LEAGUE CODE OF CONDUCT

OXFORD MAIL YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUE The Oxford Mail Youth Football League (OMYFL) has signed up to the FA Respect programme and expects all member clubs to ensure that teams playing under their name abide by the Respect Codes of Conduct. The League will not tolerate bad behaviour by any of its members regardless of their involvement in youth football. The officers (i.e. Chairman, Secretary and Welfare Officer) of each club together with the team managers/coaches and assistants must sign this document to say they will ensure their club and its members will abide by the League's Rules and the Respect Codes of Conduct. Each home club shall make arrangements for the provision of a Designated Spectator Area. This area can be marked by an additional painted line, the use of cones, a roped off area or use of a temporary spectator barrier. The area for spectators should start two metres from the touchline on one side of the pitch and should run for most of the length of the pitch (allowing room for corners to be taken unimpeded). It is recognised, however, that the alignment of some public pitches does not allow for this arrangement in which case other appropriate arrangements should be made. Each home club shall make arrangements for the provision of two Technical Areas on the opposite side of the pitch to the Designated Spectator Area, one for home team coaching staff and substitutes and one for the away team coaching staff and substitutes (see handbook for further details). Each team will appoint a captain who will liaise with the Referee to manage the game though it is understood that this will apply in practice only to older age groups from U12 upwards where players can understand the responsibilities of the role of captain. In the older age groups (U12 to U20), the captain should be clearly identifiable by use of an armband. Each club is responsible for the behaviour of its players, officials, committee members, spectators and relatives, before, during and after the game. Each club must control these people accordingly. If a member is causing any kind of disruption or demonstrating poor practice, the club will be responsible for controlling that behaviour. If this is not done, the club will be subject to disciplinary action. The club acknowledges that the referee is empowered not to start (or restart) the game until the Designated Spectator Area has been delimitated and spectators are in the Designated Area, and until the Manager/Coaches and substitutes are in the Technical Areas. Club officials and appointed referees are required to report to the League Secretary or League Fixtures Secretary any team not complying with the above requirements. The league will investigate any reported breaches and take appropriate action under the League rules. Any breach of the OMYFL Code of Conduct will result in a report being submitted to the County FA and once dealt with the League may take disciplinary action as it deems necessary.

Club Officials (Chairperson, Secretary and Welfare Officer), Managers and Coaches will be required to sign a copy of the League Code of Conduct before the start of the season, with the signatures being returned to the League Secretary. Anyone taking over any of these roles during the season will be required to sign a copy of the League Code of Conduct and this should be sent to the League Secretary at the earliest opportunity.

issue a formal written charge to the Club concerned. The Club charged shall be given 7 days from the date of

notification of the charge to reply. In such reply a Club may:-

(i) Accept the charge and submit in writing a case of mitigation for consideration by the Management Committee on the papers; or

(iii) Deny the charge and submit in writing supporting evidence for consideration by the Management Committee on the papers; or

failing to keep its engagement the Management Committee shall have the power to impose a fine (in accordance with the Fines Tariff), deduct points from the defaulting Club, award the points from the Competition Match in question to the opponents, order the defaulting Club to pay any reasonable

expenses incurred by the opponents or otherwise deal with them except the award of goals. Notwithstanding the foregoing home and away provision, the Management Committee shall have power to order a Competition Match to be played on a neutral ground or on the opponent’s Ground if they are satisfied that such action is warranted by the circumstances.

(ii) Any Club unable to fulfil a fixture or where a Competition Match has been postponed for any reason must, without delay, give notice to the (Fixtures) Secretary, the Competition Referees Appointments Secretary,

the secretary of the opposing Club and the Match Officials.

Such notice must be given in writing together with the reasons at least five (5) clear days preceding the date of the match. If due to player unavailability, then the notice to the League Fixtures Secretary must include the names of the players who are unavailable.

Players non-availability

Within five (5) days of the date on which the match was due to have been played the Club causing the

postponement must send a written explanation on the official postponement form to the Fixtures Secretary. Clubs may, instead of posting a postponement form, email the Fixtures Secretary with the relevant information. If the postponement was due to lack of players then this must be supported by written

evidence from parents, school, or medical practitioners stating why players were not available to play and sent to the Fixtures Secretary within five (5) days of the date on which match was due to have been played.

Insufficient registered players alone is not a valid reason for a postponement. All registered players,

including those who are suspended from football by a County FA, will be counted when deciding the number of registered players a team has available to play.

Clubs must inform the League Fixtures Secretary of unavailability of players with names and/or managers at least three (3) weeks before cancelling matches scheduled during any school holiday.

Managers non-availability

If a manager or coach is unavailable to run their team on day of the match then the League will expect the

club to assist and appoint a responsible adult to take charge of the team on the day of the match. If the game is postponed due to no adult being available then the game may be awarded to the opposition.

The non-offending Club must also inform, in writing, within five (5) days of the date on which the match was due to have been played the reason for the postponement to the Fixtures Secretary.

Any Club failing to comply shall be dealt with by the Disciplinary Committee.

Pitch conditions/Adverse weather

In the event of a postponement due to the condition of the pitch or adverse weather it is both Clubs responsibility to make all efforts to play the game. If an alternative pitch can be found or the fixture can be


reversed then this must occur even if the fixture has already been reversed. (This may mean that teams play

both fixtures at home or away).

The requirement to reverse the fixture will not however apply:

(a) where the condition of the pitch at the contemplated reverse venue is:

(i) unplayable on the day; or

(ii) (in the view of a qualified referee or grounds person) of such condition that playing on it would likely

cause the pitch concerned to be unplayable in future weeks for an extended period of time and where

the non-acceptance of such reverse fixture is necessary to preserve the playability of that pitch later in the season; or

(b) where reversing the fixture is contemplated on the day of the match and the distance to the contemplated venue is such that it would not be reasonable to expect a team to travel that distance at

such short notice.

If either manager refuses to play at another venue the Disciplinary Committee will ask for a written explanation from the manager concerned. If the Disciplinary Committee decide that the written explanation invalid or it is not received, they may award the game to the opposing team.

When a fixture is reversed due to the condition of the pitch or adverse weather then the same kick off time

should be kept unless a change is agreed by both teams and the match referee.. The original named home

team is responsible for phoning in the result, sending in the match card and paying the appointed officials.

Communication (last minute)

If a pitch becomes unplayable/unavailable late on the night before the match or on matchday, the home

team manager must contact the away team manager and referee (if appointed) via personal conversation and not via messaging or messages left (answer phone, voicemail, text, email, instant messaging, social

network sites etc) to ensure the message has got through. If a team does not have enough players available

on matchday, they must speak directly to the opposition manager to inform them.

Valid or Invalid Postponements

The Discipline Committee shall consider all postponed matches and decide whether or not the

postponement was valid or invalid. If valid the match will be rearranged. If invalid the team that caused the postponement will be fined (in accordance with the Fines Tariff) and the Discipline Committee are

empowered to award the game and points to the opponents or in the case of a Cup match award the game to the opponents.

Failure to comply with this Rule will result in a fine (in accordance with the Fines Tariff)

(iii) In the event of a Competition Match not being played or abandoned owing to causes over which neither

Club has control, it should be played in its entirety on a date to be mutually agreed by the two Clubs and approved by the Management Committee. Failing such agreement and notification to the (Fixtures)

Secretary within five (5) days the Management Committee shall have the power to order the Competition Match to be played on a named date or on or before a given date.

Within five (5) days of the date on which the match was due to have been played both Clubs must send a

written explanation as to why the game was not played or abandoned to the Fixtures Secretary. If this was due to players being unavailable then this must be supported by written evidence from parents, school, or medical practitioners stating why players were not available to play.

Where it is to the advantage of the Competition and the Clubs involved agree, the Management

Committee shall also be empowered to order the score at the time of an abandonment to stand.



(iv) The Management Committee shall review all Competition Matches abandoned in cases where it is

consequent upon the conduct of either or both Teams. Where it is to the advantage of the Competition

and does no injustice to either Club, the Management Committee shall be empowered to order the score at the time of the abandonment to stand. In all cases where the Management Committee are satisfied that a Competition Match was abandoned owing to the conduct of one Team or its Club member(s) they shall be empowered to award the points for the Competition Match to the opponent. In cases where a Competition Match has been abandoned owing to the conduct of both Teams or their Club member(s), the

Management Committee shall rule that neither Team will be awarded any points for that Competition Match and it shall not be replayed. No fine(s) can be applied by the Management Committee for an abandoned Competition Match.

(v) The Management Committee shall review any Competition Match that has taken place where either or

both Teams were under a suspension imposed upon them by The FA or Affiliated Association. In each case the Team that was under suspension would be dealt with in the same manner as if they had participated

with ineligible players in accordance with Rule 18(N)(i) above. Where both Teams were under suspension

the Competition Match must be declared null and void and shall not be replayed.

APPENDICES

1. Results Reporting (via SMS)

In order to ensure that all match results are submitted on time (and help clubs avoid fines) and to help reduce the amount of manual work by League officials, all results will now be reported via the Full-Time SMS Text Message system.

SMS Text Message During each game (normally 15 minutes after kick-off), the Full-Time system will send an SMS Text Message to each registered mobile number, reminding them to send in the result of the game.

For example:

The SMS Text Message does look a bit confusing and full of information, but don’t worry, sending a response is straightforward.

Replying to the SMS Text Message When the game has finished and before the League result reporting deadline arrives, BOTH home and away clubs should report the score by replying to their text message.

1. League Games Most teams will be able to send just a simple reply, giving the score for the game, home team first, away team second, and separated by a hyphen. For example, if the score was Home 2 Away 1, the reply would be:

2. League Games - multiple team admin If you are responsible for sending results for more than one team, then you will be asked to include a team code (see Team Codes section below) to identify the correct fixture/team. The team code will be included in the SMS Text Message (example highlighted in yellow below):

So your reply would be the score (using format H-A) and your team code, for example:

FA Full-Time Results: AB12 v KY12,

Sun 16 Oct 10:30. Reply H-A score:

e.g. 2-2 3-3 AET 3-1 PENS

2-1

FA Full-Time Results: AB12 v KY12, Sun 16

Oct 10:30. Reply H-A score and code AB12:

e.g. 2-2 AB12 2-2 AB12 3-3 AET 3-1 PENS

2-1 AB12

Key to highlighted sections Fixture (home and away teams) Date/time of fixture Format of reply requested Example score (including cup game options)


3. Cup Games These games may involve extra time and penalties, and the SMS Text Message shows how this information should be included if appropriate (see green highlighted text below). For example:

When reporting the result for a Cup game, only include the relevant information. For example (again, include the team code if it is requested):

Submitting score only Submitting score and team code

result in normal time

result after extra time

result after penalties

4. Postponements/Abandoned games These are treated the same as normal scores, so you would enter P-P for postponed and A-A for abandoned (plus the team code if requested, as noted above for multiple team admin). For example:

Submitting score only Submitting score and team code

postponed game

abandoned game

5. Switched games If a game is switched to your opponent’s ground or a neutral ground, please make sure you report the score the correct way round. If you are down as the home side on Full-Time, please put your score first and if you are the away side on Full-Time, please put your score second (irrespective of whether you played at home or away or at a neutral venue).

6. Futsal games and Trophy Events You may receive SMS Text Messages for Futsal games and Trophy Events – you can ignore ones for Futsal and U7-U8

Trophy events, but you must reply to SMS Text Messages for U9, U10 and U11 Trophy event fixtures.

Team Codes

Each team has been given a unique three or four digit code to identify it in the system. For example

AYY9 Abingdon Youth Yellow Under 9s KY12 Kidlington Youth Under 12s MS08 Marston Saints Under 8s

Important Notes To Remember Do NOT include any extra information in your reply to the SMS text message other than the information requested, as it will cause errors in the Full-Time system. Do NOT try to submit the result before you receive the SMS text message. If the SMS text message asks for a team code, make sure you add it after the score. Please tell the League asap if you change your mobile number! Contact Paul Lyon ([email protected]) or Rob Roslyn ([email protected]). Please tell the League if a fixture is incorrect on Full-Time before the game is played. Contact Paul Lyon ([email protected]). Remember that the SMS score is processed by a computer, so the format needs to be correct.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I have not received a text message from Full-Time requesting the result. What do I do?

Text the result to Paul Lyon (07876 682501), stating that no Full-Time SMS has come through. Please also confirm

the correct mobile number for SMS results reporting for your team so we can check the system has the correct

number.

I have received the SMS text message. Do I have to respond immediately?

The reply can be sent any time after the final whistle has been blown for the game and before the standard deadline

for reporting results. However, if you report the score immediately after the game, then it is one thing less to sort

out later.

I have sent in the result by SMS but it has not appeared on Full-Time. Should I send the message again?

No. There could be a short time delay whilst the system processes all the scores and adds them to the system. Also,

there may be a conflict in the system if the scores sent by the two teams are different – this will be resolved by a

League Administrator after checking the match card.

mailto:[email protected]




I am submitting more than one result. How does the system know which game I mean?

If you are submitting the results for more than one game on the same day, you will need to include the unique team

code for your team after the score, e.g. 1-0 SS12. The unique team codes should be in the SMS from Full-Time but

we will circulate a list of team codes to all clubs.

I have tried to reply to the SMS but my phone says it is not being delivered. Should I send the message again?

Yes, you can try again. If you are approaching the reporting deadline and your phone has still not delivered the

reply, send a separate text or email to Paul Lyon with the result. Please also use this method if your phone is not

working or has been lost/stolen (in addition, remember to let us know if you want to change to a different mobile

number going forward).

Does the away side have to reply to the Full-Time SMS?

Yes, both teams have to text the score for each game to ensure that the score is correct.

What happens if I make a mistake sending the score?

Let Paul Lyon know of the error, along with the correct score, and it will be updated manually.

What happens if I don’t reply to the Full-Time SMS?

If you don’t submit a score (either via the SMS Text Message or to Paul in cases where the SMS message does not

arrive) and you have not reported any problems to the League, then your club will be fined for not submitted a

result.

What about goal scorers/match reports (U12-U16 only)?

Please do not include the goal scorers or match reports in your SMS reply to Full-Time.

Goal scorers should be sent by the home side only (as happens currently) via separate text or email to Paul Lyon (if

you send the match card via email/text, then that will include the goal scorers). Match reports should be sent to

Paul in the usual way via email.

2. Match Statistics Reporting (Full-Time)

1. Access

To access Full-Time, you will need to be set up as a Manager, Coach or Team Secretary by your club in Whole Game

System (WGS). Please make sure your mobile phone and email address are attached to your FA profile and are kept

up-to-date.

Once set up, you will be sent an email from the system, inviting you to create a username and password. Please

remember these, as you will need them throughout the season.

2. Login

To login, access http://fulltime-admin.thefa.com/gen/Login.do or use the Sign In link on the League Full-Time screen.

When you log in for the first time, you will be asked to accept the FA Full-Time terms and conditions of use. Please

Once logged in, you will arrive at the Admin Home screen (see below)

http://fulltime-admin.thefa.com/gen/Login.do


To enter a result, press the Result tab in the blue menu bar at the top of the screen. You will then be taken to the

Team Admin Result Entry screen. Here you will see the fixtures for your team from the last seven days and for the

next seven days (if you are a team admin for several teams, then you will see the fixtures for each of these teams).

The match result will have been entered automatically from the SMS Results text message that you will have sent in

earlier (or at least should have!).

In this screen, press the blue Statistics button under your team (remember both home and away teams must do this,

but you will have access to only your team).

The match statistics are in three tabs. You must enter the requested information in each of the tabs.

TAB 1 – FA Marks

Firstly you need to enter the referee mark.


Please enter the following:

Referee name: If you are the home team, you need to enter the name of the referee, if no referee was appointed or

the appointed referee was unable to do the match. If the appointed referee does the match, then leave this blank.

Referee mark (in three parts):

Out of 40 Overall decision making

Out of 30 Judgement on major decisions

Out of 30 Overall control

Referee Marking Guidance When marking a referee, clubs are advised to take the following into consideration Overall Decision Making - Did the Referee:

• Recognise patterns of play and not invade player/game space

• Correctly recognise and award throw-ins, goal-kicks and corners

• Demonstrate consistent and credible recognition, detection and interpretation of ‘normal’ Law 12 offences i.e. but not limited to; foul tackles, holding, aerial challenges, handball etc.

• Recognise Law 11 + 12 offences and advantage application opportunities, not merely possession, applied in credible areas and/or applied without detriment to match control

• Demonstrate awareness of when appropriate to use the range of management techniques available, before resorting to formal disciplinary action i.e. the STEP process

• Recognise where player(s), teams(s) are using time consuming tactics and takes positive appropriate action i.e. preventative actions

• Demonstrate high levels of fitness and work rate throughout the entire game to meet the demands of the game

Judgement of Major Decisions (Cautions/Non-Cautions, Send Offs/Non-Send Offs, Penalties/Non-Penalties, Goal Awarded/Disallowed or other significant game changing decisions) - Did the Referee:

• Demonstrate identification of ‘significant game impact’ incidents and offences with appropriate action(s) applied

• Demonstrate the ability to recognise the importance of potential key match decisions and effectively move towards/gain an optimum viewing angle to (a) judge, (b) enhance credibility and (c) adds value to the decision

In the highly unlikely event of there being no major decisions, a standard mark of 15 should be awarded to the Referee. Overall Control and Player Management - Did the Referee:

• Act in a positive manner in their Pre-match Communication and Off-Field Behaviour

• Lead their team, ensuring all officials worked in harmony without contradictory decisions (where ARs are appointed)

• Display empathy for the game, managing game situations in an empathetic manner recognising the ever-changing ebbs/flows, nature and temperature of the game and adapts refereeing style to suit

• Recognise when/how to raise his/her profile to aide their match control and remain in self-control of emotions, demonstrating composure

• Recognise when appropriate to enter face-to-face dialogue with the Assistant Referee(s) (where applicable), to aide visual co-operation and major decision making

• Effectively manage, when appropriate, two-way interaction with players, technical staff etc.

• Demonstrate a natural authority/confidence – not influenced by players, spectators or team officials


Referee report (low mark): If the total mark is below 61, you must include your reasons for this in the box provided.

Please make your comments as constructive as possible, so we can help referees improve their performance.

Below the referee section, you will find the Respect Marks and the Pitch Marks section. Please answer both

questions for the Respect Marks and select the appropriate answers regarding the pitch.

Enter all the required information, press and then press the League Team Marks tab.

TAB 2 – League Team Marks

Next you need to answer three quick questions to help the League ensure rules are being followed. For the second

question, if you did not ask to see the Squad List, then leave this blank.


Enter the required information, press and then press the Player Statistics tab

TAB 3 – Player Statistics

Finally, you need to enter the player statistics. It is recommended that you use the Quick Stat Entry screen for this.

Quick Stats screen

The list of eligible players will appear on the left (where the blue box appears on the image below).

Various stats are shown on the screen and below is a summary of what must be entered (mandatory) and what is up the team (optional). Started – mandatory for all teams* Bench used – mandatory for all teams Bench unused – optional Captain – optional Goal – mandatory for U12-U16, optional for U7-U11 Own goal conceded – do not use (see below on entering own goals) Yellow card – optional Sin Bin – not used (will come in next season) Second yellow card – optional Red card – optional * This should not be more than the format of your match, e.g. for 5v5, the starters should not be more than 5.

When you have entered all the stats, press

After you press the update button, a summary table will appear underneath for you to double check what you have

entered.


Entering own goals

These should be entered by the team that benefits from the own goal and should NOT be entered as “Own Goal

Conceded” by the team that scored them, as the reporting system enters these incorrectly.

If you need to record an own goal scored by the opposition in the match, click

And then click

The screen should then look like the image below. In the section headed Time Stat, click on the dropdown box with

the title Stats and select Opposition Own Goal and press the red Create button to save (you can include the time if

you wish, but this is not important).

If there are more than one own goals by the opposition, do this as many times as required, e.g. if there are two own

goals scored by the opposition, you create two “opposition own goal” entries.

When you are happy that everything has been done, then log out of the system

And then relax – you have completed the match stats.

Note: Match Statistics can also be entered via the FA Matchday App, which is available for download

from the Apple iStore, but please check Full-Time to ensure the statistics have been added correctly.


4. Power Play (Under 7s)

The FA Power Play option for small-sided football matches (5v5 and 7v7) will be in operation at Under 7 only for the Autumn League and Winter-Spring League 2019-2020.

Below is guidance on how this works during a match.

During a match when the goal difference reaches 4, the losing team may bring on an additional player [power play stage 1].

At the point the goal difference falls back to 3, the losing team must withdraw the additional player (this can be any of the players from the losing team on the pitch).

If the goal difference reaches 6, the losing team may bring on another additional player (taking the total up to 2

additional players) [power play stage 2].

At the point the goal difference falls back to 5, the losing team must withdraw one of their additional players (this can be any of the players from the losing team on the pitch). At the point the goal difference falls to 3, the losing team must withdraw their final additional player (this can be any of the players from the losing team on the pitch).

The table below shows how this might work during a match.
