London League VI Fixture Chat

Oh, I didn't notice that Maddie subbed for another team. I guess if it is an injury and the other team agrees then we can go with it -- but this must be a last resort. If there is any non-league player around to sub that should be the first choice. Thanks.

hey, Maddie subbed for us (Thundershafts) taking Johannes place, against WestWay. We only knew Jo was not playing 50 mins before the game. Maddie was at the court and offered to sub - we were aware that this was against the rule, but she was the only one for subbing; WestWay agreed to this. We also were aware that the committee could disqualify the game and that was fine by us and we talked about it with WestWay and Maddie, but we thought since we were there to play the game any way and leave the decision up to you - in fact disqualifying the game (and getting penalised with 15-0) would work better for Thundershafts as the game finished 22 - 1 (for Westway). So WestWay is happy for the game to be counted; Maddie is happy for playing, and Ana and I are happy we had the chance to play the game rather than not. But again, as we said on post 357 and as Rick mentioned in post 355, we are happy with any decision you make about this:-). I think it is fairer for WestWay to count the game - 22 goals were well deserved.

great work westway v rubixx! equal on the first chukker and almost on the second one is seriously good going.

Cheers Maddie, Really enjoyed the game against Rubixx this Tuesday. To be fair we might have got a bit of advantage of playing more games together than the Rubixx who were playing their first one I think. By the middle of the match their strength showed up and we have got quite panicked by the quick succession of goals from DT.

Have to thanks all Beth, Jackie and Louis for reffing and Louis helping us morphing into sub.

At the moment of the injury they had a clear advantage in the score, and they kept increasing it. If it was the case of a tight result I don't think that sub would have happened. It was a way of finish the game keeping it interesting for both teams rather than finish it 3 against 2 that would have been easy and boring for Rubixx

How would this work re player quality? Both our games have involved subs from other teams due to last minute problems, Maddie for Joe and Louis for Victor, both pretty fair swaps. What if there had been a non league player available but it would have been a dramatic quality difference. Say in our game against Thundershafts both Beagle and Maddie had been available for sub duties - would the rules oblige us to accept the non league player or demand the other team forfeit?

When are the next fixtures out? Would be nice to have a bit if time to organise games before the window opens.

2/12/13

We will give a two week extension for xmas break. So the next fixture window will be 2 Dec - 16 Jan.

Iain posted the daredevils v clerks stats chukker

cheers, ben. they stats are in the table but I forgot to update the list.

@Io -- Yep. No worries.

@Phil -- If there is a last-minute need for a sub due to an injury or a no-show, then the sub should be a non-league player and the opposing team has to agree to the sub. If the opposing team does not agree to any sub available at the time, then the game will have to be played 3 v 2. If there is not a non-league player available that the opposing team agrees to, but there is a league player available that the opposing team agrees to, then I guess we can allow that.

Does that all make sense?

But outside of these unusual circumstances, if there is a need for a sub this must be cleared by the relevant Subs and forfeit committee, who's names and contact details are listed in post #2.

Yep, filthy Mitch.

Friday double-up actually: Nik, Sean and Spikes v. Haymakers at Downs tomorrow too.

Everyone meets at the hops and glory near mitch for pints after?

Ref's at mitch will be given booze drugs and good times!

I just want to also ask if there is a possibility to postpone the end of a game if a sub is needed? Ie in the case of me subbing it would be acceptable to play the last 8 minutes at a later date instead?
