DISCIPLINARY CASES

NAME # TEAM CODE Q OFFENCE SUSPENDED
  25 June
Ruben CRUZ 24 Maidstone Pumas FUC 4 The player, who was only partially kitted at the time, left his team area and came down the sideline to verbally abuse the Head Linesman for the crew's decisions in general. After his first flag for Unsportsmanlike Conduct, he then continue to verbally abuse the Linesman with obscene language as I walked over to him to see what his first penalty was for. Following the second flag he then made an obscene gesture towards both of us and followed that up with a further obscene comment, which earned him a third flag for UC from me. I instructed his coach to remove him from the game permanently. 02/07/06

East Kent Mavericks Despite mentioning to the home team after their first home game, and filing an Incident Report (which I note has not been published in Newsflash - I have checked back and can find no trace of any on-line report, Ed), East Kent have still failed to provide any nine-yard marks or numbers on their field. In addition, their coaching line and team areas are too close to the field of play, and the team area only extends between the 30 yard lines. 15/07/06
Colchester Gladiators Game delayed 45 minutes awaiting the ambulance which had got lost on the way to the ground. 30/07/06

YOUTH GAME MANAGEMENT REPORTS

In last week's Newsflash, the Game Management Reports for the Youth games did not contain the date of the next game. These are: Bristol host Kent this week and Tamworth play @ Essex on July 9th. The Referees in both cases have been advised.

NOTTINGHAM CAESARS

Unfortunately it has not emerged that Nottingham Caesars had a perfect score of “0” for their field audit yesterday.

It was fantastic to have the Head Grounds Man of the Harvey Haddon Complex; his name escapes me, walking with me to check the Audit.

Please see what you can do to make this stand out next week.

Regards

Chris #10 (Side Judge on this game)

GAMEDAY PAPERWORK - INCIDENT REPORT FORM

With the advent of the on-line reporting of DQ's etc, it was thought that it was no longer necessary to complete the paper version. It transpires that this is not the case and the paper version MUST be sent together with the game report, admin fee cheque, field audit form, etc.

This may be obtained from the Gameday Paperwork section of the website (http://www.bafra.org/info/handbook/forms.htm) or (http://www.bafra.org/members/paperwork/index.htm).

AND FINALLY...

FIFA Love it or loathe it, there is simply no escaping from the fact that World Cup 2006 is now in full swing. This is, of course, excellent news for the many soccer fans among you, but truly awful for those that cannot stand the game. However, no understanding of the new offside laws is required to appreciate how dreadful the following football joke is!

A Sunday league football team is so desperate for players that one Sunday they are forced to play with a chicken in their team. Surprisingly, the chicken has a brilliant first half. One minute it's clearing off its own line, the next putting in a perfect cross. At half time all the teammates are very pleased and everyone runs back onto the pitch for the second half.

On the way the ref starts chatting to the chicken.

"Great first half mate." says the ref.

"Thanks," replies the chicken, "I try to keep myself fit. It's difficult finding time, but I do an hour in the gym each morning before work." chicken

"What do you do?" asks the ref.

"I'm a chartered accountant," comes the reply.

At which point the referee brandishes the red card and sends the chicken off. The bemused teammates gather round and start complaining to the referee.

"Sorry lads," says the referee, "I had no choice. Professional fowl."
