How Amatuer is the league?

[Karmann Ghia]

The make up of Sunday Div 1 in 2014, which is arguably the pinicle of the whole SAASL, has its make up in doubt with a relegation battle between 3 clubs, West Beach, Pontian and Fulham. Two out of those three will go down. With the game scheduled two weeks ago between Beach and Fulham cancelled, the result of that game could decided who has the privilege of playing div 1, the league has still yet to set a date of when this game is to be played. Why is this so?

Why has this not been rescheduled for a midweek game? Underlights At Fulham or even Grange? There is no league that I know of that would play a game of such importance after the final round of the season. Is it the players who say they can't play under lights so no night games or do the players say hey we are a Sunday team and can only play Sundays???

The league has not informed any club of when this is be played. Having been involved in the SAASL for over 10 years this is really disappointing as many people put their heart and soul, time and of course money, to help their respective clubs play at the highest level possible. I have started to realise why so many give the game away, when governing bodies don't make the right call or delay a decision to let it sort it self out so they don't look like the bad guys in making a decision.

Maybe I should of thought about the associations name first and then realised how these issues get treated. Amateurish!

Amateur not Amatuer...
I would have thought catch up games might have to be organised by 'agreement' between the two clubs involved...then seek SAASL and the Referee co-ordinator's approval :?

[bloodypassit]

KG your comments are very poor.... Whilst a game hasnt been arranged to your knowledge or satisfaction . Maybe you should look at your own club and its behavior to officials and others.

Have you bought the issue up with the SAASL or you thought you would air your dirty laundry here.....

Bit harsh on the league there. It is normally up to the clubs to reorganise the game and if they can't agree, the SAASL will decide. Probably should be on this weekend given its a cup round. Just earn some points and then the result wont matter for Pontians.

[bloodypassit]

West beach still in the cup

Should your name be jayrunning

There you go. Fair reason why it hasn't been played so far

[Karmann Ghia]

boys just my opinion, can't call it dirty laundry!

Calls have been made to the league and to Alex with no answers or return phone calls. With only 3 weeks to go and no spare Sundays when will the game be played???

As for your comment bloodypassit happy for you to start a thread to discuss the Pontians. This was about a lacklustre governing body.

People have been complaining for years how late fixtures come out and cup games drawn etc etc, yeah I know there volunteers but can't be that hard to say teams you must play on this day to make the league fair and equitable.

I remember a few years back when Bosna and Croatia were in a relegation tussle with Vista the SAASL told Bosna and Croatia they had to play their catchup game on a specific wednesday night before the end of the season.

[God is an Englishman]

I know of many leagues where the last games are not all played together on the same day.

[Not so special one]

All catch up league games should be played on cup rounds if the teams are not involved in the cup. It should be a rule at the start of the season with no excuses. SAASL should schedule the games on cup rounds & if a club can't play then they should forfeit. If everyone knows this then the end of season advantage of playing when you know what result is required is not an option. The old story of all our players are away because it's a cup round should not count for a postponement.

[Thunder Man]

Let's not assume the two teams in question haven't discussed the options.
Sturt and BOSA are in the same boat.
We haven't declared a date as yet but league are aware and both clubs are on the same page.

I will agree that league communications can be extremely poor.
Although perhaps there is nothing to declare yet.

Game has already been re-scheduled KG to both clubs satisfaction and the leagues and that's all that matters.

Ask Alex

[God is an Englishman]

Some people need to realise they play amateur football and stop worrying about such petty things.

Exactly it is very amateur.

As for bigpond, nice comment.

And thats the problem questions have been asked with no answer. Just a farce.

Look without doubt Pontians look likely to be in div 2 next year but this should be out in the open. Like I said its all amateurish isnt it!

[beach boy]

when is the game
west beach would like to know so we can show up

Ask Alex as it needs to come from the league "officially".

Nothing official until it comes from them.

Maybe they are trying to schedule it in at Hindmarsh during the semi finals might be a big game to decide who gets relegated.

Is there anybody at Fulham with above kindegarten mentality who can advise when this game will be played??

Bigpond is playing the Kindy game of "i know something you dont know" - what a w@nker!!

The home club should consider promoting this game to attract people to it and to potentially increase revenue at the bar and canteen

Get off your high horse mate.

I put in a request for a date as it was our home game after discussing it with the coach.

League has not got back to us yet confirming the date and have heard nothing back from anyone at the league.

So like I said until we hear something back why say a date when they might go and change it and hence why I am saying go ask Alex and the league.

As soon as it is official I will be happy to tell you all.
