Co-operation On Football Field

Referees And Linesmen Should Work Together Aiding The Association

(By "SCRAMBLER”)

A STORM seems to have cropped up out of the Annual Meeting of the Hongkong Referees' Association about the co-operation of referees. Such an incident as was quoted in the match bo- twoon South China and Royal Scots bears some romarks.

If one were a Póliceman, and whilst off duty saw a man arrested for a crime committed by another, it is his right and duty to notify the right quarters that a mistake had been committed and that a wrong man had been held. Because he is a Policeman off duty does not mean that he should mind his own business and let the other man.look after it. Such a course would only bring about a "miscarriage of justice".

The Referee concerned did the same mistakes it is for- right in bringing notice to givable. responsible quarters, and were it not for his action, the wrong man would have been ponalised for an action. that did not in any way emanate from him. I

The officials concerned are ap- pointed to govern the games, and they are in a position to give the ver- diets better than the spectators. I think Clubs should make it their business to see to it that their sup-

warranted barracking and remarks be at all costs effaced.

the

am still wondering what porters behave themselves, and un- happened to the two linesmen that were officiating at that game? Was the actual offence obscured from their view? Or was it that they loft it to the discretion of the Roforce con- cerned to deal with the situa- tion?

This is where "co-operation" in the right sense should have been called up among the referees and the lines- men.

Spectators who understand fundamental principles of the game will readily concede the pros and cons for the referees, and because a deci- sion is given against their team during a crucial moment is no reason why rowdy behaviour should be al- lowed to exist.

Poor Services

THE last few seasons have seen THE

a decline in the standard of the Services' football. Up till then, there never was a day in which the best of the Services could not give the best of the Civilians and Chinese real op- position. The Army at one period used to produce league winning teams, but they, too, have fallen off considerably, and are at the moment far below the local standard.

Linesmen аго supposed to act accondary to the referee in all matches, but their decisions and views during the game must be at tended to by the referee concerned should me be presented to him during the game.

If, as some re ferees take in upon themselves to ignore the calling of such linesmen simply because they consider them. below their standard or are biased, Unless a rejuvenation of their team then the question of co-operation as be brought about as soon as possible, suggested at the meeting was all "eye this decline will persist. wh
