Soccer Follower Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 With the weather as it is and over Friday and Saturday,there will probably be some games postponed resulting in referees being available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJW Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Grampound (Duchy Div. 1) has also had no ref. for the last 2 Saturdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointers Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 PLAY SOME GAMES ON SUNDAY!!!!!! Twice the games and refs!!!!!!! It isn't hard and hasn't even been tried yet!? And before you say 'that'll be Sunday league and I want to play Saturdays' ......if your really that keen to play then you'd play sat or sun until things pick up!!!!

marrabean Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Tip top idea! I would prefer the odd Sunday here and there than have to play two evenings a week for a month at the end of the season! I just love football so if that means missing a roast dinner or two so be it!

pointers Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Can't make out if the above is sarcasm or not......!!!! But I think it's an easy answer, it just takes a bulk message to the refs to see who'd be willing to do them and also the teams to see who'd play and then make up a fixture list.....easy!!!!!!

marrabean Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 No sarcasm intended! I think it's a very good idea! The only argument against, which is always going to be an issue unfortunately, is players playing for a 1st team on a Saturday and then a reserve team in a Sunday! I know rules are in place to stop this but it will be harder to police! The idea should definitely be looked into though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish-Ref Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Most referee's do not referee on Sunday's. Don't count on having a referee just because you change the day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Rundle Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 No, but I'm sure you could get half a dozen or so that would be hapy to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish-Ref Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 there are some referee's that cover Sunday's but a lot of games are played already on Sundays; Kernow League, Vets, Womens, Sunday League etc..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Manning Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I have to agree with Cornish-Ref, referee`s who wish to referee on Sundays already do, also it would mean a referee doing a game on a Saturday as well, so i would guess that those willing to do that are already doing it.

pointers Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Rubbish, there's plenty out there who are willing to do both sat and sun, and lots that don't currently do sun but would do to help get through the fixtures, even if you only have x2 refs say yes....that's x2 more games than not even trying!!!!! The 'can do' attitude in some people is near non existence and until the question has been actually asked to refs and clubs the negativity will continue!!! This is a simple solution so what's the harm in trying it instead of knocking it?? There's a hell of a lot 'ifs' and 'buts' from B manning and Cornish ref but why don't you just embrace it and encourage the county to have a go instead of being so negative all the time!!

B Manning Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Well pointers I for one will not be doing it, if I wanted to referee on Sunday`s i would already be doing it. Call it negative if you like but it`s fact.as far as I am concerned. We all know the cause so why should I go out and get a second helping of abuse the remedy is already in your and others hands.

pointers Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 'We all know the cause'......but some refs are a little more understanding shal we say and are willing to keep showing willingness to the game we all love,rather than throwing toys out of our prams and stomping our feet!

B Manning Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Pointers, as I have done at least 40years in the game I think I have shown plenty of willingness to officiate when needed, so lecture not really needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoodyWisp Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 more to the point in hand regarding the topic any official refs available down the Coombe for mousehole Constainte lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monty Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Once again Ref bashing now because of lack of commitment ??? Well I for one would like to say for the record, "what a load of old poppycock" . I for one don't referee Sunday's due to the fact I referee Saturday's and numerous times during the week helping out colleges and school games and for myself personally Sunday is family time. I refereed Friday night and for one reason or another my game Saturday at Bideford was postponed due to them being involved in the FA trophy on Sunday so I made myself available to the appointments officer at about 10am and didn't really care were he sent me? There was only a few games available and with a bit of juggling as Mr Murphy does superbly I was waiting for a answer from Mousehole 3rds to see if sending me from Falmouth to Coombe too referee there game vs Constantine res was acceptable, the answer was the pitch is waterlogged and they where not happy about paying my expenses. After a bit more juggling from Mr Murphy who himself has to officiate appointed me to Falmouth Town 3rds vs Newlyn lions, even after discussions with Town management I accepted a 3pm KO due to Newlyn travelling and rounding players up only to be told match off due to Newlyn unable to raise a side!!!! So I as a level 4 sat at home at 13:54 on a Saturday afternoon willing to referee anywhere have no game, and I have to listen to the moaning of teams saying about shortage of referees when in fact these teams are too eager to call games off too quickly need to take a lot of the responsibility. There are a lot of referees who officiate outside of Cornwall and so the chances are that games could and will be called off due the weather difference, so please wait as long as possible before cancelling games because you may never know?

Marazion2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 To be honest Lee I would pay anything requlired to have you referee our game. One of the best mate and I've run the line when you have been in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointers Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Monty I think your missing my main point here, it's the fact that games are mainly being postponed due to no ref, when there are atleast a handful out there who'd be willing to play on Sundays and also a handful of refs willing to also do Sundays, lets get those games fixtured and get some extra games played!!!! No brainer!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Manning Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 pointers, if it`s a "no brainer" as you say I take it you have been onto the Leagues to put this suggestion forward as no amount of posts on this forum will put this suggested change of yours in place.

erby ruin Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I personally think if teams both agree to a Sunday game and can get a ref why not ... end of day csom do so why can't everyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointers Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 People associated with all leagues and ccfa read this forum so I'm sure if they can be bothered they will act, it's not up to me to come up with these ideas they have taken the responsibility on and should be thinking of these things on their own!

B Manning Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Wrong pointers not everybody reads this forum, so on that basis you should contact the Leagues with your idea`s, but at a guess I think you would not bother, that`s the problem with apathy no one gives a *****. I also know that the CCFA do not read this forum as a rule.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topper Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I believe it would cause a whole lot of problems - as a qualified referee who has recently taken a sabatical to manage my local side, I feel qualified to comment. From a referee's point of view those who wish to officiate on a Sunday already do but many do have families etc - you seem to forget that many referees (not all admittedly) are ex-players who are trying to give something back and are likely of an age when 'family' time is required or divorce may be looming! My main concern from a managerial point of view is the problem that often occurs at the end of a season when many first teamers turn out for their reserve teams and when we're talking both teams being in junior football and within same leagues (for example we have two teams Duchy 1 & 4) there is no rule to prevent someone playing for both teams which I personally believe to be morally questionable. I have also seen this occur when towards the end of the season double-headers are played on the same pitch where the 1st team have played first and then half of them turn out for there reserves! I would however like to say that 'Pointers' is at least thinking outside of the box and although I do not think this is the solution, I do welcome someone bothering to voice some positive ideas.

Guest Monty Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Thats why leagues etc meet once a month, any concerns should be directed through club reps and the voiced at these respective meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
