Mark Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 No worries, didnt want people turning up at 12 and finding out theyve missed half of it. Pitch is looking outstanding for the amount of games (40+) so far. We are pretty confident with a dry day on Christmas Day it should be dry for the boxing day derby.

Tom Trust Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 St Day 8 Carharrack 0 I'd hoped Carharrack would at least score! Goals on 7, 10, 24, 30, 41, 42, 49, 80. St Day pen saved on 13. I could have missed the odd goal: Boxing Day football is a very social occasion on the touchline! Carharrack manager went on as sub late on and was red-carded 4 or 5 minutes later - I don't know what for! I was writing, looked up and saw him on his back, then get the red. St day 23 shots on target, 11 off-target (Carharrack 2, 2). Carharrack 'keeper has shipped the most goals in the division so far but has probably stopped even more. A very brave lad, very quick, great reflexes. Hell of a crowd: booze-fuelled cheering from the balcony in the final minutes greatly enhanced the atmosphere! Very good gate. Tea was free - for me! Payback from a former pupil: having taught at Redruth for so many years I bump into former pupils all over the place (such as St Day right back, Carharrack lino!) For a Carharrack supporter, not a pretty sight. Falmouth next match - ouch! Shame the coaching pair put so much into trying to teach the players how to play only to be completely ignored during games. Think I'll do a count of how many times players are caught in possession, dive in instead of jockeying and pass to the oppositon at the next game. I could identify shirt numbers responsible, too.

Fair report Tom I thought st day were the best team we've played all season despite the scoreline they played the game the right way with out taking the mick. Sending off was for a head butt the ref told me and st day had a player sent off for pushing. Real shame as there wasn't a bad tackle in the game.

Tom Trust Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 The St Ives team and bench were, indeed, the worst-behaved group I have seen for some time when they played at Carharrack. I made my feelings known at the time. A disreputable rabble who do the game of football and the Combo League no credit at all. Shame the ref didn't book the No 8 as well, for unsporting conduct.

Dagerags Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 From the old school what are you going on about there’s no school it’s just football. This is why you and Mr Trust are delusional, your pre historic. That game you talk about Mr Trust remember that guy being carried off, he hasn’t played since had an operation on his knee 3 weeks ago won’t play again for the season. On that day I think we won 9-0 it wasn’t about winning 9-0 our issue was we didn’t feel like we got the protection that we needed (and that is the sole purpose of the referee ) carharrack weren’t malicious they weren’t running round kicking they just couldnt get to the ball quick enough not there fault I know but also not our teams fault and especially not the fault of the bloke who’s been out for season this game was in September he’s currently on crutches the referee didn’t even give a foul. And as for Wednesday game Steve the best team won I’ve had a conversation with the hayle manager about that no animosity between the players or the management teams and you come on here as key member of that win, we couldn’t pass the ball forward without your flag going up, but it is what it is couldnt play without you so we all appreciate your time. And you want to start accusing people of things so what if he did I’d rather he got smashed to the floor and got up laughing rather than get up grab your left back by the neck and start a brawl. You were the linesman on that side and you were told you could give decisions in the final third( which is ridiculous) that was in the final third you could have called the ref over and told him I’m pretty sure he would of said he can do what he likes he’s been fouled but we will never know because you didn’t you waited to come on here and talk about something irrelevant.

How interesting; but, of course, that ref was making up a rule for himself (or, rather, borrowing it from rugby) and it amazes me that the FA has consistently refused to recognise this as the perfect way to stop dissent. Probably because the old dinosaurs running football down the years were too proud and stubborn to adopt a rule from rugby: too demeaning! Never mind that it would clean up the game somewhat! One big trouble is that when you pay players obscene amounts of money, some let it go to their head and adopt the attitude that they are more important than the ref, hence the mobbing; and, shown on TV, every other footballer apes the behaviour they see the top professionals display. That ref was taking a risk, though. I would have thought that any complaint by a club would have led to the CCFA (presumably we are talking Ryder days) having a bit of a word with him! I would love to see the rule introduced, especially if disputed decisions less than 10yds from the penalty area resulted in a penalty!

The referees job is not to protect participants. The Referees sole purpose is to enforce the Laws of the Game and Competition Ruling. Referees can not protect players. They can try and manage situations which could prevent certain incidents from occurring - however if a player wants to smash up another player, the referee is not going to throw himself in front of a challenge in a heroic-esque style because the player may get hurt. He will however reprimand where necessary. A good referee will also talk to the players during the game and in situations where a heavy tackle could ensue "Steadyyyy, time it" etc. If you go into games thinking the referee is their to protect players, you will lose all faith in them because a referee can not control the actions of the players.

They're there to enforce the laws and to sanction appropriately. It's important not to confuse the two. As you are well aware, we do offer a form of protection (if you want to look at it that way) where we can, by means of sanctions and game management, deal with certain situations. I don't think it's politically correct (if we are being pedantic, like I was in my post above) to state we are there to protect players - although in a round about way, we do have influence on that field.

The reason I'm making this point is because not long ago I got accused of not "protecting" a player who was getting fouled quite a bit... I couldn't protect him but I did sanction those that were fouling him. An important difference in my opinion regardless, it makes no odds whichever way we look at it, as I said previously... I'm being pedantic (bored on a Friday night waiting for baby to make an appearance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
