Campaign - Worst field for marshalls??

your so right, guys if you win things are great. if you lose the refs are ****. if you win and the refs gave you a bad call, you dont care. we only moan about bad calls if we loose.

john,(not LJ) i know what your saying about those shots and basically refs need to be sure that that you've been shot before pulling you out.

ashley you did a great job dude, thanks! (see we dont all moan)

i think some of you guys need to think before you speak on these threads, as i think you are very quick to judge. i feel that marshels have to ref games and make split second decisions that conform with the rules. there are bound to be mistakes, but i rekon 9 times out of 10 you should have been pulled or deserved that 1 for 1.

i played all of the cup and had a great weekend, and i think the standard of marsheling was very high considering they had to ref you bunch of moaners! and like ash said no marshels......no tourney!

Guys, my principal point in starting this post revolves around this:

"The basics of good marshalling surely is to be sure that a player has been hit, before you call him 'out'. "

Perhaps on reflection I generalised about the overall standard of marshalling, but this was very much based on our experiences on at least 3 occasions of marshalls calling us 'out' because they 'thought' we had been hit. 2 of these calls were on myself.

Unfortunately for us, there was no 'hit'. But the marshalls did not come in to check us to confirm a hit before eliminating us, and of course, when we pointed out that there was no 'hit' as we left the field, by then it was too late.

I stand by my view that (for me) this WAS our worst experience in terms of marshalling, but I also accept the point that there were more good calls than bad. I thought that went without saying, so I didn't say it first <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=time&v=56">time</a> around.

It's also human nature to argue more about a 'bad call' if you lose the game than when the game is won.

Totally agree with Milhouse, ideally you should be able to win without dodgy calls going on, one of the reasons most of us don't jump on the internet moaning about this ref and that ref.

It's part of the game.

But when it's a major tourney you can't help thinking what would have happened if they did pull their snake/corner guy for that hit on his knee/elbow whatever.

Found the marshals pretty goo din general, although on 2 occasions the spyder field ultimate admitted after the game was over that a player had been pulled from our squad by mistake, but hey we still won em!

Just wish there was a little more time between games to wipe bunkers down, Got pulled for a pink mark on my hopper off a bunker even though i pointed out to the marshal that we were shootin yellow and they were shootin orange! Oh well

But yeah, its a job i dont wanna do, and generally what goes around comes around. We all get good and bad calls so pretty much evens out

thought the reffing on the whole was good didnt see any bia's refs and we did have a couple of calls go against us but youve just got to accept that people make mistakes sometimes (like 1 4 1 ing bailey that boys a psycho not a good idea )

Strange thing about the T.hawk field, had a similar experience in regard to good and bad marshaling in one game. Here goes...

Playing the 40yrd left hand, stand up coke, and spot this guy making a move down the right tape, so, i blast him. He takes the hits and keeps going thus marking me multiple times, marshal notes this and 1-4-1's him while wiping me down. GREAT!!!
I then turn , put their back left in and make an unnoticed dash to the first brick in the centre complex with no paint coming in, marshal runs over and calls me out for a hit that had not been wiped away properly by the previous marshal. I try and explain the details marshal yells at me so i leave the field.

Bad luck or bad communication between the marshals??

ps, both marshals were standing next to eachother from the beginning........wierd.

Every good refs nightmare is pulling a player out for an invalid paint mark.

While reffing on the EXL field I experienced an example of the way it should be done. Jaime Menino, our Portugese EXL ref who has been recruited to ref with the NXL, was following a player downfield full speed, like the player's shadow, pointing at him and shouting "He's clean! He's clean!"

No doubt in that case.

If we see what looks like a valid hit on a player it is our obligation to call them out. There's no way we can take the player's word for it. That's why it is important for refs to follow an invalidly marked player if there's no time for wiping them down.
