he handled the situation well but still ended the game very upset, now that really does give me the shits
Chuck the whistle at em and say "you do better"
shuts up em real quick
Agree, was thinking about it yesterday - reckon a penalty should be that they have to umpire their own games for the next 3 weeks, only way the message is going to get across
Mate we had AFL umpire John Haworth (#17) up her for half our last NTFL season
He reported a coach for calling out in an Girls footy game, “your goal umpire”
Under law 22.2 it is using abusive and insulting language. The coach got a week. I reported a manager in an u16s game for being abusive and insulting at the end of a game. If you get sworn at you can the offensive criterion to this report. All of those are listed under law 20 as free kicks
In a nutshell Dutchy, tell your son if he get abused by an adult runner again, as a minimum pay a free kick and if they don’t learn from having a free kick paid against them report them.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
