What were they protesting?Milhouse said:1/2 game, they protested the original game, FVSL ruled in favour of continuing the game from halftime.
Players not on the original roster cannot be added. It doesn't matter that we picked up 3 injuries this past weekend including our keeper.

perhaps dave black should change his name to Balsa2... what is his total playing time this season? like 62 mins?
Skip said:GN seem to be very disorganized of late, and I'm imagining that they have been dealing with some adversity with regards to bodies up and leaving on them, injuries etc. They made a poor decision in not dotting their I's and crossing their T's with the team roster in the Pak game vs Delta, and they have been made to pay the price.This whole debacle leaves a very indelible black mark (once again) on our league, and GN have been made the focuss of it for obvious reasons.
However........
I can't help but wonder if some of the blame should fall on the league, and perhaps even moreso, the officials on the night. If an official is checking IDs prior to a game, and there is insufficient information given and/or lack of consistency between ID and rosters, shouldn't the coach/manager be alerted to that by the officials prior to the start of the game!? I think yes! Just suppose for a moment, that the official that night had told GN that they had a player who they had some concerns over with regards to their ID/eligibility. Do you think GN would have played that player, and risked having to forfeit the game?! I doubt that very much. It seems to me that there are many different messages given to officials from the league, and in the end, the league looks bad because GN was allowed to play an entire match, only to have their win nullified by a protest.

kokanee said:As for our unorganized club, well, we had a new coach this year, but quit half way through the season because of the league not returing his phone calls, and not giving him any information for all his questions. I personally emailed the league 3 times and spoke to them via telephone about changing our team contact information and they replied back saying we will once we have time. I still do have the emails if the league ever wanted to make that an issue. The league not once called him to tell him that any of our game times or games were changed. Myself and most of our players found out from this site about what was going on about our games. We personally told our coach after hearing things on this site, and he actually found out one time the game got cancelled while he was driving to the game. He got pissed not at us, but at the league and then stopped coaching. Personally I dont mind him quitting, I just find it shitty that a league that is suppose to help teams, actually was breaking us apart.
No wonder wade, but a few decent players. They have a weak defence and an average goalie, so goals should not be hard to come by. They are more of an offensive team with guys who like to carry the ball.....Skip said:So, what's the scouting report on Surrey Sporting? Do they have a "Wonder Wade" we should worry about?
