Kangaroo Court
 
This page was updated 7/20/08
 
Dictionary.com defines a Kangaroo Court as “a mock court set up in violation of established legal procedure.”
 
As it pertains to FC Spare Tire purposes, legal procedure is anything demonstrated that does not cause ridicule or a degree of shame.
 
So by that definition, “illegal” procedures that would be cause for restitution in Kangaroo Court include actions that include but are not necessarily limited to: 
  • Booting a ball that unintentionally blasts an unsuspecting teammate
  • Going to the wrong field OR showing up at the wrong time on game day
  • Being late to a game due to female influence
  • Failing to put a corner kick in-bounds
  • Having family members check on your overall personal well-being via the FCST Web site
  • Not showing for a game after informing no one about it
  • Any blatantly heinous, embarrassing miss at a shot on goal
Fines for the above offenses can range anywhere from 50 cents to a few bucks. Proceeds go toward post-game pitchers of beer or toward a new ball - depending on how much is racked up. Currently, the collected pot accumulation stands at:
 
$70.07

Defender Shawn Menning is fined $ .50 for crying, according to Steve Lassiter, that Farley would not remember to bring him a jersey for the Dark Hadou game (which Farley did).

Defender Bracey Rogers is fined $1.50 for arriving to the Dark Hadou match without socks but with a pair of pretty pink shinguards.

Midfielder Tim Farley is fined $1 for toe-punching a shot attempt on a one-on-one chance with the keeper to open scoring in his poster winter-session debut after coming off injury that could have been the game's opening goal in the Dark Hadou FC game (this has since been paid).

Midfielder Scot Rogers is fined $1 for a yellow card received June 22 upon going into the FC Untied keeper on a score attempt to which he agreed if he was the keeper the offending player should be carded

Forward Isaiah Harris is fined $5 for showing up 25 minutes late to the Wavebreakers game after changing clocks in his house the night before thinking daylight saving time ended in the morning. Harris, who had woken up with plenty of time before kickoff, was 42 days early in doing so.

Forward Steve Lassiter is fined $1 for not kicking in a sure-score from mere yards out for fear of being offsides even though the referee moments later confirmed Lassiter was not offsides in the Seattle Sangam game. “My back was to him when it first happened,” Lassiter said. “If I am as quick as Doug, I would still say it wasn't a sure thing. If it had bounced the other way it would have been right in front of the open goal.” (this has since been paid)

 

Keeper Shelby Dobbs in the Sept. 9 Munich game is fined $5 for not picking up a roller into his box which resulted in his short goal kick to a Munich forward who took touches and blasted in a seemingly easy third score to pull his team within one (this has since been paid).
