Without the referee we would not be able to enjoy the Game. The referee deserves respect at all times and there is no place for any form of abuse to be directed at the referee, either on or off the field. Players regularly make mistakes, and the match official is not perfect and he / she too will not always get it right. If the referee does make an error of judgement that should never the signal for abuse from a player, coach, official or a spectator. Remember that, in almost all cases the referee is a volunteer and provides a service to the game so that we can all enjoy it. People wanting to referee are in short supply, and one of the reasons given for the shortage of volunteers is, alleged abuse. PLEASE RESPECT THE REFEREE AT ALL TIMES. THE REFEREE The playing enclosure is out of bounds at all times except to those authorised to be there by the game regulations. Spectators are asked to remain behind the barriers (where they exist), and where pitches do not have a permanent barrier, you are requested to stand well back from IS AN the touch line. This will allow the touch judge to officiate without hindrance, and also reduce the probability of injury to any player or spectator in the event of a collision! INTEGRAL Whilst people are free to encourage their team it is expected that supporters will use moderate PART OF language so as not to intimidate or offend others. There have been instances, particularly at junior and youth games, where there has been encroachment on the field, or dubious verbal encouragement from parents. This is not a good example to set. Lads and lasses need the OUR freedom to express themselves on the field of play without any undue intimidation from the sidelines. GAME Carlisle RFC will not hesitate to take appropriate action where necessary, Have a great day, RESPECT PLEASE . 2 2 INSIDE THIS ISSUE Broughton P 2 Mumblings 3 Rocke on cup duty v Kendal in cup last week Captain 4 MORT’S MUMBLINGS Well, the Cumbria Cup has come and gone for another Youth 9 season and the long wait for silverware will be transferred to next season! It’s not that we couldn’t have beaten Ken- dal at Warwick Road last week; we beat ourselves instead! Clearly there is a need for a little more steely determination Gossip 12 and concentration in our play. So much looked promising for much of the game, and with five minutes remaining, and having had them on the back foot for much of the game, we let the barriers down, and in they went for a brace of tries to seal the right of passage to the next round. Sponsors 30 Lessons will be learnt, and for those that were beating themselves up after the game - don’t - everyone did their damndest. The disappointment last week was the fact that TEAMSHEET 31 we let the match slip in the dying embers of the game, hith- erto this season, a period in games when we have been strong and deliberate. Back to league action this afternoon gives us the chance to Respect Code 32 improve our league standing but beware, Broughton Park have been sending out warning signals with their results! 3 MR PRESIDENT CAPTAIN COMMENTS Last Saturday is a weekend we don’t want to remember, a game that was in the bag with five minutes to go and when a lack of concentration, skills and decision making let us down. But, we have to dust ourselves down and get back on the horse, and once again learn from our mistakes; a regular line now in these columns! It feels as though the county cup is not meant to be at this club, and I don’t know why!

They are not alone, with several other counties having taken similar actions. Worrying also, is the fact that some staff have been put on notice. With the World Cup approaching we should be looking to de- velop the game further, rather than be looking to make sav- ings. Any ideas to help, the county officialdom will be glad of any constructive ideas to help. Cumbria RFU, England Rugby (RFU) & the International Rugby Board govern the Game at various levels.
