good year for joel sent off already what a player.
ReplyDeleteDid the Conkies play? Expected more from the Reds.
ReplyDeleteJoel is a great player, just needs to knuckle down, although decani loves to book him.
ReplyDeletehow can a ref warn one player for shouting f**K off at the top of his lungs an ignore others and when joel mutters F**k off under his breath as he turns away gets sent off refs need to be more consistent and yes it was another ulvie player that swore.
ReplyDeleteYou'd only have to compare the side from Saturday to the one on Sunday to see why the Reds went down easily.
ReplyDeletegreat to see a couple of the young Devonport boys on the scorers list. congrats to ken for giving them a chance!
ReplyDeleteThere is a difference to yelling eff out of frustration, than to direct an eff off at the referee muttered under his breath or not. I dont think the scoreline's are really the indicators to how teams will front up in the league, more a chance to run some younger upcoming players(as all four teams did on Saturday) and work on some strategical and technical elements to the game as well as playing players in new postions(ie Simon Wilson up front) and getting the km's in the legs. Does anyone know why the games are being played later than previous years??

read the rules they are both a red card so why does one get a warning an others don't
ReplyDeletei know the rules quite clearly.

Watching from the sidelines, the first instance of swearing was easily heard by the crowd standing in the shed and didnt seem to get a response from the ref. As far as the red card was concerned, noone seemed to know what was going on, players included. These poor decisions just create a double standard in the game and make it hard for everyone including the refs. Refs need to eliminate these grey areas and it will make their job so much easier. If they are going to worry about punishing players for swearing then just make the rules : any use of the F word should be a send offable offence.
ReplyDeleteIt was disappointing to see Joel sent off at a time where he seemed to be troubling the Devonport defence. It will be interesting to see how Ulverstone adjust to having Mann back in the team. He seemed to struggle with the concept of a team and became frusterated with his 'team mates'. I think this contributed to Joels frusteration which ultimately ended in an early shower. I dont want to see Ulverstone move away from the way they played last year with a real team focus and go back to being a one Mann team!
Brayden was in good form against New Town, he had scored twice already and we earned another penalty. He let someone else take it rather than seal his hat trick.
DeleteHe played longer than expected against Devonport as we had some injuries and some of the team were not up to the standard of senior football. I thought he was quite controlled in that game and understood the situation we were in.
In the game against River he played well in the first half but then River were on top most of the second half. He started to show a bit of frustration so I moved him into midfield to run it out a bit. He then coolly provided the through ball for Shaun Conkie to score the game sealing goal.
If you take all this into account, I think we'll be OK with Brayden.
I agree anon 3:17. If you want people to stop swearing then you need to just say it is a red card. The problem i see with this is what words do we blacklist? Another interesting point is... is saying F in frusteration the same as saying it directed at someone? and would saying a more severe word in frustration be given the same leeway that the frusterated F is getting? What are peoples thoughts?
ReplyDeleteI think we need to focus more on the standard of refereeing of being consistent and pulling up physical fouls and making the right decisions instead of worrying about "he said, she said".
ReplyDeleteWatching prospect play united in the first round of SH cup, a launceston play jumped into an obvious high studs up two footed tackle on the knights player head on in front of the ref. He got the ball and the player, if he didn't get the ball, chances are he could have been seeing this season out. It should have been a red, tackles like that need to be stamped out, they won't if you let them go and "play on"
So I think players should be able to get over a few words spoken on the pitch, but recovering from a broken leg takes a bit longer to get over than a pint and a handshake at the end of the game
A yellow card as a warning, as you only get a yellow card for hacking someone which I think is worse, and then of it happens again there would be no argument as you'd have been warned?
ReplyDeletethe rule states dissent (swearing)is a red card does not matter how it is said then it is up to the referee in his report to decide if it was in frustration or directed at him.
ReplyDeleteThen in the case of Joel the ref decided it was directed at him so then its a worse case and he gets 3 weeks.
So how can that happen when other players take out an opponent with a dangerous tackle and get a yellow ???????
