Boycott Shaun Evans Games
We should start boycotting games refereed by referees like Shaun Evans who is sub standard. That guy doesn’t belong in state league let alone A-League. Think this crap will continue until FFA are stripped of A-League Control.
We need to send message that shit refereeing will NOT be tolerated.

Re: Boycott Shaun Evans Games
I guess its a case of beggars can't be choosers. The standard of refereeing in this country has been low for a very long time. I know there are full time refs out there. I'm not sure who they are these days. I presume Chris Beath is one. Who I think is a good example of the system. He was for sometime quite poor. But he was allowed time to develop and now I feel he's probably the best referee we have. (I'm not saying he's perfect but he generally has a good level of control over a match, and isn't usually suckered into dumb calls by clever players like most of the others are). So I think like most players, refs need time to develop and get up to speed with the HAL as refereeing NPL doesn't appear to be enough to get refs ready.
If you look at most referees they are generally less than 50 games into their careers. The main problem is that once a ref hits the age of about 30 they are really at a cross roads of their life when many have family commitments and the level of pay isn't a massive draw card compared to most other careers out there. So many walk away just when they are getting to a decent level of experience. So for refs to improve far more resources need to be thrown at them to keep the good ones in their positions for longer as well as making it more lucrative to be a ref which would create more competition for refereeing positions in which case (presumably) the (Matt) Cream will rise to the top!

Re: Boycott Shaun Evans Games
People are already walking away from the aleague in numbers for various reasons
If they have not already got the message the overall standard of the league needs attention then they never will.
The last time things were this stale ben buckley was running the show.

Re: Boycott Shaun Evans Games
We have a couple of poor referees at the moment, but that ranks pretty low in my list of priorities for the FFA to address.
I think the FFA have had their eye off the ball for a little while. The league needs massive promotion to revive the slump in attendance.
However, I still much prefer the FFA in charge rather than the A-league clubs.

Re: Boycott Shaun Evans Games
Upon reflection I think there probably was a foul on the CCM player. Last man so possibly red but not definitely a goal scoring opportunity.
I was livid at the time but had the shoe been on the other foot I would have expected a red.
I don't know if there is any bias towards us, rather just incompetence.

Re: Boycott Shaun Evans Games
it's the other errors though. The clear handball from hoole before the free kick that led to the goal. Shaun evans was 3 metres away woth an unobstructed view. Then the clear high foot on isais on the edge of the box again unobstructed then later he called a high foot against us.
The fact he carded isais 10 minutes in due to two fouls yet melling ran rampant breaking down attacks. He carded Kurz for questioning him yet has never carded a coach before?
If anyone thinks that he does not have a chip on his shoulder after aufc requested he never ref one of our games again, you have got to be blind.
The human ego and natural bias is impossible to ignore. We all have ego, we all have biases. Shaun evans included.

Re: RE: Re: Boycott Shaun Evans Games
Agree with all above. I think we also had at least one really soft yellow card but it took a really hard foul for any CCM players to be punished.it's the other errors though. The clear handball from hoole before the free kick that led to the goal. Shaun evans was 3 metres away woth an unobstructed view. Then the clear high foot on isais on the edge of the box again unobstructed then later he called a high foot against us.

It may have been a red but in that situation, with the VAR now at the refs disposal, he could of waited to see what the VAR suggested. Once Gulum was in the tunnel there was no coming back, even if VAR saw no contact 5 mins later, can they bring a player out of the shower and back onto the pitch?
Edit- sorry I must of been thinking of Isaias' card too.

Re: Boycott Shaun Evans Games
Earlier this season a player had the red card over turned and they came back from the tunnel, it was a Bundesliga game though which means there were competent officials on duty. That is the major problem for Australia, the match officials are generally rubbish. Evans has really never been good and still is not after a few years and now a full time referee. That fact alone probably explains why officiating is a mess in this country, whoever made him full time needs to sacked!

Re: Boycott Shaun Evans Games
I am not sure if boycotting games officiated by Shaun Evans is going to have any impact beyond making it more difficult for the club to break-even.
The officiating isn't great, however grumbling about the quality of referees appears something of a constant regardless of the quality of the refs.

I’d rather turn up and really let Shaun Evans know how I feel in no uncertain terms.

Agreed. let loose on him (within reason) make him uncomfortable and hate venturing away from melbourne.I’d rather turn up and really let Shaun Evans know how I feel in no uncertain terms.
