Budandavodka Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I don't think not having corner flags ever lost a team a game.....on an astro pitch in conditions like yesterday, no chance of remaining upright....

I could see the Harestanes committee complaining about no corner flags ifor they had won the tie. Not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandysafc Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 If it wasn’t already an embarrassment for Harestanes (many peoples favourites) to get knocked out from a second division LEAFA side, then they should be embarrassed and ashamed for appealing a deserved result due to no corner flags. Take it on the chin FFS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickoverayard Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I was told some of their committee had a word with the ref at half time about the pitch dimensions and even the position of the floodlights. Have they really appealed??? Sad days like. Like I said it’s I shitty wee 3G but it was the same shitty 3G you won the game on!!! I would be embarrassed if that was my team, take it on the chin, wish the lauri boys good luck and move on to the next game... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B McK Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Got to agree that's a bit embarrassing appealing on corner flags, I can guarantee not many games would have been played with corner flags in they conditions 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleslie99 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Dimensions and floodlight position I guess would be disputable (unless the ref or someone else can measure park lol). SAFA competition rules state corner flags need to be there though (I think). I played in a game a few years ago against a side who were lot better than us. We played them on a brand new park at a school, albeit a bit small there was no issues. We got a very credible draw, they then complained that the park was too small, the league made us find out the official dimensions, we done so and we were informed by the local council that it was indeed 5 yards too short of official minimum length, game was replayed and we lost! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redondo Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I fear a replay for dinsey and his lads. Sour grapes from Harestanes but it is a rule and other teams have been caught out with this before and had to replay games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been the same result, a replay, when other (sore losers) appealed. Anyone connected to an ammy team, in any way at all, will see it for what it is and be supporting Laurieston. Would be a total riddy. Again nothing confirmed so we could all be jumping the gun..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until its confirmed its just a rumour, maybe someone from Harestanes can confirm if appeal is indeed going in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivor Bonnar Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Tollcross coming from 2-0 down to win away to bannockburn is a very good result. Have bannockburn lost players this season? I know the boy Grant is away but 2-0 up at home you’d expect them to win. Fair play to Tolcross though. Never seen them play but seen there results on twitter and seem to be going well. Bannockburn were better team but their goalie had a howler for 3 of the Tollcross goals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaf Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I agree with allot of points on hear how Harestanes should just accept and move on. However I am sure in the last two seasons there was a tie replayed because and appeal very similar to this. The rules do state this but grasping at straws here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justagoalie Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Rules are rules right enough. Common sense tho would see that no team gained an advantage from the lack of corner flags. Unless the lack of them influenced the result. Hope Harestanes do the right thing, take it on the chin and do what is right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit the bar, post, missed a couple big chances and the keeper has pulled off a couple great saves although as has ours and they also missed a big chance to go 1-0 up. The pitch is a strange one, today was the first time I had set eyes on it, never mind play on it - it’s brand new and the other side of the city to us but only one we could get. We just wanted the game played and it’s worked out well thankfully. It’s one of the narrowest pitches we will play on this season with about 5/6 yards touchline to penalty box but lengthwise fine. We took a gamble giving up home advantage today and it’s paid off. It’s not like we are a team of hammer throwers, we get the ball down and try and play, our goal was actually a thing of beauty! A team full of hammer throwers haha, that made me laugh. Yeh was just thinking it would be more of an in ur face battle on a wee tight park than a game of football but great score regardless of how u play. Plus u dont win every game by playing beautiful football but from wot u said it sounds like u guys do actually get the ball down and play some good stuff. If this rumour is true about possible appeal then that would be absolutely pathetic from harestanes and would surely shame the club. Any respectable club does not act in that manner. If they were that upset about it then the game would not have went ahead and it would have been discussed well before the game had kicked off. Think the rumour is probably just aload of rubbish to create a poo hoo to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amateur Footie Fan Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 Rules are rules gentlemen regardless what we all think. Game WILL be replayed going by rules. Can’t understand for the life of me why anyone at Lauriston didn’t put corner flags in. Amateur football at its very best!!!! Just confirming what a cock you are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IFAB wants to encourage football, especially at the lowest levels, and if, for example, a corner flag(s) is missing the game can still be played without problems. Of course, the matter must be reported afterwards but at least everyone will have played in a match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands_Free Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 If Harestanes had of won the game would Laurieston have been able to lodge a complaint due to lack of flags? I don't know the answer but I doubt they would have seeing as it was the home team's error. It appears that with no flags that this was a free hit for Harestanes and if they lost they knew they would be able to appeal. Poor,but a lesson to be learned for all I suppose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickoverayard Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 It’s bad craic, I coach a under 15s team and we played today with no corner flags, we were beat 3-2 and I would never dream of stooping so low to try and use a loophole to getting a game replayed...... it’s pathetic!!!! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
