Good grief buddy, what an unreasonable, nasty and unwarranted response. none of our group gave any officials any problems at all and I was full of praise for all concerned, my point was a fair and measured one and contained no malice whatsoever. will certainly think twice before entering again though  !

It wasn’t a nasty response

Was a really enjoyable and well organised day, I entered a  team of young lads who did really well to reach the main final, which brings me to my only small gripe, they lost the final 1v0 to an extremely contentious penalty for making a defensive challenge the wrong side of  a non existent line, not a foul but a technicality ! the kids were gutted to A, receive nothing for being runners up and B be robbed of a chance to have a penalty shoot out against Conrad :-(

 

well done UFS on a brilliant day and for giving up their time for a fantastic cause :-)

I was stood about 10m from it, it was an incredibly clear penalty from my view (middle of the pitches) and the ref was bang on. Think one of the lads told me I'd been drinking all day when I told them it was a correct decision - amusing really as it's the only year I've not hammered the bevs during the tournament 😂

 

Good effort from the Kasey lot though, played brilliant football and I'd called them out to be winners early on, so not surprised it came down to small margins.

OK, sorry for the delay in answering t been a bit busy, maybe "nasty" isn`t quite the right word but the post was insulting and demining.

firstly, shouting the word charity at me, I paid my entry, bought raffle tickets, food etc for that very reason !

I was fully aware, and praised the work of all the volunteers and the Refs, and at no time gave them any grief !

the point about runners up deserving nothing as absolutely ridiculous, I have been involved in football, playing, managing, refereeing and organising since 1969 I have never known the runners up in any tournament, and I have attended hundreds, to receive no recognition whatsoever, especially when there is a second tier competition, which is a brilliant idea by the way, that does.

finally about being "bothered and upset about amateur football" there were a lot of teams, and rightly so that took their matches very seriously and put in very hard shifts on an extremely hot day!

you have no idea about me, or my priorities although supporting this event was clearly one of them !! regardless of differing opinions the kids lost the final on a dubious technicality and that`s my final word !

 

WELL DONE AGAIN TO ALL INVOLVED ON A BRILLIANT DAY
