Comment copied from VMFL Thread on Mercy Rule: One item not addressed on this subject is the "Timeout Issue" This issue also does not just pertain to Midget BUT ALL LEVELS of football in the VMFL . Several people on here get bent over the scores being run up, when games are blowouts they w...

In every major league there is a defined criteria in place to allstar selection. Why- so its clear to everybody what the determination is based on before a season starts. All it seems Coach George,[ who I've never met, dont know where he coaches,] , was asking for was some clarification which seems...

When I see a topic like this... especially when it`s a person`s first post... my first thought is that someone is trolling for compliments. You can`t name the top 5 players. How do you compare an offensive lineman to a running back, or a kicker to a wide receiver? And why would you want to do this ...

Looking at the standings today...can you tell me why I would not think ND was the better team?

For now....who know what the Executive might decide next week.

George, You need to put on Some stripes and work a few games and see how it works on the field. Anyone can officiate from the sidelines. A normal quarter will take about 20-25 minutes in midget. A running time quarter will take 12 minutes! So if we had been running the clock in my last example, at ...

Well I guess chaos you have just proven that the incident that is hinted at shouldn't have happened... Fair enough you say exec and league officials have the " right" to be there.. Not worth arguing as coach George can see if the rules can be manipulated or bent or for that matter made as...

Here's another thing Coach George. I believe that the VMFL Executive should decide on their Starbowl head coach at a meeting after the season on a vote. Any of the coaches from the teams in the League could be considered and voted for. The successful coach receiving the honour will be someone who e...

Score is 46-0. Team A is winning. There is 4 minutes left in the game, no mercy rule. at 3:06 left # 46 for team B lays a late hit on Team A QB. The late hit results in the QB being taken to the hospital and he is done for the season with a bad knee. If the mercy rule had been going the game would ...

As far as rules of who can be in the commissioners box, the league executive and association president has a right to be there. They cannot affect the game or comment to the benches players or refs but they are permitted to be there. CONDUCT OF THE GAME Section 1 - The Field D) Spectators are to be...

As the people directly involved already know there is a VMFL Handbook that has the rules and everything in place that covered this situation. Its all in black and white and available to all coaches. So in a situation like this which hasn't happened in years if ever there is a procedure in place. 'T...

One more thing. What good is a suspension to an 18 year old who won't be coming back next year? Or any player at any age that is not coming back to the VMFL. The player could be moving to the Valley or to High School. You can have cheap shots even in the regular season...cheap shots at anytime shou...

I have to you in a PM...so VMFLCOMMISH does not delete this thread again.

SDmom wrote:But maybe you do have a point. The VMFL could add a line to the rules, stating that a suspended player must sit an actual game played, and a forfeited game doesn't count.

Would make sence...that alone is reason it won't happen.

I know that the Refs are going to step in here and give their opinion. The mercy rule is not about feeling sorry for the losing team. The mercy rule is there to protect the players from further injury. I am not talking about the normal injuries you see in a game I am talking about the cheap shots t...

I'm sorry Coach George, I couldn't agree with SDMom more. Here's the thing.... the game was not played, therefore the coaches (whoever they are) did not serve their one game suspension. A game needs to be played which in fact they miss. After all, there has to be some consequences for their foolish...

Does anyone remember the JB Game between the Coquitlam Vikings and White Rock JB teams, 1/2 time in White Rock, Coquitlam is heading back over the the bench for the 2nd half. White Rock coach comes over with the game official and Commissioner to inform the Vikings. White Rock is going to forfeit the...

What's he going to do... pop me one with all those other men around, never mind the players?

With my luck though... he would, and all of the refs would have been looking the other way.

That is the problem now days you never know?

Same goes for the players, including - especially - my own son. Easy to type SDmom...not saying you would not do it, but how would you explain it to your son that yes the game was a forfeit, your team earned a win, gained points for and none against them...but the game did not count. Your out for a...
