A message for all Clubs and Referees
The SYFA do not accept paper team lines, please do not go ahead with a game without a COMET team line.
Thanks
Match Results
The Association are still experiencing some problems with the Comet system especially on the recording of match results.
We are now asking all teams in the SERYFA leagues to send an email on the conclusion of the match highlighting the age group, the two participating teams and more importantly the match result.
Emails should be sent to Allan Archibald, the Association Secretary –
Maximum Recorded Score
Clubs are reminded on the maximum recorded score policy of the SYFA.
Where the final score for either participating team exceeds nine, the recorded result as supplied by the referee will be amended to nine. So, for example if the final score is 14 – 0, the match records will be amended by the Association to read 9 – 0.
Clubs who use social media to advise match scores should adhere to the same policy. Do not exceed NINE.
Ian Mackay
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Ian Mackay.
Ian was a sports reporter with the Edinburgh Evening News and in the 2010s it was he who introduced a page called 'Local Heroes'. Prior to that coverage of minor events had been very spasmodic with, for example , results of youth and amateur football matches appearing one week but not the next and so on. This lack of continuity meant that the reader was left in limbo as to how matters were progressing.
Good morning,
This email has been sent to all SYFA club secretaries, SYFA league secretaries and all registered additional signatories.
We are extremely pleased to announce that we are within 2 weeks of processing in the grassroots football pvg inbox.
Change of Match Protocol
After discussions with the SYFA we have decided to immediately introduce an after-match policy of NO team line up handshakes.
At present teams are lining up at the end of a match, both players and officials, to shake hands but much to our concern this practice has led to an increasing number of unacceptable reported incidents.
So, in future the end of match line up practice must CEASE
Individuals may shake hands if they so wish.
