I was a bit worried that LF hadn't put our semi squad list in yesterday for the kids footy, it has to be submited and recieved 7 days before the match which was last Saturday. Thankfully after rechecking with him all is okay and we've had acknowledgement from the league all player are cleared. I just had visions of us being kicked out the competition because the paperwork hadn't been done. The situation will out opposition is rather unclear though. When I spoke to LF a couple of days ago he had said that he'd received their copy. Last night I asked him to scan and email me the sheet which he did. On the sheet it says received on the 12 Mar 07 and doesn't have the club sec signature. Now the rule book states that the sheet must be received seven days before and names of any players after this date cannot be added. If no sheet is received players are ineligible and the team expelled from the competion. So it really depends upon how the league decide to interpret this. The way I read it is that on the 10 Mar 07 deadline we didn't have any team squad list and therefore all their players are inelligible. However, I believe the league will cop out and allow the other team to play. The rule makes no reference to late submission of sheet and any subsequent fines made on that basis. So at this stage a few days before the game I have totally no idea what if anything is going to happen.
Its my birthday today, I got a gift from the people I work with. It was two very nice photo frames and some Thornton chocs, I think I may put photos of J & C. Its a bit of a paradox really, it makes me really embarassed but if they hadn't I would have been really hurt. I really wasn't in the best of moods yesterday. Today something has seized in the left side of my neck, its probably connected to the stress which I wipped myself up to.
I am planning to go to that school match after work. I spoke to my sister last night about CB and she is expressed her opinion that although he works hard he not a very strong player and falls to the ground to much something which the other parents have commented on apparently. I am there to observe so I will try and keep my distance from his dad to have some objectivity and avoid distraction.
