You need to get a grip my friend, CWB marked the game as per the rules. There is ten days to post the articles, leaving it to the last minute is nobodys fault but the writers, don't try and lay it on the ref.

The articles that were submitted after 9:00 in these matches were marked, granted we cant see what went on behind the scenes between the captains and the Ref, but at face value it seems like double standards to me that the articles in these games are marked when Cloete's article wasn't.

The whining in this thread is unbelievable!

The first link was at 9.00. Not after.

The articles that were submitted after 9:00 in these matches were marked,

One was 9:01, the other was 9:00. Don't make out it's something that its not.

Please read my earlier post, I said there has been precedents before. The circumstances were different as the captains were onto it very quickly.

If the team has a post in after 9:00, then the player has every reason to be concerned. That same player should alert their captain immediately and the captain should let the opposing captain and referee know, ASAP.
Depending on the circumstances, the situation has a chance of being salvaged... if everyone is in agreement.

It doesn't have to be a rule, just something aranged in the spirit of cooperation.
But fair dinkum, its getting to stage where we'll need to have things signed in triplicate.
The F7s isnt supposed to be like that.

You're right, HBB, you don't know what happened behind the scenes. I know you're using a 'face value' analysis, but this business of searching back through threads in the hope of finding some perceived 'double standards' is really a nonsense. It only adds to the misunderstanding and with respect, I find it annoying.

Perhaps every ref and captain as well as the organisers will need to keep logs or a diary of every match just in case someone goes looking for dirt.
Is that where we are at now?
Do we have to justify every decision, retrospectively?

The ref did what he could to try and get a dialog going. He couldn't wait forever and he had to mark the match.
The essay can be used in another match and the losing captain doesnt have a problem with the referee's decision... that should have been the end of it.

Nothing wrong with expressing your thoughts, that’s what a Forum is all about ;-)



The post in the first link was posted after 9:00, if it was posted before it would show as 8:59 on the forum clock. It may have only been posted a matter of second after 9 (somewhere between 1 and 59), and to deny it being marked by being late by a matter of seconds would have been very harsh, but the fact that it was marked and Cloete’s wasn't could be seen as a double standard.

No there is no misunderstanding here. You referred to the ref (CWB) as a toy soldier. There’s an increasing trend of leaving posts in the sevens right up to the last minute in games. Like I said if you want to do that then that’s entirely up to you, but don’t whinge when you slip up and post after fulltime then get penalised for it, nobody to blame but yourself.

Well actually, in the F7s, you go through your captain. You're obviously not aware of this, but hey... don't take my word for, I'm sure there's another 'double standard' out there with your name on it.
Broncoman has already asked for players to go through the correct channels... you're not helping matters.

...and it goes on like that...
:lol:
It's people like you who force us to write rules.

Jesus, you act like Cloete's article would have won you the game! It was was 514 word job that would never have scored the 98 required to lift the Bulls to a victory.

As has been stated, I contacted the captain and explained the rules. He had an opportunity to give me an excuse for the article being late, and to open a dialogue with Thierry Henry. This was on Wednesday night, and I marked the game on Saturday afternoon. Plenty of time to provide an excuse and get Henry to approve it.

 

[broncoman]

can all the bulls players please not comment on it anymore, Cloete's post was not within the rules and on face value thats how it should stay...
i dont want to talk about "those" other posts in here it was a different game and we dont know the circumstances in which they were marked...

if anyone needs to discuss this further contact me by PM or email...
