John Mead Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Just one game in the SWPL would mean a player counts as one of the three permitted to play in any League fixture Kev.

Jamo Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 So John , just as an example, say ourselves at Illogan or wendron get promoted to swpl nxt season, if we are short and need to call up players to help us from our own reserves, once they have then played 1 game for us, they ultimately can be making themselves inelligible to then drop back to our own rsserve team if we use any more than 3 of them?! That would be crazy as any team obviously uses its reserves if they are short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamo Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Just seems ridiculous robbo , I agree with Kevin with the one club ruling, at least then it encourages reserve team players to push for a first team spot, if your first team is swpl, without the worry of if he doesn't make it then is cocking himself up if he needs to drop back to his own clubs reserves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishteddyboy Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I have just been given permission by the league to update the website. St Day have been docked 21 points and the teams they played have been given those points. Those games will be recorded as 0-0 wins to St Day's opponents. All goals scored by either side will be taken away and the Golden Boot Award will be amended accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mead Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 While I believe one player, one Club would be a great rule, the FA have ruled out all attempts to bring in such a rule. They state it would be a restrictive practice and firmly believe that a non-contract player has the right to sign for as many clubs, in different Leagues as he wishes! Cornishteddyboy's post above about points deduction/awards is, of course, subject to ratification by the League Management Committee, as well as the outcome of any appeal St Day may wish to make. Proposals for Rule changes regarding the eligibility of those who have played at a higher level have already been received and will be voted upon at the next agm. There was not much wrong with the rule in place last season but it seems some clubs don't really want SWPL Reserve Teams in the Combination League. The current rule makes it almost impossible to comply, without running two separate entities within a Club - and this is not how it should be.

kevin richards Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Thank you again for your knowledge John. Unfortunately we can't compete with the FA. Unless we want this sort of fiasco to happen again, combo clubs, if you want to be a senior league, grow some balls & except that you may find yourself's playing against players who normally play in the peninsula league, unlucky !

Halfback Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I think it can only improve the standard of games in the combo if there were reserve teams from the SWPL in the league.

Deadcert Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 · Hidden by Dave Deacon, March 20, 2014 - No reason given Hidden by Dave Deacon, March 20, 2014 - No reason given Well if the league hasn't got the b######s to throw St Day out of the cup,let's see if St Day act the same way as they have a manager who has resigned twice this season,slagged off his own club in the press,acts an idiot with foul language frequentlk used on the touchline every game,lied that players don't get paid when its common knowledge they do,lives in a fantasy life where he thinks St Day are going to win the league when Illogan are in a far better team and llead St Day by a vast amount of points,Finally and most importantly has turned St Day from a well respected club to a laughing stock. But are St Day going to let Matt manage the club in the league cup with in his words 6-8 players from a higher league, and then try and ask their loyal players to see out the rest of the seasn for them. come on St Day make a stand and gt that respect you had from the other clubs in your league back!

Pitty Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Kev Totally agree with the 1 club rule whilst the FA feel it is 'restrictive' it promotes commitment and a greater team ethos and also prevents current players disgruntlement when outsiders are brought in for particular games. I do slightly disagree on the 3 player rule being restrictive, I am sure you have experienced as have I the end of season loading up that occurs which whilst not as harmful to clubs in mid table can have major consequences for sides facing relegation or battling for the league title......it's very noticeable that in recent years certain clubs with SWPL sides who struggle throughout the season suddenly start to pick up 'unexpected' points towards the end of the season. I think that maybe a 3 to 5 game qualifying period should be introduced to class someone as a player competing in a higher league as jarmo has stated it would be a nightmare for a reserve side to donate a player for a game and then suffer on their return On the St Day front what's not been mentioned is that if they've just been docked 21 points that will also be a massive fine as each game will incur a financial penalty of not only points lost but also for each player that has caused that infringement.....it could be massive! Now Matt Harris can come out in the West Briton and say he feels 'let down' but at the end of the day he's been entrusted by the St Day committee to compete in the combination league within the rules and going by the points deducted in the 20 games they have played a third of them (7) with in excess of 3 players who have competed in a higher league, it's his job to field a side legally and he should make it his business to know those rules at the beginning of the season. I think it's disappointing that it's taken this long for the combination league to act and would love to be a fly on the wall at the next combo meeting as I'm sure many clubs will be asking questions of why the season of a senior league has turned into such farce when one of the main title contenders have been punished so extensively. I'm no longer attached to a club so my views are my own but it frustrates me that things like this become a sideshow to the more important things of who is going to win the league and who will be the main contenders come Easter Sunday in the cup......football is about enjoyment and god forbid maybe a social pint between teams on a Saturday afternoon!!!

Silverdogfox Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Thinking about this issue it seems to me that there are ways in which a fairer solution could be obtained - however this would rely on the SWPL and JCCL keeping the online information re player appearances current. Something that the Trelawney League are leading the way via the FA Full time website. The practice of the Book containing the three paged pre match team sheets should be adopted so that this could be checked against the players involved in the match and confirming that nothing has changed at a later time by checking that it is the same as published on the website (removes the opportunity of teams playing ringers) The book procedure as originally used in the SWPL and also adopted by the Trelawney League.(Copies are One for the referee, one for the away side and one retained in the book for the home side, The book can then be used by the club secretary to ensure that the information provided to the league is accurate) The rule about only being able to play three players from a higher League is good. However there should be a qualifier to their status- A player who has played more than 5 games in a higher League would qualify - and conversely if a player has played 5 games after dropping down he should no longer be classified as coming from a higher league. (Based on the old Junior/Senior status method)- Hence if a reserve team player comes in to play for a first team game he is not prohibited from going back to play for the reserves Clubs should be prohibited from bringing in any players from another club that normally play in a higher league in an ad hoc basis - unless that player has fully transferred to the club. The rules as they stand could be construed as restrictive and unfair towards clubs that run more than one team. Also restrictive to players There may be additional points that others may consider important - all of which warrant debating but I do believe this is also fair to all those who have issue with sides dropping players down for important games. These may have already been proposed or maybe not - but are just my thoughts - plus I am currently not affiliated to any club so have no agenda behind these thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHEELER Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Is a bit stupid really. A reserve team should be there as progression for players to go up and gain experience in a higher level then injured players to come down to regain fitness. But this rule makes that kind of impossible doesnt it. Obviously the rules have been made but i cant say i agree with it. I can just see now players turning around saying i dont want to step up and play 1st team because i wont be able to play 2nd team anymore if other players have done the same within the club. 1 club rule for me aswell.

kempy Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Similar problems with our club having a Combo and Trelawney teams , players can only play 3 games for the Combo then they are deemed Senior . Unfortunately this has made it difficult for players to go between teams if unavailability ( which is getting worse ) and injury prevails. Some rules need to be looked at , but not everyone will be happy ! One club rule should be somewhere to start . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadcert Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 If you read Matt's article in the West Briton he ckearly states it was infact his decision to "send" a player to Truro City to play. Now just put 2+2 together here Reno was manager at Truro at that time bear in mind they have been joint managers previously,this could quite possibly be a very good set up as in return Truro might just "lend" St Day a few players at crucial times. Kempy I can't see that this 1 club rule would help that much as you would still have a senior/junior problem.if you delve into why this rule was put in place originally it was because a certain team played a junior cup final with a full senior side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le boss Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Having read all the comments it seems that clubs and managers have brought all this grief on themselves. These rules and others were never a problem back 15 - 20 years ago - back when MJP and Kev Richards were playing - and no doubt others of that era including me a little bit, never cared if our opponents had ringers and junior teams were "loaded" because it never happened regardless if a team were challenging for a title or a cup or fighting off relegation. If it happened then it only served to galvanise your desire to beat them and look them in the eye with a rye smile afterwards - never heard Mauler moan he was playing someone from the south western league - he probably made a b-line for them to introduce himself during play!! It has come more and more to the fore that teams play others from a so-called higher standard and who has chosen to do it? The clubs and the mangers and there are very few if any that would not or have not do it. Perhaps if there was more of a "gentleman's agreement" not to abuse the rule and not take the mickey, then maybe there would not be the problems there are now. Let's be honest, with the decline in standards across the board, do players dropping down really make that much difference. Spend more energy on trying to beat the ringers instead of whining about it afterwards on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riggins74 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I believe the player we are talking about here is Mikey Davies, I left post on January 11th, Mikey made his 1st appearance as a sub home to Bude on February 1st. So I can confirm during my spell at TCFC no player was loaned or agreement was arranged, so unfortunately no substance at all in this rumour.

John Mead Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 At the risk of being accused of posting the same thing repeatedly, I must point out the following:- 1. All rule changes are agreed by Clubs at a League AGM - this is after the proposed changes have been circulated to Clubs so that they can discuss them in their own committee meetings and propose any amendments. 2. All Clubs are given a League Handbook containing the League Rules, including Cup Rules. Clubs have a duty to know what the Rules are and it cannot be the fault of any individuals or Officers of the League if Clubs break those Rules - for any reason. So, in answer to cornishbarbarian, the Clubs were told about the Rules of the Cup Competitions last August when they received their Handbooks (The Rule has not changed in recent years and it has always been the case that any correctly registered player is eligible.) I don't see that any more transparency is necessary MJP, the Clubs know who sits on the Disciplinary Committee and they have a duty to apply the Rules as they are written - whether they are "ridiculous" or whether or not they agree with them !
