It seems no matter what leagues do to conclude their seasons, they can’t please everybody!
We urge people to be kind to the hard working unpaid volunteers who are doing their best right now, this past year has been horrible for everybody and there is no excuse to make it worse!

5️⃣ Play double headers

Discrimination | We would like to make it clear that everybody is welcome to play football in the SSFL, football is a game for all. It's beyond disappointing to learn of an alleged homophobic slur being used last Sunday. Those found guilty should expect big fines and lengthy bans

Would really like to thank everybody for their very kind words and messages following our pitch inspection marathon!
It makes sense for a couple of people to look at pitches rather than allow hundreds of people to travel unnecessarily - this is more important during covid-19!

Ten years ago, the SSFL ran with just 3 divisions, next year we’ll run with 80+ clubs in 8 divisions!
The progress has been astonishing and we are so proud of this achievement. There is however much more work to be done for us to continue to make improvements to move forward..

Would you like to referee your own game next week?
This is a poor tweet which shows a complete lack of understanding of the current issues in football include a huge ref shortage
You should be grateful that you have quality league officers who bother to get you a ref at all!
Double Header result from 19/02/23. Very disappointed to not be coming away with 4 points minimum today. Poor decisions regarding stone wall penalty’s, & not stopping the game due to a serious head injury cost us in the 2nd game👎🏽 On to the next one nevertheless.

Administration & Finance | Running a football club is about so much more than what happens on the pitch
Unless you run your club correctly then the football simply doesn't happen. If you repeatedly ignore league emails then you'll end up being suspended, it's as simple as that!

Lots of great footage from clubs on twitter which is good to watch. What is not nice is the cowardly way clubs are calling referees decisions out.
Referees are human, they get one look at something, they are under pressure and stress.
They make mistakes, deal with it!
