Just looked at an invoice from Capital Footy and saw a fine from a game that i saw.
Basically the guy had two lots of verbals with the ref. He received a yellow, then another yellow (thus red).
The fine was $36.25 for the first yellow, then $61.25 for the red. Nearly $100 - farken expensive afternoon out!!!

That seems a bit harsh. If he got two yellow cards, he should just be chaged for the red card.
If however, he got a yellow first and then a straight red, he should pay for both.

You should be wise enough not to talk back to Pedro Greenie!

Apparently they have an automatic system whereby it sees the name Mike Greene and doubles the fine.
Ah yes, but do Capital Football ?

I did hear from a little bird that CF have doubled the amount of fines for bookings since last year. Why dont they tell you that before the season starts??

To be fair they probably did - it's just that nobody goes to their meetings.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

not proud of it, but i racked up around $900 is my season and a half at Marist a few years back.
Youth exuberance I say......but being over 25 now, cant hide behind that anymore.

He's probably holding a grudge for a defensive lapse when he was keeping.

Well there were plenty of those Hard News, still are.
Barber - I was lucky to still be walking let alone being able to stomp on ya. Its all good mate, we both know what happens on the field stays on the field - it was some tackle though mate (i'd be proud of it haha)

maybe the increased cost may stop some of the rubbish that takes place on the pitch, such as all the verbal diarrhea that comes from players and STUPID players that kick the ball away after the whistle has been blown......
Players get themselves cautioned and sent off, they commit the offence and the referee takes action against the offence committed.

It's getting to the stage where if you were say a Cap4 team - would you want a ref if you were risking getting fined up to $100 for not much - when the referee was probably about as experienced and neutral as some random on the sideline (who wouldnt incur the 50 odd dollar referee charge to the club)?
The clubs themsleves are going to start to not want refs - as the fines are theirs not the individuals - and asking money from footballers is like asking Ferrante to shoot on target.

Fair. Although are there actually cards in Cap 4?
Oh Wellington is wonderful. We got the wind, the rain and the phoenix. Oh Wellington is wonderful.

There are cards (and fines) at all levels if the ref is an official one.

We had an interesting event today.
A guy from the other club (who I think has done a fair bit of reffing) offered to officiate for the whole game, he was quite scrict and made a few overzealous calls but with 20 minutes or so to go one of the oppostion kept refusing to get back 10 feet at a free kick. The reff sent him off which set one of the subs into a pretty angry tirade and he called his team to come off the pitch.
The reff then called the game over but we and the oppostion decided we wanted to keep playing. Best part, the guy who reffed the rest of the game was the bloke who was shouting at the original reff.
Pretty entertaining day out.

I can understand players getting frustrated at decisions by unqualified referees, but at the end of the day if you don't volunteer to ref, don't complain cause atleast you get to play.

Difficult game to control, especially when the players want a piece of each other.
In response to the comment about NZ referee's being terrible, I noted that the 56 "squad' of World Cup 2010 referee's contained 2 New Zealanders and only one Englishman. A bit of an odd one, but FIFA obviously thinks they are alright!

Especially painful when some refs consider verbals such as "i beg your pardon?" to be worthy of a yellow card... stupid little 12 year old refs

I see Mr Sargent is doing a Capital One game this weekend, why is he not doing higher?
The best ref in Wellington by a long shot!

He reffed our game on Saturday. Simply superb. I think he might have injured himself pre-season and is just getting back into it. He and Jim Murphy have been the best in Wellington for a long time. Dennis Wilson was excellent too before he retired a few years back.
