Good Morning Folks

 

Today Im going to Falmouth United v Frogpool Reserves, I will be tweeting as the goals go in, as will be doing a match report and posting the photos on my blog after the match later this evening.

 

I do have a quick question, I have noticed on the Falmouth United website that they play at Penryn College and know there must be parking there, where abouts is the parking for the pitch please, as I have been to college grounds before and there are 100's of car parks lol

 

Many thanks in advance

They come back to Penryn afc after for a bit food, welcome back if you like, 100 yards down the road.

Falmouth Utd 13-0 Frogpool Res , outstanding football from Falmouth all game also missing several other good chances along with a handful of one on one saves from the Frogpool keeper .

Dissappointing to see the infighting and lots of foul language between the Frogpool players which the referee did nothing about .

Thanks for the kind words about the football, thought after the initial spat was out of the way that frogpool conducted themselves much better. Falmouth were clearly the better team today but a lot of sides would have resorted to kicking and getting shitty with the Falmouth youngsters but frogpool didn’t and kept plugging away. Good luck to frogpool from all at Falmouth, thanks for coming back to Penryn FC after too 👍

Referee should have booked the Frogpool players for the foul language. The game will never be rid of this sort of thing if the officials do nothing. The watching public don't want to have to listen to it. Many folk stay away from the game because of it and families stay away. It's no good simply to say ''oh it's part of everyday life these days''. Not everyone want's to hear it and not everyone speaks like that. 

More difficult to deal with when between team mates.

Not at all sir. Watching Okehampton Argyle v Axminster some seasons ago, the referee booked two Argyle players for constant use of foul language, at each other and anyone else as they saw fit and, then sent both players off for a second yellow for the same offence. Not a swear word was heard during the rest of the match. 

The ref was Stuart Kane who had an excellent match all round and, a number of the crowd, including myself, told him so when he blew the final whistle. Officials need to step up and do it regularly to bring it to an end. 

Personally I think this is something that needs addressing at professional level if it’s going to punished more at Sunday league. Kids watching professionals swearing at refs on TV and getting away with it doesn’t set good standards. Pretty sure for £50k a week we could all stop swearing full stop given the chance 😂.

Because one official does it, means its not difficult!? Nonsense. Let’s be realistic, when its a verbal argument between team mates it is more difficult for referees to manage, especially in this case as I believe the referee is still very new.

Keith, you cannot use the yellow card for foul and abusive language, it isa red card offence.

If referees were told by the FA to yellow card any player using foul/bad language, those players wouldn't want a second yellow for any foul committed during play. Stuart Kane has been a referee for at least 8 or 9 years or more Dave - if you're referring to him ?

I think if refs started regularly booking for foul or bad language it would stop. Coaches would go nuts if players were red carded for bad language. Let's face it, it only takes a bit of self control doesn't it ?! 

I meant the referee referred to in the game this weekend.

 

I totally agree with you, problem being when bad language can be heard but person cannot be identified. Then what? It would be a nightmare. The better thing would be for players and managers to show some self-control anyway!

So Stuart Kane was wrong then in the Okehampton v Axminster match ? 

Stuart Kane was wrong if he issued a yellow card for foul language which should attract a straight red.
We agree with you wholeheartedly Keith B. that foul language although accepted by some, is in the eyes of the rules of the game rewarded with a red card.
This is wholly in the hands of the referee to implement the rule, and not cherry pick which rule is ignored and which law is implemented.
If the person who swore can not be identified, that situation is no different than any other situation when it's unclear who committed a foul.
We also understand that the present system where referees are marked down by a club who dissagree with decisions he has made during a game, is a system that will forever affect the referee who is hoping to either move up the ladder or even maintain his position at it's current level.
Get rid of the club marking system, and you may well be rewarded with an improved referees performance.

Keith many many years ago now I reacted to foul language from behind me i turned around and  sent off the the player, it wasn’t until after the game it was pointed out I had got the wrong player, big lesson learned, now in that situation I need to hear clearly what is said also I need to see the player actually mouth the words.

[mbkted]

For me foul language is probably best to be judged on the situation, location, who it’s directed at

If I miss a sitter, happens regularly, and I call myself names using foul language then its maybe not as bad as screaming at the top of your voice when you mess up.

a lot of football these days is played on public parks with playgrounds nearby so the foul language should definitely be punished in that instance.

However if you happen to direct it at the ref then it’s definitely time to go for a cold shower.

For me mbkted, foul language is never acceptable no matter where you are. As a young lad, my parents instructed me that bad language is never appropriate and should not be indulged in. Yes sadly we hear it everywhere these days, but that does not make it acceptable and frankly, it always sounds awful.

Self discipline is what is required. If you fall into the habit of using bad language, it will become just that - ''a habit''. Many folk who use it don't realise they are swearing because it has become a habit. 

Years ago watching a rugby match at Plymouth Albion, my wife and I happened to have sitting behind us, three lads (late teens/early twenties) whom it seemed couldn't open their mouths without swearing. In the end I turned around and challenged the three of them. I said if they continued to use filthy language I'd knock their teeth out. They stared at me and I said ''do you want to come outside now and try me'' ? They shook their heads and said nothing. The rest of the game was played out in silence from behind. At the end of the match I turned and thanked them. ''It just shows what you can do if you put your mind to it'' I said.

Self discipline sir. End of sermon 🙂.

That’s fair enough mate and it’s each to their own I suppose

i can tolerate it in certain times and certain situations

Think the heading FALMOUTH UNITED should be changed as after the first 3 replies this whole thread is about swearing and different people’s views and nothing to do with our club 😂😂

So foul language is not allowed, but threats of violence are ok??😂.
