League communication

[Jonno]

Ok im probably speaking out of turn here, but who is this Gary Twyman and why does he feel the need to speak to people via email with such smugness and so very little respect?

 

I'm sick of recieving emails which include a sarcastic note about teams failing to do this, or failing to do that. Does it need to be included in the main body of the email? If clubs have failed to report results properly, let them know via the normal channel of writing to them. I don't need to know.

 

Whilst I understand it may be frustrating to those who work hard for the league collating all the information, the tone that it is often written in, I find quite demeaning.

 

"I expect Tony will be in touch with you..."

 

Really?? No s**t Sherlock! How utterly arrogant and patronising.

 

A number of league officials have suffered administrative problems this season, including scheduling of fixtures and distribution of results, tables etc. I understand this has been due to a number of reasons including hacking, hard drives failing and other such nuisances.

 

But have I fired off a snotty email to anybody, stating the obvious and talking down to people?

 

Do I send an email such as...

 

"I expect I didn't recieve this weekends results until Sunday night due to yet another computer error. I expect the fixtures will be changed around again. I expect clubs will be in touch with you..."

 

No, I bite my tongue and understand that the best way to communicate is with respect and patience.

 

In short, yes clubs are responsible for ensuring rules and guidelines are followed accurately, but when they inevitably fall foul, don't talk to people like naughty pre school children.

 

And don't ever forget that without clubs paying fines, the league income would be significantly reduced and the biscuits at the next committee meeting may be plain digestives as opposed to the dark chocolate hobnobs that you're used to.

 

Rant over.

 

P.S the above posting is my own personal view and doesn't necessarily represent the view of my club, committee, players or officials. Keep up the good work but be nice to people. Costs nothing.

 

Cheers,

 

Jonno

We had 4 officials rock up at Hertford yesterday. Another hard drive error maybe?

Perhaps one was looking for a career change

I told him to stay and act as 4th. Official but he wasn't having it.

Wow don't let it bother you.

 

[Jonno]

Manners cost nothing SB. Everyone works hard in non league football, league and club officers alike. Doesn't give you the right to talk down to people.

This is serious. 

 

Cant believe the hobnobs are going.

 

I assume this does not apply to match officials.

It just had to be you involved on the game didn't it

Agree fair enough.

[Munchkin]

Not sure putting it on this forum is the right way to go, would have been better to actually go directly to the league. Like you say naming and shaming is not appropriate but applies equally to your posting.

[Jonno]

As i originally stated, the view is my own personal one and not necessarily shared by club I am affiliated to. I don't think I can write to the league with a personal view, only one that is in the interest of my club.

[Munchkin]

No but a polite response back would have been more appropriate than this forum. Just my opinion and obviously everyone is free to air their comments whatever way they feel is appropriate.

[MeadowEnder]

It might be an idea for people to learn how to use bcc before everyone is spammed to death.

Lol

Received this email this morning:

 

Hi all,

 

Thought I'd pass on details of a competition in a magazine I'm editing. You can win top tickets to England v Montenegro – and England v Poland.

 

Just click these two links and enter your phone number and your email. It's that simple.

 

Montenegro: http://surveys.thefa.com/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=m6KH8l95

 

 

Poland: http://surveys.thefa.com/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=m6KH8m95

 

 

 

Kind regards

This has got to stop.... Don't spam the email contact list. And surely the SSMFL should be protecting my email address from falling into the hands of spammers? I would have thought the data protection act comes into play here.

[nellie]

Lucky you Jonno I received it last night and this morning lol

[Monkey8]

Same...double bubble for me!

[Jonno]

Not really on in my opinion. I don't see anyone else sending emails to the contact list trying to flog stuff or promote their business. I've sent an email to Mr Twyman airing my concerns. No response as yet.
