There is no consistency in ANY of their rulings. Here are a few examples, A player is sent from the ground for offencive language! when the F word was to be heard every couple of minutes throughout the game. A player chasing a ball that rolled out of bounds kicked it(over the clare road) after the central umpire had called "throw it in" no free, no 50m, no report for time wasting, And from the resulting throw in a goal was scored for the offending team. The umpire (whom should be a advertisement redhead matches) was over ruling the other ump from over 100m away and totally out of position when looking head on to a pack of around 8 players running at him, He pays a free for a push in the back!(also resulting in a goal). These umpires had a direct influence on the result of the game. Also WHY don't umpires reward good tackles that forces an INCORECT DISPLOSALE OF THE BALL? Has it been removed from the rule book?
lets look at this one, a player kicks a player to try and trip him, gets sent off with a 50m penalty, and no report. That player is later sent off again (not sure why the umpire picked him up for swearing though, thought the scuffle he was in at the time should have been a better reason, if this was the one you were talking about?), still no report.
A player has a shot at goal, ball passes 3/4 post high, 1m to left of goal post (point), goal umpire signals goal. luckily in the words of the field umpire commonsense prevailed the goal umpire was over ruled and a point was awarded.
surely not!!
i thought only Virginia received the bad umpiring calls
now we cop it every time he umpires our games. Not laughing now
