FootballChat Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Does the league have any rule in place to permit drinks breaks during the games? I’ve heard a mixture of view pre season from referees, some say it’s not permitted in the rules but others say go for it. Hopefully common sense prevails during the 30C temperatures forecast around the county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornish leg end Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Surely we don’t need anything to come out from the league it’s common sense from all involved in the game to stop and take some fluids on. Ref stops his/hers watch then they carry on Marcus Grose, golong, Tommy Matthews and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karaoke Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 We all in various capacities are involved in football for enjoyment, if that means drinks breaks so be it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwdi Krugg Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Current accepted FA Referee discretion for drinks is during obvious prolonged breaks/delays in play (injuries etc) as long as players don't leave the pitch. Looking for a match ball because someone's hoofed the other two into a nearby village doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Darren Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Watched a friendly the other week between St Agnes and Mawgan. Was a warm day, the players went to take on board a drink whilst a player was down injured. The referee was not impressed and called them back on citing "this is not a kids game".

sportsman10 Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 No ref will want to be in a situation where a players collapsed with dehydration because he been refused a sip of water in a Cornish football match. Just pure commen sense in this weather.you Don’t need the ok from higher up. mattelot, Buckland Jim and Thecupfootballblogger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitty Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Might be a shock to some but their is quite a lot of common sense out there 😉 - Refs discretion when the weather is Uber-Toasty as long as both management teams are happy for it to happen and usually kicks in around the 20-25 min mark in a natural break in play……….quite funny to watch it though as the players take a few sips and then huddle in to attempt to steal a few extra seconds of a tactical masterclass chat 😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pure commen sense in this weather.you Don’t need the ok from higher up. Absolutely quite right. And no ref would ever refuse a player taking on board fluids. However, the laws of the game defines a drinks break (which is also different from a cooling break, difference being time and purpose) and it specifically states if competition rules permit. Even where an official drinks break is not permitted there are opportunities during a game where fluids can be taken in. It's administrative really. With drinks break permitted the referee can actually stop the game for a minute for players to get a drink. Without it, strictly speaking it should be at a natural stoppage or break in play. But absolutely there would never be a refusal for a player or players to take on water, extreme heat or not. But that's as and when, rather than a set about time for it to happen. I believe they have been agreed for this weekend anyway so no danger. Expect to see drinks breaks across the leagues. In reality, we'd have seen them anyway as even us refs will be gasping for a drink too. Thecupfootballblogger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwdi Krugg Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Never mind drink stoppages, with plus-30-degree heat forecast for Saturday there's rumblings across Non League that some fixtures maybe postponed in the interest of player safety. Heat stroke factors etc. If games go ahead, would imagine spectators will be choosing grounds that offer a degree of shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea but You won’t get many player votes for that I bet. That eating into players nights out.

Maybe just something to trial as a one off. 1st game of the season, St Austell and St Blazey home at 3pm. Could one of us have had a late kick off and if it clashes a month later the other side have a late kick off. Maybe just do it twice a season each for example. If it means more people through the gate and supporters get to watch two local sides, maybe not a bad thing.

Remember playing for 1 Sunday side turned and we only had 10 men then. First five mins we lose another with head injury down to 9 then 30 mins later 2 had to go to work as their pager went off. Played on with 7 till ref called it off We we’re only 1 down as well. Then back the pub. Definitely the fun side of it Sunday football.

I still remember subs stood on the touchline in their under pants, as we only had 11 pairs of shorts and they had to swap with the player coming off.

Not a book but there’s a great Instagram page of photos from Cornish Sunday League sides from a former Uni student I believe. Not sure it’s been updated in a while but worth a quick look. https://instagram.com/sunday_league?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
