Not saying they don't become refs just they are not allocated to games where they have played or coached teams.

Seems like a family basic conflict of interest, especially at our level of football.

But then again, you can argue that refs at all levels have teams they support and dislike, so it's probably a hard thing to monitor.

All current club affiliations are to be nominated when you register each year for SAARSA membership. I have never seen any conflicts of interest from any current referees. My biggest gripe this year however with some referees (& told them accordingly) is their inability to control games at times every one makes mistakes that's a given players & coaches included.

I think you'll find they do read correct.... 2 - 3 was gardens win. And 0 - 1 in the reserves. :clown:[/quote]

The scores may be correct, it's how they were achieved that's wrong, loading teams is wrong, if Gardens win the C league they will do knowing that they have done so with a side that was playing a level below, in my book it's called cheating......it will be a title that means nothing.....FACT.[/quote]

Did you not drop players last night Filbert? Now if use blokes win league your title will mean nothing bunch of muppets!

to play again this season but the C's were short so he played Rudi has
played C's & B's all season Vlad is the ressie coach and went in goals
as Ash the regular keeper was away and to show how despRATe and
Depleted both the C's & B's were the Rodent was asked to have a run.
Why would we stack our C's when the B's are in the hunt for the league

You would think Vista main priority would be to stay up in Div 1 not win the C league! They need atleast a point against downs or farm to stay up! What if one the As or Bs players were injured last night and cant play sunday mmmm. Not to mention both As and Bs coaches had no idea that some of their players were playing Cs until theybseen them warmingup for the Cs. Wouldng suprise me to see lota of players leave next year!

Russell, thanks for the consistent criticism. Can always count on you to reflect negatively on my performance(becoming a regular occurrence). I'm just surprised your alter ego Old Redback doesn't weigh into the conversation. Especially as a lot of your conversations are with each other(yourself??? :roll: )

As you see me as a terrible referee Russell I assume you could do a good job yourself????

Just for the record, Every player that played last night against Raptors started the season with the C grade, there were about 6 players that have played B's because of injury's and suspension but are primarily C grade players. The one player that was supposedly an A grade player is 18 years old, played for me for the last 2 years in the colts and has played BIT parts for A grade because of a shortage of players at the top level, we also were told by Raptors that they would be fielding a decent side ( C's B's and i think one A grade player ) so it was only right that i fielded a strong C grade side.
Thanks to Raptors for there honesty in the side they were fielding, it made for a really good game, our 6-0 win didn't do them justice, it flattered us somewhat but in the 2 games we have had against them have been really competitive and good football was played by both sides.

I do however think after my comments on Sunday about cheating that this was wrong ( I am a bad loser ) and i shouldn't have called anyone a cheat, if i have offended anyone then i apologise, we all say and do things in the heat of the moment and i am no different, thanks.

I don't ref as I don't think I would be any good. Whilst I appreciate that we need referees it is still a free country and I can express that I don't think you are very good at it. In the same way great players don't necessarily become great coaches, it also follows that people who have been around football a long time don't necessarily make the best refs. The advantage you have is that you can learn from criticism and also have every right not to accept it. No personal agendas Brad I just don't think that the moment, only from what I have seen you are any good. That being said - and those that know me will attest - that when I do see something I think is good I will be happy to eat my words and acknowledge it and do it publicly.

As for questioning my athletic ability it is fair to say that my best days are in the rear view mirror. I stopped performing when I realized that my performances were no longer of an acceptable standard - may be there is some wisdom there? :D

the problem reffs have is that they can only please 50% of the crowd. i confess i was a serial ref abuser as a player and it was only when i started coaching that i realised i could have been a better player if i hadnt. :( :roll:

Unfair to call out brad here, I for one think he is one of the better refs.

His common sense approach comes from previous playing and coaching experience.

Just because you don't agree with his decisions doesn't mean he is incorrect, YOU could be wrong... Heaven forbid!

Plus it is very anti productive to ref recruitment to call them out here. The fact of the matter is that there are not enough of them and this sort of "attack" needs to be removed from this forum ASAP.

Brad, to you, please don't listen to this one persons comments... Please keep doing what you're doing, you are valued highly in the amateur league. There aren't too many people that have provided the service that you have over the years both as div 1 player, coach and now ref... You should actually be given a medal for your commitment.

Keep it up!

Totally agree with this. Keep up the great work Brad.

i'm more than happy to take criticism from creditable people but from someone who has conversations with himself under 2 user names I don't think so...
Plenty of creditable people at the Downs (coaches and players seem to have a good rapport with me) you just aren't one of them!!

as for no personal agenda??? numerous slagging's after downs games ( but no one else has copped it!!)

on a lighter note

I concur. Thought Brad was one of the better ones when I was still playing.
