Saturday Div 3 Predictions, Results, Thoughts, Rumours

[Right Back]

Adelaide Uni (2) 0 - 0 ACU Falcons (Reserves 4-0)

Not a good result for either team but could have been worse given the A's were missing 2 of the best and the ressies played 80 mins with 10 men after a questionable red card early on.....

I was watching that game...how can a deliberate hand ball by the last defender be a questionable red card, especially as it was going to go over his head to a Uni player running forward on his own for a 1 on 1 with the GK? Got to love excuses!

I bring you to Law 12 of the game:

A player, substitute or substituted player is sent off if he commits any of the
following seven offences:

Number 4 is: "denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball (this does not apply to a goalkeeper within his own penalty area)"

I'm not questioning the fact that he deliberately handled the ball and, what I'm questioning is whether the goal scoring opportunity was obvious becuase from where I was standing (directly opposite the linesman on the goal side in question) it appeared like the thru-pass was going to reach the keeper way before the striker would have got to it should the defender not have handled it, therefore not making it a obvious goal scoring opportunity.

The more appropriate sanction would have been a yellow card also in accordance with Law 12 "There are circumstances when a caution for unsporting behaviour is required when a player deliberately handles the ball, e.g. when a player deliberately and blatantly handles the ball to prevent an opponent gaining possession"

And chelseaforthewin, I'm sorry I won't be there for our clash this week becuase of work committments but I made a request at the end of last season for that ref to be stood down, whether that happened or not I don't know.

Why dont you just bring your club ref with you if God forbid our guys still there...

ACU Falcons 2 - 1 Pumas (Reserves 2-1)

ACU Falcons 2 - 1 Pumas (Reserves 2-1)

Referee's in both games were atrocious and in my opinion falcons should have a good hard look at there club referee. Not blaming the ref for the poor performance we showed today but it definitely contributed to it. Absolutely disgraceful reffing

I was waiting for a comment about the ref despite not actaully seeing the game, but if it's a real problem why dont you personally take it up with the club?

Adelaide Pumas 4 - FC Adelaide 1

Reserves - Pumas 1 - FC Adelaide 5

[falcon]

3A - Monarchs 1 - Falcons 1

was a good game, monarchs were with 10 men for last 20 mins or so but we could not use that advantage.
monarchs are a very good team, have quite a few smart experienced players that make them hard to beat.

Red Blue Eagles 3 - 1 Gleeson FC

Gleeson dominated second half after going 3 goals down, just couldnt find the back of the net after having plenty of chances.

Red Blue Eagles 3 - 1 Gleeson FC

Gleeson dominated second half after going 3 goals down, just couldnt find the back of the net after having plenty of chances.

Gleeson def a good side. Will be right up there.
To be fair though after going 3-0 up after 50 minutes.....we stopped playing and were happy to soak up the pressure. Did get a bit nervy though towards the end.

Flinders 1 - 0 Pumas (5-2)

A's game Pumas controlled majority of the game... simply didnt put chances away... also Flinders keeper with a few class saves. Great finish by flinders to get there goal.

Apparently the same thing happened against Red Blue Eagles on the weekend. Player through, sweeper pulls his hand out to stop the ball. He only got a yellow though, couple of the boys were livid haha!!

[aufcOfRed]

A: Gleeson 4 - 2 OISC (2)
B: Gleeson 5 - 3 OSIC (2)

Good game, gleeson finally closed the game out when the 4th was scored.

this happened in the seniors against red blue eagles, the handball was close to the halfway line so it wasnt exactly through on goals. u could argue that the falcons defender was lucky but the ref could tell it was a reflex reaction that the player regreted immediately.
childs did the exact same thing a minute later for redblue eagles so a precedent had been set, overall i thought the ref did a good job

[falcon]

Redblue eagles 3 def Falcons 2

this was a really good game and i now think RBE r the team to beat, they r the best team we've played this year, midfielders v skillful and up front they r a handful as well.
we missed a few chances and were not happy with how we conceded our goals but overall it was a good game and RBE deserve their points

[Juventino]

A big thankyou to the Linesman who called 90% of FCA (B's) attacking entires off side, mostly coz he felt like putting up his flag than actually calling a legit offside...

Yeah between the 2 teams we had half a dozen out (myself included) but u guys are top so I assume u deserved the points plus we can show we've at least temporarily replaced the ref that everybody seems to hate....
