Football / St. Anthony's Freekick
« on: September 06, 2008, 11:18:15 AM »
St. Anthony's College scored what appeared to be a perfectly legitimate goal (which was allowed) by Qian Grovsnor. There are some who are insisting that the goal should not have been allowed because he "passed" the ball to himself.
This was a direct freekick...so to the best of my knowledge the referee was perfectly correct in allowing the goal....just to be clear what is the exact ruling pertaining to this specific situation?

Football / Secondary Schools Football League changes...your thoughts?
« on: January 01, 2008, 09:40:05 AM »
The Secondary Schools Football League opens in September and concludes in the first week of December. For the league itself, most teams (North, South, East) have to play 12 games in 5.5 weeks.
This results in teams having to sometimes play 3 matches in the space of 1 week...although in most cases 2 in 5 days. Some people term the SSFL a "washing machine" league as all players have time to do is wash their kits to play the next match.
When do players get time to recover from injury? Or when do coaches get time to prepare the team to adjust tactics based on their next opponents?
Do you think that the league, players, coaches and even fans can benefit from changing up the format a bit?
I know one suggestion is to reduce the number of teams playing...(This option I am not a big fan of)
What about extending the league such that there is a mid season break for the Christmas (and end of term exams) and resuming in January?
If this were possible then we can even change the format of INTERCOL games so that they take place during the same period as the league (like the FA Cup in England) hence we can include more Senior Division teams in the Intercol?
What are your thoughts?
Please note that this is NOT a discussion on whether or not the league is of poor standard...
p.s. Happy New Year to all

Football / SSFL rescinds decision to reduce number of teams in 2007

SSFL rescinds decision to reduce teams in 2007.
By: Sheldon Wood (schoolsoccernet).[/size]
The Secondary Schools Football League has rescinded its decision to reduce the number of teams participating in the 2007 League.
In a meeting held earlier this week, the SSFL has unanimously decided to keep the number of teams in the North, East and South Zones to seven.
The SSFL initially chose to deal with the concerns of the season being too compact, as coaches complained about teams having to play four matches in seven days. The proposed “solution” to this issue was to reduce the number of competing teams in an effort to lessen the number of games, and also ensure that only the very best teams remained in the competition.
As the 2006 League draws to a conclusion, a reversal in this way of thinking still begs the question, how does the league deal with the clutter of matches played in such a short space of time?
Interestingly enough, this decision has given a lifeline to some teams who only a week earlier were trying to come to terms with the grim reality of automatic relegation and relegation playoffs.
In the North Zone, Trinity College will no longer be required to play a relegation playoff while St. Mary’s College will need to playoff the winner of the Senior Division ONLY IF a “non-championship” team wins the second tier league.
In the South, St. Benedict’s College will remain in the Championship division, while Fyzabad will be in a similar situation as St. Mary’s College; i.e. playoff with the winner of the South Senior Division ONLY IF the winner is a “non championship” team.
Finally in the East Zone, Malabar will remain in top flight school’s football, whilst Arima Senior Comprehensive will playoff the East Senior Division winners only if a “non championship” team emerges victorious.
While this may be good news for some teams, the burning questions still to be answered remain.
What exactly prompted a change of heart from the SSFL?
Is the issue of the season being too compact going to be addressed? And if so how?
What of the thought of “weeding out” the weaker teams in the league in an attempt to keep the SSFL at a certain standard?
Stay tuned…
