and from FSC
A statement from FSC today
Hi all
So far this season there have been a lot of red cards which is unacceptable.
As most already know the suspensions are severe.
Most of these red cards have been for abusive language towards the referees.
This will not be tolerated and team coaches/managers need to remind their players that harsh penalties will be handed out and further penalties such as deregistration can occur.
Referees can make mistakes as players do so show them some respect and stop the abuse.
You have been warned.

From the refs
Dear all
Please ignore the dreadful spelling and grammar (refs, they really haven't got an effing clue) and try to have a read of this directive from the head of the amateur refs boss. Ian wished for it to be passed on. Seems he is also taking some heat after being audited for not producing a couple of cards in recent games, so be prepared for a more strict attitude in the coming weeks.
Attention Referees
It has come to my attension that over the past 2 months since the commencement of the competition that there has been an increase of disturbing offenses and violent conducts on and off the feild. As you know in the 2010 season the focus was to cut down and irradicate offensive language. A dramatic decline in offenses and improvemnt to standards was reached, but unfortunatly 2011 season has shown no signs of continuation and sustainment what was atcheived last year.
From reports filled to me by association commitee members AND also witnessing a number of issues personally on my visits around the grounds inspecting other referees i feel a larger part of the blame is there is an inconsistancy of Yellow and Red card being delt to genuine blatent offenders. Whether its LEANIANCY or PLAIN LAZY to fill out forms has brought us to the decision to apply a ZERO TOLERANCE directive to all Amateur Referees.
Gentalmen it is very simple- if it is a red card offence regardless what degree/severity the offence was IT IS A RED CARD, not a yellow or a simple WORD WARNING. If you are conducting in this manner it is to cease immediatly.
Yellow cards are issued to fouls that are intentionally commited or have intentianally ATTEMPTED to commit a foul.
The cards you hold are one of a number of TOOLS you use in a culmination of techniques used in seeing out a game to restore order in the best interest of the game and its players.
A voilent conduct for eg. is not only when someone is punched its as simple as a shove.
an offensive or abusive language or gesture is not only when someone swearing or offensive hand gesture its as simple as saying for eg; "You got no idea ref" or "get some glasses are you blind" or "you gotto be stupid not to give that". I hope everybody can get the picture from where im going from.
Yes i do acknowledge that everyone is different in the perseption of being offended but for what i have seen and heard myself said to referees especially, was 10x worse and should be without excuse delt correctly so dont think just because his punch did not connect he does not get a red card.
Finally we have no option to also apply that any referees failing to adopt the ZERO TOLERENCE directive will be forwarded to the ISRA RDC for reveiw and will not be rostered untill authorised approval from the Referees Disaplinary Commitee is received.
It is very disturbing to me and im sure to other fellow Referees that the failure of a UNIFORM direction/standards have and will continue to deture referees from the game.
Last of all without disclosure i strongly encourage a fellow member to reconcider his deicition to resign, whether its immediately or after a break and to also realise that not one member is alone and that they have the full support of its members and associated commitee bodies .

Pumas 3 Whites 2
The Whites deserved at least a point from this, especially after leading 2-1 with 20 minutes to go. Credit to Port, they are a class team riddled with ex-premier league players and when you create as many chances as they do you wont lose many.
After enduring 15 minutes of puma attack at the start the Whites drew first blood with a nice turn and chip from AB to open the scoring. The pumas then had a penalty awarded when the ball hits Al on the elbow in a box skirmish. After consulting the touchie, whos answer was " yeah hand ball, clear as mud" while wearing his Port Kembla cap, Dennis pulls off the save of the year. Shame the touchie wasnt so clear on the offside rule. Weight of possession told and the pumas returned to parity just before the break.
The second half saw the Whites midfield start to dominate and the goal of the match from Steve Higson soon followed. With Jono winning the ball and pushing it left, nice lead up from Kirky lead to big Steve breaking down the wing and his cross met emphatically by SteveH who buries it. 2-1 up, can we hold on?
No we cant. The fastest puma striker scores in bizarre fashion with the ref decides that deliberately leaving the ball to shoulder charge the defender is fine and played the advantage to Port! One of many baffling decisions. Our blokes had practically stopped when the ball is slotted past Dennis. 2-2.
I didnt see the 3rd pumas goal because I was off getting a drink. To their credit Coledale attacked to the end, and went close on several occasions, SteveH's corner hit the post in the dying minutes the most agonising. Shame not to get anything out of this game, but it was a huge improvement from the Jamberoo debacle the week before.
To any non Coledale players reading this, of course there is a huge home blog bias in this match report.

What was in the Mars Bar slice?
Saturdays match against the Razorbacks had a little something for everyone. Eight goals some outrageous, the worlds shortest goalie, the referee sending himself off for 5 minutes, squally showers and the most unexpected of all.....Huckys first goal!
Playing on a ground in an part of the Illawarra that looks like it should be quarantined, the Whites created another little piece of history with its 3rd straight victory. With the SAC (South American connection) calling the shots in the midfield and AB playing a provider role behind the main striker (thats my excuse for not scoring) the Whites raced to a 4-0 lead at halftime. With speculation of his striker position becoming untenable after such a barren run, Huckys 2m toe-poke in the right corner to open the scoring after 15 minutes should silence the critics for another 3 years. Manny doubled the lead soon after when a cross deflected from a Razorback head and past the diving goalie, all 4'9" of him. Then the two Steves had a competition who could chip the goalie from the most acute angle. Higson first with his now trademark 30m speccie from the right touch line, then Bynon with an equally arrogant floater from about the same place.
Halftime talk in the Whites camp was of a second successive clean sheet, playing 3 at the back to attack more, blah blah.....which all went pear shaped after the hosts came out firing and pulled 3 goals back in 15 minutes. Reliable sources (the missus)inform me a Razorback WAG supplied mars bar slice to the team as a halftime energy source, and boy did it work. Definitely up for WAG of the week. With their skinny Wayne Rooney looky-likey captain and right back playing like men possessed, plus a little fatigue from the Whites, the match was in the balance at 4-3 when the ref decided he had enough abuse from the crowd for the day and walked off. Luckily the diplomatic skills of elder statesmen Trev coaxed him back from the change room and the match resumed.
This break seemed to do the Whites the world of good, with us taking control of the match from here on. With the help of Manny's second after some great lead up work from "brother" Andres the match was ours. They are almost like the Waugh twins such is the unspoken understanding between the two. Or better, as Steve always used to run out Mark, the most stylish batsmen of his generation.
So our third victory puts us in the top 4 for the first time ever. Time will tell if we are good enough to make the finals. Next week will hopefully see the return of everyones favourite fleet footed 59 year old winger, Kirky Seddon from his UK sabbatical. Another win would be good, another Hucky goal even better!

Maroons, looked like Dudley Moore to Shellharbour's Bo Derek
The Maroons started with 10 and Shellharbour finished with 10. Unfortunately ours were players and theírs were goals. Any positives? Well it might have been 16 if Shellharbour hadn't been so wasteful, hitting the bar, blazing over from five yards, shooting narrowly wide a few times. We were 4-0 down inside 15 minutes, by which time we had the only 11 players we were to have all day in place. The other team was slick, hard had reinforcements and ran us stupid. They got two penalties (in Hack down Vinnie the Maroons now have an answer to Handball Dave) and scored some fine goals, many from outside the area high into the net. We scored the last goal of the game - Ben's first for the club and reward for being about our only player able to live up to Shellharbour's pace. Tellingly it was our only shot on target, the same number as the Shellharbour goalie had himself, having converted a first half penalty for 5-0. On a day of records - the worst ever defeat by a Coledale senior team - this was the worst moment. Not even half time and the other team and their supporters laughing at us as their 80 year old keeper hobbled forward to score from the spot. Next week, the Makos with hopefully more than 11 players.
