IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL PLAYERS AND CLUB OFFICIALS
5th September 2008
Law 12 – Use of offensive, insulting or abusive language
The situation regarding the above during matches under the jurisdiction of the FAW was recently considered by the FAW 's Referees Committee. The Committee recommended and it was approved by FAW Council that from the start of the 2008/09 season strong action should be taken by referees in all matches when players were guilty of using offensive, insulting or abusive language or gestures in accordance with Law 12.
The South Wales FA has been asked to make all players, clubs and leagues aware of this decision. The Association has advised ALL Clubs, Secretaries and Leagues of this position and that referees have now been instructed to ensure that they apply this Law of the Game correctly and with common sense.
The South Wales FA has received numerous complaints over the use of offensive, insulting and abusive language in particular on public parks where foul language is shouted across the field of play and can be clearly heard by everyone within the vicinity. All parties must now stamp out this behaviour. Continuation will result in offenders being severely dealt with.
Updates

The Senior Cup Round One draw has been made and this is displayed on the "Senior Cup 2008/2009" page of the Competitions section. The first weekly disciplinary list has also been added and this appears on the "Current Season" page of the Discipline section.
We will publish information on this page detailing events that affect clubs, Leagues and referees. Some items will be held at the top of the list where we consider they are likely to be referred to by readers during the season – others will be replaced by more recent content as it is added.
