Do you play for a club?

[Follow Me Up To Carlton]

Two years with the Marrickville Red Devils and seven with the Bexley North Bombers.

Started off at right mid but moved to right back.

Did anyone ever get a straight red card and have to go face "The Federation" at St George Soccer Stadium?

No but as a coach I have been there. It was actually at Mortdale at the ole St George Budapest Club back in those days.

I got three weeks.

I still laugh when I read the refs report that they gave to me. Lying bastard. :lol:

I only ever had one card in my career, and to this day I have no idea what the ref was talking about. Somebody played a through-ball and I raced through trying to score while the goalie rushed out to get it. He got the ball before I did and I turned around to run back into position. Suddenly the ref blew his whistle, started pulling out the cards and indicated the person behind me to go to him. I turn around, see nobody is behind me and realise he's talking to me. :?

Apparantly I threw my elbow at the goalkeeper when I turned around. Now, I don't know about you, but I would think I would know if I did that. lol, I almost turned my first and only yellow card into my first and only red card by argueing. :lol:

Pussy striker. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I use to get 3 yellow cards a year.
Never racked up enough points to be suspended.
I reckon I deserved them all too.
Its amazing what you do and dont do when you know how to exploit the system.
I never got sent but that was more good luck than good management.
One day I pulled off a save that would of done Ray Clemence proud.
Problem was I was playing stopper not keeper.
I started walking but the ref only gave me a yellow.
I was more surprised than anyone.
The keeper saved the penalty too.
The opposition werent happy but its funny when you talk to the guys during and after the game-they all said they would of done the same thing.

When I got sent off for the one & only time of my career 2 seasons ago (TOTAL BS!!!!!!!!!!) I had to go to Burwood RSL to 'face the music' of the Canterbury District judiciary?

....fortunately, that ref that sent me for "Aggressively abusing & swearing AT him" (When all I said was was AHHH YOU'RE #^@&ING JOKING!??" Not To him...but a good 10 metres away, not even looking at, or moving towards him - my head raised to the sky in frustration after he ignored a blatant handball in the box...after MANY previously missed blatantly obvious incidents had left me more than a little frustrated - Naughty, naughty me yes, fair enough - but that is a YELLOW card offence...at WORST!) was a well known drama-queen tosser in the district, and so - I deservedly got off scott-free on a suspension!...Plus we actually ended up coming back from 2-3 down in the game after I was sent off to draw 3-3 - Justice was served!!!

Bah!!..If there's something the last 13 years have taught me - it's that the refs in the Caterbury District - no matter what the level...are APALLING!! :? And don't even get me started on the linesemen!!!!!!!! Buuuuuuut having said that - I wouldn't like their jobs...Thanks for turning up each & every weekend (Well - mostly!) guys & girls! ;-)

I think i've had him too :lol: :lol:

 

[Dog-E]

He was a balding, Indian fella...ab-so-lutely CLUELESS!! I've seen him give a defender that made a DIVING save on the goal-line - a more obvious handball & cynical professional foul you will NEVER see - just a yellow card!...I've seen him book the WRONG player after an incident...then stubbornly refuse to change his mind, even tho the guilty player fessed up to him, and of course - I saw him send me off!!! :evil:

He just seems to ref in whatever mood he woke up that morning...totally randomly, with no regard for the actual laws of the game at all!!>...We have some dodgy refs in our district allright - but this bloke absolutely takes the cake!...Ahhhh, but u just gotta laugh! :lol:

 

[Dogaholic]

Actually, I don't think I have had that one. Sounds pretty bad!

Another ref that I had in the Bankstown district in my Birrong days was not that bad, but not that far from it. We were defending a free kick, and as you do when the ball is struck, we all jumped to block the ball. He gave a free kick against us for "unsportsman like behaviour" and moved the free kick 10m closer, then another 10m when we argued. I then got my first and only ever Red card for calling him a d*ckhead.
