Sounds reasonable to me. The penalties are also set out quite clearly in the competition rules so alclubs know what they are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680702098928192986.post-21381068046898534482011-07-02T23:42:21.671-07:002011-07-02T23:42:21.671-07:00The referees are allowed to, and regularly do, iss...The referees are allowed to, and regularly do, issue warnings Gerry. It's just that some players aren't clever enough to take the warnings on board & play with the necessary discipline from there on. Well done to both teams yesterday, the report I got from the ground was that it was a scrappy game that was very fiery early but settled down from there. I agree with your thoughts on Andy Gibson also, I've always rated him as a player & he seems to have his head screwed on unlike some of his hot headed, mostly former, teammates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680702098928192986.post-46866051859886138712011-07-02T21:40:49.601-07:002011-07-02T21:40:49.601-07:00It was a pleasant change to witness a match with n...It was a pleasant change to witness a match with no send offs. Our sport is being treated by our league administrators like a Sunday school picnic.Whilst not supporting anarchy or profanity the over use of the Red Card is akin to using a Sledge hammer to crack a Walnut. As a spectator I pay through the gate to watch an even contest between to teams of eleven. Not a ruined lop sided affair. Why are referees not allowed in the first instance to issue a warning. Three to Four matches suspension out of a 16 match season. No wonder certain players get frustrated. Ulverstone v Burnie through the eyes of a Burnie follower. Sam Cocks showed his versatility switching to the back line. Paul Bremner covered every part of the pitch. Andy Gibson one of the longest serving members of the team ,whose efforts in the mid field often go un noticed along side Ashley Smith with the telescopic legs.It was to the credit of the fitness of the Burnie boys that half of them had already played in the Unders or Reserve matches.gerry guntonnoreply@blogger.com
