Yes there is a GSFL Committee
Herman Lucas is the President

As like our own clubs, they are all volunteers and oversee the whole Competition.
Tribunal, Interleague games, Finals and allocation of finals at which ground, Clearances, Player qualification and registration, Umpires, (goal, field, boundary, Interchange stewards for finals, etc etc. All the things that we take for granted.
And just like our football committes they cop all the crap when things stuff up.

If society has a problem, whether it be obesity, racism, drink driving, talking on mobile phones when driving etc etc.. Football Clubs will have those issues, as will the League that administers those clubs.

My point
We all struggle to get good volunteers to help with our club..SO DOES THE GSFL. wE HAVE A GOOD COMPETITION PRETTY WELL RUN AT CLUB LEVEL AND ADMINISTERED PRETTY WELL BY THE LEAGUE.
A FEW PEOPLE MESS IT UP FOR EVERYONE

HERE ENDS THE SERMON

Thanks for the Reply Mr Magoo.... I was thinking that it 'had' to be run the same as a normal committee etc, etc.... and what you say is very true.

[damian]

Is there a GSFL board/committee??
What positions are held??
Is there a representative from each club involved??
Do they hold like an annual 'agm' or similar where you vote people on/off ect

I wouldn't be too sure on the fact that they are all volounteers, i beleive quite a large sum of money is paid out to Curran and Herman. All the finals gate money has to go somewhere! Can anyone confirm the league officials get paid for doing a poor job of running the GSFL?

[Mr Magoo]

Re Red cards
As far as I know a red card is an automatic report and off to the
tribunal.
The tribunal then hears the evidence and determines the penalty.

Note to umpires:
If there has been a direction to you
THAT IF A PLAYER DUCKS HIS HEAD AND IS HIT HEAD HIGH, HE IS TO BE AWARDED A FREE KICK THEN YOU MUST ALL (THAT IS ALL UMPIRES)
FOLLOW THAT DIRECTION
NOT JUST SOME OF YOU SOME OF THE TIME

Thanks for that Damien
I stand corrected

[damian]

Don't stand corrected yet, some confirmation on this would be nice.

[footy_mad10]

How did our 2008 Mail Medallist perform this weekend? And does everyone rate Portlock that highly, surely not!!!!

[limb]

Don't stand corrected yet, some confirmation on this would be nice.

As I understand it the secretary receives an honorarium and the other office bearers are volunteers.

[MrTeach]

I am good friends with someone on the league comittee, he is not one of the holders of a senior position however he does have a role and i know he is payed a certain amount of money, not sure how much but he is payed?

What a Ridiculous interpretation to award Free kicks to DUCKERS.
If that is the Rule then the simplest way to get the consistentcy back is to Revert the Rule back to the way it was. to the Gutless DUCKERS looking for cheep free kicks.

wouldn't be Hard.
Do they get paid for that ?
It would be great if they mentioned the score now and then.
Oh well, shouldn't criticise too much, at least they r having a go.
Well Done Chaps.

[Mr Magoo]

Jackpot Jim
Duckers for CHEAP free kicks
Thanks for your support on this issue

Duckers,Divers, Squealers and head holders
Do we know anyone from Victor like this???????

Change that interpretation back to the correct one
If you duck into a tackle..BAALLLLLLL

[Mr Magoo]

Mr Teach
Sorry to go on!!!!!

Your spelling and grammar is shocking for a teacher.
Paid not payed!!!

Even if you teach Woodwork, Human Movement, Maths, tiddly winks or Cooking you should be educating MY KIDS and correcting them.
I pay a lot of taxes for you to do your job.

PS.....Do you get a ady off for the show this week????

[King Kernas]

Not sure whether it is an automatic 2 week ban, not sure on that, but you are both right, it should be atleast two weeks.

I don't think the umpires are soft, not in A's, but in B's a lot of them are new to the umpiring game and aren't sure themselves of the ramifications of dishing out a red card!

So for a B grade umpire to give out a red card, it would have been serious!

But yes, the red and white may get him off

Sounds like a bookable offence to me. Should definately get games for sticking fingers in peoples eyes. As for the B grade umpires, aren't they umpires that have been umpiring A grade footy all year.
So surely they know what they are doing
My bet is he wasn't reported cause the lazy sods can't be bothered doing the whole tribunal thing during the week, so nothing will probably come of it, like lots of other incidents during the year, that we always complain of on this forum.

Good Weekend of Footy in the GSFL
Willunga turned it on Saturday
Steele, Hams, Portlock (a star)
Strath B's ...What a performance
Missed the juniors however
All played in a very good spirit

Sunday Strath dominated from the start in the A's
Too much pace and clean ball handling
The Creeks flogged Mclaren in the B's
McLaren 17's Good open forward line with clean skills
Langhornes worked hard all day
Saints slugged it out for a good win

As we all know there are some Italian Connections at Mclaren.
The Compass crowd were untidy in their Comments towards those of Italian decent.
No issues on the field.
The GSFL cannot stop ignorant people in the crowd yelling abuse at players.
THROW THE BALL UP AND PLAY ON

I definatly do not condone racism and think it is disgusting but not sure how Mclaren can complain about the crowd after the reception the bays got when they played at Mclaren in the second half of the season. The crowd comments towards the aborginal players was disgusting and embarrasing to the gsfl. On a better note was at mclaren on sat for the netball finals, was a good crowd, good atmosphere and good food.

Who said i was a teacher, just because my name is MrTeach does not necessarliy mean i am a teacher.

[A Mum]

not sure how Mclaren can complain

[A Mum]

Now you say that... when I first saw Mr Teach I thought that meant 'teacher' of football as it's a 'football' website

I thought Teach may have been his last name, don't know what gave me that idea
