penfold Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 The only referee that Im aware stays in Yell, is also the Yell FC manager, and as such is not allowed to officiate in games in the same league as his team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EISTnWAST Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Well that is a pretty poor show. Another example of how people expect to be able to turn up to play a sport, and never have to get involved with running it.It's only an hour and a half, and you get paid.Well if it's so easy and you get so much money, then why is there only 1 referee in Yell? I would almost go as far as saying paying mileage for the refs is a good thing. At least the clubs might finally wake up and realise that in a place the size of Shetland, recruitment of referees is their responsibility and no-one else's.

Baxter Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Are you trying to say that £30 for 2hrs work for refereeing a match near your home isn't good money??? I'd say its pretty damn good money for anyone willing to do it. Am no saying its easy work, because it definitely isn't. The abuse some referees take is unbelievable but the good referees should always come out on top of that. I think player behaviour should be the topic under discussion because that is sometimes pathetic... why is there only 1 referee in Yell no sure what your point is???

JAStewart Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 why is there only 1 referee in Yell no sure what your point is??? He means if it is such an easy money making job, why is there only one person willing to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 As a person trying to learn Norwegian,, and failing miserably,, perhaps somebody could tell me if the Shetland word Fitba, of the English Football, is possibly derived from Norwegian.I tried putting together a couple of words I had learned from reading local graffiti and came up with the following:Norwegian: FittePlusNorwegian: Ball "Fitteball",,, you see what I mean?? It is remarkably similar. Until I found out what those Norwegian words mean... "Fitte" = Pussy (and not the feline type)"Ball" = Gonad (same in any language) So does this mean that football players are a lot of ball chasing pussies??? Or pussies with balls???? Just trying to lighten a very boring subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EISTnWAST Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 You're right JAS, that is part of my point. As per usual most people aren't willing to look at the can of worms from both sides of the fence.What I was trying to do was encourage people to discuss the cause of the problem, and come up with a long term solution. I shouldn't really have wasted my time. If people were willing to do that, Shetland football wouldn't have as many problems as it does.

I must have lost my concentration while writing that last post. You must forgive me.

EISTnWAST Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 @penfold Unst v YellNess v Southern LeagueParish Cup Association v LerwickBurra v ScallowayWorks League v B League There are solutions available to all of these problems, but as long as clubs/associations/people are only interested in themselves, then nothing will change.

penfold Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 You are preaching to the converted EistnWast.

EISTnWAST Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Before I put Everybody v Referees on the list, do you know if anyone other than a few Shetlink members is actually against the increase in match fees for refs? (i.e is there anybody who matters against it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_Corolla Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Apparently West Linga Ramblers have already withdrawn from the Works League because all their players abandoned them to goto Whalsay B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
