Why $20? Why not? Lot's of parents put there kids value higher than it actually is. Charging $20 weeds out a lot of kids that "just want the experince of trying". I have seen it time and time again kids at a level well below the standard on the field making the whole evaluation poor due to their...
Cynic? How so? Things in the North Fraser district are far from good. GEU and Pitt have partnered for thier own interests. Don't pull Shankland in if you haven't talked with him on his views as he coaches NFS for his kids sake not the programs!
As for SFC good club going through a lot of...
Whistle blower is right but also wrong here. Yes respect to officials is important but just as important is the need for officials to own up for their major errors here. I have no problem saying guys you know what I messed that one up and I am sorry. But to run a round the park smiling all day...
Was at the match last night in Langley and have to say the Red was a poor outcome for frustration of poor officiating. As a former FVSL ref I have to say that there were 3 major incidents in this match that changed the tide quickly. Less than 2 minutes into the second there was a blatant hand...
Re: Fvsl Discipline And Fines.
We are not in England and I would care to venture nobody is paying to watch any games here in the FVSL. Big difference! In England the fans pay big money to see their stars and referees are held under a microscope. The microscope here is not so detailed but...
Re: Referee improvements/feedback?
Bulljive,
What advantages do you want to let go and what ones do you want called? Sometimes playing an advantage sets a bad tone as to what is ok or not. Sometimes taking away an advantage leads to frustration on the attacking teams’ behalf but sometimes...
Re: FVSL Cat Division - 2003/2004
I heard yesterday that the funding has been approved for a second turf field in the Ridge and construction will begin this fall.
Bertrum,
Check your private messages and let me know what you think.
Re: FVSL Cat Division - 2003/2004
Bertrum,
What camps do you run? I thought GEU has a hired tech staff that do thier camps? Isn't John Sneddon their lead man? Who's talking out of their ass?
$200 to play for the season, that's terrible. That works out to $25 a month, probaly the cost of...
Re: FVSL Cat Division - 2003/2004
I am not from the GEU club!
Don't you guys get paid for the work done at the fair?
As for your age and families line, give me a break. I am also in my 30's and find time to Referee and coach. I train at least twice a week with my squad and run other...
Re: FVSL Cat Division - 2003/2004
Your second last sentence says it all. "They had players come out and help with clinics, etc." This is not the case with GEU and their men's players. They imo simply want to play and give nothing back becasue they are to busy.
I am interested to know how...
Re: FVSL Cat Division - 2003/2004
Girth / Dude,
Actually I am from another Club, but referee a number of GEU games. I agree that you guys need to be treated fairly and should have access to fields. My reply was trying to help you, not piss you off. Leaving the area might fix the problem now...
I don't do much work in the Valley therefore maybe the AR didn't notice me or know who I was. Actually I don't do much men's as the abuse is not worth the effort. Went out to watch hoping to pick up some pointers. As for your assumptions sorry but this time you are mistaken.
Oh, it's was your first game back from break? I am sorry I guess it is a good reason than. Not good enough for the refs but fine for the players. I guess because the refs get paid than they are suppose to be perfect but because the players are paying to play it's ok to make mistakes. Let's see...
Seems that Star and JBeck happy with the official tonight. I'd be more concerned with the lack of soccer that was played. 9 goals in a Premier match. Great game of kick and run. Goaltending? what tending 9 goals. Yeah a couple of crackers I stress a couple that leaves 7 unspoken for. Not much...
