Having problems with message search?
Will, I hope you're healed enough to be able to and still want to play. I didn't mean to try to drive you away, sorry about that. Calling fouls should happen, you're right. Slowing it down some is ok, I don't want to get hurt any more than anyone else :-)
So much for this being "hotlanta" and global warming melting the earth away. Just when I thought I'd be playing for the skins team the jacket will have to come back out of the closet ...

There should be no slide-tackling in any of our games. The playing
surface is not suitable, we have no referee to adjudicate such
challenges, and so on. Players should also be careful of "lazy"
challenges, that is, the casual foot or leg inserted from the side as a
player with the ball makes her or his way through traffic. And it goes
without saying that lifting one's leg above the waist, studs showing,
in traffic constitutes dangerous play.
Having said that, in more than two years I have not seen any malicious
fouls. I have not seen shirt pulling, simulation, head-butting, time
wasting or other attempts to bring the game into disrepute. From my
experience, MACSL participants are interested in fair play and in
having a good run, not so interested in "victory" or in seeing injuries
incurred in a recreational game.
We can emphasize the no-slide-tackling credo on Saturday. I hope we'll
have a turnout despite the 30-degree drop in temperature. Bring extra
woolies.
