bb-8 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Well as the seasons draw to a close if we win our last game and the team below us win their last game we both finish on equal points ... But the league doesn't come down to goal difference or head to head between the teams but it comes down to which team has had the least amount of yellow/red cards ... Surely this is a terrible way to lose a league .. I've played in some games this year where some terrible tackles have been flying in and there not being a card the full game, and I've been involved in games where's there's been 5/6 yellows and not even one bad tackle lol ... No slating the refs in the LEAFA but imagine u lose the League with a superior goal difference by one yellow card issued one day some ref was on a power trip 😂 I think this rule would be OK at under 15s if they are trying to promote fair play but surely there's a way we can vote this rule out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilie8 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 That's the craziest rule I think Iv heard! Surely the clubs can get this changed for future seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco30 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Surely should be changed this season regardless of what games have been played already , worst way to lose a league I've ever heard leafa are making themselves an absolute laughing stock with this rule imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
half wit Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 That rule has been in force with LEAFA for at least the last 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotts have been given the points 3 times this season and we've had to play every game. Less games - less cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 It must have been brought in recently as they'd never have done that in decades gone by... Presumably it was intended to encourage better discipline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tee Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Goal difference is a farce as well. Loads of walkovers during season. Only fair way is head to head record between the two sides. If that's level, play off. At amateur level it's the most fair solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1987gibbo Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Southside lost the league this week on goals difference team had to win 15-0 to win league and they win 18-0 haha other team had no players cause there about to fold signed 7 players the night before and a few trialists . Team called the league the night before it told them they didn't have a team and got told they better get one.

Disco30 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 If the team were going to fold surely when the league told them they better get one they would just a told them that they couldn't and that was that ? If they are unable to field a team would have been a 3-0 walkover. Saw that result on twitter and its a disgrace btw ! Out of curiosity how did the head to head record look between Southside and semsa ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinsey Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Also get a lot of refs not even bothering their arse to put bookings through. Absolute joke of a rule in my opinion. It used to be a play off if it was level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team getting beat 18-0 should take a look at themselves lack of pride if yae ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
