Player Behaviour & Referee Abuse
Attention all teams/clubs,
As has been previously mentioned at club meetings, abuse of referees within the IAFA has been appalling this season and will not be tolerated.
A referee has resigned after continually being verbally abused on the weekend. We do not have enough refs as it is and this kind of incident does not encourage people to become refs or remain in the refereeing ranks.
The IAFA Committee will deal with all teams and players involved in abuse of referees very harshly.
Please show some respect and accept the decisions of the referees as they call them. This is not a professional competition. You are playing for the enjoyment of the game.
Our refs often do not have proper assistants nor do they have the luxury of video cameras to help them. Their decisions are made on the spot and as players we need to accept that decision and play the game as it unfolds.
Let's treat the referees as we would like to be treated ourselves if we were in their shoes.
RESPECT
Regards
IAFA Committee

Dear SHogs please take note
ReplyDeleteumm.."proper" refs don't have video cameras to help them either - if anything video cameras simply highlight their mistakes - we just have to use our eyes to spot refs mistakes!
