is an overage player a) eligible or b) ineligible?

I'd have thought it was quite a simple one!

How would you describe an 18 year old in terms of the U10s? Eligible or ineligible?

PS. The word 'Under" is a clue.

Why are you asking me the same question that I asked you?

Clearly, he is inelegible and therefore covered by Keith Hackett's guidelines for dealing with ineligible players.

QUITE SIMPLE REALLY!

Indeed you are.

[Con]

the principal is the same of it being an "ineligible" player.

Hate to encroach on this fine legal discussion fellas - and I don't mean to correct the English/spelling of an Englishman like God/Allah is an Englishman, but shouldn't the word "principal" be spelt "principle"?

As in "principal" could mean a school principal or headmaster as opposed to "principle" meaning a fundamental truth as basis of reasoning, etc...

Correct Con, just Hawkesy showing us all how clever he is. Another pseudo intellectual like Colossus.

You better be very watchful over the next nine years then, matey!

Now, now Polska Bomber - I ain't no spelling nazi telling an Englishman what's what..

But with your blessing God/Allah is an Englishman, can I correct any apostrophe mistakes?
Remember Julia Gillard's apostrophe poem which goes:

One cat's mat, two cats' mats....

Whatever you want to think is fine by me, you simply ignore anything you don't like, or try to divert using a spurious argument.

Perhaps you're being deliberately obtuse saying that 'ineligible' has the same import in junior football as in the professional (open age group) game (which Hackett was talking about), but maybe it's not deliberate at all.

[God is an Englishman]

what's the definition of ineligible?

Try Googling it.

Nothing to give up on. You have no argument. I've already said about 100 posts ago that, if you're a qualified FFSA referee and you tell me that they are happy for an overage player to participate, that I accept that this is the case. IMO it's wrong.

You've gone off on some tangent that bears no relation to the original post or what we were talking about.

Little things please little minds I'd suggest.

And whilst you're looking up the definition of ineligible you could look up principal as well

[God is an Englishman]

you've been told by 2 ffsa qualified and one fifa ranked. What more do you want?

Whilst you've got your nose buried in that dictionary, try looking up the definition of 'opinion'.

You gave your "opinion" on what should happen, I told you the facts of how referees are instructed.

I love your picking on my one spelling mistake, a mistake that you didn't even notice.

Time to accept it.

Calm down, no need to shout. Obviously I noticed it, I'm an educated man, but I chose not to point it out until Con raised the issue

Educated - I went to a secondary school and everythink.
