Cas panthers are through to the u14s barla final after beating a very spirited I after say that the 3 officials were a joke in particular the two linesman who seemed to see things from the sideline that nobody else did,it's a shame really because players and coaches can see a years work un-done by some kid who tbh doesn't have a clue.

It this level how come they are influencing the ref? Surely only in a final the "officially appointed" touch judges can give decisions other than the ball going in to touch? not all games have touch judges appointed in the rounds/semis so not a level playing field for all teams

Still find it distasteful that junior officials get so much abuse from grown men and women . If you still are raw enough to bring it to a forum I think you need to be taking to it committee who appoint these voulenters

It's years ahead of a half cut dad with no knowledge of the rules and an agenda or being acussed of one.

It's not made any easier when the crowd pay more attention to them than the game and the "TM" does nothing and at some clubs are the worse thinking the yellow vest gives them a green light to run on the pitch.
I know that's not you rob but I'm sure you have come across and in sport you have to be guided by the ref , he is right OK he is right..

I hope thats not aimed at me
All I asked was if touchies could give decisions other than going in to touch in an ordinary round of a cup game, a simple "Yes" or "No" from someone in the know would have sufficed

Anyone know how good Y7 Salendine Nook are?

No problem with the post but coaches,players, and touchline managers are volunteers referees are paid to do a job and there is where the problem lies and I've seen it with my own eyes some officials see it has an easy way to make a few quid.

Catch 22 unfortunately, the situation seems to be we need X number of refs to cover all the games or they don't go ahead and the quality suffers because on the necessity. The young lads in charge more often than not dont have the confidence to communicate clearly with the players and therefore control the game, and unfortunately there are cases of clear bias occasionally as I've seen this year. I'd happily ref our own games every week if it were allowed.

I appreciate the difficult situation and the need for young refs to develop, but I also think some are there just for a few quid , and a better option than a paper round. The best match official around is Gareth from Leeds society, great at communicating with the players and 100% calls it as he sees the game.

The worst refs I've seen this year have been adults not kids and in the defence of youths, they are still learning and bound to make mistakes, worst of all is Mr Chippendale from Leeds society, actually seen him give tries from the half way line as he's that far behind play and unable to keep up.
Maybe the likes of him with his experience would be better off on the sidelines as a mentor to the younger ones

Just like to wish all the teams taking part good luck.
