That's the name of the CF programme designed to improve conduct on the field, and raise the standard of behaviour across the game.
All they're wanting is just a little respect ..and for everyone to shake hands before the game.

I say:
"Outlaw the eeyore"
if you are playing below Central League you are, by default, asinine in comparison to christiano
So this winter lets not have the braying of beer bellied supporters in the lower grades every time a hoof hearted shot flies across the carpark, brushing the corner flag.

Piss taking aside, they are right.
Everyone abuses everyone, team mates, refs, sideline. it's like we are playing for our lives. Football is so much more enjoyable if ya team mate says, relax, don't worry about the shank, instead of telling you your a muppet. Or instead of abusing the ref for not seeing through 4 players, to seeing what you can, just accepting the decision, and saying fair enough, you can't be everywhere mate.
Just my $0.02

why the f**k would i want to respect any of you on the football field?
i play to break your legs and i expect you to be playing to break mine.
sport isnt about participating its about playing as hard as you can and f**king up the oposition and then after the game having a drink over it - and if you still hate each other then have a biff.

This just sums up how much of an idiot you are.. and I'm not gonna change that stance. Playing to injure anyone, and I don't care if you weren't being serious, you stated it. There's no joking element to your message.
As I was saying, playing hard and intense is one thing, but going out to line someone up, and if you don't get the ball at least you will F**k them up, is ridiculous. 99% have to go home and work on Monday, and you want to break my leg when you are playing.
Play hard, yes, Play fair yes, Play to injure someone if you they are better then you... I'm actually lost for any more words at how inane that post is

Poor Bobboltontawa Probable has no friends seeking attention, well mate you sholud remove yourself from this discussion. Noting wrong with fair hard tackles but try to hurt someone makes you a fool. Love to see you make a 50/50 tackle as i do not know you, wandering if you are hard as you make out to be.

Interesting view bob, I think part of respecting your opponents is not trying to break their legs, but you know thats just my view. I don't know if you've ever broken someone's leg but I doubt you'd be so bullish if you had.
But I do think this respect business is a little ott. It implies that respect for referees is at an all time low. Try playing football in London, most games would finish with about 5 players if reffed like in Wellington.
I've always thought that a far more worthy ideal would be for everyone to just "get on with the game".
- players get on with the game if you are fouled, don't take it up with your opponent and let the referee deal with it
- players, coaches and spectators get on with the game if the referee makes a bad or incorrect decision, they aren't going to change it (and they don't do it on purpose)
- referees get on with the game if someone disputes your call or there is some back chat, it's mostly just frustration, you're the one with the whistle so you make the decisions and stick with them
- referees get on with the game, you're not the most important man on the park (cough - Pedro - cough), and every foul doesn't require a talking to
- referees, does that really warrant a card or sould we just get on with the game?
Respect implies that players are the only ones who make mistakes, they're not. Referees contribute to problems as well and if everyone just chilled out a bit things would flow a lot better.

There was a shaking of hands between NCR and Wests. But a few poor decisons from the referee had Wests coach up and complaining but he was asking the question towards the Linesman and kept his discression at a low.

Buffon, he's a just a young fulla with an anger problem - most of us grow out of it eventually.
This region (Capital Football) is a wee bit small to be carrying on like that these days. I'm more likely to give one of my own a bollocking that someone else a good kicking - must be getting old.

Sorry to troll this up - but a good article to prove a point
Head in the Sand
Posted by Sportsfreak on Monday, 11 May 2009
As we alluded to a year ago, it would appear that the antics on display last week following Chelsea�s loss at Stamford Bridge were hardly unpredictable.
For those of you living under a rock, Barcelona came to Stamford Bridge, pinched a 1-1 draw after 8 minutes of extra time, and won the tie on the away goals rule. Then all hell broke loose, with Chelsea players abusing the referee at the end of the game, claiming that (amongst other things) two clear penalties had not been awarded. However, the amnesia must have obviously kicked in at some stage, as the dubious red card shown to Eric Abidal appeared to go, somewhat conveniently, unnoticed.
Much of the focus has been on the post-match actions of Didier Drogba, with Michael Ballack�s absolutely disgraceful verbal (and borderline physical) assault on the referee was almost overlooked in the aftermath.
It seems to have escaped a number of people that whilst Drogba�s expletive ridden outburst on live TV sent the media into a frenzy, Ballack � quite literally � chased the referee all over the park simply to spew vitriol into face as he was deliberately bumping into him. Not only was it a petulant display, it was an ironic one - had Ballack and his immature mates displayed the same attacking flair during the 98 minutes of football as he did after the game, Chelsea may well have actually advanced through to the final.
There is no doubt that Norwegian referee Tom Henning Ovrebo was average at best, and it is fair to say that Chelsea had every right to be pretty peeved at the way that every call seemed to go against them.
But that�s sport.
Yes, Chelsea could well run with the old �this-is-professional-sport-and-because-we-lost-we-missed-out-on-a-stack-of-cash-and-it�s-not-our-fault-blah-blah-blah� argument. That may, or may not, be the case. But at what point is it acceptable to assault the referee?
And we�ll say it again � FIFA has only itself to blame. They have ignored the increasing level of abuse of officialdom, and now they must reap what they have sown. Ballack and Drogba deserve to go for a very long skate as a result of their actions. If they don�t, FIFA will have failed yet again to send a clear message that the behaviour shown by hotheaded idiots is totally unacceptable. In fact, they could be seen as condoning the players� actions.
There is the usual talk that UEFA may wield their mighty sword and deal harshly with both Drogba and Ballack. Bollocks. You can almost guarantee that the worst that both of these �sportsmen� get is a very stern talking, and possibly 100 lines on the blackboard.
Until FIFA removes it collective head from out of the sand and shows some nuts in dealing with petulant schoolchildren, nothing will change.
Therefore, it is safe to say that nothing will change.

Professional football, representative/central league football are one thing, (they have other pressures to contend with) but social football is another.
There is simply no point in being anything other than respectful and 'social' when playing for fitness and fun with your mates. As for being hard and showing off....leave it at home. I really respect people who try their best, encourage their own team and play fair with the opposition.
See the Slayers for a good example....they enjoy their game they try hard but they remember it is about having fun.
Mostly we are self reffing or have the 'social' refs who dont expect to be on the World Cup list anytime soon. So they stuff up...so get on with the game or do the reffing yourself.

No one needs to see him play to assume he's a muppet with comments like that.... If he had said I'm not going to respect my opposition, i'm gonna play as hard as I can and win at all costs then good on him....but he didn't, he said he was looking to cause wilfull damage and potentially end peoples playing days, not a good sort

Grow up Simon, I remember coaching you as a youngen and you weren't too fond being tackled let alone going into a tackle. You're not so hard walking through Porirua at lunchtime are you?
I agree with Sinus about these Powder Puff days, I remember players like Boylan, Blackbourn, G Pearce, Spud Monk, Troy (Lower Hutt), Phil and Blair Patterson, Dene McKay - guys that tackled hard and, for the most part, fair - sure there was the odd rash challenge but hey thats football. If anyone told me during/before a game they would break my leg i'd be worried about they're level of mental stability.
